lying outside the harbor of Chefoo wait

Refugees aboard the Mongolia say that
the Japanese are extending their lines
about Port Arthur and are advancing

and persistence la that Port Arthur is
certainly doomed. ." '

Chicago, Aug. 11. With a lower open
ing on account of the better report of

waa exciting from beginning to end.
Today the prices that ruled at the
close are the highest yet reached this
season.
When the market opened there was a
tendency among some of the longs to
go short and thla caused the price on
all options to take a downward course.
Near the close of the session the receipt
of additional reports of damage to the
wheat crop from what-were considered
reliable sources caused a firmer feeling.
and almost In an instant there waa a
change of front and from a tone Of
alight weakness the market emerged to
one of unusual strength -anq, prices
iook an upward movement
This course was' kept up until the
close of the session, all options being
eagerly sought.
The soene In the whest pit waa one of
the wildest excitement Renown, even re.
memberlng the wild days that - the
board haa known in the past. Men
fought and struggled for positions on
the steps, clothes were torn, hats
smashed and occasionally a member
was badly bruised In the crush. When
the bell tapped at 10 o'clock there was
a grand rush in the wheat pit Brokers
shrieked themselves hoarse. -
A rumor gained currency and credit
that Armour wss engineering a squeese
on old September wheat. The reports
had It that be had agents out buying up
the entire available supply- This drove
the shorts into the pit frantic to cover
at any loss, and prices shot up in the
twinkling of an eye. to ado to the eav.
citement reports came that the damage
to the wheat crop In the northweat had
not been overeatlmated.
vEven after the market closed there
waa much curb trading, and the whole
board la preparing for another, sky

New September opened very weak at
l4 cents. It ruled around this figure
until the letter parfof the session, when
almost In an Jnstsnt It reached 11.04 H.
Then there was a slight wavering of the
bull forces and the price, by gradual
descent, moved back to 11.01 seked,
which waa the closing figure. Thla is
an advance for the day of 414 cents.
This Is a net rise since yesterday of
114 cents.
Old September also had a weak open
ing at 61.014- As with ths new option
there Wss a tendency to sell early, but
at near the close the market rallied and
struck the high point at $1.0514. From

advanoe fof the dag of cents, or a
net rise from yesterday's close of 1

Ths December option followed Jn the
up and down turns of the Other months.
