WESTERN MARKETS.
A Lively Rush —Bulls anti Bears Alter
nately ou Top—Considerable Fluc
tnations Anticipated Corn
and Provisions.
■Special Correspondence Daily Times.
Chicago, Feb.|9.—On ’Change during the
week just closed wheat has, as usual, been
the centre of interest, and fluctuations in it
have been rapid and severe. Prices have
seemingly tended d iwnward from the start,
but “bulls” and “bears” have alternately
held control and the talk of the crowd has
been 80c or 90c, according to which side was
uppermost at the time. Sid Kent has been
the big operator of the week, and everybody
has watched his actions. At the opening,
when the ground was covered with suow,
and brokers were making predictions of a
million and a million and a half increase in
the visible supply and nobody appeared will
ing to buy anything at any price, he covered
his “short” lines and went “long.” Receipts
were larger, farmers’ deliveries on the in
crease, millers reported to have lowered
their buying price and the crowd of scalp
ers selling. Quotations eased ofl, Kent
doubled his holdings. The secretary’s
report of the visible supply did not come
up to expectations, the increase for the week
being only a little over 22,000 bushels. This,
with the soft weather, served to steady the
market. Then came a general thaw, caus
ing the snow to disappear, and bringing in
reports from Kan-as and Missouri that the
winter wheat fields were nothing but big
ponds. The weather bureau here had its
blizzard flag flying, and visions of ice and
ruined crops put the shorts in a little panic
directly. The war rumors, too, which the
bulls bad been praying for, they had with
a vengeance. Ail this sent prices sailing,
and the feeling was rampant. Country
“lambs,” who nover come in except on a
rising market, wired their commissionmen
their buying orders. On the top of the
bulge Kent sold out, and it was his hold
ings which filled the demands of the ctowd
and outsiders, but it was done so quietly
and through so many brokers, that not half
•a dozen bevond those interested knew
anything about it until the thing
was a l oe . A.te- the grain hal
he on scattered,however, it began to dawn on
the boys that the support which the market
liad had- was gone, and when Baxter, Ar
mour’s favo-ite broker, began dropping his
stiifl the si uati n d d .’t 1 ok half so bullish.
The w<ether was still chilly, though a.few
flakes cf snow came sailing down occasion
ally, but advices fr< ra the West and South
west said that the stories of crop damage
were manufactured by “longs” in those
markets to help themselves out. Cables
were strong, but there was a suspicion that
they were only the reflection of our own
markets. The w.-r news, also, which hold
<ers had wished for so eagerly the more they
thought of it, didn’t seem to be of much
c in the wheat siiu li n after all.
Then, too, they began figuring on the next
visible supply, and estimates of the increase
in that were an hig bu l en aurag.'ug A
rash was made to sell out but nobuuj ap
peared to want the wheat and the crowd was
forced to unload on each other and prices
went dawn, ruling slumpy to the close.
Some believe that Kent and his followers
have again gone “snort” and will work for
a decline, but now, as heretofore, the opin
ion of the best operatorsis that quick traders
will be the winners in this market for some
time, and that people at a distance stand
but, little chance.
“Prices,” said Hamill, “will be likely to
jump about pretty lively, going up on crop
scares and down on something else, with
heavy speculators ‘milking’ both ways.”
Corn has followed wheat, but within a
narrow limit. The principal influence has
been receipts. These are larger, but the
shipping demand has kept pace, and no
body cares io be “short” yet, although rail
road officials say there is a flood of grain
in the cou try, o ily waiting car room to
come forward.
Provisions a!o~e have sto r d up firmly,
and slowly but steadily advanced, in spite
cf a light trade and the weakness of sur
rounding pits
The hogs earning in are few and poor
and the boys think they have good reason
to believe Armour is under mess pork again.
There is no market, however, which is so
easy of manipulation as that of provisions
and many conservative dealers are advising
their friends to let them alone, and above
ail not be caught “short.”
Earlie.
One Drop of Nitro-Glyceriue.
Lancaster New Era.
Benjamin Grey, a blacksmith in the mid
die Warren oil fields, was called upon by a
well shooter recently to make some repairs
on the running gear of a wagon which he
used in carrying nitroglycerine. Mr.
Gray crawled und r the wagou. He
found a bolt broken, and took his hammer
to drive it out to make room for a new one.
A deafening explosion followed the first
stroke of the hammer. The wagon was
shattered to pieces, which were thrown in
every direction. Grey was kn eked sense
less to the ground an Iso badly injured that
liis life is despaired of. The owner of the
wagon stood several fee’, away,but was thrown
to the ground. One wheel of the wagon
was carried into a tree twenty feet distant.
The explosion is accounted for on the theory
that a quantity of nitro-glycerine had leaked
out of a can at some time while being
transported from the factory and had col
lected on the running gear of the wagon.
The blow from the hammer was all that was
needed to explode it.
