A SQUEEZE IN OATS.

uEVED ODE CORNERED.
Yo7Dg Letter Said tn BE Master Ct the
Trade-Has 100000 Bushels ON
His Hands-Shorts Expected to Pay
Dearly.

CHICAGO. Dec 27.-Friday, which
will witness the close Of the great
Letter deal in wheat on the board of
trade, bids fair to prove a memorable
day in the trade No great excite
ment is expected IN the wheat pit, but
In oats squeeze of shorts may occur.
It is believed that Mr.. Letter has
been turning trick on ti:e trade in
oats, while every boly vas watching
wheat For weeks The oats pit has
been Practically deserted. Last week
there was disagrceab!e surprise to
the men who had sold 100000 bush
els of oats for December delivery
when the y learned that no oats were
being delivered. Then they awoke to
the fact that in all the Chicago cle-
vators oats measured but CSC. 900
bushels of the contract grades.
1t was Wednesday when the dis
covery was made. The price of De-
cember oats was then 2jSs cents. On
Friday the market closed at e2M
cents. A cent advance in oats is as
good as or ) cents IN wheat. It is
too late to rush in a supply TO meet
the calls which will be made for the
grain at the close of business on Fri
day. Those who have not delivered
the grain according to contract will
be called upon to settle at the closing
prices. The situation has all the ele-
ments of squeeze.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Dec eI-There
is talk among steel men of a further
extension of the scope of the new
wire trust It is now said that efforts
will be made to induce all the steel
billet mills in the country to ally
themselves with the trust, not as
members. but as contributors. The
trust will seek to induce the manufac-
turers of billets to promise not to sell
to wire manufacturers that may pos
sibly start outside of the trust, and
in return the trust will promise to
take billets from all these manufac-
turers as it may need them The OBJ
ject of this is to keep the billet max
ers in q good humor and prevent their
going into the wire business them
