WHEAT MAKES
Sl BREAK
Drops Four and Three-fourth
Cents in Early Morning
Trading.
SPECIAL MEETING HELD
Directors Decide to Hold
Board Open Feverish
Trade in Wall Street.
Chicago. July 29 Despite great
strain and a sudden drop of more
than four centa a bushel, wheat trad
ers today escaped any failures, and
most of the time were acting under
falrj ynormal conditions. The close,
I however, showed sensational weak
ness, valuer falling away one cent in
a few minutes, and finishing at vir
tually the lowest figures of the day,
3 5-8 to 4 3-8c under last night.
-Reports of friendly conferences be
tween the czar and the kaiser over
shadowing possible speedy peace had
most to do with the reaction from
yesterday's extraordinary advance of
nearly ten cents a bushel.
Situation Perilous for Dealer.
Itf was admitted today after the
close that the situation last night
was much more perilous than appear
ed on te surface. In this connection,
the statement was made that the clos
ing of the board of trade temporarily
had not been asked for by one con
'cern or merely a few, but that the
.proposed action of the directors was
requested by a considerable number
of firms, who believed that any quick
repetition of yesterday's wild jumps
in prices would inevitably result in
the ruin of many houses that ordi
narily would be deemed able for the
gravest emergency.
Belief was general this afternoon
xqai lot? crisis uau uewn pciaocu, awu
that there would now be no further
need of even temporarily closing the
doors of the board of trade.
Transactions today did not aggre
gate one quarter the volume of yes
terday's huge total.
Chicago, July 29. Instead of ad
vancing, as most traders expected, the
wheat market today made a startling
break right at the opening First
prices were down more than two
cents a bushel.
In another minute the market had
dropped an additional two cents or
more, then there was a sudden re
bound of more than three cents, fol
lowed by another descent but in this
case not quiet so violent
The extreme point of the break in
the early trading was 4 3 4 cents un
der last night and the market grad
ually steadied at approximately two
cents down for active months and
less so for other options
The directors of the Chicago Board
of Trade held a special meeting this
morning to discuss the advisability of
closing the board because of the pres
ent tense situation.
After reviewing the conditions, the
directors decided to let the board
remain open for the time being await
ing developments.
Feverish Trade In Wall Street.
New York. July 29 The local
6tock market opened today with trad
ing feverish and in large volume.
Early losses ranged from 3 to 5 points
in Xmalgamated and Utah Coppers,
Great Northern, pfd., Reading, Can,
Smelting and some of the less active
issues.
Canadian Pacific, weakest of yester
day's international stoek6, sustained
only a slight loss Steel and some
of the other leaders were relatively
firm.
According to the official figures,
the wheat market opened 7-8 to 4 3-8c
lower than last night s close. Almost
without exception the opening figures
were the highest reached, the subse
quent rebounds not having sufficient
impetus to carry quotations back to
the point at which trading began.
Big Wheat Opening.
New York, July 29. There was a
big opening in the wheat market
with prices down about four and a
half cents under heavy liquidation by
yesterday'B buyers, but prices later
rallied two cents a bushel on less
favorable cable news and a renewal
of excited buying
Cotton, on the other hand, broke
from 11 to 24 points in response to
weak cables. Coffee opened weak
and from 19 to 24 points on quite ac
tlve selling prompted by the weak
European markets
The members of the coffee ex
change rejected a proposition to sus
pend trading today, but authorized the
board of managers to cloBe the ex
change at any time conditions war

onto stock exchange remained closed
today awaiting a change In the sit

today that the market will remaiu

THE WORLD'S
MARKET NEWS
Tense excitement and wild trading
attended the early dealings on the
stock exchange today Advices from
abroad were again of an alarming
character, with heavy losses In such
American stocks as were quoted by
the London stock exchange. Initial ,
losses here ran from 3 to 5 points in
many of the better known securities,
including Great Northern, Reading,
Amalgamated Copper. Utah Copper,
Anaconda. St Paul, Consolidated Gas
and Soo. Canadian Pacific, the weak
est of the high grade issues, recent
ly, opened at a slight advance. Steel,
which wan traded in in lots of 200U
to 5000 shares, opened with a decline
of 1 3-4. A rally of 1 to 2 points
ensued under the lead of Reading,
Great Northern. Union Pacific. South
ern Pacific and St. Taul. The output
of stock was so large that no bond
transactions were recorded In the
first thirty minutes. -

CHICAGO GRAIN
Chicago. July 29. Brakes were
clamped down hard today on the
wheat market as a result of commis
eion houses demanding almost prohi
bitive margins on all trades. The
restriction put the bulk of trade into
the hands of dealers inclined tn con
servative views and there was a de
cided reaction from yesterday's vio
lent advance. The opening, which
was 7-8 to 4 3-8c down, was follow
ed by, numerous rallies, but not of a
lasting sort.
Corn showed some firmness at the
outset but soon followed wheat down
grade. After opening l-8c off to l-2c
up, the market dropped to about a
cent under last night, and displayed
but little power to recover.
OatB developed comparative
strength at first but the collapse of
wheat checked buying The result
was a setback, though not so pro
nounced as In corn
Weakness seized provisions when
grain failed to advance Moderate up
turns were quickly more than wiped
out
Nervousness was apparent through
out the session, though greatly mln!
mlzed by the absence of any failures
The wheat close was weak, ? 5 8 to
4 3-8c down as compared with last
night
Widespread dry, hot weather threat
enlng serious damage to the domes
vie corn crop tended later to cause '
good deal of firmness The cIos wa:

How shocked we are!
Not over one thing, but on account
of man 'hings. The anarchies of the
suffragettes in England mav be in

lunc; excited our remark. Our press
has from time to time bristled with JH
editorials condemning the suffragettes ' IW
for their wanton destruction of prop- 1
erty and the annoyances to which they I
have put many of the public men of t I
England They violate Ion?-estah- VB
lished customs; they persist in forcing H
their grievances and appeals on public J
men. on members of Parliament and H
the heads of departments of the Epa , jfl
lish government. They break windows !H
and even apply dynamite on occasion. 9
All of which shocks us much.
Then. too. the outrages in Mexico
I excite our wonder. We are astnnished 9
I at the unsettled conditions of that
country, ai me reign of lawlessness j
there; at the murders committed, at I I
the contests and wars of factions and L m
all the horrors that the dispatches JM
bring to the public from day to day

At Butte a disgruntled wing of the jf J
