Business in wool has been of smaller

higher.

Wheat LEAPS UPWARD ON
LIVERPOOL EXCITEMENT
General Rush Of Speculative Buying
at Chicago on Strong Mar
ket Abroad.

CHICAGO, February 19.-Wheat prices
leaped upward today. impelled by
strong and excited market at Liver
pool. where the highest figures on this
years crop were being paid. with nc
abatement in the demand. There was
a general rush of speculative buying
here, and offerings were very scahty
until a rise of 3A had been attained
Attention centered wholly on Br1tlst
efforts to circumvept the German at
tempt at a submarine blockade.
After opening 1h to 3A above las'
night. and fluctuating rapidly, the mar
ket here steadied at about ~ under
the top level reached.
Corn Ascends With Wheat.
Corn ascended with wheat. Buying
was on large scale, with shorts
especially active in hurryins to cover.
Country offerings to arrive were small,
and there were reports of a big falling
off in shipments from Argentina.
The opening, which ranged from IA
Is to 34a7s higher. was followed by
additional gains and then moderate
reaction
In oats the upward tendency of
prices was met by free selling on the
part of several leading concerns.
Commission Houses Buy Oats.
Commission houses were the chief
sources of demand.
Higher prices for grain helped make
provisions firm. Advances were re-
stricted. however, owing to uncer-
tainty as to the course of the hog
market.
Wheat Closes Weak.
Gossip that the advance here had
checked export buying tended later to
bring about a decided setback for
wheat Bears were also inclined to
regard the suspension of all travel be-
tween England and the continent as
ominous of Interruptions to wheat
traffic from America. The close was
weak, at the same as last night to IS
down.
Inability to confirm statements re-
sarding immense corn export sales yester-
day led afterward to IA further down turn.
The close was weak, at "sa&4 to Is al

FORKS
team ON
STRIKE

Grand Forks, N. D., June 1.-The
Grand Forks baseball team went on
a strike this afternoon when their
ultimatum to the club demanding that
they be paid expense money for their
transportation from their homes to
this city at the beginning of the sea-
son was rejected. Acting under legue
rules the Grand Forks club has not
paid transportation expenses, the
league rules being against such pro-
ceedure.
When the men were paid off this
morning for their work to date they
appeared before Director A. J. Kav-
anaugh with demand for expense
money, presenting the declaration that
they would all strike in the event the
money was not forth coming. Direc-
tor Kavanaugh informed the delega-
tion of baseballers that he would not
accede to their demands. They gave
him until two o'clock to change his
mind. When that hour arrived Kav.
anaugh repeated his assertion that
he would not accede and the men de
elared their strike under way.
kavanaugh conferred with President
Burmeister this morning and alse
with Charles Moll, owner OF the st
iBoniface franchise simultaneously
with their strike declaration every
player participating was suspended
from professional baseball.
AS result they lose their salaries
and are barred from professional ball
the ultimate effect being the loss to
them of considerable more than is in
volved in. the controversy here.
