GENERAL STAMPEDE IS ATTRIBUTED 10 DROUTH AND RUST Strong European Demand Also Is Factor in Wild Rush to Buy Futures JULY TAKES 8-CENT LEAP Hoppers Worst Threat in This Area Says Expert at Mandan Station (By the Associated Press) In excited trading, rarely equalee except in war time, wheat prices shot upward at Chicago Thursday as much as eight cents a bushel. A general stampede to purchase wheat futures developed in the final minutes of trading, with traders frantically bidding higher and higher prices, in some cases a cent or more & bushel between transactions. Authoritative estimates were cur- Tent that as much as 96,000,000 bush- els of wheat would be required this season from the United States to meet European needs. It was pointed out that the United States apparently would be called upon to make good any inability of Canada to meet the probable demand for supplies from that country. Rust Causes Alarm Reports of further serious losses to domestic wheat as a result of black rust, notably in Illinois, greatly dis- turbed traders and also did indica- tions that Canadian drouth damage to wheat would be much increased on account renewed hot dry weather. Furthermore, North Dakota advices indicated that black rust in domestic spring wheat is now far ahead of what had been expected and the crop itself is later than usual. Predictions were that as a result spring wheat in parts of North Dakota cannot escapes 25 per cent damage and it may be much worse. Dealings at the heights of the flur- ry centered in July wheat, which shot up to the extreme eight-cent allow- able limit, and reached $1.27 2 bushel, with the close % cent under the top. "Hoppers Worst Threat Grasshoppers are s worse threat crop since spores now have appeared on all varities of wheat.

Never before at this season, he said, has he seen hoppers so big or so many of them. Unless they are controlled, he said, the result will be disastrous. Hopper damage, already added to that done by cutworms earlier in the year will make this a disastrous year from the standpoint of insect dam- age, he said. MINNEAPOLIS FUTURES TURN SHARPLY UPWARD Minneapolis, July 1—()—Prices of wheat for future delivery jumped the one-day limit of 5 cents a bushel for September and December futures Thursday while July. wheat rocketed 6% cents, to near the 8-cent peg fixed for current-month futures. New reports of rust damage to win- ter wheat and drouth damage in Can- meet combined with volume buying strong export prices to bring on the bulge, which raised wheat to about 20 cents over the mid-June figures.
