OFFICIAL FIGURES
CAUSE RIOT Iff PIT
Crop Report Expected to Be
Bearish, but Bullish Ten
dency Prevails.
FAR SHORT OF LAST YEAR
AVinter Wheat About S, 500,000
Acres Less Harvest Promises to
Be Only 400,000,000 Bushels.
July I'p to $1.17 3-4.
CHICAGO. May T. (Special.) Official
crop figures wired here late in the day
caused great commotion In the wheat
trade. Before the report was received
there was panicky selling on reports of
rains In the Southwest and fear that the
Washington figures might prove bearish.
"When the report was received. It proved
bullish and a phenomenal advance started,
which carried prices up to $a.rp for July
and $1.08 for September.
The crop report gives the area of
Winter wheat In this country about 2,600,
000 acres short of the harvest of 1908. The
average condition of the crop Improved
only 1.3 points during the month of April.
The best that can be figured is a harvest
promise of 400.000,000 bushels and many
authorities think the yield for the year
will fall below that figure.
The action in the market may be Judged
by the fact that July wheat sold early
at $l.i3i, had a break to 1.13V4 and from
this there was an advance to $1.17 Just
before the close.

the strength of that bar. In point
of intellect, was on the native

affair is shown by the marked opposi

donation to the militia offi

Four Aldermen out of five voted against
the appropriation despite protests of the

against imperial ethics and that Van

HOT FIGHT AT END
Newfoundland Election to
Break Deadlock.
HOUSE DIVIDED EQUALLY
Bond and Morris Each Have 1 8 Sup
porters and Legislature Can Do
Xo Business New Election
Is Only Way Out.
ST. JOHNS. N. F-. May 7. The most
exciting general election in Newfoundland
ince the representative government was
established, ended tonight. Balloting
will occur tomorrow, but It is not expect
ed that the outcome will be known until
the latter part of next week, as a ma
jority of the electoral districts are re
mote from the railroads.
The election is the second within seven
months. In the November polling 36
members of the Legislature were elected,
18 supporting Robert Bond, who. was
then premier.' and the other half favoring
Sir Edward Morris. After Governor
MacGregor had summoned the Legisla
ture half a dozen times and each time
prorogued it, as a deadlock ensued, he
dissolved the Assembly and ordered a
new election. .
The most sensational incident was the
attack on Sir Robert Bond when' he at
tempted to land at Weston Bay, April
30, to address a meeting. He was kicked
in the chest and knocked overboard.
