The prices to-day were the highest recorde? alnoe. Wart boom of 1915. “ It was reported that James Patten, former wheat king, was among the big winners, and that the “Armour crowd" also won heavily, But most of the money was made by small in- vestors who had played a hunch and were holding wheat in piker lots, The brokera, some of whom took a chance and went short, were caught. A big Canadian firm which had sold wheat heavily was mentioned among the heavy losers. So much excitement ruled in the pit at the opening that transactions in many cases were 3 cents apart at the same instant, The initial range on December varied from $1.42 to $1.45, Jumps in the value of other options than December, although radical, were not quite so severe, Taken as a whole, the market opened 6 to 8 cents higher, and when relative steadiness was established showed 5% to 6% cents gain ws compared with yesterday's close, In later dealings the May delivery rose to the phenomenal price of $1.50 4 bushel, an extreme ascent of 81-4 over yesterday's final figures, After midday the fever to buy grew more intense, and the market soared to 10 cents a bushel above yes- terday's close, December wheat touch- ing $1.47 at times, The market ap- peared to be entirely bare of offer ings. An incentive for the late de mand was an estimate by a leadin authority that, owing to the increase of bla® rust, the Canadian crop this season would be only 200,000,000 bush els, a shortage of 136,000,000 bushels under last year's total, The pit was a bedlam ‘at the end, September closed at $1.441-2, a gain nf 107-8 cents; December at $1.48 3-8, an advance of 118-8, and May $1 a rise of au 1-4, In 1915 wheat at one 1 i bushel, PERONNE SET AFIRE BY FRENCH ARTILLERY Berlin Reports That Priceless Art Works Are Ruined and Whole City May Go, G MAN GREAT HEADQUAR- TERS (via Berlin, Tuesday, Aug. 4, and London, Aug. 9).—Since yester- day the famous old French city of Peronne has been under French artii- lery fire, resulting in a great con- flagration which threatens to wipe it out, Already tho fine collection of paint- ings of italian and Blemish masters has been destroyed by shells which lianded squarely in the City Hall, where the most valuable art objects from the museum had been housed for protection, In addition to the paintings, which were torn to shreds, the shells do- atroyed unreplaceable collections of mediaeval Germanie silver and seml- precious stone work, Celtic coins dat- ing from the time of the Roman in- vasion, and medallions, Houses in some strects have been reduced to ashes. apes Start of Fall Term Expected Queens and the Bronx Show N spin disease, 14 PAGES GORIZIA TAKEN WITH (0,000 AUSTRIANS; ITALIANS SWEEP ON TOWARD TRIESTE vOpe, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 9, 1916. |TWOLONG TERMERS ESCAPE IN AUTO.
