Keene Has Nothing to Say About It.
NEW YORK, March S.-Mr. James r. Keene,
the grain operator, was down at his private
Office In Broad street this morning, hut denied
himself to all callers and refused TO receive any
messages In reference TO the recent forgery
perpetrated on him. 1t could not be learned
whether Mr.. Keene had offered a reward for
the discovery OF the forger and his associates
Matters appeared to be quiet at the produce
exchange this morning.
PROMINENT WHEAT OPERATOR SAID
that yesterday, when word was received al the
exchange here OF large sale OF wheat at Chi
cago, the market declined from / cent to IL
cents per bushel In the morning, but returned
to It's original figure In the afternoon. He said
II was No. spring wheat that was sold in Chi.
cago, ana that the quality it affected here was
NO. red winter. he did not suppose the wheat
market would be affected to-day SO far II had
been quiet, but firm and steady. Prices to-day
were:-N0. red winter, lis; No. 2 amber lI5L
to III cash; March, 115a1a116ss; April, lie
bid ana III asked; and for MAY, lis.
He thought 1t very strange that the message to
Fisher should have been sent at night &C half
rates. This was enough, he said, to have
aroused any persons suspicious, and Mr. Fisher
was to blame for not further Investigating the
matter before selling the wheat. He expressed
his suspicious that probably there was some lob
lurking oeh1nd the whole affair, but what thai
J0o was he was not prepared to say. Other
grain operators expressed views OF similar
character. Nothing could be learned about the
telegram at all at the Atlantic and Pacific tele
graph oifice, as the oficials were reticent In re-
gard to ft.
