CHAPTER XIII.

Selling his long line of spring and
summer wheat, Fitzhugh bought three
million bushels of the September op-
ton. He was now become, known as
the greatest Of the bulls. Every big
buying order was laid to him. His
appearances In the pit grew more in
frequent. He distributed his com.
mands among six or seven different
brokers. Crops were universally bad.
The United States had not yet felt
the European demand. but 1t would
come soon, and he knew it would be
heavy. He knew wheat would rise
still higher, and he gradually increased
his holdings in September to six mil.
lion bushels.
Then came the cry from European
insistent cry-the cry for bread. He
received code-cable from his agent
In Liverpool: Can negotiate 1--we mil.

He sold his six millions at an ad.
vance Of twenty cents bushel and in
one vast swoop bought in eight mil.
