Yesterday was Waterloo day. ‘Those who wero bears on wheat at 83¢, aud thoso who were bulls at 95, both got badly left. Where tho same man occupled both positions the result was disastrous fu the extreme, There was o bad break In wheat {n this mar- ket yesterday, and other markets fell off, in sympathy, but not to the same extent. Whent was more panicky thau at any previous time for sevoral years past. The firm popularly sup- posed to be the agent for Keeno commenced selling early, and gold vigorously, Thé crowd at Nrat regarded the movement as n ruse, and freely took all that was offered, bus {na litlo swhile the fecling changed, and then the market went down at a rapld rate, but the frm referrod -to still kept onseliing till it had disposed of probably 2,500,000 bLu, partly throngh brokers. Then there waa hurrylng to and fro, And calls for checks, and tremblings of dfstress; And cheeks all pale that but a day before Had Ruslied with hopes of dollarous success. Margins were called frecly, and that forced agreat mauy to echl who bad held on rather slender security for parties outside, while the ranks of the sellers recelved st{ll further nccea. slons from the minor local longs, who rushed In to reallze beforo the market should go still lower. Towards noon there was a declded re- action, but 1t was only temporary; the neowa bringlog in orders by telegraph toscll out, which again ‘sent tho market downward, The closing was somewhat better. ‘The gencral imorcssion was that the Keene wheat wus boiug sold out, but beyond this point opinions were much divided, Some thought the glant operator had decided to close up his deal here, and leave the mar- ket to Its fate, Otliers thought 1t prob- able that he had decided to divide the responsibility,—selllng abont half hero and shipping tho rest. 8till othera—but they wero fow —ventured the opinfon thut the great manipu- lator was only shaking out the smallor fry of operators, 8o that ho might take hold on a tnore glgantic scale than ever. These were among the men who selzed the opportunity to fill in at the decline; sud thy purchases at the bottom were numerous enough to give a relatively stronger foellng near the closo of the session, The great season of activity was, howover, dur- Inge the first hour, when tho shove-named quan- tity was sold, mostly In big blocks, . besides o great number of smaller travsactions. The range of the market was about 58¢e per bu. A rumor was atarted - {h the afternoon to the efect that the wheat had been sold oo a forged order by telegraph. Fhie rumor was a wild oue, and sppeared to be improbable, as the news of the Lresk and its causo could scarcely havo {alled to reach My, Keene In timo to enable him to stop the “sluughter of the innocents,” and buy the stuff back at a profit, Au approximate cstimate of the situation is not ditticult to make. The wheat was bought at an average cost of about 86e for April delivery, and was sold at nn aversgo’ of fully e, That 18 8 per bu on 2,500,000 bu, equal to §200,000 which would lcave a profit of about $120,000 after paying commissions aml! intercst on the uso of the wmoney. The wheat sold for Aprit will probably be dellvered at the beginnlug of that month, and {f It can be ytaken back at o good profie, the party delivering it mav conclude to buy it back. Corn declined 3qe, oats e, and rye e, in sympathy with whoat; while barley was.inde- pendently dull, as usual. Vork went down 173§ @20c, and lard 10¢; but sl closed firmer. One featuro of the excltement in whoat, though not a part of the legittmato trading, was # wholessls repudiation of *“puts.” Bomo prominent members wers allezed to have col- lected a great many $5 bills the previous aftor- noon for which they solil the privilege of deliv- cring April wheat at 053¢e, which waiild have allowed n proflt of nearly $2.40 on cach $5 in-, vested, §f the deal bad been closed at thebotton price of thesessfon, It is well known that theso trausactions nro {llegal; uud the fact that buyers of privileges pre thus debarred ln law from en- torcing the contract ought to make people avold such deallngs, aven it thelr respect for the law of the Btate be not a sufliclent preventive, Jobvers of staplo und fancy dry goods were pretty busy. T addition to a very liberal mail- order business, thero was a good uttondance of buyers, whose selectigus made a large aggre- gute. Cotton textlles aro decldedly tirm, and somo lnes ure ndvancing. The. grocery market renined aboutb steady, Trade ls satisfactory for the time of ycar, In forelgn und domestic drled fruits thero {es liberal and inereasliy wovement, and apples, peuches, bluckberrics, currants, and Valencln ratslns are very firm, Flsh continue In good request ot fully sustafned prices.
