CHICAGO, June 13.-This has been q
day Of excitement and wild rumors in
the Chicago pit. A reverse that looks
like Waterloo has come to the young
Napoleon of finance, Joseph Letter
At first there was a wild tumble of
prices on the board, July wheat selling
II cents from Saturdays close, while
September lost AS cents and Deem
Der 3B cents, but all made little re-
covery before the close 1t was given
out that Letter had ordered his deals
all closed, and that the selling rush
was the result Of the execution of this
order, accompanied as it was by a food
of runors concerning the stability of
the big bull movement, which for
months has been the important factor
in board of trade dealings One Of
these rumo1s was that Letter had been
deserted by some of his associates in
the campaign. In the meantime Lei
ter's wheat was being tumbled over
board, and prices had become demoral-
lied.
Later in the day Letter made no at

sold out all Of his holding in futures
probably 100000 or 100000 bushels
here. 1t came out that he had trans

ferred most Of his trades In futures to
other well-known houses, and that
whatever losses there were would fall
upon Letter. His cash wheat, one re-
port said, was transferred to Armour,
but a later story was that it would be
'trusteed' and handled in such a way
as to prevent the slump which would be
inevitable, If it were all thrown on the
market at once.
Before the final close the panic par
TALLY subsided and July reacted cents,
September selling up 1A cents, and
December making cents rally, selling
a shade above September, where it was
cent under Saturday.
PRINCIPALS WENT BACK.
None Of the principals in the Letter
crisis are willing to discuss the causes
which led to Letters abdication, and
the most plausible explanation that can
be offered at this time is therefore cir
! cumstantiaI and speculative.
The first Indication of approaching
/ dissolution in the Letter regime came
this morning when the announcement
was made that all his cash and June
wheat had been transferred by Allen,
Grier and Cellar, Letters brokers to
Philip D. Armour and that the Septem-
! Der option, of which Letter was heavy
holder, had been transferred to Lam
son Bros. These reported transactions
! gave rise to conjectures that soon de-
veloped into a panic.
At the outset it was rumored that
Letter was trying to get out Of the
market, but the fact that Allen, Grier
& Cellar had transferred their trades to
Lamson Bros, instead of selling out di-
rectly, aroused the suspicion that Letter
was hard pressed and was eTldeavoring
to dispose Of his immense holdings
without disclosing the causes of his
sudden withdrawal from the pit.
After the close Of business Saturday
millions of bushels of September wheat
puts were sold in the vicinity of 721ac,
Lamson Brothers apparently having
large orders for this line.
CLEVER RUSE.
Shortly before the opening of the
board of trade today brokers supposed
to be acting for Letter were ready sell
ers. The put" price was speedily
reached, and Letter, if the Lamsons
we're acting for him, was enabled to
dispose Of millions of wheat on the sale
of puts, whereas, if the actual wheat
had been sold in the market, there
would have been even a more severe
break. Had Allen, Grier & cellar
made the sales the street would have
suspected the ruse, but coming from
Lamson Brothers, there were no spe-
cial Indications as to the identity Of
the sellers. 1t is estimated that dur
