sAN FRANCISCO, June %, 1897.
Chicago.
The week closes with a record OF great excite
ment in wheat. Not that prices have at any time
scared beyond reasonable limits, but from the fact
that the shorts who have controlled The price OF
wheat for the past four or five months, have lost
their commanding power and are themselves in q
hole dug by themselves. They in a position
where any effort upon their part to cover would
send prices uD at alarming rate
So far the smaller shorts have teen the ones to
acknowledge their defeat and come into camp as
best they could.
The exceedingly small stocks abroad have been
known to the trade In the face Of this, reckless
short sellers have tried foIce natural conditions
into hose of unnatural, The fiatJering prospects
a. home have led many to favor the short SIDE OF
wheat Conservative commission houses, who
were advising their customers to sell Septembei
wheat. have entirely changed front, and are
strongly advising purchases.
The one controAIng influence to-day was the
good buying OF cash wheat at New YORK, Boston
and Baltimore for the Cont nsnt.
Paris reported wheat strong and in good de-
mand. Buyers seemed alarmed. reported dam
age 10 the Russian and Damn bian wheat Iop also
helped the MARKET. Conditions appear changing.
Speculation is enlarging.
Outsiders were no small factors in to-day's mar.
keL July was the star option 1t opened at 7214C
and advanced to 74c during the first fifteen n
utes of the session. The advance WAS 100 rapid
enough wheat TO break the price back TO 7214
Another spurt of strensth appeared about II
O'Clock. working July up TO 1890. At the close
an easier feeling prevailed; the lrlce was nomin
ally 723sc
tue surprise of all but insiders came The
strength in Septem Der, advancing from 646sc tC
SEC. This reflected conditions abroad as Decem
Der was not SLOW in following in the wake OF sep
tember shorts we're inclined TO look upon the adj
vance not conducive 10 their welfare. I he adj
vance was well maintained TO the close.
1t is well known that q very short interest exists
in September Should foreigners continue TO buy
wheat on this side The squeeze may be as great In
that option as In July.
Armour Claims there is no corner in July. The
market is a natural one from supply and de-
mand Standpoint, and that If corner run the
shorts Will have maze H. Lively times appear IO
be in the near future.
