April 13. Wheat shot skyward today. May delivery rose more than 4 cents a bushel to $110, and July more than 3 cents to 3106H. It was a crop-scare market. There was a rapid reaction, however, to $1.07 for May and 31.05 4 for July. The wlldness of fluctuations was due to the announcement that C. E. Glf ford A Co, had given notice to trans fer all its trades. C K. Glfford. head of the suspended firm, said the trans fer of his trades was made necessary because an employe had been specu lating secretly and that the transfer was unavoidable till that house could find out where It stood. In spite of the extraordinary fluctu ations, the actual scene on the floor of the Board of Trade differed little from what could be seen under ordi nary conditions. Fallare Reported Not Serious. ' It was said the liabilities involved In the Glfford suspension would not exceed $10,000. The firm was said to be fairly even on the market. The Idea that the advance had per haps been excessive brought about a calm, but fresh buying set in and the market again rose to a point little be low the level of the initial excitement. Most of the damage had been Inflict ed on soft Winter wheat, which con stitutes the bulk of the stock in Chi cago elevators and is comparatively i scarce elsewhere. The belief was gen- i eral that the merchandising of the huge stores held here and long felt to be a weight on prices would result. Besides the injury said to have oc curred In Illinois. Indiana xid Ohio, aispatcnes tola oi aamage auegea to amount to a quarter or a third of the crop In 13 counties of Northeast Kan sas. Missouri Yield Cat Heavily. One authority sent word that In some parts of Missouri the yield would not be more than half an average crop, even with the most favorable weather from now until harvest. , A rough estimate of the extent of ' the crop damage was made by one ex pert as approximating a total of 50. 000.000 bushels. This total was 'fig ured on the theory that one-third or the expected yield In Illinois, Indiana and Ohio had gone to ruin. rtA.fn fn. th. Ha wr .1. most at the topmost level reached on ' the earlier swells. The market fin ished strong at $1,093 fur May and $1.057,i to $1.06 for July, gains respect ively, of 3"i4 and Z cents, as com pared with H hours before.
