Reaching Price Levels Not Seen
Before in a Year and Two
Months.
December Wheat Break Thru to
79%
an
Down to 8014c.
Comparisons Show a Five-year
Price Range from 63%c
to $1.27.
Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, Aug. 30.
Wheat selling in Minneapolis in the seventies,
something not seen in a year and two months,
was witnessed this morning when the Decem
ber option fell thru the 80c line and was traded
in at 7d%c Minneapolis September wheat
meanwhile sold from 81 %c down to 80%c.
Comparisons are highly interesting, now that
the former low levels are being approached.
July 1, 1004, marked the breaking away from
old conditions into new. On that date December
wheat in Minneapolis closed at 79%c, but that
was the last quotation seen in the seventies
from that time to this except for a few scat
tered quotations wlien trading first began, in the
present options. On Aug. 1, 1904, Minne
apolis December was 90c on Sept. 1, $1.12 and
on Sept. 13 $1.19%. On July 1, 1904, Minne
spoils September wheat was 81%@81%c Aug.
1, 03c Sept. 1, $1.12%, and Sept. 13 $1.23%,
while in the present year, May wheat made
some big shifts over a high range, and $1.27
was top quotation for wheat here. Neither
Chicago nor Duluth went under 80c in all this
time. Prior to this Minneapolis wheat was con
sidered to be about on normal basis when selling
around 75c, and 60%c for futures was seen
here some five /.ears ago. Chicago contract
wheat sold in March, 1003, at 70%c, in October,
1002. at 07%e. in July. lSOl. at 83%c and in
1900 at 81%c. These were the days of low
pricesprices that look very low now by com
parison with what followed. How near we are
to go to them or what will be the level this
season is the paramount question ^Wheat is
away down from former high prices, but still
well above former low prices. Last year it was
predicted by competent Judges that wheat in
the sixties would never again be seen in the
United States. Somewhere about the present
price level would seem to be a reasonable halt
ing place, for there has been long and continu
ous decline. Nevertheless It was the predic
tion on the floor today that all Minneapolis
options will go Into the seventies, and cash
wheat as well, before any permanent turn for
the better will come. Men who look for this
go largely on precedent, and their knowledge
what the markets have done in the past.
Some of them are willing to admit, when
pressed, that wheat is probably low enough right
now legitimately, yet they appear to feel that
the present hear market has got to spend itself.
and that without some important change in the
situation the bears will continue to dominate.
One factor not to be overlooked in this con
nection is the attitude of the farmer. It is
quite possible that as wheat Blnks in price the
more prosperous farmers who can afford to
hold it may refuse to sell their wheat, and
should any number do this it might become
Important.
Early cash prices were l^e over and l%e
under for No. 1 and No. 2 on regular elevator
bids, and 2^@Sc over for No. 1 delivered here
by Sept. 15. No. 1 on track was quoted at
87c and 90c, No. 2, 84@86c, and No. 3, 80@83c.
There was a pretty good demand.
G. F. Piper wired Denman Johnson: "First
threshing at Dominion City 26 bu per acre, No.
1 hard, this is In southern Manitoba where a
big yield was not expected. No frost. Har
vesting will be practically completed this week,
everything being favorable."
Receipts here were 223 cars against 216, at
Duluth 23 against 22. and at Chicago 37 against
56. St. Louis got 107,000 bu against 130.000.
and Kansas City 268,000 against 231,000. Win-
nirAr had 4 against 11.
The forecast is favorable for the harvest,
fair weather being predicted for tonight and
Thursday for Minnesota and the Dakotas.
The primary receipts were 790,000 bu against
1,080,000 last year. Clearances equal 63,000 bu.
The market firmed up near the close, re
covering a cent from the low prices, and clos
ing at 81%c for September and 79%c for De
cember.

CHICAGO GRAIN
GOOD HARVESTING WEATHER AND LOWER
CABLES AFFECT WHEAT.
Chicago, Aug. 30.A continuance of perfect
harvesting wtather in the northwest had a de
pressing influence on the wheat market here
today. Lower cables gave additional emphasis
to the weakness. Pit traders were the principal
sellers. September opened %(3i%c to %@4c
lower at 78%c to 78%c. and for a time held
within the opening range. December opened %c
to %@%c lower at 80%@80%c to 80%c, sold
at 80%(a80a4c, and then reacted to 80%c.
Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported re
ceipts ot 283 cars, against 198 cars last week
and 294 cars a year ago.
A leature or trading -was persltrtent selling
of the September delivery with considerable
changing into the December option. Under this
pressure September declined to 77%c and De
cember dropped to 79%c. A report of a small
export business being done at Kansas City caused
considerable covering late in the session, result
ing in a partial recovery. The market, however,
closed rather weak, with September off %c at

Scattered demand from commission bouses held

New York, Aug. 80.The local stock market
failed to sympathize with the buoyant rise in
the London market, a number of the interna
tional stocks opening here considerably below
yesterday's closing. Losses of a point were
made in the first few minutes by St. Paul.
Reading and Amalgamated Copper. Canadian
Pacific gained about as much and there were
gains in some other stocks.
Trading was feverish and heavy. Persistent
realizing defeated efforts to rally prices and
the grain carriers and specialties fell sharply.
The local traction group, however, met support.
Japanese government bonds were fairly steady
steady at the decline until near noon when the
decline was renewed. St. Paul fell two points
and Union Pacific, Erie, New York Central and
Louisville & Nashville and other favorites ex
tended their losses to a point or more. Bonds
were steady at noon.
Buying orders did not come in in any volume
until the list showed an average loss of a Doint
and 'well exceeded tbat for St. Paul. New York
Central and Amalgamated Copper. After the
market bad rallied a fraction business became
nominal.
Reading recovered a point from the lowest
with some sympathetic effect elsewhere. The
grains, however, were poorly held, the market
showing an inclination to give wav when the
demand slackened.

When Marshal MacMahon in the Cri

An English newspaper published on
June 13, 1824, contained the following

offertory box by a lady in Georgetown,
says the Philadelphia Ledger. They
were 2-cent stamps, issued in British
Guiana in 1850. The lady had come
across an envelope among her ipapera

cumbent, Ca'iKm Josa, sold the envelope
'with th* two stamps on it by auction

year the same two stamps changed
hands at $3,250. The new purchaser
sold them for $3,900 to a German deal
er, who sold them to a Eussian noble
man for $5,000.
