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.

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: steady at the same as last night to 3-8c off Lead.
