MIR. William Young has only recently return
ed from New York, but he asserts that he
was not in consultation with the bull ring
there. However, the general opinion here IS
that this deal is merely part of the Keene,
Hatch and Hoyt combination. Mr.. Young's
last words to the reporter were: sOur
wheat is locked up to stay" The only ar
gument against regular corner is the fact
that there are but few short sellers here, the
line of shorts amounting to nothing.
Neither is there as yet ony disposition to
sell short on June, so that, technically, the
present deal is not a corner but is an effort
to manipulate higher prices. The afternoon
board closed quiet, as few cared to operate
in June.

til 1880 that wheat found its way intD
Mexico, and then only bv chance. A
slave of Cortez found few grains of
wheat in parcel OF rice and showod
them to his master, who ordered them
to be planted The result showed that
wheat would thrive we'll on Mexican soil,
and to day one Of the finest wheat valleys
in the world is near the Mexican capital.
From Mexico the cereal found its way
to Peru Mara d Escobar, vito Of Don
Diego de Chauves, carried few grains
to Lima, which were planted, the entire
product being used for several successive
