May wheat today went above the $500
mark shortly after the opening of the
board of trale session here. General buy
ing by commission houses took place after
the opening and absorbed profit-taking
sales which quickly sent initial values up

Initial quotations on May delivery were
1884, to 200. or a gain of IA to 7-S cent
over yesterdays finish. European news
continued bullish tolay and with increased
buying the May delivery went fractionally
above the two dollar mark the outside fig
ure made during the Hutchinson deal of
1898. when wheat for future delivery
reached $500.
With the exception of 1861, the price
attained during the early dealings today

for immediate delivery sold at 1920 in
November. >-t

ter the opening of the market here. Trad
ing was on a large scale AMI individual
transactions counted for little Commits
sion houses were active on both sides.
Initial strength here was brought about
by continued bullish European cables. An
additional impetus was given on reports
of firner markets at Winnipeg and Buenos
Aires.
Open quotations which varied from So
cent lower to l la cent advance with May
1891 to 90 and July 1.70@1.70 IA were
quickly followed by general rise on all

Carnival Program
Today Depends
Upon the Weather

The condition of the ice will de-
termine whether or not the program
Of the Waterville winter carnival will
be continued today, after a postpone
ment from last Wednesday. If the
fates decree a cold temperature the
events will start at Community park
this afternoon at 1890. when the fl
nails of the events for boys and girls
take place. The Misses Peterson and
Carlisle will make their first appear
ance at the rink and this is an occa-
sion that has long been awaited.
Yesterday the ice, although soft
and somewhat broken up, was not in
such condition but what freezing
night would make the surface as
smooth as it has ever been, IF it is
impossible to run off the events to-
day they will be carried over until
Sunday and the skaters have agreed
to stay in the city until then. so that
there is still almost certainty that
they will appear before Waterville
people.
