PLUNGED ON WHEAT.
An Unknown California Magnate Stands

An Unknown California Magnate Stands
to Lose a Full wilton Dollar.
SAN Francisco, Sept. lj.-Somebody
stands to lose Il million dollars on
wheat. and San Francisco grain men
are wondering who it is. For months
L. f. Mclaughlin bought wheat for
some unknown Spectator until he had
accumulated between rs, 900 and 200 =
600 tons for which he paid an average
price of Sl.2O per GENITAL. At present
prices ne cannot realize within thirty
five cents of as much as he paid
per GENITAL for this immense quantity
OF wheat. 1t is said by grain dealers
here that ex- Senator James G. Fair is
the only man on the coast who has
enough ready money to back Nc
Glaughlin in such big deal and it
now looks as if he had made an error
in his calculations that will involve
the loss Of 81, 900 900. When McGlaugh-
lin began to buy last winter wheat
was never before so low. Under the
stimulus of big purchases the price
went up but it soon fell and wheat is
now lower than ever. 1t is calculated
that there are at present between 500,
900 and 100000 tons of wheat in the
state that a market must be found for.
All this wheat must be shipped out
of the country and ship owners are
holding back for high charters.
