WHEAT $l.95. IN CHICAGO.
A Hint From Germany to the French.
Narrow Escape Of the Princess Of Wales

Ne,OS will say of the remarkable ad-
vance in September wheat, to-day:
1t is the outcome of a corner in that
option by B. 81. Hutchinson who has
been buying all the September wheat
offered lately. As only three days re-
NAMED for the shorts to settle their
trades in, they went into the pit this
morning and began to bid against
each other with the result that the
price mounted rapidly. When it
reached $1.25 Hutchinson sent the
| shorts word that he had wheat to
sell. They hocked to his Office where
he disposed of $4,000 bushels at
S1.95 in very short time. He then,
after telling those of the shorts still
waiting wheat that it would go to
two dollars within week, went away
to his club, leaving instructions with
his brokers to sell the shorts all the
wheat they wanted at $l95, or buy
all they would sell at $l4. There is
| suspicion that Hutchinson has also
most of the December wheat, and in
consequence that option went up to
one dollar.
