Made the Biggest Fortune That
Was Ever Taken From
the Market.
BEAT OLD HUTCH IN FUTURES.
On Ore Occasion the Absence Of His
Wife Prevented His Utter
Ruin.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 17.-Edwin Par
bridge of the Board of Trade firm of c. w.
& L. Partridge, the reigning king OF
plungers in the wheat pit, died this morn
ing at his Prairie-avenue residence from
Bright's disease after an acute illness of ten
days.
He was go years of age. He leaves a
widow and five children. He lost for
tune year and half ago and was COM
PEELED to sell a State-street store building
for $3.50, 900 to provide himself with ready
money after he had scraped together
several hundred thousand dollars to keep
pace with the rising wheat market.
The plunger determined to hypothecate
his real estate, which was worth several
millions of dollars, but fortunately for him
his wife was in Europe and mortgages
were valueless as collateral without her sig
nature. This chance saved him from utter
ruin.
His gains in one year we're estimated by
conservative operators at 81, 500, 900 and his
losses in memorable squeezes were from
$500, 600 to $780, 600. He was always a bear
speculator.
In one hour he was short $4,000, ,00C
bushels of wheat, and there were many
anxious faces IN the pit. The market rose
3. s and 10 cents. hut the napoleon of the
bears stood out on the greater part of his
5000, 900 bushels. He predicted q rapid
decline of the bolstered market, and il
came so quickly there was no cover left for
the bulls. The fortune he made thereby
was the biggest that one man had ever
taken from the market.
During the Worlds Fair he sold % 000, :
600 bushels OF wheat without having one
bushel to deliver, and he beat "Old Hutch
in gambling on the future price.
