The Joint meeting of the friends and op
ponents of the motor company , arranged to
take place before the council last evening ,
was largely attended. With ono exception
lone of the speakers opposed the granting
3f the fifty-year extension , but all united In
demand for a material reduction or a
straight 5-cent fare between the two cities ,
fills demand was backed up by a most
'ormldablo petition , containing the names
f 135 retail dealers of Council Bluffs , The
> rebentation of the petition and the earnest
irgumonls In support ot It created aluicst
ircusatlon.
W. H. M. Pusey was the flrst speaker , and
vent over substantially the same grounds
overed by him In a previous oration to
.he council.
Mr. Sims was the first to advocate the
i-cent faro over the entire line and made a
itrong argument In support of what ho de-
ilored was the popular demand In thla re-
ipect. If ho could not get a flat rate of 5
eiitB he wanted the company to bo obligated
o U uo a commutation ticket for $1 , good
or twenty rides and good for a. year.
Leonard Everett followed with an earnest
ippeal In support of the reduced fare and
resented the big petition from the retail
Merchants , which ho said was the most
ffectual answer to the protest that a 5-cent
'are would kill the retail merchants and
uln the town by sending all of the retail
jUElnc&i acroEa the river.
T. J. Evans Bald he had circulated the
petition for ono day among the retail mer-
hantu and found only thice who refused
o sign It.
Spuicer Smith made the strongest argu-
ncnt of the evening in support of the 5-cent
rare , He was armed with the statUtlts
showing the cost of the road and its equip
ment and its earnings for the first fouiteen
nonths. The net earnings for this period
vero JS0.7DO. The original ( sale of bonds and
the $54,000 given the company by the cit
izens ) of this city approximated $735,000 ,
ind the ccst of building was a sum that
left only a balance to be put up by the
itockholders of $36,000 , which represented
ihelr entire Interest , bo declared , in the
road.

Ten minutes after the opening wheat wan

The wildest excitement was lei the coaff-c
grain. Corn was up marly 3 cents a bushel

Interest in each. Iloth Pits were Jnnimct

states. Prices went oft a cent from the top
1 Lynn Was a heavy seller of Scptcmbci
wheat. Ills selling stopped the advance
after the opening. A good deal of yester

fact that the bull crowd had calls on 2.000-
000 bushels of September wheat , which , a

Atiiiiniv London Criiln Specula torn.
LONDON' , Aug. 21. The fact that the price
of wheat baa reached $1 a bushel in the
Unltc < l Statea has produced considerable ex
citement among grain speculators and others
in London. The secretary of the Baltic bald
"Of course we have been caught largely
short. The rise In the price of wheat , with
the uncertainties of the future , make a some
what h > sterlcal market. The rise of 0 pence
in the price of 'barley ' , for example , today-
was due to no assignable cause. There 's '
no speculation here , as it Is known In Wall
street , though there Is some speculation at
Liverpool. "
The secretary of the Corn exchange ic-
marked : "There Is no speculation hero as
such transactions are generally known.
There has been a disposition on the part of
the outside public 16 bear the market , but
; ho brokers hafro dissuaded their clients
! rom eo doing. The rise In > prices yesterday
norning and today wps not due so much to
'dollar wheat" an to , the. buying by France ,
where the harvestings are proving disap
pointing. Our millers , too , are short. Our
) i-okers have not made much , as they held
10 stocks ; but It Is iieedl&B to say the ri&c
of half a crown In the price of wheat yes-
crday makes th'e liveliest times on Mark
Lane. The Americans have apparently got
It all their own , way. '
The Westminister Gazette , /referring to
the rise In the 'price of wheat , says : "It
Is an unmerited stroke of good luck for
President McKinley's government , which
ought to have been overtaken by swift
calamity for shamelessly paying election
debts to the trusts by the passage of the
Dingley bill. " At the same time , the
Gazette finds comfort in the allegation that
'tho Bryanltcs are made 10 look foolish , "
and adds : "The western farmers will eeo f (
at once that high prices arc compatible
with a gold standard , and the destruction of T
Bryan and his panacea Is bound to follow.
But It President McKlnley'e supporters are ,
wlso they will not for a minute imagine that :
when they dispose of the silver craze they
will dispose of the revolt against the Ameri
can capitalists , who have never used their
power so ruthlessly as since the last presi
dential election , "
DENOUNCES "EXTORTIONS. "
The Westminister Gazette then proceeds
to denounce the "extortions" of the new
United States tariff , which , it adds , "Is one
of the worst and mcst fruitless sources of
corruption ot public men and public
servants. " In conclusion , the Gazette sajs :
"The degree of success which has attended
Bryan shows that the Americans are becom
ing alive to the rottenness of something and
next time the campaign will bo directed less
to the gold standard than to the standard of
public life. "
The same crowd has cells good for tonight

ar $1.25 a bushel In the New York market
'oday's opening was ono of the most exclt
ig of the entire week. Members and othcrr
'ho had not been seen In downtown circles
i years flocked to the floor and gallery to
: atch the sensational developments In
rtieat. At the first sound of the gong Sep-
2mber swept up to $1.02 , selling also down
3 $1.01'/i at the came Instant In other parts
f the pit. The crowd of buyers fought vlg-
rously among themselves to get possession
f the few lots offering and quickly bit the
rico up to $1.03'by rapid strides of half
cent or more at a clip.
The bears were nowhere. It was a fe-ver-
ili clamor for wheat from all sources.
Jleventh hour bulls , those who never come
i to buy until prices have already had a
Ig advance , were particularly prominent In
lie early dealings. December opened from
1 to $1.00 % and went flying after September ,
inpcllcd by mad rushes to buy and general
ull excitement. It soon reached % cent

It was a feverish day , giving promise ol
nnsational markets In the future. While
liero were several points in the news which
nder ordinary circumstances might have
Iven the bears a foothold , they had no In
ucneo In view of the overpowering bull
jntlmcnt among traders. Cables from Llv-
rpool came ' ,4-cent to % higher than last
Ight , but foreign liout-fH sold as much as
icy bought. There were no Important
ansactlons and the spring wheat outlook
as made brighter by sunshine and warm
eather. Cash wheat , No. 1 northern
