He Retires From the Wheat Pit on
Account of Ill Health.

Chicago, March 30.-Edward Partridge,
the millionaire plunger in the wheat pit,
of the board of trade. and the most con-
spicuous figure in the speculative line
since the days of "Old Hutch" bought
100000 bushels of wheat to-day, and says
he will now retire from the market, having
no further interest in it. He said that
he was a sick man physically and would
have to give up specializing. His appear
ance bore out his statement as to his
i'll health. His buying of such an i'm
mense 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 637sc to 645sc a bushel, while
the retiring plunger's brokers were clam
oring for his 100000 bushels of short
wheat. When they had secured all they
wanted, the price dropped to 63Ac.
