He BROKE WHEAT DEAL
When Bieelow, the Milwaukee Bank
Defaulter, Sold His Big Holdings
It Was All Over.

Minneapolis, Mimi. April 29.-Carry-
ing long line of wheat till his own and
his banks resources were exhausted,
+. G. Bigelow, the Milwaukee banker,
let go just IN time to bust" the Gates
corner beyond repair.
This is the latest development in the
aftermath of the great battle in wheat.
1t indicates that the great smash was
not expected by the men who were
manipulating the market A Gates
Armour conference had been held in
Chicago Gates had not abandoned the
deal, but was girding up for the fight
of his life.
Preliminary to the final battle a
"shakeout" was arranged. At the bot
tom Of the "shakeout" the great line of
wheat carried by Bigelo&, unknown to
any one but his confidential brokers,
was loosened. Face to face with ruin,
unable to carry over his heavy COM
mittment, Bigelow had to let go. Mil
lions of bushels from this unknown
source came upon the market. Quar-
rels broke out between the principal
manipulators. Gates, in stormy ses-
sion, accused his friends of secretly
selling out on him, and they in turn
suspected him of duplicity.
Against all attempts to check it, the
wheat poured out. Turning at last,
Gates threw his final load upon the
market and smashed it entirely. Then
came the Bigelow crash. the run on the
First National bank of Milwaukee, and
the secret was out.
Gates in a Bad Rage.
A Chicago man here today says the
second meeting of the Chicago party
was stormy and acrimonious beyond
description. Stirred by insinuations,
Gates was beside himself with passion.
His fathers illness and death had put
him under a great strain and this. with
the weight of his wheat, was enough
to break down an ordinary man. 1t
had been agreed in former secret con-
ference that the market should be per-
mitted to sag off cents, pending the
return of Gates to the board of trade.
This. it was expected. would free the
market from the small holders, and
make it possible for Gates to work his
final move.
When the market went below the
level expected, and nothing could rally
it. nine men met by hurry call, and
glared at one another.
Gentlemen" said Gates, IT have
been accused of many things, but honor
