WHEAT PRICES SOAR
TO NEW HIGH MARKS
War Rumors Boost May Options to
$1.21N on Chicago Board.
Gamblers Cause Rise.

CHICAGO. August 26.-Excited by
predictions that the European war
would be long drawn out. the wheat
market scared today. and half an hour
before the close wheat was Z to cents
higher than yesterdays close. Decem-
Der wheat sold at s115, and that for
delivery next May at s1.21M.
Wheat today sold on the board of
trade here at prices 10 to % cents higher
than those year a 90. On the heels of
yesterdays advance of 3 cents came
another at the resumption of trade today
and from rs to cents more was added
to the price. Wheat for delivery next
month sold at s1.O6. 1t closed last night
at Hos. and a year ago was selling at
S63s cents.
See Gamblers Profit.
The ascent, it is said, has been acceler-
ated by purchases Of the public at large
business men, normally ignorant of the
numerous factors which enter into the
making Of prices, who see gamblers
profit in the necessities caused by the
great conflict in Europe They constitute
new element in the market and experts
who ordinarily govern their trades by
crop prospects, weather. receipts, sales and
many other indications, have added pub
lie speculative sentiment to their consider
atoms
Lord Kitchener's reported estimate of
three years of war was the principal in
fuence in the market at the opening
today. The scene in the pit was wild
one for the first ten minutes, with bidders
a cent apart, but when overnight orders
were disposed Of the scene Quoted.
Very little grain actually was bought
and sold. The purchase of $1,000 bushels
Of May wheat alone was sufficient to ad-
vance the price cents near the close.
None cared to sell the cereal short and
longs were in no hurry to take profits.
