Xoar* ly all tin- trading dune was that which lial to In* dojK* to even up rdd deals Wheat for Dernuher didiverv was the mo*t variable factor in the cxeitinent. hut every thin^ else was unsettled by the crazy action of this option.

December wheat, which closed Saturday at opened yesterday at and above. Uapid and heavy Imyinjf by the. shorts sent it up to Si. U'j to Si. inside of tiitoen minutes after the opening1, with a rumored sale hi^h as $1.15. When at these tiyurcs the witch of Wall street herself could not. have predicted what was coming next What did come was nothiny less than a landslide Down the price went, by jumps of from a half cent to a cent until it reached ^!.U44.

The scene on the lloor at the time of the drop was one of the wildest con fusion. The same brokers who had labored so hard to buy at from Sl.O'J to £l for their short customers were now making frantic- efforts to sell before tlit.* bottom dropped out of the mar* Icct altogether. The wheat pit was a suryin^ mass of excited men. Every voice was exerted to its highest pitch hatlcss, coatle.ss men almost jumped over each other to ^et eloscr to their customers messengers rushed from floor to ollice and from otlice to lloor, conveying the astonishing news and brinfrinjr back instructions: visitors in the gallery asked each other what had broken loose, and those of theiu who were uninitiated thought a riot had broken out and that men below them were in danger of their lives.

Meanwhile a busy scene was being enacted outside. Margin clerks in every otiice were hastily calling every merchant with whom they dealt, for bigger margins, and cashiers were busily engaged in signing the required securities. As the market continued to drop the "longs" we:»* unmercifully called for margins, and very available collateral was transferred to the hank* by the weaker lirms to satisfy the importunate demand for securities. Everybody was required to give a liberal margin, regardless of wealth and relation to the market, as there was no telling what would be the next turn of the market.

At V2 o'clock prices rallied slightly, and reached SLOT when the bulletin was posted showing an increase in Utc visible supply of wheat of l,))00,0()(j bushels since the same lime last week. This increase was larger than was expected and sent prices dawn, down, a quarter of a cent at a time till they reached and & 10!ll$. This depression proved to be something more than temporary, as December wheat rein:.incd at this figure, with occasional small rallies, and closed atSUKl.

Early in the day St. Louis wired Unit commission houses there had eoncludcd to do no more new business until the present excitement had abated. While there was no concerted movement of that kind here, many strong houses advised their customers to hold back orders until there was less unreasonableness in the market.

Corn felt the ciVcct of the excitement in wheat. September corn closed Saturday at opened Monday at fill to t»7. Hew up to when wheat went up, and dropped back to (i:i when whent took its headlong plunge. Pork and oats were alo atfeeted by the erratic ups and downs of wheat, but In a less alarming degree. Kye made a sharp advance and the interest was u» intense if not as vociferous as that in the wheat pit. September opened at. $1.00. went, to $1.10 and ?1.11 ami then fell back, closing at $1.02. All the markets closed weak and nearly at the bottom and left operators at a loss for what to expect, to-day. Thus far no firm, as far as can be learned, has been forced to the wall, but there is no telling what a continuance of the unusual fluctuations of the. hist few days may bring forth.

It is easier to ask than to correctly .answer the question as to who iias the money in this big advance of the last ten 'lays, but the opinion generally hcl»l is that the profits on the abnormal advances have for the most part gone to the east and to the foreigners, with the western operators the under dogs in the fight. With the brilliant outlook I for the growing and maturing crows for wicks and weeks past traders In the west have been possessed

with a bearish inclination. Helieving that with the prospect of one of the biggest yields on record, and that perhaps the reports of serious damage to European crops had been greatly cxI aggerated, they concluded that nothing could prevent prices reaching' a figure away below UO cents. Showing their faith by their works they sold large lines in the nineties, believing tiiat subsequently they would be enabled to buy it in at figures much below those and thus secure a large protit. Not only did the professional speculators trade in this manner, selling large lines to foreign buyers, but what is familiarly known as "the country" went short all the way from 0,000 bushels up. They could not anticipate the actions of foreign markets, however, and in spite of the fact that the. big receipts of new* winter wheat were quickly swallowed up by purchasers for homo uud export ucrf

This: was about 1.."00,000 bu'.-hels. more wheat tnan the entire supply of the country Nothing lik-e this has been -ecu on the product' exchange for twenty years

Not since the days of the iVaneoI'rusMan war. when the gamblers in grain went mad, have there been such excited markets, such wild and furiou.* speculation, and S\ieh scenes of pandemonium as have characterized the tradiny on the produce exchange Saturday and Monday. ,, When the sound of the gong gave the waiting brokers permission to begin trading the wild rush and excited bidding, the struggling, gesticulating mob and the hoarse shouts of the traders made, up a scene such as is seldom witnessed. Hut it was soon evident there wa-j a turn in the tide. The v, heat bulls had carried prices to such high figures that speculators thought it time' To close out. and take profits. Kor-live minute after the opening of the market the bulls had it all their own way. Then the decline began. It was not violent, but it was steady. The net result of the day, to sum up the" situation, was a drop of from 8 to :!,7^ cents a bushel, fn brief, the course of the wheat market, for the day for'thc active months was as follows:

A ugust opened at UIM highest point. Si. 14: closed, 81.1PSeptcmbcr—opcned, 1:W? 1.15: highest point, §1.15: closed, fl.Ilk. De-cember--opened, .£1.14Uii'i:IS highest point, Si. IS closed, Srl.Iii. May— opened. $1. l^' 0?l."il highest point. SK-1: dosed. Si.

August options sold for 77 cents and closed 7.V'£ cents. September deliveries opened at 70*•£ cents, reaching 74 cents, closing at 7-2 cents. October corn opened at 00^.( cents, went up to 71 cents and sold at the close of the,.day at 70 cents. These prices are about l1^ cents lower than .-Saturday's, last. One day's trading^ ?.

Aggregated-:-1,200.000

bushels. In Philadelphia wheat sold at its highest—SI. l^---just after the opening. At the close it had been driven, or rather it had dropped, down to $1.11, the asking price, with Si. 10 hid.

In Kerlin the grain market was in an excited condition.' The opening quotations were: August rye, 20H marks: September and October. 253 marks. August wheat was quoted at 254 marks, and September and October at 240. The grain market closed HatAugust rye closing prices were quoted at 257 mark September and October. 245. August wheat was quoted on the close at 240 marks: September and October. 241 marks 50 pfennig*-.

In Paris there Was an active demand in the grain market, especially for rye. which advanced 2 to francs per HH kilograms. Wheat and flour advances 1 franc.

In Vienna the grain market was firm Autumn rye advanced 50 kreu/.ers am. wheat advanced 70 krei^/ers.

IN ST. Louis.

ST. Louts, Aug. LS.--Many failures on

'change

were averted Monday

bv an ac et nent between brokers that the settling price for December wheat should be Si.00 per bushel, and the bulls could draw all margins deposited below Si-02 and the bears all above $1.10 and that no'trading should done on the exchange Monday or Tuesday except it was necessary to clos« trades. The agreement arrived at is all that saved at least 150 traders from being forced, to announce their failure.

The most intense.excitement rcigiu-c? when the bell rang for the opening of the market at the Merchants' exchange at 0::?0 a. m. It was understood that no trade would be allowed except fo the purpose of closing existing eontracts, but the bears bv'gan to bid. The price rose quickly to St.OR Then to Si.lor*.1.11. and then by quartercent bids It reached SI. 12. but the greedy bulls would not sell a bushel, and It looked as if the bears must bid still higher, but at that moment the telegraph announced that the Chicago and New .Y.yrk markets wen: breaking. The St Louis ticker broke back to SLlOlX under the heavy offerings of wheat by the bulls, when 5,000 bushels were sold, but the bears held back and the ticker m'adc a jump back to Sb05, when the bears covered a big line and then stood back waiting for the bulls to lower their price still further. The brokers stuck to their ugrcemput resolutely. One man had 10.000 bushels of wheat, which he wanted to sell at SI OS, but as it would not "ring" with an existing contract he could make no sab* and was forced to see the value of his wheal drop C*v cents in less than half an hour. December wheat, sold as low as ud on the regular board at $1.04.

CHINA WARNED.

She Mtml Make I tepa ration Minister* from Other NatimiM to thr V4e*thil ZC'.ncdom Threaten War.

SIIANCIIAI. Aug. 18.—In this eitv at present great excitement prevails at the increased and still increasing tension between the Chinese government aud the ministers of the foreign powers. Fiom all appearances the fanner are obstinate in their refusal tp redress the injury done to foreigners during the recent riots. Some people say that the government dare not take this step demanded In common justice to the powers for fear ot incurring a storm of popular disapproval in any case there Is no doubt as to the obstinacy of the refusal to right the wrongs inflicted upon the foreign residents of China.

On tin* other hand, there is no rcasou to doubt that If the Chinese authorities do not yield to the linn demands of the ministers of the powers concerted hostile action upon the part of the war vessels of l**e various nations represented in these waters is imminent. Too much damage has been done and too many outrages have been perpetrated upon the foreign residents of this country to permit of the representatives of the powers submitting any longer to be put off with vague statements which in the maiu actually mean that China cannot or will not redress the wrongs done to peaceful resident4" of foreign nationalities and that China does not admit that the latter have been outrageously treated in tludr persons or in their possessions l^y Chinese mobs o»*er which the authorities Aeem to have no control.

It is now known that the foreign ministers have been .mp.dlcd to inform the Chinese government that a joint naval demonstration of an effective uature, in hich I he French, American, llritish a id (i 'rman squadrons will take part, will h» ordered in the near future unless speedy reparation is made for the injuries, Outrages and abuses complained of by the ministers of the powers. Naturntly the foreign population of this city, being aware of the lirm stand takeo by the ministers and having knowledge of the ultimatum sent to the Chinese government, is In a state of considerable anxious expectation and will so remain until the reply of the Chinese government Is made knowu.

The excursionists were en route to this city to take part in the centenary fetes which arc now in progress. The train was flagged near Zollikofcn for the purpose of being placed upon a siding when the Paris train ran into the rear car The engine of the express cut into and almost demolished the guards' van at the rear of the excursion train, which was empty, and then crashed into the rearmost of the passenger cars, wrecking it and causing the loss of life. Assistance was scut from here The excursion train was partly composed of baggage-vans temporarily converted into passenger carriages The line was blocked by other excursion fcvains Ui advance, and another excursion was coupled to the Paris express. A curve in the line prevented the engineer of the express from seeing the danger ahead, but the passengers of the excursion train heard the express approaching and many jumped out, all of the occupants of the open goods waj^pns escaping in this way almost unhurt.
