ment of the toni.
Cobb declared the bjll oppressive to
capital because of its requirement of
reports to the corporation department
and for other reasons. Sam Brown
declared it the most ridiculous measure
he ever saw because it would prevent
the picking of fruit on Sunday durifcg

anew on the house floor today, on the
suggestion of the revision of laws

responsibility for UT without some hint
from the legislat-e as a Whole.

that the committee be directed to pre
pare a bill giving to Multnomah county

position of tolls and all other matters,
whatever surplus there might be out of
maintenance and repair expenses to be
turned back to the state to apply on
the interest charges, which the 1813
legislature had agreed the state should
assume.

CHICAGO WHEAT PIT
EXCITED TO BEDLAM
BY PRICE VARIATION
Howls of Brokers Are Re
echoed From the Public
and Private Galleries.
I United' trw Lnwd Wlre.J
Chicago, Feb. 8. The most riotous
scenes witnessed on the Board of
Trade since, the famous Patton and
Loiter deals Occurred at today's open
ing when May wheat opened) at $1.60,
suddenly dropped a.s low as $1.56
within ten minutes and at the end of
fifteen minutes had set a new high
record by leaping to l.S5Va, later
reaching $1.66:
Traders on the floor acted like wild
men. Spectators who crowded the
public and private galleries caught
the excitement and screamed and
yelled with the howling brokers., The
pit fairly seethed with excitement.
Reports and rumors were diametri
cally opposed In their effect on the
pit. "
Widely credited reports that open
ing of the Dardanelles might soon be
expected, thus letting out Russia's
wheat crops,, were partly responsible
for the bottom prices. These reports
soon were fdflowed by news that New
Zealand's g6vernment -had authorized
importation, of wheat. This sent the"
prices skyward again.
At 10 o'clock May wheat went to
$1.64 and July wheat to $1.41.
May wheat closed at $1.59 'i per
bushel, after having at. one time sky
rocketed to a new record price of
$1.66. The extreme fluctuation for
May wheat during the day of wild
scenes on the board of trade was 9 Vic
per bushel.
With flour having reached the "war
price" yesterday of $8 per barrel, and
wheat having "soared to' $1.85 per
bushel, bakers throughout Chicago to
day raised bread prices to ef and 12
cents per loaf. Many already had
raised prices yesterday.
