THE BIC DEAL IN MAY WHEAT., Trading in the Option Oontinued on a Very Large 8cale, HOW THE MARKET WAS WORKED, A Decidedly Bullish Undertone to Corn—Oats Rule Firmer—Pork Remains at a Standstill— Cattle Higher. CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET. CaicAGo, March 9.—([Special Telegram to the Brgk,|—The idea that there is a “deal” in May wheat has become popularized and little else i talked about in speculative and grain dealing circles, There may be a “deal” and there may not. The fact that May wheat is selling at a premium of 1}4¢ and 2¢ above June indicates the existence of an abnormal condition of trade, The market is acting asany heavily oversold market might act, Chicago has been the dumping ground of the world, and it has been esti- mated that from 75,000,000 to 100,000,000 bushels of wheat have been sold in this market for May delivery against possessed wheat in every position. There has been selling against wheat stored in New York, Toledo, Detroit, Milwaukee, Duluth, Minne- apolis and St. Louis; in couutry elevators through the west and northwest, as well as that at home, and grain on passage from Cal- ifornia, Indiana and every exporting country in the world, to say uothing of the specu- lauve lines put out by burly speculative short sellers in self-protection. The purchasers of several large lines of wheat were forced to take the offerings of the crowd. The market declined from S6c to 77%¢ and a few stubborn merchant operators who stood by their guns me loaded up with enormous lines of propert; Receiving houses saw millions “going into a hole” every day and not coming out, and they begap auietly changing from May into later months. They thought they might not be able to get their back country wheat to Chicago as promptly as might be desirable, and as a precautionary measure advised th customers to extend the time of delivery, The demand from this starter about absorbed the scattered unenngq and short sellers began to get unea: Th market became nervous and buy scale above the ordinary produced & scarcity of speculative offerings. Then the fun be- gan. ‘Thealarm was sounded and the shorts started to cover, ‘Therowas nothing for sale. The wheat that had been pouring into the hole did not come out, or. if it did, the shorts haven’t been abie to discover it. ‘I'rading for few days has been on a vast scale. These concentrated holdings may have been sold out and they may not. ‘T'hé market was ex- cited and ‘nervous all day, with the storm center of greatest excitement located in the tirst half of the long session. ‘The opening was wild, with trading in various parts of the pit at prices ranging from 84ige to shdge, ‘The ofticial opening was 8¢, witih .| une rated at K3hje. After a season of wild fluctuation the market finally touched 56¢, but it did not stay there long. “The range the tirst half hour was 843¢c and 86¢c. For the last two hours of the long session until nearly the close prices fluctuated uneasily between 351@5%c, but shortly before 1 o'clock the wiarket tended downward sharply, leaving off at Si’go for May K¢ for June. Cable: quiet, Fxport business 10 ather intaror . Doints andstill. None of the other markets are following Chicago except at a great dis- tance, though all are showing signs of n nusness, Duluth was about 4¢ below Chi- 0 at one time to-day, and St. Louis was ¢y, In this market June and July acted weak and rather nerveless. Corn in the spec- ulative market was very activeand unsettled, with a decidedly bullish undertone. Outside news did not appear to cut any ligure to-day, local influences governing almost entirely. ‘The opening was higher, first trades being on & basis of 40}gc for ) \la( and 41'{¢ for June. ‘The market sazged a little early, leading fu- tures receding ic from the opening figures, but quickly there was another upturn, and when the shorts rushed in to cover they found very little corn for sale, From 40%c it moved ‘g o 41¢, and after that polnt was passed the vance was very rapid until 42c was scored. ‘The market reacted to 41'4c, but closed firin at 4Ugoat 1 v'clock. Oats also ruled a little firmer, Pork was at a standstill. ‘There was [y hlrdzsree of activity in nbl.wnh nnmnfily displayed disposition fo sell, and consideral animation in lard, with a very deci ten- dcnc‘y to buy. oft Lardat one time sold at $5.00 T at L o'clock at $7.40. May ribs were uj wa T3¢ and rested at $8.671¢, This 18 & gain in both ribs and lard, but the tone of the Iatter seemed to be stronger than in_the former, Jurdlnz from the expressions of opin- lon heunl n the pit. E ." m. —On the afternoon board wheat opene 3¢c lower than the 1 o'clock close, sold at 83%¢c and up to 8434c, closing at zufl./r for May. Corn got as low as 41}¢¢ for May, but improved to1c s the close. May pork closed at $20.50 nominal, and ribs at $5.6), CHICAGO LIVE STOCK. CnicAGo, March 9.—[Special Telezram to the Ber.]—CATTLE—The dectease in re- ceipts to-day gave salesmen some advantage and they succeeded In getting about 5@10c advance on nearly all desirable beef quali- ties. Common to fair kinds of rough and lean cattle were slow of sale, but all smooth and fat cattle sold very actively at stronger prices, Thne quality of cattle to-day was very poor, there being only a few cars of good cattle offered. During the week poor to extra fat cattle have sold at $3.50@5.15, with fancy long yearling 12:0-1b short horns at $5.00, and some 1008-1b grade heifers barely a year old at §4.55. Handy light cattle of good flesh have been in strong demand.

FINANCIAL. NEw York, March 9.—|Special Telegram to the BEEr.]—Srocks—It was expected that the story of the purchase of the Balti- more & Ohio rairoad by the Corlin-Sully- B yce crowd would boom the stock market to-day, but fafter a show of strength at the opening the street began to copper bull points coming i from syndicate sources, and selling ‘was rather heavier than the clique had anti- eclpated. A break of 3@1 per cent followed and thero were stories that the syndicate had attempted more than they could perform In their project of combining under one man- azement 16,000 wiles of railroaa. 1t leaked out, too, that the Western Union’s quarterly statement was not so favorable as has been expected, asit was claimed that the Balti- more & Ohio telegraph company was so tied up by contract with the Bennett-Mackay com- pany that any compromise with the Western Union was hardly probable. A large amount of Western Unlon was thrown on the war- ket, breaking .the price fully 1per cent. Grangers were all very strong. St. Paul ad- vanced on a report that its annual statement would show a surplus above dividends of fully $1,000,000, A pool was alleged to have been tormed in it composed of friends of Vice President Bond. Richmond Terminal broke 3 per cent and apparently the ounly reason for the decline was the story that its friends had gone into adea! that was not unlikely to prove disastrous to all concerned. At noon the market was steady, sales to thal hour aggregating 150,000 shares. The quar- terly statement of the Western Unlon com- pany, showing net earnings of only $750,000 against over $1,000,000 earned for the corre- sponding quarter last year, caused arp break of 8 por cent and the whole market slumped off in sympathy with the demoral- ized feeling in Western Unlon, It was ex- pected that the Western Union net earnings would amount to about $1,250,000 for the quarter and the bad statement brought a host of selling orders. The bears pressed their advantage and sold the whole list, causing a general decline of fully 1 per cent during the closing hour. 'The market closed weak at bottom prices for the day.
