STAMPEDE IN OATS

Number of Shorts Caught in

Cnnac a Good Advance
. - in Wheat.
CHICAGO. July 18. There -was great excite
ment In grains today. In point of spectacular
display and phenomenal advances, oats July
In partloular held tho center of the stage. The
causr, of tho stampede was the simple situation
of a goodly number of shorts caught in a pret
ty tight trap. The unfortunates saw no other
way out than to climb out at a high point, and
In consequence fought to save themselves. The
rain was the cause of most of the trouble.
From points near this market where the grain
Is jellow. reports camo In that whole fields
were down and badly twisted. Receipts were
only S7 cars. 25 of contract grade. Of these
arrivals, only seven cars were new stuff, and
these seven showed no contract grades. There
was a bis trade in oats, notwithstanding the
fact that offerings were scarce. The opening
of business was wild. July (new) started Sc
h!g"r. at 55c and touched 564c before a re
action set In. September opened iyic up. at
SSgSSc. and easy touched 33Tc After the
first rush to coven there was a lull, and prices
el'ppcd back. Just before the close, however,
July (now) was given a severe turn, and closed
exalted anS strong. 5c up. at 57Uc Septem
ber closed strong, lc advanced, at 304c
Wheat had a rush of buying orders to push
prices' up at the opening, and a very strong
market ensued. Houses with Southwestern
connections were among the best buyers. July
was In special demand, and was bid up excited
ly until 78c was reached, a gain of 3e over
yesterday's close. Shorts were badly scared.
There Were several bearish Influences at work,
but little or no effect was felt from them. Sep
tember wheat opened c to iSc up, at
72$i72c. and sold at 72c Profit-taking on
the advance brought a reaction, but the close
was firm for September, with c gain, at 72V4
72c. July closed strong, 2ftc higher, at 77c,
The chief bull Ineentlves were the rain and the
remarkable shortage of contract-grade stuff In
the new receipts.
Corn, after an early spurt, lapsed into dull
ness, and fluctuated narrowly. Receipts of
contract grade were materially cut down to
day. Selling on the bulge brought a reaction,
and there was little unusual about the market
the rest of the day. July closed firm. &C up,
at 66c. September closed firm. He up, at 61Kc

PORTLAND MARKETS.
Grain. Flonr. Etc.
The wheat market was a shade better yester
day, but In the absence or any buying on ex
port account, quotations were largely nominal.
A lot of Walla Walla, amounting to something
less than 250 bushels, was sold at 63c, and
about the only selling that Is reported Is of
straggling lots of similarly Insignificant pro
portions. The mills, when In the market, are
forced to pay much higher prices to secure lots
of any consequence. Samples of new-crop
wheat and barley are becoming plentiful, and
most of them sliow an excellent grade. Freights
seem to hang stationary at about 2Ss, two
more ships being' chartered at that figure yes
terday. Wheat Nominal; Walla Walla, C465c: Val

In price was necessary in order to move them.

BOOM IN STOCKS STILL ON
LARGE . .SPECULATORS CONTINUE
THEIR- CAMPAIGN. :
Expect Good Crops to Cnnse General
Bnyins: and Thus Afford a Chance
for Llanidnjion.
NEW TORK. Jcfy 18. Today was 'another
animated day in the stock market, with ttie
aggregate sales over 1.000,000 shares. The
strength and variety of the market had no new
developments to account for them, but the large
capital which has embarked upon the project
of putting up prices and inviting an outside
following pursued Its operations with appar
ently unabated confidence. These operators are
apparently firm in the conviction that the pub
lic sentiment of the country has arrived at that
stage of confidence In the success of the year's
crop, the continued prosperity of all lines of
Industry and the sufficiency of the money re
sources of the country, that tho example of a
vigorous upward movement of slocks Is all
that Is needed to Induce them to come Into
tho market and buy stocks freely and boldly,
thus affording a medium for the liquidation of
tho holdings which tho capitalists are taking
on In the rise. jg
The leaders of today's market were Pennsyl
vania and affiliated railroads. Southern Rail
way was brought Into the movement In a way
to mako It appear tha closer relations than
those now existing might be in prospect be
tween the two properties. The apparent de
termination of tho coalmtners convention not
to declare for a general strike was given as a
reason for the aggressive buying of Pennsyl
vania and all tho seaboard roads and coal
carriers. It is no new thing in Wall street that, with
thp approaching dissolution of the voting trust,
as Is now in control of Reading, there Is a
large absorption of a stock with a view to con
trolling the board of directors. No authorita
tive Information on the subject was forthcom
ing today. The accompanying advance of New
Tork Central was held to signify an acquies
cence la the new control on the part of the
Vandcrbllt Interests.
The banks have apparently gained cash this
week to- the extent of over $4,000,000, of which
$1,622,000 was on Eubtreamry operation and
tho rest by direct receipts by express rom the
Interior, showing the temporary nature of last
week's unseasonable demand from the Interior.
New Yorkexcbange at Chicago rose to a pre
mium of 15c Tha grangers did not bhare fully
In the day's strength, but they were by no
means depressed. In SRlte of the unwelcome
rains In the crop regions and one or two un
favorable weekly reports of earnings.
The speculation in bonds was active Total
sales, par value, $3,266,000. United States
bonds were unchanged on tho last call.

Chicago Tribune.
The pen of Alexandre Dumas never pic
tured a more thrllllns battle against odds
or more hairbreadth escapes than the
newspaper reports of the escape of the
convict Tracy from a Montana prison. If
he were anything but a low desperado
the public would be compelled to give vent
to a gasp of admiration for the extraor
dinary and successful daring which he
has shown at every stage in his flight. If
he were an Italian he would divide with
Musaolino the popular devotion and with
him be nominated to the chamber whoso
laws he defied.
Tracy's escape has been marked by all
the features of wild romance. He slipped
through lines of ambushed pursuers; slept
in their midst: abandoned land for water,
and took to land again to compel an un
willing family to supply him with food
and clothing, and then, with a captive at
the oars, set out on the ocean in a cockle
shell craft. The population has been hos
tile to the murderer, and tho alarm has
been given wherever he has made his
identity known in search of food. If he
escapes and In an undeveloped country
ho well may for a time it will be through
his own efforts. Thero has been no de
generate popular sympathy with the crim
inal such as prevented ilussolino's cap
ture forvmany years. The Sheriff has
had no trouble in securing a posse. Tracy
will be brought to bay in the course of
time and punished for his crime. The
only thing that is to be feared Is that
the angered people of the state may take
the law into their -own hands If Tracy is
caught alive, and string him to a tree.
