CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE
Future Grain and ProyisIons

CHICAGO, Feb. 23.-Sensational bullish news
from Europe caused a pyrotechnical display at
the opening of the wheat market. during which
the May delivery passed the previous high record
mark and sold at $1.1615. Later in the session
the record again smashed when the price
touched $1-165s. The bulge at the start was due
to sharp advances in the price of wheat at all
of the leading grain centers of Europe. The
strength abroad was caused by drouth news from
India and by the disturbed political situation In
Europe The upturn at the start brought out
liberal realizing sales. which caused quick re-
action, the price of the May delivery within five
minutes being forced down to 81 .1J15. Support
by the leading bull carried the price back again
to $11G in almost an equally short space of time
For time the market comparatively dull
and prices showed little change, but during the
last half of the day extreme nervousness pre-
vailed and the volume of business was unusually
large feature Of the trade WAS the relative
strength OF the July delivery which sold up to
81 .02M 1.02lk on covering by shorts. Toward
the close the May delivery showed tendency to
decline and at the finish the price was only
shade above the previous close. final quotations
being at Sl-i53i July closed at S1.e1l2.

European Gold Accommodations.

Hayden. Stone & Co. OF Boston say:
For very long period the European markets
have had 10 contend with obstructive fnfiu-
after another. whereby anything in the ma
ture Of a healthy speculative development has
been rendered practically impossible. Indeed il
has been quite the other way and repression
and forced liquidati tion have seemingly been quite
necessary up 10 within very time. The
result is that the European speculative situation
ought 40 be very thoroughly liquidated We are
all familiar with the enormous accumuations of
gold which have occurred in the great European
banks during the last is months. Once the
financial and industrial position throughout Eu-
rope is definitely felt TO be thoroughly sound
there ought TO be a swing Of the pendulum in
the other direction. While the turn from liau-
dation 10 expansion might not suddenly become
violent yet the more moderate that its character
may prove 10 be the greater the likelihood that
il viii continue for q long time.
To-day the Bank Of France has $i75O 600 600
more Of gold than il had year ago. that of
Germany $z5,oo0,o00 more, that of Russia S25,-
