Man.

Buffalo, n. Y.-The voice of Ma.
CARA Is mute for the second
time in the memory of man. The
river is frozen solid from bank to
bank
On Wednesday the worst gale OF
the season was reported. Solid ice
fields of Lake Erie were churned
from end to end and piled in a hugo
mass at the lower end of the lake.
At Niagara Falls there has been n
heavy ice bridge in the pool below
the cataract since middle Of winter
Under the impact of the mass OF
ice from the lake above and the added
foes brought through by the wind
the ice bridge gave way and began
to surge down the rapids But be.
fore 1t could win freedom in the am
pie waters OF Lake Ontario, the wind
shifted To tho north.
Instantly the moving foes packed
at the mouth of the river. Each in.
slant of cold CONCEALED the pack
more solldly and each hour brought
added pressure from above.
Unable to escape by its natural
channels. the level of the river rose
by leaps and bounds. The highest
food level recorded is 2S :eet above
the normal. Friday night the river
was 40 fact above normal.

ers were asking Monday when the
market opened. His sudden change

ing he began to buy enormous quaint.
ties Of July and September wheat

bushels of his May holdings. has
taught the traders to watch the king

At the opening Of the market TO.
day there was no indication OF a
break in the record breaking price of
July and September wheat. July
maintained its advantage of Saturday.
while September bettered its Satur.
day advance and topped the los
mark. Trading in the pit, however,
was not extensive at the outset and
every one seemed to be waiting on
Patten.
Shortly after the opening. however
the market broadened and every one
bought at once. There was almost
as much excitement In the pit as dur.
ing the Wild closing hour Saturday
when prices advanced from ~ to
4 cents. BY l0:30 May wheat had
touched $1.2G, July l15A and Sep.
TENDER $1OSH.
The wave Of buying was precipitat

appears to have got hold of the mar.
ket and with such n great demand

is difficult to tell just what the Patten

The bull leader, however, is credited
with having bought July at the open.

The millers declare there are two
direct causes for this. One is the
manipulation of the market by Patten
and the bulls; and the other the enor.
nous amount Of exporting that has
been done. They declare that so
much flour has been shipped abroad
that the local market has been
drained, and that this, coming on top
of the Patten deal, has made for
higher prices Already, they dc.
