Chicago, Feb. 3 A buying rally followed
the decline in wheat prices resulting from the
break in diplomatic relations sdth Germany to
day, and the wheat market closed at noon with
May futures 7 to So above last night's close.
Many big houses were buying grain aa the
closing gong sounded.
Chicago, Feb. 3. (I. N. S.) The grain pit
was extremely nervous over American-German
relatione today and prlcea fluctuated rapidly
within a narrow range at the opening. News
that diplomatic relations wlth batrmany -shad
been broken off was discounted in advance,
however, and served 'to cause a drop of lees
than 3 cents In wheat. Wheat opened 4QlVc
lower.
Corn was unchanged to He lower.
Oata were unchanged to lower.
Provisions were slightly lower.

POTATO PRICES ARE
MTY WITH MORE
ADVANCES' FORCED
Purchases at Country Points Con
firmed at $2.85 to $2.90 Cental,
With as High as $3 for Portland
Delivery Trade Is Excited.
The upward flight of potato prtcea eontlnuea
locally, and buyers are stampeded. They
scarcely know what to do. Each advance In
tbe price from one dealer la Instantly meb by a
further advance by another. The result la
that the market changes sometimes several
.times an hour.
Actual purchases of potatoes are shown in
tbe country at $2.83Q2.90 per rental, f. o. b.
cera, while some purchases have been made In
a limited way aa high aa $3 per .cental de
livered at Portland.
The east and southwest continue liberal bid
ders for supplies. Quite fair sales have been
shown to the southwest during tbe last 24
hours at $3 per cental, bnt the trade la not
now willing to ah In below $3.25.
Along Front street tbe trade la asking re
tell era $33.25 per cent!, although trade la
not heavy, because most of the retailers were
quite well stocked when values were materially
lower.
One of tbe queer twists ef the trade, and In
dicating the extreme strength of tbe situation
in general la that potatoea rejected on account
of the lack of quality one day, are sold the
nest at 10 to 15c a cental more than tbe orig
inal price. 8ucb a runaway market has never
before been seen by the trade.

Nervous Tone Felt
In Stock Market,
At Opening Today
New Tork, Feb. 3. (I. N. S.) Trading was
lid and excited on the stock exchange shortly
before the close at noon. Cancellattans of sell
ing orders came at tbe same time that large
buying orders were telephoned and telegraphed
In most cases these buying orders were with
out price limits, and brokers executing them
took stocks as offered passing over small frac
tional advances without any notice. It waa
evident that the market movement had been
abruptly changed by tbe act tori of the admlnla
tretlon. Steel common waa bid so In large
blocks, and rose from 09 points to above
104, while Industrial Alcohol, after selling at
lllH points, rose to 118. Bethlehem Steel,
which sold down to 863 points, rose to 400.
Galna of 2 to 10 points in other Issues were so
numerous that It would bf Impossible to men
tion them in detail.
It waa 10 minutes after the close before the
sales could be pnt in type.
Tbe final tone was strong. Government
bonds unchanged, railroad and other bonds
firm.
EARLY liOSSES FADE QUICKLY
IX NEW YORK COTTON MART
New Tork, Feb. S. (I. N. S.) After drop
ping 20 to 30 points on the nnnouncementhat
the United States bad broken diplomatic rela
tions with Germany, s heavy demand from
Liverpool and trade Interests caused a sensa
tional gain in cotton. There seemed to be a
scarcity of shorta, and May sold above 15a or
nearly a hundred points over Friday's close.
j-ne rmai tone waa excited, with prices BO
to 108 points net higher. r

Wheat prices lost 10c or so and then went
back real hard during the most erratic day's
trading Known for many yeara In the Chi
cago pit. Private advices Indicate panic
among tne longs and aborts of the trade.
Locally there la practically nothing doing In
me iraue. uootattocs are on a nominal basis
None of the operators are willing to do any
Dustness at tne moment and values have re
ceded so far that country holders are stUl not
inclined to let go.
Flour market ohowed no change here dur

au immediate drop of either 20c or. 40c

cago trade changed the situation. Prices on
flour were therefore not changed.
