As Fast AS May Went Up July Went
Down.
CHICAGO, May l0.-In twenty minutes to.
day on tho board of trade May wheat
buleed nearly three cents a bushol. from
1875 to 1888. The shorts became panic
stricken and fell over each other in their
anxiety to cover. The tumnlt was smpha-
sized by the fact that while May wheat was
going up July presented the phenomenon
of dropping at an alarming rate. The
rapid movements removed all doubt that a
corner is being run i'll May wheat and the
only subject OF uncertainty is the identity
of the oornerer. When the market opened it
was in nervous. apprehensive condition.
IL needed only match to touch il off and
the fire was supplied by representatives of
the northwestern milling interest buying
May in large quantities. Then retrogres-
sion in July began.
After the bulge a gradual decline took
place until At noon May sold at II and j uly
at 1875. ERaleston. the cash wheat mag
nate, Ia quoted as saying that the market
to- day negatived the report that y corner in
