CHICAGO wheat PIT
PRICES TOOK A JUMP sky
WARD SATURDAY.
Dollar a Bushei is the Slogan of Bulls
Pit Lid is Loose-WiId Mob of
Spectators Participates in the Pan
demonium-Buy, Buy, the Orders
December Options Advance Cents.

Chicago, May 1.-THE lid is loose
on the Chicago wheat pit. A shouting
screening mob of spectators lifted
it high during the short Saturday ses-
sion, replacing it lightly, ready for an
other boost Monday.
That it will be boosted high as a
kite is the common prediction, and
wheat at SIPS is promised soon.
The bull crowd stampeded the pit
and the buying element was in control.
December wheat closed with rush at
e5 cents, a gain of cents for the day
and 8 cents during the week, while
July closed at 81 ga cents, a gain OF
7 ga cents for the week. There were
high figures for the year. Bears who
had not needed the ominous warnings
of the early days of the week fran
tically endeavored to get from under
adding to the excitement.
Spectators went into the pit and
fought shoulder to shoulder with theil
clerks in an effort to fill the rush o.
orders to buy" which poured in from
all over the country.
Excitement such as has not beef
seen on the board since the "blacl
rush" scare of 1904 existed. The fran
tic efforts made by the bears to ge
from under the advance were met b,
a demand which came from all part
of the country and swept everything
before it. The high mark for the Jul
option was 81 ga cents, for September
SO ga cents and for December, 95 l.
cents.
The cause of the upturn which ha
taken place in the last few days is tn
widespread belief that this year
crop of winter wheat will show bi
decrease as compared with that c
1906. Cold weather in the west an
northwest, freezing temperatures !
the Canadian northwest and damag
said to have been done in the soutl
west by the green bug aided the rus
upward.
1t was reported here today frol
Winnipeg that not more than Is pc
cent of the estimated acreage ha
thus far been seeded in the PROVING
of Manitoba.
The local traders were of the OPT
ion that wheat has been advancing tc
rapidly during the last few days an
that a reaction was due. So many o
ders poured in from the country, hoy
ever, that it was certain that the e
pected setback would not come unit
later in the day. Once trading was
full swing the orders from the cou
try came so fast and in such numb'
that the local crowd was carried b
fore it.
The flood of buying orders co
tinued, and when the market close
the prices were close to the high mai
of the day and the movement SCENE
to have lost no force.

SUBMARINE is A WONDER.
American Boat Can Dive in Mo
ment'S Time.


Newport, R. All American rec
ords for quick diving by a submarine
boat were broken recently when the
submarine Octopus went through a
series of extraordinary tests in Cod
dington cove. Weather conditions
were not favorable.
The principal test was to determine
whether the Octopus, while afioat,
would be able to get submerged quick
ly if an enemy should be sighted. Run
ming at full speed on the surface, pro-
PEELED by gasoline engines, the Octo-
pus received a signal from members
of the trial board on board the ten
der Nina. Immediately the engines
were stopped and power was furnish
ed by storage batteries. Diving rud-
ders were adjusted, the submarine
took 81 tons of water into her tanks
and sank to a depth of 20 feet. This
was accomplished in four and one-hali
| minutes. A second test reduced the
time by about half a minute.
The next test was to gain informa
ton as to the ability of the boat tt
make a complete turn within a giveI
1 area. A test was also made to deter
mine the ability of the Octopus t.
come to a full stop while running a
full speed under water
When coming to the surface fror
one of her dives the Octopus sighte
in the lifting fog a tug and tow O
barges. The submarine immediatel
dived and escaped the danger of
collision. At another time when tn
Octopus was running awash at a spec
of 10 knots she dived and was con
pletely submerged in % seconds.

WILL USE THE BOYCOTT.
San Francisco Unions Fight Streetcar
COmpany.

SOI1PdIJs
San Francisco, May 14-There is
very little change in the strike situa-
ton in this city Despite the fact that
80 cars were operated today on two
lines of the United railroads without
disturbance or molestation, and $4,000
people, according to the figures OF the
company, availed themselves of this
partial service. President Calhoun to-
night was apparently far from opti-
mistic over the situation. He frankly
admitted that the carmen had them
guessing" as to their next move and
expressed himself as puzzled by the
apparent peace and reports received
by him which indicated serious trouble
later. The sudden change from the
fierce rioting the first part of the week
created the idea that some unexpected
movement was being contemplated
That the United railroads is still far
short OF the required number of men
to operate its system is evident from
the fact that the company is advertis-
ing in 20 different cities for conductors
and motormen. 1t is understood that
there are now between 500 and 600
strikebrakers in the city, and 200
more are expected to arrive in a day
or two.
Unquestionably the firm stand taken
by Governor Gillett when he an
nounced through the Associated Press
that he would judge the San Francis
co situation by the acts of the PEG
pie and would not hesitate moment
to call out the militia II rioting should
be continued, had a SOLDERING effect on
hundreds OF troublemakers whose acts
of violence made the history OF the
past week one of riot.
