Ed Partridge Retires.

Chicago, March 30.-Ed Partridge, the
millionaire plunger in the wheat pit of
the board of trade and the most conspic-
uous figure in the speculative line since
the days of "Old Hutch" bought 100000
bushels of wheat today, and says he will
now retire from the market, having no
further interest in it. He said he was
sick man physically, and would have to
give up speculating. His appearance
bore out his statement as to his i'll health.
His buying of such an immense line of
wheat was merely,to cover his short sales,
so that he could quit the market even.
The market in consequence was very
much agitated, and the price rose from
63hc to 64ssc bushel while the retiring
plunger's brokers were clamoring for his
1000, 900 bushels of short wheat. When
they had secured all they wanted the
price dropped to 63Ac.

noon. The Mckinley faction controlled
the convention and succeeded in naming
ten delegates to district and state con-

Louis from the Second Congressional dis
trict OF Virginia.
Charlottesville Va, March 30-The

today elected Mckinley delegates to the
state convention. Six of the thirteen del
egates are negroes. A committee first re-
ported the names of two negroes as dele
gates, when big kick resulted. The
report was recommitted with the above
result.
A special to the Dispatch shows that in
the republican county conventions held
today to elect delegates to the district
and state conventions Mckinley is the ia
vorite in Campbell, Rockingham, Nanse-
mond, Southampton, Middlesex, Hanover
and Richmond counties. In Fairfax the
majority of the delegates are reported
