SHORTS CLEANED UP.
Wheat Corner Came as Surprise to
Chicago Operators.


Chicago.-The wheat squeeze
which developed on Thursday was
the cleanest-cut of any corner in
years. In a vague way there was
known to be a short interest, but
that some particular individual or
clique had secured the long side was
undreamed of. The traders in control
are said to have held about 100000
bushels, while the scattered short
interest ran between 100000 and
10, 900, 900, according to the average
expert guess in the absence of actua!
figures. In volume, this does not be.
gin to compare with some deals
which board of trade history re
veals, but In compact efficiency it is
said to be the peer of any.
No colossal winnings or losses are
involved, although some of thu
weaker shorts were hit hard.
