.LANYON STARTS
 BULL 0N WHEAT

St. Louis, May 26.-Williap Lanyon, a capitalist, is engineering one of the biggest wheat deals ever attempted here. More than 100000 bushels of May wheat, valued at nearly S1,000,000 are involved in the transaction, it is said.
 Lanyon is on the bull side and in sists that every bushel of wheat which he has bought on option shall be de- livered to him at the Chicago market price. He said today he expected his deliveries before the last of May would exceed 100000 bushels and that he is prepared to pay cash for all of it.
 Lanyon is now credited with holding all the No. 2 red wheat for May de- livery that is in sight in St. Louis.
