fHE SPECULATIVE MARKETS. The Wheat Oligue Takes Advantage of Bunday to Ohange Brokers, NO UNUSUAL FEATURE IN TRADE. Failure of a Shoe-String Operator In the Provision Pit Dissipates the ldea That Armour Ran the Deal CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET. CnicAGo, March 14.—[Special Telegram to the Br)~The crowd was inclined to feel from the very start to-day that the intervention of Sunday had been of advantage to the wheat clique, It had given them time to set- tle plans which last week looked muddled to outsiders. The gossip was that it had given them an opportunity to look around and se- lect a hew set of brokers, 1t wasthe wonder of the pit last week that when the big “‘boy- cotters” made it hard for Kershaw & Co. and Rosenfeld & Co, to trade they did not switch off to & new set of houses for a while, This, It 18 claimed, has been done quictly, so that while Kershaw & Co. and Rosenfeld & Co. Are taking the brunt of the kicks from the disappointed bears, the other houses are quietly piling up more wheat, May opened At 82 and sold down ore 1 o'clock to Klige, There was some good buyiug by out- siders. Schwartz, Dupee & Co., Jones, Me- Cormick & Kennett, and other firms not so far connected with the cligue business, were buying. Cudahy was credited very g erally with ~ buying and S0~ was inn. The visible supply decrease was about as was anticipated. ‘I'he fizures cut down the amount of wheat s but that may not be considered an extcaordinary figure with 80 much in sight and with thé next harvest 80 near. If the fligures should not be larger than that next week they would be a bear ar- gument, There was alittle wheat, 40,000 bush- els of No. 2 spring sold here for export, and it was also gaid there were good bids for Da- luth wheat at New York. The amount of export business done up to 1 o’clock was dis- appointing. Corn closed at 40°.c and was between 40iic and 4lc all the session. If there were fewer bulls but more determined ones, and if thers was not a prospect that a reat deal of corn was destined for this mar- et in the next fifteen days, there would be a better chance for that corn bulge which all the stock yards is waiting for and betting on. Provisions were as dull to-day as the other its, The failure of Pinchofls showed that here were some shoestring operators in lard and ribs, I1is failure has dissipated the view that the deal in the provision pit was an Ar- mour one from top to bottom. On the afternoon board wheat was 'ic bet- ter. corn steady, pork higher but dull, lard and short ribs unchanged. Wheat for A\prll sold at e, May at’ Siyasl’e, June at wwmb.u-.

Sellers asked more money, buyers were not willlng to pay more, and trade in consequence did not open very actively.

L .u @5.75; light sorts sold at prlmo kers, i w\ki" .60; plgu, 3 light New Yonrg, Mareh 14.. to the Bei s—There was no un- certainty about the stock market to-day. The opening was rather strong and a few strong houses began buying Western Union and New England. The buying, however, was brief and the amounts of stock taken small, The general sentiment on the street ‘was bearish and the early bulge was seized on as a favorable opportunity to put out short stock. Everybody was a little fearful of tight money and as the market began to waver longs as well as shorts pressed the selling. ‘The market secmed to be entirely without support and before noon a break of 11t02 per cent had been scored throughout the entire list. A few of the fancies—like Richmond Terminal, Hocking Valley and cotton seed oll-—made sensational plunges downward, and the fear that the banks would call in loans on this class of securities Intensified the unensiness of the situation. Union Pacitic collapsed on the story that it had been discovered since the resignation of Manager Callaway that the floating indebted- ness of that company had been greatly in- creased, The actual news to effect prices 'was not unfavorable. 'The feeling on all for- eign exchanges was very strong and London ‘was a moderate buyer of American securities. It was thought that the Baitimore & Ohio deal was in a fair way of being consum- mated, which could not influence the market otherwise than favorable. At noon the mar- ket was very weak at 1 to 2 per cent under the opening. Sales to noon were 151,000 shares. Prices continued to drift lower until within an hour of the close of the market, when there wasa fractional rally, due to covering by shorts. Rates for money were bid up to 6 per cent., but later in the day it was offered at 34@4 per ceut. Ninety day loans were of- fered at 8 percent. The general feeling, how- eyer, was that the bears had it in their power to temporarily make money scarce, and in that event it would not be safe to be long ot stocks unless well protected with margins, GOVERNMENTs~Government bonds were duli but steady.

Nhhohu for March: The Karg gas-well was dis- covered in hl\dluy Smo, about fifty miles south of Toledo, on January 20, 1886. The gas was conducted forty-eight feet above the ground, through a six- inck iron pipe, and when lizhted the flnmcroselrumlwenl y to thirty feet above the mr 1t is difficult to exaggerate the magnificent and impressive effect of the burning well at night. The noise of the escaping gas is like the roar of Niagara. The whole town is brightly 1lluminated by the hg:n of the flame. made my visit to the well, one avanlng in February, 1886, snow covered ronsted | the ground to the depth of three or four inches; but for a distance of 200 yards in every direction, the heat of the flame had melted the snow from the ground, and grass and weeds had grown to two or three inches in helght. The crickets also scemed to have mistaken the season of | the year, for they were enlivening the night with their” cheerful song. The neighborhood of the well was also a r\rmflcc for tramps. I noticed one who ay soundly sleeping with his head in a barrel, and the rest of his body_ project- ing outward to receive the genial warmth from the flame high up in the air above. Cold as it was all around, he slept in per- fect comfort upon the turf in_the of pen air. ‘1here was no danger of his suffer- mz within that vll.lrmml cirele.
