Yesterdays Chicago Times-Herald says:
The local crowd Is still of the opinion that
Kaufman is one of the important July
wheat shorts. and believes that the drive
made at the St. Louis market yesterday
was by him in order to make things easier
here. There was no sensational incident to
the July deal except the sharp advance.
There were no further transfers by the bull
commission houses. either to Armour or 10
anyone else. There were, however. palmer
signs of generalship in behalf of the bulls
in July than on any day so far. The signs,
too. were all of Armour Eeneralship. There
was no halting or hesitation. Everybody
was kept bewildered, but as the market de-
veloped 1t showed that every move was at
the direction of someone trained in pet
methods. Wheat for July was on top at
1lgc for an hour. and IT was offered so
freely even the shorts who bought it want
ed to get rid of IL again just as soon as they
had taken II. on the little decline which
followed. every house which had been such
free sellers at 1i2c were buyers again. The
deal was kept lively. Some shorts unques-
tionably got out. but II IS doubtful II the ag-
Crecate short interest was reduced during
the day.
