CHICAGO, Jan. . (Specidh.--At one minute
to-day the crowd IN the wheat pit thought cents such
exoronae price for May wheat that not OF them
would touch 1t, and at the next minute they all thought
the price astonishingly cheap that everybody in
the pit was scrambliug for IT, The cash wheat
Is well held, being in the hands OF
Armour Eggest0n, Poole, Sherman & Co.,
aud probably Hutchinson. They haVs all got their hold
sold foe May that the fact that the 10000
bushels OF wheat In their hands is ot aid To the
market They have really interest TO sus-
tain prices. Tho grain IL probably really
owned by the c0nntrymen, who are always
bulls and under all circumstances. There were
large blocks heId by the fOmgs at Milwaukee, and by
the Mcr5 at Minneapolis, but the ri sns that these
holders have iqudated Te market Is really badly
from speculative standpoint after decline
fore it. The only ball arguments must be crop disasters
here and abroad. An attempt made the other day
by KolesOn to bull lard. He took 10000 terces without
