Many were attracted by the excitement which prevailed in the local pit to Day and at times the trading was very brisk. October opened jl.03 bid. But there was a general fear of a bulge and no one seemed anxious to sell wheat. When the american markets commenced to Draff a let to however there was some loosening up Here and considerable trading done around when Minneapolis sold up to j1.18v4 there was quite a run Here and about the time that Premier Roblin entered the Board room the excitement grow intense october shooting up to ji.otv4 it he had stopped Long enough there is no telling Weinre the prices would have to.

On wednesday of this Eccli Winnipeg october wheat sold up to ji.031-2 on the afternoon curb. This was the has Hest Point for october delivery Dur ing the history of the Grain Exchange up to that time but even at this Price the feeling was More bullish than Ihla future was Selling Assoc. At the Elmo of the letter Corner in local Cash wheat advanced to ji.531-2, but this was tha direct result of Manipula Tion while the present bulge la due almost entirely to legitimate factors. It in a very rare thing for the Market to Advance so rapidly in the face of a How crop movement and the Public Are Hiu to think that these High prices Ore caused by Large manipulators cornering the Markou. Thin is not True however As with conditions so alarming Natl everything Post Lola favouring a Bull mar Ket the Advance has been quite War ranted. Durlyne the letter Boom Minneapolis Crich wheat advanced to Jet yesterday was quoted for no. I Northern. This would naturally Indi Cate a very Good demand and with any further damage to the crop it would not take Lone for the Price to discount looters record. The latest and one of the most important Bull factors yet brought nut is the reported damage by rust in the Canadian Northwest. This is having considerable effect on the american markets and is experts from the Targa centres Are now working to Rogulj this country they arc Likely to Send some important Flat Nementh to the Large markets and if these Are at All alarming they will he used for All they Are Worth. Already Many sensational re ports have been sent in and these Are having the desired effect. These Are Only the beginning of what is yet to come and we believe that when the actual conditions Aro known there will be Grenter excitement than Ever. Yesterday s Advance discounted All former records on a legitimate Bull Market and Minneapolis september closed about 7c Over the any before advancing to on the curb. The local Market was also excited and prices run up sharply and at times it looked is if october would touch tl.10. Hut Tho highest Price paid wan . It was stronger on inc curb however and wheat Over this figure. December closed u.ois-4 May As there Era Likely to be an Abun dance of reports during the next few Days and with a fear of Frost no no will be Nix Long to sell Short. Even after Epieh an Advance and should the damage prove of Seroun As Fitl mater another 10 or 15 cents would soon be Addil to the Price of our wheat. It in a Market which conservative trading but in Apt to prove very disappointing to the Short Teller. I the advices from Northwest. Continue to be or a sensational character the Advance la. Being led by the Northwest Market and principal boy ing la from that Quarter. No other Factor to opera Tow at moment. Of tit of Felon of the option think the effect of the flocks of wheat.1 receipt Large in Southwest cables show strength but Are. Not Keeshig up with the Advance. The whole situation ,1s unusual and the action of the Market much 10 that it is difficult to Prophesy anything regarding it. The damage to the crop he come from such an Inai Ploub cause that its effect could not be fore seen and its extent cannot be estimated. The persistent spread of it has kept persistently advancing Price. Judging by All past experiences after an Advance of to 85c per Bushel Soma reaction would seem Likely. Perhaps Only the movement of wheat will bring1 it about. We think the conditions justify High prices but we Are not enough to advise buying wheat except on Sharp whole Corn Belt has had Rains. It web needed the Market is making its tone from this influence. There la pretty Good speculative sealing of the december and May Corn on the Prospect of the growing crop. Receipts Are fair and the demand is firm also. All the tendencies of the weather seem favourable for the crop and the action of the Market considering the strength in wheat is heavy. Did not seem to be much Selling pressure in sympathy with th6 weakness in wheat and Corn. The Are a strengthening influence in to far As. They delay the threshing and move ment. Are a Shade easier. Even at this Long decline the Market shows no improvement in character of the support or in the demand. The movement of hogs and packing operations have about resumed their Normal Condi there la some Little disposition among the traders to Bur provisions and sell Corn but we see no important speculative buying in the Market. The action of the Market is not encouraging. Calamity Market at Chicago. Chicago. Aug.

Several the lips contributed to make the Market Nenson tonal. And one of the Best in years to far As Price Range la concerned. The map decidedly unfavourable for harvesting and threshing and furnished conditions for completing the damage and destruction of a Large part of the crop by rust. Winnipeg reports More in Lino with our late advices and the Jones messages. The Advance in flour and the statement from two of the representatives of the Minneapolis Mills that the Northwest would not produce sufficient wheat for milling indicated that the milling Branch of Tho Trade was no longer bearish on the wheat situation and it was figured that with their buying prices must go higher and this proved the Case to Day. Important Force in markets joined in our Advance. Liverpool closing 2d higher. Primary receipts were Liberal and Over a year ago. But shipments to Day exceeded a year ago by bushels. With the close to night at the Best prices for the Day and the highest on Telb upturn we feel sat fled that be fore the close of in week prices will be Noar j1.25. Should there be any Little weakness in the morning we should not hesitate to make purchases. Market was quiet and took Little part in the extreme activity and Advance in wheat there was favourable weather and Good Rains Over practically the entire Corn area. Cables came lower and the Trade seamed Satis fied to wait a Little longer and see i if the prediction for Frost in the North West states extends across the Corn line. At these prices Corn looks cheap enough compared with the wheat and in View of the demands that must come for the new Eros. Market was quiet and lower.

There was also a Sharp Advance in Cable to indicate a Strong feeling abroad but holders of the september took advantage of the Advance and in the liquidation together with profit taking sales the Market had a Sharp Destine and closed at the Low Point for the Day. Should january pork sell in or 111, it should be bought. Was moderately a calve. And it Nna time considerably higher.

Prices of Staple goods Are Well Dollar wheat. From the new York port there is no reason inherent in the wheat Why a Dollar a Bushel should he a particularly fateful Price. The line is wholly arbitrary. During he Twenty before 1884, thers not one in which wheat did not Rise above one Dollar. The civil War brought it High a 11.86 in Janu 4ry. 1365. And under paper Money inflation. Price touched in 1b67, 12.20 in 1888, and in after resumption of specie pay ments at the beg Linnins of the Dollar Price continued.
