the climax was already over, and that
widely held theories of an acute end

of carloads of wheat daily piling into

The most exciting collapse of
prices came exactly a week ahead of
the time which board of trade rules
had fixed as the limit for the settle
ments of contracts calling for the
delivery of wheat here this month.
Only the previous day the market
had made a steep advance of Az,

ever, were guaranteeing to rush
wheat shipments to Chicago at nearly
passenger train speed, and the sup
plies coming into view from rural
sources were proving of astonishing
volume.
Powerful interests which had
seemed in danger of being unable
to deliver sufficient wheat here to
fulfill contracts announced fatty that
nothing remained to be settled. The
assertion met no positive denial from
any quarter. and subsequent happen
ings in the wheat pit appeared for
the most part to be of an aftc--the-
battle description, although big
traders who had been actively buying
wheat accepted deliveries promptly
and declined to make any extended

Rainy weather and smallness of
country offerings helped to prevent
any violent downturn Of prices for
corn and oats.
