One rather curious feature Of the wheat
market was that May, June, July and
August al sold At j5sc az the same time
he 6rmness Of May was attributed 20 the
fact that late decline caused g.
large short selling and frightened
shorts to-day, covered With come

an attempt would be- made 70 lower May,
but this is early 20 talk about anything Of
this kind, the main bull point In the large
dlearances Of late, stu May at one time
to-day sold at q slight premium over
June There seems TO be considerable
short interest In wheat here. For the first
time, May would not reg freely this

next visible supply will show decrease l
Of 1000, 900 bushels.

Speculation In the share list started out
brilliantly early In the week, and for Il
time there was quite bull market, but
later on the whole aspect Of the situation
changed, chiefly on account OF labor
troubles, which have become serious and
spread beyond the limits TO which they :
had previous been confined. The rate ]
trouble at the West, stories about cutting
on the Eastern trunk lines, which
latter were subsequently denied, and the {
fresh Issue OF bonds b7 the Chicago &
Northwestern Railway company also
tended 10 depress the market. II

vance Of l@24 points In the .peclalties,
