care by the authorities of the Mexican
city and was of the >hort-horn variety.
The same animal had OBVIOUSLY APP

Spanish bull-fighters and was as a con-
sequence a fierce antagonist. 1t is

Joseph Letter.
Chicago, Feb. 21.-It Is pretty well
established In inside. circles about the
Board of Trade that within the past
ten days there has been turned Into
cash In two Chicago banks on La Sale
street about se,oco,eoo for Joseph Lett
er's account. This Is the most crafty
ing feature OF the big wheat deal that
has yet come TO light. 1t means. when
confirmed. as II soon will be by other
events. that the big end of the great
Letter wheat holdings has been sold
for cash. The hint Of this financial re-
turn comes from people with confiden-
tial relations with the banks. Their
information was but little more than
hint from the people who saw the pa
per made in exchange for the wheat.
This prevents the use Of names In this
connection.
There are many proofs that the
wheat sales representing the $4,000. 900
have been made. The public will re-
member that about two weeks ago Mr..
Letter and Mr.. French very quickly
changed tactics and stopped giving out
q word on cash wheat business. They
had been very laxative up to that time.
II as believed that the foreign buyers
put this restriction on the sellers OF
the wheat to protect their interests on
the other side. The giving out of the
business would have depressed the
English markets at a time the buyers
wanted strength over there to resell to
advantage. There Is later confirmation
of the sale of the wheat. Within forty
eight hours ocean tonnage has been
taken at a very low rate on 100000
bushels, perhaps 100000. to the lead
| ing English ports.
Letter displayed his trump card Sat-
| urday and played It, When 1t dawned
| upon the trade that Letter had mar
| keted much OF his 100000 bushels OF
| cash wheat abroad. May wheat was Sent
| up from $1.03h a bushel to $1.09 with
| such swiftness that II took away the

on the floor and the situations which
bordered sometimes on the dramatic

third floor Of the board building. Checks
for hundreds Of thousands Of dollars
were as common as snowfiakes AM
small figures were scorned.
