Driftwood Brought Down.

Large quantities of driftwood are
coming down the river, although the
current is not so strong as it was in
1908, when the big freshet occurred.
The local weather man says that
the maximum stage will probably be
reached between midnight and p. m.
Sunday morning, and that the river
will not go higher than thirty two
feet, which does no damage in the
city.
The sewer gates opening into the
river were closed Friday night to pre-
vent the backwater from entering
the city by this method and the sewers
are emptying into Beaver ditch, (which
carries the sewerage matter into the
river by another route. There is no
alarm felt here because it is firmly be-
lieved that the water will begin to
fall after 6 o'clock Saturday and pos
sibly before.

Raid on July Wheat
and Everybody Sells
On the Chicago Market Prices Fall
Eight Cents Per Bushel from
q Week Ago.

CHICAGO. June 1s.-A sellers panic hit
July wheat today. At one time the option
showed a fall OF nearly 5 cents bushel. as
compared with a week ago
Belief was widespread that the leading
owners Of cash wheat had taken in on May
contracts and were selling the grain for
July delivery and were going short on de-
ferred months. anticipating the hedging of
new crop wheat soon. Preparatory to such
a maneuver today the bull clique appar-
emily supported the market during the early
trading and helped hoist prices. Then
came well directed effort to unload. Stop
loss selling orders from other sources. how
ever, were brought into operation.
In consequence prices dropped as much
as half a cent between trades, and before
many dealers could get a clear Idea Of the
trouble prices had tumbled to ssh cents,
a loss Of about cents from the top fig
ures today and 2h cents under Saturdays
close.
AS result Of the upset July wheat went
below the September level and seemed in
clined TO stay there.
