CHICAGO, March So.-Ed Partridge, the
board of trade plunger, bought 1900, 900 BUSH
els of wheat today, and says he will now re-
tire from the market having no further in
terest in it. 1t might be thought that after
buying 100000 bushels of the article, he
would have very lively interest in the wheat
market, but as it was all short wheat-that
is, wheat which he had previously sold-his
purchases of today will go to the filling of his
sales and leave him even. The market was
very much agitated while Mr.. Pardridge's g
brokers were clamoring for his 4,000, 900 BUSH
els OF short wheat. Partridge said he was
very sick and would now give up speculating.
