The -Full Explanation of the Greatest LtWheat Deal * of the Season. Archie Fisher Deceived by a Bogus " Dispatch from New York. All the Wheat He Sold Friday Bought Back Yesterday ‘Without XLoss. Everybody Happy Except the Little Fellows Who Were Froze Out. CHICAGO. ¢ AN BXD TO THE RACKET. The flurry in the wheat market is over. The deal is finished, and the military command, ** As you were,” expresses the condition with more ihan tolerable accuracy. The telegram which raised the scare proves to have been a fraud. Keene rcpudiated the entire transaction. TFisher bought back the grain he had sold, and everybody is happy. No, not everybody. Many small operators, who bad chosen the “long side under the conviction that the steadily-in- creasing forcign consumption would advance the vaiue of No. 2 spring to $1 about the open- ing of navigation, and had put up $10,000 or §15,000 as margins; found themselves thorough- 1y .cleancd .out Friday noen. Maoy country- then, who became panic-stricken at the course of events the same day, rushed in wildly .and ordered their brokers here 16 push tbings, under the belief that the boltom lad fallen outjund the Day of Jude- ment had arrived. They too were large losers. Who made the money? A few bears who had been constantly eelling against ihe market ever since the consummation of the Keene purchase at the beminning of December. Some of them managed to whipsaw the deal. They filled their shorts at the decling, and immediately turned overto the bull side. These were the lucky ones, but their number was few. During the forenoon a TRIBUNE reporter dropped into the office of J. K. Fisher & Co., to take a look at the situation, 50 {ar as the chief actor was concerped. ‘The scribe found bim tilted up in & chair near the window, intently perusing THE TRIBUNE. Occasionally a puff of curling smoke arose from the ciwzar Whick he was carelessly smoking, and his face orce in & while became wreathed with a fleeting smile, as something of a humor- ous naturs attracted his attention. The reporter watched him closely for several minutes, and 1 his actions could not discover anything tending to indicate on the slizhtest degree that he stood on the verze of making a loss of from $200,000 to $250,000. He was as cool and collceted as if be had just negotiated a trade for 1,000,000 bushels of grain and his profic were assured. “he reporter at last stepped up and intimated {hat his Jead-pencil was eager for the fray. “T've got no news to fmpart,” said the genial Archie. But you can tell me if there be any truth in what Kcene says; is that dispatch bozus?”? “Teally, now, you must not ask me. Per- sonally I'would like very much to let you know all about it. but it would not be fair to others who are jnterested with me.” «That’s all right, of course; but what about Eeenc's statement. Is it substantially true” i That’s a leading question.” #Why, no, not at all.” «Now, don’t ssk me any more questions, There are other parties beside myself interested in this matter, and Lreelly can’t say anything about it.” On the early call the market was active and considerably excited, with a rather nervous feel- ing., Ovinions differed. Some thought that Keene’s statement was the true one, and that Fisher would be obliged to buy back all the wheat he had sold. These looked around for pointers. The brokers were buying fn o small way, and none of them gave .the least in- dication that they were under Archie’s orders. David Dows & Co., Baker & Co., W, 8. Linn, John T. Lester, und others were purchasing quite Treely, and it was generally belicved that they were ither filling sborts made at the bigher FROFE oF tivo"dayy ago;‘or were 'buyinr on'East- ern and export orders. ‘The market opened at abont 93¢ for April deliveries und sold up to 31c, with the bulk of the transactions at 3@ 94c. Once Archic made his appearance in the bit, and, waving o_telegram in_ bis hand, offered 45,000,009 bu at Y5c on a bogus telegram.” The propesition was received with shouts of laugh- ter, in the midst of which he disappeared. TNE REGULAR SESSION OPENED VERT FIRM at 93%c, and under the influence of mors favor- bl “teports by cable the market steadily stiffencd until the ticker indicated that 953 chad been realized. 1t was observed that the same parties who had purchased so largely on the call Were still filling up tbeir cards, and_taking eversthing offered until the lasi-named figure Sas Teached, when they seemed to lose all in- terest in the deal, and refused to follow it any farther. The bulls, finding that they could not Torce prices any higher, dropped their horns for ihe time being, and the market receded to 01¢@M3{e. at which the large export M3 o took hold, and the mar- et once more raflied a fraction, closing very firm at 943c. During the deal Archie Fisher strolled lefsurely into the pit and inquir- ed for a few car-loads of gilt-edzed receipts. He was soon_accommodated, and those who closely watched him failed to discern that be had any interest whatever in the noise and bustle oing on in the option crowd. What he wanted Sith car-load lots, gilt-cdged at that, was 8 mys- tery. They certainly had no connection withthe Keene deal, and he must have received an order from acountry miller. Throughout the cntire regular session the deal was just as much of a mystery as it was the day before. Many operbtors ~fmplicitly pinned their faith to the story of the bogus dis- patch and Keenc's denial, but all this while they wondered what Fisher was doing. Hemust protect himself, they reasoned, and why not now? They looked over the ficld to discover what promincut brokers were doing, but there was nary a sign. Others who believed that _the Keene wheat had been honestly dropped, and took no_stock whatever in the Kecue denial, wondered why the throwing of three millions of wheat on the market did not break it down_to at least 90 ceats. The only reasonable explanation that suited on this case vas the fact that the shippers and exporters be- Jieved the proverty to be cheap at the prices ruling, and purchased to fill orders which had been T¥ing here unfilled for some time. There were others who still adhered to the story that a local syndicate had been formed in conjunction with sowe promincent houses in New York, and that they had sareed to break the mnrket,l squeeze out the small “Jongs," and then rush things for all they were worth. It is obvious that these parties took no stock what- ever in Keene, Keene's wheat, or Keene's tele- grams. About 3 o'clock it hecame whlspercrkh: asort of behind-the-door style, thut Duws Co. and Baker & Co. had given up Fisher as the princi- Dal in all their transacuions of the day. As the pews spread, the feliows who koew it il and “thoughbt o all the time? became very lm- portant.. They professed a power of omniscienco that- would have broken the back of & Romau soothsayer. Ialfan hour Jater it was reported that Fisher had _given up the whole deal. The reporter hastened to his office, nnd‘, failing to find him there, visited the Chicago Club, where he discovered the object of bLis search quietly biding behind the emoke of a Bouncio cigar, three for half & dollar. L ] understand the agony is over and that you are out of the woods?’ remnarked the news- gatherer as he took the proffered hand. +Yes; you bet it is.” # Weil, tell me ali about it.” «Qn Friday morning 1 received a half-rate messageover the Atlantic & Pacific, signed XKeene, ordering me to sell wheat.” “ Let me sec the telegram.” ? Mr. Fisher went down into the recesses of a capacious pocketbook and pulled out a crum- Dled telegraph blank printed in red ink, on which was juscribed the following: New Yorg. March 8.—/, . Fisher & Co., Chi- caqo: Sell whatever wheat, Marcn or April, mar- Fet will take without declining more than three cente, KEENE. « This looks straight enouch on its face.” « Yes," resumed Mr. Fisher, *1 supposed it {0 be genuine. 1t is written in plain lanruage, but thut {5 not surprising, for we bave received severa! such telezrams from bim of Jate. 1 went into the market myself on Friday morn- ing and BEGAN SELLING IN LARGE BLOCKS. I xdvis,cd Keene every little while of what I was doing.” +Did you hear anything in reply?” « Not at first.” T yever suspected anvthing until afier I had sent my third dispatch; when 1 messenger-boy iromn the Atlantic & Pacific office camne und told me that Mr. eeno did not uuderstand This rather stagzered me, and afterwards I reccived a dispatch from Mr. Keene agking, * What teleerams have you sent me to-day?’ Then it immediately flashed through my mind that 1 bad been vie- timized by o bogus dispaich. I telezraphed, “Received order to sell; was it a forpery? An- swer quick.” With the sending of this I stopped selling,—baviog then disposed of 2,300,000 bush- els.” ; “Did you hear again from Keenc?” «Yes; alittle after 3 I received a dispatch, in which he stated that the telegram ordering the sale was a forgery. We had some further tele- graphie correspondence, and I took steps to buy back all the wheat I could get.”” ©Did you get any in the afternoon?? #Yes, about 300,000 busbels.” “You showed a wonderful amount of self- possession over the position you were placed in.” “1 had to; it was my only salvation. 1 had weakeaned, or let it be oflicially known that the telegram was bogus, the boys would have run the market up on me to 98 cents or $1. “The dinner party of Friday night was a re- lief to you?" £ _**Not so much, after allbut it diverted sus- picion; though I can tell you I slept very little during the night. I mode up my mind that everybody would be on the qui vive to know about the dispatch, and so resolved to'keeo a stiff upper-lip. As 1 said before, it was my only snl\'i'mon.” It was o great stroke not to employ profes- sional brokers.” B “Yes; it would never have done fo have taken those feliows who arc known to the trade as brokers solely, Henry Norton, repre- scoting Dasid Dows & Co., and Cobb, of Baker & Co., are personal iriends, and 1 know that with their afd L could puil through. They cach bought a milliou for me.” g 1t is suspected by some_that_instead of be- ing a loser you are a " winner, after all, on the deal?” “ Yos,” replied Mr. Fisher, with a slizht chuckle, ¢ Ibought it all back at a shade less than it was sold, but there wasn't cnouxh in it to induce me to go tbrough the strain acain.” “It is reported that Keene's New York brokers are very mad over, the forgery#? “ Yes, Smith & Lightner got a dispatch from Kufus Hateh. You had better see them about i ‘¢ Have you any idea as to the author of the bozas dispatchi “ Not the slightest. Keene thinks it was done by somebody who wanted to break the provision market, but this is all nonsense. it was the work of some fellow who haa been on the short side straight through the deal since Jast* December. Becoming desperate at his constant losses, he resorted to the INFAMY OF A BOGUS DISPATCH with a hope of saving himsell. Doubtless he has succeeded.” « fave you any idea that the perpetrator may be discoycred?” « [ understand that Keene will put the affair into the hands of the detectives. Should he do ;t‘u, I"wnuld advise them to work this end of the ine. At this moment three of four of the boys who had not been fn the deal cameup to extend their congratulations, and the reporter withdrew. "I'ie scribe subsequently dropped fnto the of- fice of Smith & Ligntoer, and was furnished with the following: New York, Morch 8.—Smith & Lightner, Chi- cago : Keene will pay $10,000 for the defection of the party who sent the order signed Keene di- recting Fisher & Co to scll wheat. He thinks it is Fegular conspiracy, in which several people are engaged, to break the grain and;provision mar- Xket, Give this information 1o Chicago pupers. Rurus Hatcu & Co. One eloment ereatly o favor ot Fisher, and one which materially aided him in escaping, was the fact that the New York party was Jim Keene. It is'well kngwn here that he is aful- lower of_and believer in the Gould tactics as ap- plicd to Wall street, and if in New York, why not in Chicago? It is also remembered that be made the great bulk of his fortune in mining stock speculations fo_California, and those who have given this branch of trade any particu- lar atfention know perhaps too well that the manipulators of mining stocks are up to all sorts of tricks, and are not overscruoulous asto the means cmg\lo)'cd to make a trick, For this reason_Keene's assertion that the dispatch on which Fisher operated was a forgery had com- parativelv little weight. The bulk of the oper- ators implicitly believed that bis statement was for ulterior purposes, and when he proposed to offer a reward for the detection ot the perpetra- tor of the fraud, they shook their beads and said *gammon.” Had it not been for the prev- alence of this opinion, Archie would have had o much barder row to hoe. Among the many little incidents of a private npature that were told the reporter concerning the losses inflicted_on the small bulls Friday was the collapse of Learock, the quondam actor st McVicker’s, who [ caught in the break and was cleaned out. He will probably say, with Woolsey: P Othot I had =erved Mcvicker with half the zeal 1 builed the wheat crop, I would not now bo scooped: scooped by a lot of fellows who know not the glories of dramatic art. Or words to the same effect. NEW YORK. CONFLICTING OPINIONS. Soecial Dispaich (o The Tribune. New Yorg, March 8.—The Chicago wheat transactions of yesterday had little effcct upon prices here to-day. James R. Kecne did noth- ing in wheat, holding aloof as he claims to have done ever since he completed his large pur- chases in the West, where he is believed to hold sbout 6,000,000 bushels. Inregard to the al- leged forgery telezraphed toJ. K. Fisher & Co., there were no uew disclosures to-day. “Mr. Keene leit word with one of bhis brokers that be would give $10,000 for the detection aud convie- tion of the sender of the dispatch, which reads s follows: NEw York, March 6.—J, K. Fisher & Co., Chicago: Sell whatever wheat, March or April, market will take without declining more than three cents, (Signed) KEENE. This dispatch was the chief “topic of codversa- tion at the Produce Exchange. Two opinions prevailed regarding the transaction. Mr. Keene and those interested with him declare the mes- sage a forgery. ** Iam as positive it is a forgery as 1 am thatT know my own name,” said ono of Mr. Keene's brokers. -*‘ Mr. Keene vever sends such o message as that cxeept in cipher. There is no desire on his part to unload yet. OQur export call for wheat is enormous, the largest we have had for years, and Mr. Kecno expects he can sell this spring at from $1.15 to $1.25a bushel.” Another of his brokers de- my telegrams. 2 minute or 50 clared that Mr. Keene had never received orsent adispatch concerning his grain operations ex- cept incipher; that the message was the work of a cli?uu of lurge dealers in Chicago, and Keene will ferret them out. ‘The Zimes says that, notwithstanding these positive msseriions, there is an opinion among_busincss men and graih merchants that the whole thing is a farce, and nobody knows better who wrote the dispatch than Keene himsclf. They laugh at the talk of torgery, aud the asserted offer of a reward. It is siguificant, they say, Lhat although a reward is loudly talked about, it has notas yet been actually offered. = Keene, according to mien who have closely watched Dis recent operations, migiit have had o dozen diferent reasons for vishing to sell his enormous amount of wheat. he theory most generally cousidered correct is that Keene desired to ‘‘unloud,” provided the market would stand it. To test the market, and st the same time put whatever loss that might come upon other than his own shouiders, the great speculator arranged to have the message sent to Fisher & Co. in such a way that, if it seemed best for his own in- terests, he could repudiate the order as a forged one, and let Fisher & Co. get out of it as best they could. The head of the Chicago firm being now in Europe, the junior partucr acted upon the order without sufficiently carcful ex- amination, ‘The ‘*test” went on until it became evident that rices Were going too low to suit Keene's ideas of prol and then it was_discovered that Fisher & Co. were acting under a forged order. On the other side It is stated that Mr. Keene telegraphed J. K. Fisher in Europe that he had given no order to sell, and had no intention to sell without a surely rising market. ——————— RENOVATION OF FURNITURE --- ' THE - TRIBUNE" COUNTING-ROOM.

The greatest disparity in ages was that of a man of 51 years who got the docu- ment to marry a woman of 3% years. A youth of 48 years took fo himself a blushing maiden of the same age. One license bore the abbreviation 4 diy.” opposite the woman’s name, whizh means divorced, ind one young man iosisted on the clerk’s writing his (the young man’s) name on the Heense, and he put bis private “X*' upon it dlterward. One young nan was under age, and so were four damsels, but all of them had the necessary consent of parents and -guardians. The gentlemanly clerk who struggles with the applicants for liccoses has great difliculty in peiting many of them to spell their names and those of their aflianced brides correctly, but he always succeeu: O’MEAGHER CONDON. Reception of a Celebrated Fenian. Capt. Edward O'Meagher Condon, the [rish patriot, whose recent release from his English: prison is ome of the achicvements of the prescot Administration at Wash-’ ington, arrived in this city last even- ing. This unfortunate martyr to a principle wirich has cost liim a decade of his life is still o young-looking man. _Nevertheless he bears traces of his long imprisonment, and, althoush of a strong constitution naturaily, he uppears worn away and broken down in liealth by his jmprisooment. Since bis release and s arrival in - bis country, be bas met with warm fricods among the Irish people of Americy, who bave, in some measure, compensated him for his suf- Serings. On his arrival from St. Louis last evening he went direct to Burke’s Hotel, where he was met by a deputation of Irish citizens, who welcomed him to this city. . Mr. John Sullivan, in pehalf of the people of Mitchelstown,County Cori, Ireiand, who are now residents of Gliicazo, read an eloquent address of welcome and congratulation at Capt. Con- don’s retease from prison and restoration to his family and friends in this city. He wished him 2 hearty ‘-cead milie failtbe™ to tnis great aty and his adopted home. fe was as- sured that the gathering last cvening but faint- 1y expressed the patriotic pride with which the Trish people indorse bis every aci on behalf of universal liberty. 7The address then comph- i ments him on the part be took from the scene at_Kilclooney Wood, where the gallant Peter O'Neill Crowley feil a victin _to Brinsh brutalicy, to the rescue of Col. Kelly at Manchester. The memorialists say that they * join the American public sentiment in declaring the farce that consigned vou and the noble martyrs, Allen, Larkin, and O'Brien, to an ignominicns death 3 Atizma upoa civilized 1 jurisprudence.” The address concluded with e bope that the cause fur which - he suffured was not dead but quietly awaiting a fitting op- portunity, which the signs of the times predict 1s at hand. Capt. Condon replied modestly to this con- gratulatory address. He said that be was en- tirely unprepured to make a formal reply, but he could only reiterate the hope that was ex- pressed in the address that the cause of Irish liberty was not dead and not even sleeping. He encouraged his hearers to fall in with the conciliatory feeling now 60 prevalent, and, while never losing sight of their great principle, 1o attempt. to secure It by peaceable means. He was_confident that an international sense of justice would soon compel Eneland to concede to the Irish people the right of self-goverament for which they have so long contended in vain. Miss iatfe McPhelem, on behalf of the Irish- American ladies of Chicago, then read the fol- lowing address: Honored Sir: On behalf of your countrywomen of Chicago we bid_you a cordiai welcome to our city. We congratulate yon upon yohr release from bond- nge, where you suffered for love of Ireland, and, with all the “gencrous: warmth which is natural to the hearts of your countrywomen, we offer onr thanks and blessings to the God of Freedom and to those whom He made worthy to be the in- struments of your deliverance to the land of your adoption. We weep to contemplate the sacrifices af onr sons for onr country; we are clated with joy hen the world has vroof 'tbat Irish mothers have not euckled ** willing slaves.” Youldrew the sword when your adopted country was in peri), and victory crownud the Union and the Flaz; you were unwilling to eheathe it until yon offered it for Ireland: thus like a true Celt have you proved yourself worthy of Ireland. of America, and of our race. Such example is worthy the emulation of our children, tue rememorance of America, and the sratitude of Ircland. While America has such citizens she need fear no foe; while Irelana hag euch sons she will never despair. The name of Edward O'Meagher Condon shall ever be associated with all those potriots who suf~ fored for ircland and liberty, and shall cver be with us u bousehold word, and the first prayer we shall :um‘:’n our children to lisp shall be, **God save Ire- and.” 1In response to this the hero of the eveninZ pleaded his native Irish modesty, his waut of preparation, and the fact that, having seen no ludies for eleven years of his life previous to bis recent release, fie was yet unable to make a becoming reply to sn address coming from such charming friends. He was free to 8ay, lowever, that ihe Irish ladies were always foremost in the battle for liberty, and willing to endure still greater Dbardships than the men. At the conclusfou of the speeches an oppor- tunity was given to make the acquaintance of Capt. Condon aud shake his hund in_quiet pre- vious to the public reception to be given at Me- Corwick Hall this eveniny. et BAYARD TAYLOR'S REMAINS.
