The wheat deal which closed June
80, is in many respects the most re-
markable operation In grain that was
ever engineered in this country. The
combination on the "long" side was Or
ganized early last May, and was the ma
tural outgrowth of the Keene purchase
of 3,0OO,G GOO bushels last fall. Possessed
of almost unlimited capital, it went in
to the market, and in addition to buying
all the options offered for May and
June, secured the control of al the
cash wheat that was offered. The stocks
in Milwaukee, Buffalo, and New York
were also purchased, and to-day there
is not bushel Of No. 2 spring whea. in
sight in this country or afoat for Eu-
rope that does not belong to the combi-
nation. The options were brought at
an average price of 81 cents per busheI,
and the gl eat bulk of them were settled
at about $l.0391.04, although at the
close clearings were made at 1069(0107
The profits on the deal must foot up in
the neighborhood of $I,000,0O0. The
mbination insist that they made no
attempt to work a corner; they bought
the wheat on its merits, and confidently
believe that i will sell for at least 81 25
before any of the crop will be harvest
ed Few will be found to sympathize
with the "bears" in their enormous
losses, for the reason that for two sue
cessive seasons they have discredited
and deprecated the crop, and are now
simply called upon to shell out what
properly and honestly should have lined
the pockets of the producer.-Ch Chicago
