THE CREAT DEAL IN PORK. | Excitement 8til] Reigns in the Provision Pit and Wild Rumors Afloat. BUT LITTLE TRADING DONE. The Bucket S8hops Badly Burned—A Weaker Feeling in Both Wheat and Corn—General Mar- ket Quotations, CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET. CricA March 1,—(Special Telegram to the Bek |—From long befora 9 until 10:30 o'clock this morning the lower corridors of the board of trade were crowded with brokers, with outsiders, with settling clerks, and with boys and men ot ali sorts, and with all interests discussing the wild scenes of yesterday In the pork pit. To-aay being the firstof the month, and set apart for de- liveries, the regular session did not begin until an hour later than usual. That hour was glven over tothe dissemination of the wildest sorts of rumors or to prognostications equally wild. Over in the big bucket shops which fringe the locality the gossip was equally as animated. It was rumored last night that Murphy, the richest bueket shop man here, whose partners are Dave Pulsifer and Riley, the pool seller, had “laid down.” ‘There was no truth in the report; but there was & mysterious lot of gossip going about the bucket shop men themselves, Three of the smaller concerns went brok®, and Murphy I3 said to have dropped 80,000 Liis losses liere to his local traders were upward of £100,000, but half of this was offset by winnings made out of the country trade, which shorted pork after it got up to £16.00. There was so big a crowd in pork at the opening that it was Impossible for the little telegraph boys to dart In and out. For several minutes after the opening there was no trade at all. Sellers asked 5,00, buyers bid only £17.00. In the first ¢ minites there were a few trades made, first at $1 then at 817,70 up to $19.00. ‘Lhe motive in the pit to-day was apparently to re- store confidence —to settle the price at above $15.00 nutil the world gets accustomed to it— and then, wh that is done and trading is active, to advance it a peg or two farther. At times to-day there was almost a cessation of trading, and at other times the pit would crowd up with_brokers packed as elose as sardines, and the trades would cause the price to spring about between 81850 and 81000, with very little regard to fractions. Atter noon the botton was £18.50. ‘T'nere were plenty of brokers to protect it at that figure in any quantity or in any si But pork really needed very little prot There were few sellers at 1 o’clock. close was at $18.67% for May, althou/h the price within five minutes had' been 19,00, ost of the purchases were supposcd to be for the bucket shops, who had now begun to hedge, Lard and ribs were h[mrlnule‘ traded in. Wheat 80ld up to 8ie and down under . ‘The wossip was that the Cincinnati cllque had tried to form a coali- tion with the other cliques which are long on wheat with a vroviso that the whole ns should be put into one The attempt, it was said, not succeeded. There were enormous clearances for the seaboard—over 520,000 bushels of wheat—and they caused the early stren zth, but the very warin weather and the promise of still warmer weather made sellers of evervbody except the cliques. Ream, Jones, Cudahy, and Brega all talked in a sell- ing moud. “Hutehinson was the largest seller at the opening, but it didn’t avail any. Corn went with wheat. ‘The markets on the afternoon session were weaker and erain closed Yy @3c lower. Mess vork deelined 25¢ and closed tame. Lard was 5S¢ lower. Short ribs were steady.
