The Wichita daily eagle., 1897-12-22


er this morning. rather a disappointment
after our advance yesterday. Hence We
| opened en- y cent 10 begin with. But the
Dull clique mad been heavy sellers Of calls
Yesterday and they "a once started in 10
| ouy wheat. forcing the price up cent
| bushel. to 9iisc for May, at which point
the market received powerful resistance,
and for time the fight seemed interest
ing. and finally resulted in a victory for
the bears, and wheat declined 12sc. closing
right in puts. Clearances were light to-
day, being less than 500 coo bushels. Thus
far in the fight the bull clique have SEEM
ed TO have things their own way, but bull
ing wheat, especially MAY, is not Ike bull
on, and intelligent traders are not ready
to jump at the belief that manipulation
can force that option extremely high this
early IN the season. So far es foreign mar
kets are concerned they will not cut any
figure at present. We are clearly con-
fronted with a tyo-sided market and while
We shall not attempt 10 guess what the
December option will do in the hands OF
traders, We believe May wheat is a sale
on all these strong places, and while We
shall not be surprised TO see some dis
play in the direction of an upward move
ment In May, between this and the end OF
the month, We believe those who sell II
on strong places will make money Corn
was In sympathy with wheat today. Corn
should be bought on ali weak points. Pro-
visions were weaker today after yeSter-
days strength. We believe in buying this
product only on weak places.
