Experienced brokers claim that they see nothing extraordinary in the rush, and they maintain also that it cannot last very long. At present the farmers deliver little or nothing. The spring wheat Is not. yet harvested, and the supply of winter wheat is exceedingly small.

It Is an open question on the boards whether .Tim Keene, H. I'. Hutchinson, 1\ I). Armour or any or all of them are. responsible tor the big ilurry. Many of the old-time brokers incline to credit iveeue with the manipulation of "the market as seeking revenge for thirteen years ago, when he collapsed by his big Chicago ileal after having driven the price up to fcl.iJO. The feeling is general that if the New York speculators are behind the present rush they are very strongly bucked up by capital, und this feeling caused the shorts to cover up on their deals.

Ni:w YOIIK, Aug. IT.—On sales of 11,5011,000 bushels In option, wheat ju ices in the short Saturday market of only one hour and a half rushed up over five points at the produce exchange. The bulls were In full control. Cables reported the foreign market booming on news of the American rise. At noon, when the market closed, wheat for September delivery was selling at Sl.bi.it,, after a day of extraordinary nervousness There was virtually no rye to be bought ut any price. The wheat market opened with shorts panic-stricken. They rushed and climbed, getting in out of the wet at advance from the close of Friday night. It was a short panic started by disappointing cables.

There Was a good deal of outside buying on the rise. The foreign markets were strong and '2d higher at Liverpool anil Oil higher at London. Some ruin was reported, but with all tho foreign news foreign houses wcril

Succeeding tin fluctuations •ilready jrivcn there was a decline to SI.O.V^: and the close was si.or..

It would have been an tutcitinir day for speculators in frrain if even wheat had remained stationary Corn was only of secondary interest because as a rule the crowd trading in it is smaller than that In wheat. The ftuealtons .jve re frequent and of sufcient severity to be called sensational and, as in wheat the trend of prices was strongly upw ard. September, which at one period of the session sold as low as 59%c, only reached its iiinnacle when it touched ."•jc and it stood at (3}£e at the close of the session, or 2^a above the point it stopped at Friday. The advance was due for the most part to the excitement in the wheat market, and that was taken advantage of by those who are working the bull side of the deal. Oats hardly kept pace with other cereals, the nut gain amounting to only j£vi}£o. liye jumped Sc, closlny lirm at 51.01 for September. This was the top price for the day, H1c bcinir the opening and low. Trailing was active and there was considerable lluctiiation between the extremes.

Conservative traders pronounce the character of Friday's and Saturday's market a stampede. The shorts ot badly scared after the experience of Ed l'urdrldjre, who is said to have dropped nearly Si,ooo,000 on the bear side. At the same time there were unusually heavy buying orders from foreign countries. anil every short trader rushed to Cover at sacrifices ranging all the way from 15 cents to '20 cents a bushel. The sacrifice had to be made, anil it was bravely uict and manfully stood, because there was not even a rumor of the collapse of any firm.

KxportH. Nicw YOUK, Aug. 17. I'arm profits will be SI.000,000,000 more this year in the United States than they have been during the recent years of depression. At least this Is the estimate put forward by the American Agriculturist in its annual review of the harvests. to be published in the forthcoming September issue of that magazine. On the basis of present prospects this authority estimates the corn crop of 1MH at '2.ourt,(100.000 bushels: wneat, 500,000.000, and oats (V22,Otili,000 bushels. This makes the total prospective crop of corn, wheat and oats '1,12*2,000,000 bushels, or '2S.S per cent greater than last year, and 11.7 percent, over the uveruge ol the preceding eleven years. QTlie American Agriculturist believes that unless unexpected influences wholly change the current of events the value of corn 011 the tarm will average in December fully 50 cents a bushel wheat. PI per bushel and oats at least 40 eent.s. On this basis the value of the corn crop to the farmers will he SI,000,000,001) wheat, $51)0,000,000, and oats, S'250,000,000, or 11 total of 1,750,000.0011. This is S|5II,000,000 more than the value of these crops in 1M)0, ar.il fi :5,000,000 more than the value of the average of these crops irom ISMI to lS'.io Inclusive- Cotton and rice will command better prices than lust season. (attic are. worth one-third more than eighteen months ago, with ther live stock in proportion. Tobacco is advancing heavily for cigar leaf (contracts being made for the crop in the held at an advance of 15 to 50 per cent, over last year). Hops are lirm at good prices. Winter fruit will command large values, and all vegetables are yielding fairly, with every indication of a remunerative market. The export outlook was never better Immensely InCreased sums will be sent to the Fnited States for our produce. The Agriculturist says there will be no return of "war" prices, but the money' received above expenses will go further and enable the fanner to get more value out of his profits than at any previous period.

Four Doiioi la., Aug. 17.—The fwmers of northwestern Iowa are besieged by an army of agents of eastern elevators, commission houses, etc., who wish to contract for all thrashed and unthrashed crops for September und October dclivei^'. Lower prices than \hose of last year are oll'ered 011 the strength of the general bountiful harvest Many of the farmers have thus sold their crops in advance, but the majority have heard of the shortage in European countries and will hold their grain for higher prices. It is thought that the bulk of the crops in this vicinity will not be marketed until 11 month later than usual tills year.

IH VASTATION IN INDIANA. Coi.t'm 1 rs. Ind., Aug. 17.—A terrible mil and elect rieal storm swept over this county about :i o'clock Saturday morning. J'here was one continued Hash of lightning. At F.lizabethtown, this county, the elements assumed the shape of a cyclone, and the black clouds hung appiirantlv near the ground, and whirled and twisted In a fearful manner. There were dazzling Hashes of lightning and loud and Instant report* from the electrical bolts, two of which struck till' frame residence of Horace Trent and burned It to the ground. The entire upper story of the fine brick schoolhouse was torn away anil the building rendered of little value. The brick residence of Charles Slsco had one end and one side blown into the street. His wife, hearing the storm, had just stepped Into a flame addition when the crash came, and escaped uninjured. The 10-year-old son, Ezra. Was asleep lu a lied near the wall that gave way, and was burled some ,1 feet in tile debris and was fatally hurt about the head und breast. The father was also hurt, but not fatally. From the Sisco dwelling a good-sized mirror was curried some distance, and when found was not damaged. I he stables of Mrs. Carter und •lames Itiirns were blown down and two horses 111 the former's barn were killed. The large grain elevator belonging to Ed Springer, the baru of Daniel liunis. 1!. C'. Newsom's llour-Ing-mili and the Christian church building were badlv damaged, and 11 large number of fruit und forest trees were completely torn to pieces. A horse belonging to Ed Springer and mule owned by Daniel Horns were killed by lightning. The damage done by the cyclone in the town cannot be estimated. Some three hours later a very angry eloud appeared in the southwest und moved oust very rapidly, with continual flashes of lights ning and a continued roar of thunder.

When first seen by parties in this eity it was very low and rolling eastward, but gradually rose before reaching here. 111 tlie center of this city there wasn't enough wind to lift one's hat ofl, while some shade and fruit trees were badly damaged in both the extreme northern and southern parts of the city. Iu East Columbus the house of Charles MeCalla was struck by lightning and Mr. MeCalla was so badly shocked as to paralyze his left side. About .'100 yards north of the MeCalla residence a cow belonging to George Monroe was struck by an electric bolt and Instantly killed. A young man by the name of Carson, who was sitting in a chair in the door of Ills father's residence, was so badly shocked that he became insensible, and his physician thinks his nervous system lias been shattered and his mind injured.

VANDAI.IA. 111., Aug. 17.—In I'ope township during the progress of storm a nephew of State Senutor Farmer, of this eity, together with 11 team of horses that he was driving, took shelter under a tree, when bolt of lightning descended, killing the young man and both horses.

HASTINGS, Neb., Aug. 17.—During the heavy wind and rainstorm here the Vulcanite roofing factory on Lex-ington-avenue, together with the large tower, was leveled to the ground. The loss on the building and material will reach S7.000. Cellars In one business block were flooded, damaging merchandise to the extent of J?5,000 or -1) 1)00.

DKNVI.H, Col., Aug. 17. —Electricity flashed around Denver Sunduy night, und as 11 result John Cunning is dead and Dan Fitzpatriek. Dun Edwards, Mike Fennells und John Tuck ure badly injured. The men were ull cmployed ut Hun's brleitynrd, just outside the elOy limits. When the storm was at, its height and the sky seemed almost a sheet of blinding lig-lit the men crawled into a brick kiln for shelter from the rain. Immediately afterwards there was a roar that culminated in a peal, which shook every window in the eity. Then came a lightning Hash so intense as to be blue, and (.'tinning foil forward dead without a word. Fitzpatriek, Edwards and Fennels were all struck on tho feet, but Fitzpatriek is tho only man seriously hurt. Tuck was half a mile away and was knocked heels over head. All the electric roads stopped running for some hours. An extraordinary displaj- was seen among the telegraph wires. Heavy rains and washouts occurred in the canyons west of ttiis city and railroad tracks ure duuiuged. The sudden rise in the Fountain creek above Mn.nlton Saturday night proves to have been extruordlnary. At narrow gorges in the Ute pass the wagon road, '20 feet above the ordinary level of the stveuni. was washed out.

KKAUNKY, Neb., Aug. 17.—About 200 feet of the cotton-mill wall was biown down by 11 cyclone Saturday night. It is estimated that the damage will amount to S:i0,000. 1'nui.rs CITY, Neb., Aug. 17.—A terrific storm visited this section about 8 o'clock Saturday night and busted for several hours. The rain fell In torrents, Hooding the streets with afoot of water. The wind blew down several houses, among which was tine meat market and a barn. The hailstones, which were about 5 inches in diameter, killed several hogs and other small animals. The prospcet for acorn crop is ruined.
