He Is said to Have o.oOO.o 900
Bushels or HE wheat Stock
CHICAGO, Feb. 19.-ARents Of Joseph Letter
sent May wheat kiting during tho last hour or
two OF tho session in the wheat pit to-day. It
went sailing to $1.O9. and after various huotu-
atoms closed at 81 .O6. July was sent from ssA
TO 92lo. q rise of So cents.
Letters trump card was played when 1t
dawned upon the bears that he had marketed
something in the neighborhood Of 6.o00.o 900
bushels, and that he had at least a dollar or
more for every bushel paid to him within tho
past week. Letter did not contradict the report
when asked about 1t. but said
"well. that's about right. but they haven't
paid in for all of 1t ret"
Aside from the knowledge that Letter 10 ship
ping his wheat abroad as fast as the railroads
can carry 1t to the seaboard. the most important
piece Of news obtained at Letter headquarters Is
that the Northwest Is absolutely dry Of cash
wheat.
A telegram lying on Letters desk told tho
story in unequivocal terms. 1t gave the result
OF several weeks campaigning among farmers
and other supposed holders OF wheat in the
Northwest, and showed that the yield barely
reached 100 cars OF wheat.
When 1t is considered that Letters brokers
ran a race with Armour's men for all available
cash wheat. and sent instructions to bid 8 and
4 cents over the offerings of Armour. It 10 quito
certain that under such circumstances all wheat
not contracted for in tho Northwest came out Of
hiding. Indeed, 1t said on good authority that
Armour's quest for cash wheat in tho spring
wheat section was even more discouraging.
This probably will set at rest all flying rumors
OF the amount of wheat which still remains In
farmers hands.
On a great part of the wheat sold by Letter he
has cleared d cents a bushel. and ON some
oven more. 1t Ia estimates that his profit so
far on his wheat deals has reached the two
million mark. and no is still on the make.
With the news from Chicago of q rapid I'D.
vance in the wheat market, there, a sensational
up turn In prices occurred in the local wheat
market Yesterday. The Nay wheat future;
q .oos. the closing price on Friday. Jumped TO
noon. and later on the curb went up further to
$1.0ils, though in the final curb dealings not all
OF this Improvement was retained.
The July future, which had closed on Friday
at 93 cents u bushel, opened at 921 contB and
advanced to 05 cents. the official closing price
atnoon, later going up further to 87l9 cents on
the curb.
