SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.
Belief That New Wheat syndicate
Has Been Formed.


SAN FRANCISCO, May 31st.
Wheat started in with crash this morning.
The fact that the syndicate wheat had been
sold seemed to lead traders to favor selling.
December opened at 81 O31s. as compared
with 81 05ss at close Wednesday, A surprise
was in store for the shorts. McGlautiin &
Co., Newman and A. a. Alder started TO buy
ing all the crowd would sell. Prices were
soon back to 81 Oh, in the face of declining
markets in the East and lower cables. from
general appearances new syndicate has
been formed which does not appear afraid OF
Wheat at present prices. There is quite
fair-sized short interest In the market when
would like to cover ii opportunity afforded
itself. Reports OF rust are being received py
prominent houses In the street. Whlle the
damage so far is not very much, yet there re-
mains plenty OF time for further damage.
The argument entertained regarding the
probable effect upon Wheat when the syn
dictate holdings were disposed of was that the
purchasers would sell December as "a hedge
against their holding. The parties who now
own the wheat are not tenderfeet.
The produce markets were all firm this
morning in the way OF Fresh Fruit and Vege-
tables Cherries alone were weakly inclined.
Potatoes and onions are cheap. Poultry Is
quiet. Dairy produce unchanged.
