Periodical Battle Between Chicago Bulls
and Bears---The Windy City Il Just Now
the Greatest Source OF supply.
CHICAGO, April 23.-The advance In
the price Of wheat, which began last
week, going higher each day with
leaps and bounds, continued It's sensa-
tional career Monday on the board OF
trade. When trading began there was
wild scramble for wheat, July being
the favorite option. In ten minutes
the price had reached go, which was
&c over the closing price Of Saturday.
The action Of the bears in selling lot
at csc had the effect OF checking the
advance, and there was reaction to
Gee. The market huctuated between
these two points for some time
The wheat pit was jammed with
brokers who held buying orders
Every body wanted wheat In a hurry.
The reason is that Just now Chicago is
the greatest source of supply. The
world must look TO this city for its
wheat. In the elevators are stored 90
100000 bushels OF wheat. There Is
comparatively little grain at other
points, and except the 5000, 900
bushels in store at New York, there
is no wheat on the American seaboard.
There is little afloat 10 foreign mar
kets, and the millers Of the northwest
are buying the wheat that is stored at
other points at higher prices than II
can be sold for here. The foreign
traders knew OF the immense quantity
Of wheat In store here. but had the
mistaken idea that they could buy It
at their own price any time they want
cd it The Chicago owners of the 20,-
600, 600 bushels, however, have ample
capital TO hold their property until
they can get a suitable price for 1t.
The furry Monday was not the re-
suit Of the rushing Of shorts
to cover, because little Of the
business was done by the lead
ing bears or their brokers. There was
a sudden and general demand for
wheat, and no one seemed ready TO
supply it. The trading was so fast and
furious that the pit presented panicky
scene, and II was estimated that twen-
ty minutes from the opening more
than 100000 bushels of wheat
changed hands
Ed Pardridge, who is said TO be short
1900, 900 or 5000, 900 bushels of wheat,
did not seem worried over the sharp
advance, although the first hours trad
ing meant a loss Of 500, 900 TO him.
His brokers did no buying for his ac-
count, 1t is said, although Rosenkranz,
who usually does business for the
plunger, took In l5o, 600 bushels,
Armour & Co make an enormous
profit by the advance, as this firm is
credited With owning 5000, 900 Of the
26,oO0,0oO bushels In local elevators.
Wheat has jumped seven cents since a
week ago, and at that rate their win
nings amount 10 ss4O. 600 w. I. Baker
is also said 10 be heavy winner.
