"A HEAVY SPECULATION.
How Rufus Hatch Surprised the Grain Spe
ulatOrS.

How Rufus Hatch Surprised the Grain Spec
ulatOrs.
1t is not more than six months since a
well-known New York stock and produce
operator announced to his friends and
customers that no had become tired of
fighting Gould, Vanderbilt, Keene, Sage
and others had accumulated "kingly :"
fortune, and had determined to retire from
the speculative field at once. This an
nouncement was followed. by the selling of
his seat on the stock exchange, the dispO-
sitiOn of a large block Of Iron Steamboat
cOmpanys stock, his contest against the
Western Union consolidation, his defeat in
the courts, and his trip to Bermuda for
recreation. Nearly everybody believed
that this spccula.Or really intended to DO
"a man of leisure" in the future and
when he suddenly appeared Oh tile floor
of the New York produce exchange on
Wednesday, just as tho "call OH corn !"
opened, his face beaming with smiles, his
coat thrown open, exposing the indisponsa-
bic white waistcoat, looking not unlike Il
Texan ranger, with his broad -brimmed
white felt hat, he received the usual hilar-
iOus greeting which Rufus Hatch is SO well
accustomed to. AS each of his acquaint-
ances shook him by the hand, Mr.. Hatch
smacked his lips us much rs to say,
have something sweet in store for YOU"
A large number had understood that he
had peculiar views as to the market, and
that ho advised "people who have money
to place it in the bank" Mr.. Hatch was
not inclined to be offended at the sarcasms
or the broad jokes with which he was
greeted, but seemed rather to take them
good -naturcdly rs compliments.
When " September option was called,
Mr.. Hatch stood blandly by and kept close
watch on the bidders. The nominal price
was GO cents, but when tho bids reached
59aa Mr.. Hatch nodded to tho call-clerk to
sell. Tho members then nudgcd each
other and remarked : "Now we'll sec
whom he's selling for" The calLclcrk
asked :" What's the name % Mr.. Hatch
in stentorian voice, Rufus
HATCH" This caused 4 little commotion
and surprise. As the call proceeded Mr..
Hatch continued to sell until he had
actually sold 2SS, 900 bushels of tho total
transactions of the call, which mounted to
AS, 900 bushels. He sold so freely that
the market declined from One-fourth to
three -eighths of a cent bushel, and the
general inquiry was, Il wonder what that
bear is up to? The response was,
" Oh, he's selling short to enforce tho
theory that grain must be lower to COM
pare with low freights." Mr.. Hatch left
the floor, finally, his countenance beaming
with apparent satisfaction that he had
d" fooled the boys again." The facts are
that he had sold actual property and had
made between $1,000 and $1,000 on the
turn. The trading was the heaviest
known in September options " for many
