Paris. July 2s.-The news of the Of

Church and State.
To-day the solid patriotic feeling OF
the nation is visible everywhere. and

generation Frcnchmen are all united

DAYS of Letter Recalled.


When trading closed with September
wheat quoted at 329s cents bushel it
was estimated that business was being
transacted at the rate of 100000 a
minute. The oldest traders declared
that nothing like the scenes had been
enacted on the board since May, 1898,
when Letter ran corner in wheat and
the price of the product rose If cents
bushcl in few hours.
Although failures were momentarily
looked for, none was announced. To-
night. however, margins were being
called for right and left and to such a
vide degree that it seemed certain the
volume of business tomorrow would
DC greatly restricted as compared with
to-day. regardless of how high or low
the market might go. Stories of fort
rnes made and lost to-day were nu-
merous, but in most cases We're not
we'll verified. The most specific case
of sudden riches was that Of a here
tofore obscure trader who made SIS 900
in exactly five minutes.
Like Closing Exchange.
In some quarters there was 4 dis
position tonight to regard the calling
OF margins to the extent OF 20 cents
a bushel as next door to the action
OF European and Canadian authorities
IN locking the doors of exchanges out
right. The effect Of demanding such
heavy protection for brokerage houses,
it was said. would be to restrict spec
ulation to a minimum and to shut off
ventures from small calibre traders
who might easily work far-reaching
damage by not standing by obligations

course.
High margins were defended to-
night by those responsible. the ground
being taken that the present situa-
ton was only parallelcd by conditions
in the American Civil War and at the
time of the Franco Prussian War.
During both Of those conflicts yaria.
tons of 10 to 90 cents a day on wheat
values were not unprecedented. and
might now be yet equalled. either up
or down. # not far outdone.
Close observers of market condi-
tons said that to-morrow's develop

the character of the war news re-

the war on prices opinions of traders
differed
Possibility of 81 Wheat.
Some expressed the opinion that If
England. Germany and France were
involved wheat might 20 to 81 a
bushel. while others declared such a
sensational rise was improbable be-
cause of the great risk in attempting
shipments of grain to blockaded ports.
