WILD SCENES ON THE
CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE
Wheat Passes the Dollar Mark, Orders
to Buy Pouring In From All Over
the United States.

Chicago.-In the most sensational
opening in the history of the Chicago
board Of trade, wheat on Monday shot
past the dollar mark Heavy realiz-
ing sales pushed the price backward
somewhat, but at the close the mar
ket was strong and, according to the
majority OF spectators on the board,
the demand upon which the late adj
vance has been made Is still unsatis-
fed. The net advance for wheat was
4 cents for the July and September
options and Az cents for the Decem-
Der From the low point of Monday
OF last July wheat has advanced 13A
cents. September has gone up 15%
cents and in the December option, the
highest point of the day was 16%
cents above the low price of the prey
ious Monday.
1t was certainty that a strong /
bulge would take place in the wheat
market at the opening. County or
iers had been poured in, seemingly
n an endless stream, and In obedience
% them brokers stood ready to buy
nliilons or bushels at the market.
shorts were in highly nervous con-
ition and were eager to cover. The
esult was that as soon as the gong
ounded there was a terrific roar of
oices. all anxious to buy and nobody
ffering to SELL
The rush of buying orders seemed
come from almost every city in the
nited States which was situated
ong a telegraph wire. They came :
ON Winnipeg and from Louisiana,
"a from points on the Pacific and
tlantic seaboards. 8
