p. ID. Armour Making Millions on
Wheat.

Wheat has gone up 934 cents sin ce April s, and
the feeling on the Chicago BoBrd of Trade is that
p. d. Armour is at the head of big deal or cor
ner. Any estimate of the profits reaped by Ar
mour and his friends can only be con iectured. 1t
is pretty well known that he owns about 1900
600 bushels of wheat in Chicago elevator A alone.
1t is figured out by the brokers on the board that
Armour has long line of wheat to the extent
of possibly 50,0OOOOO bushels, and some estimate
his holdings in this way at lUOOO0,0O0 bushels.
Should the smaller of these estimates be correct,
his profits in the last three weeks approximate
$1,000 600. If the larger guess is right, he has
made by the advance SlO,COO,CO0 Every Monday
for three weeks has seen the price marked up,
and there is no sign of a reaction.

on reading the daily papers of that
city that the citizens are dickering
for the Sherman, Shreveport 4

this road is to give them terminal
grounds near the levee, at a cost
of $50, 1000, for which a levy will be
made of q mills per annum on the
city until the amount is paid.
Shreveport don't intend to stop
here for we see that Mr., e, S.
Hammond of Lake Charles, is there
looking for grounds for terminals
for the X. G, Watkins q Gulf road.
The people tell Mr., Hammond plain
ly that they have run to the end
of their tether 90 mills) the law
allows them to vote, and they can

him later by a private subscrip'
