Excitemt.
Chicago, Feb. 1. One of the most
exciting sessions of the Board of
Trade here closed this afternoon after
a flood of buying orders had Bent the

highest price for wheat in many years.
This is 3 1-8 couts above Saturday's

The advanco of May wheat carried
the July option up with it. May

few minutes before tho close the top
