CHICAGO, Ills. July l4.-Wheat

on The board of trade today. establish
ing a new high record for the season
and giving promise of repetition or
the recent deal headed by James
A. Patton and his colleagues in the
May option.
The Immediate cause of the buying
furry was additional rainfall last night
in Kansas and Missouri, where the
new crop of wheat Is now harvesting
or is awaiting the thresher and dis
patches from other harvesting and
wheat shipping regions, telling or
damage TO the new crop by excessive
rains.
More Storms Today.
In addition, the official forecast for
tomorrow for the principal wheat
growing states predicted additional
thunderstorms. Warehousemen and
professional traders were said to be
the principal shorts.
Elevator men weeks ago bought
wheat Ia the fields In winter wheat
states and sold July wheat In this
market. Since that tine wet weather
has lnterfered with threshing opera
tions and thus prevented quick deliy-
cry OF the new crop. What little con-
tract wheat there Is for delivery in
Chicago now belongs to the Patten
clique. ~
Pstten Told Shorts TO Buy.
When shorts went to Mr.. Pstten
early in the day with offers OF settle
ment. it is said they were told to buy
the grain in the pit. This caused the
cent advance.
The market closed at almost the
top. Final quotations on July were
recorded at s1.26%az. AS a result
OF the advance -four was marked up
to 20 cents for the best descrip-
tions of old wheat variety, while new
wheat -four was advanced 10 cents a
barrel.

MORE WITNESSES TELL

Evelyn May be Put on Stand Again
Tooay--She Gets $500 a Month
From Husband.
(By Associated Press).

WHITE PLAINS. y. Y, July H.
Evelyn Thaw's lips were still closed
ry 1. gal technicalities today and she
did not resume the stand as expected
90 estify for the State in opposing
Harry X. Thaw's attempt to prose-
h.h.self insane Illegal.
The States attorneys announced NJ
at lourr ament yesterday that thew
would show today that the much dis
pnted conversation between Thaw ana
his wife at the asylum in which Thaw
i surpassed TO have threatened TO k.n
her when he got out. was not privileg-
ed. and therefore Evelyn lhaw w"'iN
L., recalled and her testimony on ms
roint would be admired But IFS
':aaw was not called TO the stand. IN
steal there was continuation Of m
lay testimony in Thaw's behalf.
Judge inclined to Admit IT,
Again tomorrow the State will ar
tempt to show that his conversa-
ton should not be excluded. At the
conclusion today Justice Mills an
nounced that unless further reason
was advanced for excluding Evelyn
Thaw's testimony. he would be in
clined to admit it.
Accordingly Evelyn Thaw was re-
subpoaened to appear and probably
will be called as the first witness fer
the State.
A great crowd packed the court
room today as en- yesterday. hoping
to hear Mrs. Thaw testify.
The testimony today was enlivened
at times by bits of humor and sever
al times Justice Mills had to call for
order. No enc seemed to enjoy the
humor more than Harry Thaw. Sew
eral times he laughed heartily AZ
some remark at his expense.
All Say Thsw is Rational.
Attendants at the state asylum at
Mattaewan testified that he always ap-
peared rational in speech and action
while under their observation. Sever
al physicians. who attended Thaw and
his wife and other members OF the
Thaw family testified along the same
line.
Thaw's mother, his two sisters. Mrs.
George l. Carnegie, and the former
Countess of Yarmouth and his brother,
Josiah sat near him during the pro-
ceedings.
Just what Evelyn Thaw's attitude
toward her husband is, is puzzling.
While she has been quoted often as
repeating in effect her famous deciara-
ton Of IN stand by you, Harry" :;
is reported that in the event her testi-
mony ultimately goes against ThaN
his attorney will call witnesses to
show that she remarked that she was
glad to see him in Matteawan.
She Gets $500 Month";.
During her testimony yesterday
Mrs. Thaw said that her husband was
not supporting her properly, but it was
brought out on the stand today that
he is paying her more than $500
month.
