TWO DOLLAR WHEAT
IS NEAR At HAND
No ONE KNOWS WHAT THE MAR
kET WILL Do TODAY--YEs-
TERDAY's PRICE sf8a.

Chicago. Feb. 1.-Two dollar wheat
ntidentls predicted by the Board OF
Trade men to be a fact before the
new crop movement. came nearer TO
realization today when the price OF
the May option bounded up TO sl.S5.
and increase Of 3 IA cents over the
closing 2ri,a Monday and seven cents
over the previous high price.
The close was at the high mark
and when nc gong had sounded end
Ing the da~'s trading there dever-
oped r'tuation declared by the old
est traders or the board to ba
unique in he history of the exchange.
Privileges on She May option were
bid up TO sis5. Never before, say
the Axain men. has the insura ace
price on possible high iigure Of the
opening tho next day gone twenty
cents above the closing figure in the
public.
There Is but one explanation. trad
efs say, nancly---the lack of supplies
and consequent pantckg condition OF
the market make II possible for mast
amy kind of situation 10 develop
over night, and while there were not
any traders tonight who would aay
that twenty cent Jump was preba :
BILE tomorrow. all admitted that II was
within the realm of possibility. AS
a general proposition. however, the
traders look for a steadily advancing
price until new crop movement in July.
The bulge today was caused i'm large
part from a new food or orders which
poured in from Italy, and other foreign
nations which have lifted all import
duties from wheat and -four.
Cash wheat and the July option also
shared In the advance. Cash wheat ad-
vanced to s1.ss and July went kiting
to the tune of si.&3 IL. The margin
on the July speculative transactions
was advanced ten cents, The occasion
has been rare when the privileges"
were more than Ave cents over the
closing price, traders say.
