CHICAGO, April GA sensational bulge
of over dollar barrel for pork occurred
on Change here to-day. There was gen.
eral panic among the shorts In the commo-
dity. 1t was lively day in the pit from
start to finish, and Armour's brokers COM
bined in whooping things mp. Several days
ago September delivery was about Slf per
barrel. It has been forced steadily up till
the last raise of dollar brought the price
up nearly to $50 The talk Of the cliques is
getting tiresome, but the facts seem to show
that CLIQUE has got hold of the September
pork market and it is a clear case OF come
TO the captains Office and settle. Now the
short sellers are probably wondering how
they got in on the wrong side of the market
again, while the mewhat celebrated
Charlie Wright is pluLg their settlements
away in canvas sacks. Wright gets credit
for engineering the corner, but is said Z.
d. Armour has had finger in the pie and
the trio Of Cudahys are supposed also to be
interested. 1t was case OF whipsaw IN
the wheat market. There was good liqui-
dation in May and July during the greater
part OF the morning, and as there was no
special support prices gradually declined
and May sold at lower figure than at any
previous time. There was good selling by
the largest traders through brokers and
buying openly. The selling overbalanced
the effect of the "bullish" influences until
the crowd got short on the break, when the
arrival Of a lot Of bad crop reports from
Kansas started the crowd to buying and
prices advanced TO the opening figures. In
corn there was continued selling pressure
on May on the market, good deal of which
was apparently for country holders.
At the decline there was better demand.
The market ruled steady and closed with
La1<o gain. The most important business
in oats was in the way of changing from
the near to the distant futures. The mar
ket closed steady, nearly at yesterdays
prices. Flour steady. Wheat, cash, No. 2
