northwest were about 20 cars more than
the same day last year. Foreigners were
said 10 be good buyers today. and LIVER

political complicatio Should Letter start

unless they do. we feel that wheat should
be sold on the strong places. Il is eS1i-
mated that the vessel enga gements OF corn
since the close OF navigation exceed 3,0o0,-
009 bushels. We feel friendly 20 the long
side OF corn. Provisions were slightly
stronger today, in spite Of very liberal r.
ceipts or hogs. The excellent foreign de-
mand Is probably the prime cause OF hold
ing provisions up. We feel that those who
load up with the product on weak places
and don't become discouraged. should the
market go against them, viii have their
patience rewarded after a little by nice
profits.

and she but fifty minutes later. Ap-
poplexy caused his death. Mrs. Chap

Chicago, Ill, Dec. 23.-In the wheat pit
on the board of trade, the great game be-
ing played between the clique represented
by Joseph Letter and the elevator people
under the lead of p. D. Armour seems TO
be shifting from December to May. There
was more wheat, so pounds to the bushel
and every pound calling for money, pre-
sented to Mr.. Letters attention. Charter
ing of vessels to take out large amount
OF grain was believed to indicate that the
elevator people had some 100000 bushels
mere wheat, or so near that, it was time
to make room for IL. What the Clique IS
to do with all this wheat has become of
vital Importance to vessel men and to the
elevators thesmelves. On that point il was
certain that nobody yet knows what is
to become of the accumulation Of wheat
after the tap of the bell on December 81.
Within ten days since the close of nav-ga
tion on the lakes about 1000, 600 bushels of
grain have been taken out of the Chicago
elevators and loaded into vessels. Vessel
men never experienced such a rush to get
grain into the winter feet. Nearly sixty
boats are already loaded with grain. The
aggregate capacity of the winter fleet .s
not over 100000 bushels and thus before
the last vessel of the season had reached
its dock at Buffalo, a third of the fleet
here had been taken care of.
The rush for boats came to an end dur
ing the day. Agents did not find anybody
who wanted to load grain into their ves>
sells. They at once came 10 the conclu-
sion that the elevator capacity represent
ed by the 100000 bushels taken out was
about what the elevator people expected to
fill largely with wheat before the end of the
=
going into the boats will fill about half
the vacant room. This will leave room for
about 100000 bushels more grain and VIII
be taken to be a certain indication of the
amount the elevator expected to bring in
before the end of December.

Chicago, Dec. 23.-The possibility that
Letter and Armour will pool their interests
is stirring traders on change.
The Post says:
George French, operating for the Letter
crowd, has piled up line Of at least A.
C00,Ooo bushels of May wheat, according to
reports from the floor. Armours radical
change of front in bulling May wheat is
coming TO knowledge. 1t is equally wei
known that Armour has a pyramid of May
wheat bought which is supposed to come
close to the Letter holding. AS IL to en-
phas:ze the bull talk both Armour's and
Letters men bought wheat today. Ar
mour's movements are closely ve:led but
Letters engineers make no secret of their
dealings in May wheat Already that op-
ton is regarded at being as dangerous for
the public TO handle as stove lid at white
heat May wheat is a long shot, IS the
answer given by commission men when ap-
preached by customers. The winter wheat
crop in this country is not harvested until
July and according to the forecasters on
change the situation has never been so IA
vorable for a corner in May wheat as 1t
will be this season. Everywhere the price
of May is on the rise and the difference
