tiOns.


San Francisco, March 1.-THE panic
in wheat, which sent up the quotations
yesterday from S1.1O to $1.151s for May
delivery, appeared, this morning, to
have entirely subsidized. The highest
offer on the board, this morning, was
$1.10, with nobody to buy at that price
The disinclination to trade may, how
ever, have been in a measure due to the
fact that business in many of the Off
.ces is suspended owing to the celebra-
ton of st. Patrick's day, which took
place at the Midwfnter fair grounds.
At the close of the call yesterday, the
directors of the exchange reduced the
marginal price of May wheat from Sill
to $1.05. L. W. McGlauflin & Co., the
chief operators in yesterdays deal,
have made a statement refusing to be
governed by the action of the directors
of the call board as applied to their
contracts. The firm has, however, de-
posted with the produce exchange GER
tilted checks covering the amount of
their transactions
The directors of the exchange refuse
to receive McGlaufin 6, Co.'S check,
which amounts to 100000. 1t is stated
that the rules of the exchange will
compel McGlauflin & Co to make good
their contracts on Monday next or be
sold out"
