SENSATIONAL ADVANCES B ARK WHEAT OPENING

Chicago, Aug. 9. Amid scenes of tremendous excitement September wheat opened on the Board of Trade at $1.40. as compared with the closing price of 1.33 yesterday. The remarkable advance wag attributed to the bullish government reports issued yesterday. Corn also scored a sensational advance, the September future opening at 85, against a close yesterday , of 834- December wheat made 'an even greater gain, starting off at 1.45 to 1.43 after closing yesterday at 1.37. Oats responded to the frantic trading in other pits and September opened at 4S to 44, after yesterday's close of 43. ' - - Trading was more exciting than it has been for a long time, despite the fact that there has been recent sharp advances which in a little more than a month have carried wheat from 1:06 to 1:40. Reports from the northwest indicate that damage to growing crops had not stopped. Vinnepeg cash was reported ten cents higher and opening cables from Liverpool made high prices. Provisions responded to the bullish sentiment of the market and were higher. GRAIN TOLEDO GRAIN TOLEDO. Aug. 9. Wheat Cash, 151 ; Sept., 152; Dec. 163. Cloverpeed Cash, $10.80; October, $10.90.

ana loreian With a sensational advance by September wheat to $1.44 just before the close on the Board of Trade today, the market, after the wildest day in years, closed only a fraction off from the highest point of the day an advance of 11 cents over yesterday. : The advance late today was caused by heavy buying by Armour and other commission houses. The advance in the wheat market was. from 10 to 11 cents. The market on the whole was the most sensational affair. Had it not been for the speculators with profits selling freely in order to secure profits, there is no telling where the advance . would have been carried, as the demand was most pressing. The cash trade in wheat was larger, with 80,000 bushels, mainly hard winter being taken here by millers. There was considerable business at the sea board on export account in both' American and Canadian wheat, but the amount was not made public. Cash sales corn here were 65,000 bushels and oats, 125,000 bushels. Corn closed 1 to 2 cents higher and oats were up to 1. Hog products showed no great change and were manily higher.

The ad ministration has taken, the .first step in its campaign to offset the effect of the British boycott on American trade and at the same time furnish a potent argument to get the Wilson-' McAdoo ship purchase bill through the senate., Chairman Wehb,' of the house judiciary committee, today began work on the favorable report to be made on the foreign selling agencies bill. This measure exempts from, the criminal clause of the anti-trust laws all combinations of merchants or individuals organizing foreign selling agencies. Instead, such agencies are legalized under the jurisdiction of the federal trade commission. Will Afford Weapon It is argued that such combinations which can represent any one or make trade lines, will furnish a potent weapon where British or any other foreign competition, can te met on its own ground and price cutting dealt with in a way which has already made possible some of the big trade combinations now doing business. It is authoritatively stated that this legislation will be forced through congress before adjournment and would be the only legislation of a retaliatory nature provided at this session. To all demands for more specific action against' the entente boycott, or against the trade agreement reached jn Paris by the entente allies and their sympathizers, the administration position will be officals say, that no further legislation can be attempted until all the facts are known. Push Purchase Bill However, the administration followers will use the boycott as the most potent of their arguments for the passage of the administration fifty million dollar ship purchase bill. The bill will be called up in tne senate toaay. 11 lepuuiiuun ujjpuamuii uut uao

position and passage will be delayed as much as possible. The administration leaders will argue that the adoption of the boycott and blacklist by Great Britain, its endorsement by France and almost certain endorsement by all other of the entente allies makes it imperative that this country provide vessels to carry American products to any quarter of the world. It will be argued that there is no immediate prospect of the ending of the war, and that even if it should end after this summer's campaign, American ships will be needed to compete with the oppressive trade methods which the allies are expected to adopt to regain their places in the commercial sun. GIRL ADMITS TEARING SKI FROM LOVER Elizabeth Culbertson, 21, a pretty Centerville girl, pleaded guilty in city court late yesterday afternoon to a charge of public intoxication and was fined ?5 and costs. Her arrest by Marshal George Moore in Centerville gave that village more thrills than a wild west show. It followed an attack she made upon j Bob Mendenhall of Richmond, ner sweetheart, in the course of which she tore off his shirt. Mendenhall entered a plea of not guilty to a charge of association and will be given a hearing tomorrow morning. The two have been in trouble before. It is said Mendenhall brought a pint of whiskey with him when he went to visit Elizabeth. The row occurred on a street. Moore and two deputies had to drag Elizabeth to the town lockup. She threw one of the deputies twice. Villagers who followed the frenzied young woman into the lockup were routed with a pail of water she seized. The girl lost most of her clothing in her struggle with the officers and Moore had to take her to her room for a fresh supply. "I didn't give her no chance to get away but I kept my back turned air the time," the marshal announced at police headquarters yesterday. CURTIS TO LECTURE TO PREBLE TEACHERS EATON, O., Aug. 9.

Never before in the history of the United States has a premier faced such a kaliedoscopic collection of international problems and perils as will greet President Wilson's chief diplomatic, adviser at the close of his summer vacation. Only onc6 since he left for a rest in Upper New York a month ago has Mr. Lansing been actively engaged in any of these problems. That was a short time ago when he went to New York to sign the treaty with Denmark for the acquisition of the Danish possessions in the West Indies. The most pressing and immediate of the problems facing the premier is the Mexican situation. It has reached the stage where a false, step will mean the failure of the long diploi matic process which now seemingly has brought the two nations to the threshold of a peaceful settlement not only of the immediate differences between them, but of the sore spots which have existed for three years and a half.
