GOOD FOR TIE FARMERS.

Chicago, Dec. 22.-The wheat deal be-
tween Phil Armour and Joseph Letter,
son of l.. z. Letter, of Washington, was
one of the biggest transactions of this
character that has marked the his
tory of the Chicago board of trade.
Shrewd operators estimate that Letter
has contracted for 100000 bushels,
and that as only G,ooo,ooo have been de-
livered and only 100000 or 100000
more are in sight there is sure to be a
pyrotechnic display. 1t is pointed out
that the big deal, whether by artificial
or natural means, has resulted in ex-
ceptional prosperity for the farmers.
In order to meet the Letter contracts
agents of Armour have secured the
country, cash in hand, and paid out to
farmers millions Of dollars. The wheat
thus bought has commanded an aver
age price of 80 cents bushel.
