CHICAGO, Nav 26.-Waking up 10 hnd
the hotel afire, was about the experience OF
the pork trade to-day. The September
price opened at $50 So. 1t was two hours
Slowly getting up 10 cents to SCI 90. Then
without particle of warning IL was less
than five minutes getting TO $33 GU, phe-
nomenal lump of 81 barrel. Tho selling
of about 600 barrels at this figure stopped
the runaway market and In fifteen minutes
the price was back to 500 80. The close
was at S22 30, or 81 30 up from the opening.
This remarkabls action is but fash in the
deal which has quietly tied up all the con-
tract pork in sight and will release nothing
except at great punishment to the shorts.
The scslpers have been filing the chairs
but fighting shy of the pit ever since May
l. To venture in on either the buying or
the selling side has been 70 get nipped soon
or or later Prices have been so fancy that
the temptation was great TO sell short and
place stop loss orders 81 or more above the
market. Those who were led into tempta-
ton wore wild to be delivered to-day, when
shorts bid for pork-no one without 1t dare
sell. Those with the pork, the clique, would
not sell il. Prices went CSC to SOC at Jump
between trades and the S23 mark was
quickly reached Only small lots were
wanted and the trade was not heavy. The
product may apparently go to S25 or $50 as
well, for il seems TO be cornered Tor all It's
worth. Conditions seemed to strongly IA
vor the selling side Of the wheat market
and much of the local talent was engaged
in the effort to force decline. Gables we're
weaker and failed to bring any crop calam-
ity. Domestic markets were all on the
down grade, while primary receipts were
heavy. The Australian failure and the as
signment Of ex-Secretary Foster increased
the apprehension, but active covering oy

in pork sent wheat up during the last hour,
