PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, February ls.-The wheat pit
was the centre of interest on the Board OF
Trade to-day. The dealings were accompa-
MED by good deal of excitement and much
nervousness, with prices ranging at deci-
ded advance. A very influential factor IN
the bullish situation for time was the
published statement that the market was
in the control OF bull clique, with Stand
ard Oil, the nitrate beds and the bonanza
billions at its command. There were other
causes of strength, however. Gables were
strong and higher. The weather, too, was
threatening, q cold wave being expected 70

WORKING A BIG DEAL.
Rockefeller and Other Mnlionaires Pr

Rockefeller and Other Millionaires Pre-
pairing to Corner the Wheat Market.
CHICAGO, February 1s.-The Tribune
says there are strong indications that
the wheat marke. is being manipulated
and intimates that j. ID. Rockefeller, OF
the Standard Oil Company, James t.
North, The Nitrate King" and John
w. Mackay, the Bonanza millionaire,
are back Of it. The paper claims that
sales OF wheat on the Chicago Board of
Trade alone aggregate 20, 900, 900 to so,
600, 600, whereas there are less than 40,
900, 900 of actual wheat in the West,
leaving about 100000 900 bushels which
are really wind sales and must be cover
ed at whatever price the market touches.
But this is not all. Similar short
sales have been made in all the princi-
pal markets in this country and in
Liverpool 1t is asserted that the a.
legged combination OF multi-millionaires
sent agents abroad and secured accur-
ate information as to the real shortage
in the crop and as early as the middle
of December began to quietly pick up
all of the wheat offered, working
through comparatively unknown brok-
ers and traders who were accustomed
to deal in small lots, and that they thus
without attracting attention secured
absolute control of the market. Whether
or not the price will be put to a high
figure is known only 10 the clique.

fessionals Of note that there would
surely be a tournament in Chicago dur
ing the fair, and that il would be the
