Violent and No Uni

CHICAGO , April 19. The war news sent
the wheat market skyward today. May wheat
sold as high as 73 cents a bushel at the
opening ot trading on 'change , on advance
of 4U cents over the closing figures ot Satur
day. Fluctuations were violent , trading at
the start being all the way from 77 to 78
cents at the flame tlmo In different parts of
the pit. Most of the Initial sales were at
77 to 77H cents , but for near futures pur
chases were being recorded at the top figures
named. The market steadied for a moment
or two at 77V4 cents. At this point there
was a rapid reaction and the market swung
suddenly downward 2 cents a bushel to 75Vi
cents , with scarcely a single stop. Au
equally quick rally followed , prices dashing
up to 7776 cents , nearly 2 cents' advance In
two minutes. Five minutes afterward the
market was down again almost 1 cent and
at 10 n. in. , half an hour after the opening ,
was selling at 70 % cents for May. Uy 10:15 :
a. m. the price was shooting the chutes again
and had touched 75 % cents , but by 10SO :
was comparatively steady around 70U cents.
When the exchange opened It was re
garded as n certainty that the market would
jump oil account of the war news and at
the tap of the bell the wheat pit became a
sea of shouting , struggling speculators.
There was no foreign market , owing to the
holidays abroad , but they were not needed ,
everything being lost sight of in the gen
eral Interest In tun struggle now considered
fairly on between Turkey and Greece. For
tunately , perhaps , for many commission
men , there was more wheat offered than
anticipated. In the flood of realizing which
broke the advance so sharply during the
first half hour John Cudahy took a leading
part. The pit was a perfect Babylon.
Speculators fairly climbed over themselves
In their eagerness to cover or dispose of
wheat already showing a heavy profit and
the packed fiallcrles were treated to a scene
of excitement seldom witnessed.
Longs were heavy sellers all morning , led
by John Cudahy and W. U. Linn. There is
no question that the unexpected amount of
wheat put upon the market pi evented what
might have been one ot the biggest advances
In one day In tha history of the Board ot
Trade , tor the eagerness to buy both by
shorts and outsiders amounted at times to a
veritable stampede. The willingness of longs
to let got of their holdings , however , carrli-d
May down to 74 % cents , the lowest point
reached during the morning , and within H
cent ot Saturday's close. But the market
seemed almost Irrepressible and within on
hour It bad soared up to 75 % cents , shortly
after noon. During a lull this advance was
lost and at 1 p. m. , fifteen minutes before
the close , the current quotation for May was
1 cent lower at 74 % cents.
Just before 11 o'clock there was another
whirl of excitement. For some little tlmo
the market had shown , symptoms of weak
ness. All at once the bottom seemed to fall
out and prices pitched headlong off to 74 % ,
a fall of 3 % cents , as compared with top
figures at tha opening. A whlpsaw of halr-
ralslni ? rapidity followed , a full cent advance
to 75 % , and a decline to 74 % , succeeding
each other In a way that was bewildering
oven to the oldest veterans In the pit.
In the last quarter of an hour ot the
day's trading the market seemed to stag
nate and the May option did not get more
than % of a cent away either side of 75
cents , which was the closing price.
The last sales showed only a net gain of
1V1' cents over Saturday's closing figures.
Tha market was peculiar In that no ono
seemed to krow where all the Ions wheat
went. Tremendous amounts of it were
thrown over , but where It went to is ap
parently a mystery. John Cudahy and W.
R. Linn were undoubtedly big winners. Both
were heavy holders ot wheat bought before
the present advance began and both closed
out .it or near the top of the bulge. No
failures were reported , a rather remarkable
fact , considering that the market showed an
advance of 11 cents since last Monday. The
"confiding public" as n rule got nothing but
experience out of the skyrocketing tac
tics of the market. Of the non-profesalonal
element , which played an Important part 111
the day's trading , a very largo proportion
bought at the opening Jump and saw their
Investments melt away like frost before a
summer's sun. Closing prices In the other
markets showed advances of % cent In May
corn and May oats. Provisions closed prac
tically where they wound up Saturday , If
anything a trifle weaker.
NEW YORK. April 19. The breaking out
of the war In southern Europe put the wheat
market In a state of feverish excitement this
morning. Long before the opening crowds
of brokers were on hand discussing the situ
ation. The curb price for May wheat was
82 % cents , an advance ot 3 cents over Satur
day's closing figures. As the market opened
the scene In tha exchange became ono of
wild excitement. Amid the tremondouo
tumult May wheat started oft at S'2Vt cents ,
Jumped to 8614 cents , reacted a llttlo and
then whirled up to 8C % cents , all within the
first five minutes , and after that the market
pursued an Irregular and erratic course under
continued great excitement.
11:30 : a. m. : Wheat was lifted 4 % cents a
bushel from Saturday's curb close. Exclte-
mi nt at first was Intense. Room shorts ) , for
eign houses and Investors were all clamoring
for wheat , and prices advanced steadily to
83 % cents for May. This figure , however ,
proved tempting to the majority of the longs ,
and a selling movement ensued that almost
equaled the excitement attending the opening
rise. Prices dropped ' ,10 % or a cent between
tales , and finally landed at 80 % cents for
May , or thres cents from the top. At the
beat point this morning prices were 12 %
centa.nbovo the low figure touched April 4 ,
Flour also felt the bull craze , and holders
advanced prices 50 cents a barrel , shutting
off the demand to a great extent. At 1.30
o'clock the market was nervous ut 81 % cents
for May.
ST. LOUIS , April 19. There was an ad
vance today at the opening of 2 %
cents over Saturday's close In July
wheat , which was excited , The first
prlco quoted was 80 % cents , but almost
at the game time 81 cents was paid ,
A reaction followed and the price declined
to SO'4 cents , at which It was quoted for some
time , the market becoming quiet. The ad
vance was caused by shorts rushing to cover
and the exciting war news from the east.
As the shorts had gotten out pretty well al
ready , the buying did not long continue and
the market cased off , The market has been
bullish on winter wheat prospects , which
shows no Improvement and has been well
held up anyway.
The market became weaker and sold down
to 78 % cents for July , but before the close
It advanced and the final quotation was
79 % cents asked. No , 2 red cash , on track ,
sold up to $1.0001.02 % .

Do Mvnyon's Remedies cure ? If they
do they should be In every house. It they do
not , they should bo publicly condemned and
their sale prohibited by law.
Certainly every opportunity has been
afforded the public to test his remedies.
Thousands of vials have been given away
In all the leading American cities. News
papers have made the most searching In
vestigations , and thousands of people have
testified that they have becm cured.
Prif. Munyon docs not claim that his
remedies will cure In every case , but Is
prepared to prove that they do euro over 90
per cent of all curable rases when the
remedies are taken according to direction .
