MAT WHEAT SHOOTS UP TO $1 14. Manipulation the Only Tangible Reason for the Advance. AS OPIXIOX BT A YEJi!.-KXOW2i IXPERT Chicago, April 18. It was a lively day on 'Change a great day for the holders of wheat. It was a day in which the specu lative giants foucht a long and stubbornly contested battle to a decisive finish. The result was disastrous to the bears, bnt highly profitable to the bulls. Enormous trans ections which showed tremendous losses were evened up. One commission firm bought in a line of 800,000 bushels May wheat wnich was sold short at 16c below the price at which it was purchased to-day, and some of it was bought even at 20c above the price at which it had been sold. So far as known only one of the great traders who are nearly always to be found on, the bear side ol the market, refused to haul down his colors and surrender. The first few minutes trading was excit ing, bnt merely preliminary to the great struggle of the day, which continued, with gradually increasing fierceness, for an hour, May advancing about 5 cents iu that time. Although millions of bushels were being offered at the heavy advance in prices which had immediately succeeded the first few trades, shorts did not come out fast enough to satisfy the urgency of the buyers, who frequently, in their excitement, bid more for the stuff than it was being offered at. May started with the first sale at 51 03; but 51 10.S1 103,51 10li and ?1 11 were then bid before auv come out. Before the memor andum or sale conld be jotted down the en tire crowd was shouting in chorus bids of 51 12, and in a minute more SI 13 was paid, lleactioiisot 1 cent were instantaneous dur ing the first half hour, bnt the tendency was strongly upward until 10:30 A.M., after which tired nature and the call price, which by that time had been reached, called a halt to the advance and a respite to the tortured shorts. The price in the meantime had ad vanced to 51 14, and, although some sales were made even as high as 1 15, there were many orders to sell at $1 14 which could not be executed for lack of buyers. There was notning in the news of the day to account for such phenomenal strength. The bears appeared totake fright at the evi dently manipulated appearance of the May future. Bradstreet's statement that the vis ible and invisible reserves on July 1 would be down to 10,000,000 or 12,000,000 bushels if the present ratio of export was kept up till May, have helped the feeling. Late cables from Liverpool, while quoting values firmer, began, nevertheless, to ex press opinions that the advance abroad was overdone. The marked increase in the mar keting of wheat by English iarmers during the last two weeks was also a straw in the same direction. The realizing sales by the large conservative holders here was also taken as a concession that the pace abroad had been a little too hot to last much longer without a breathing spell in the shape ot a reaction. The liquid .tion included July as well as Mav, but the advance was about 3 cents les. Miy remained agitated dnring the creater part of the session, but gradu ally weakened. IN A CBITICAL STATE. The Opinion on the Wheat Flurry of a TVcll Known Expert. israelii. TELEGHiJI TO TIIE DISPATCH. 1 Chicago. April 18. The wheat market is in an admittedly critical state, and the general feeling is one of great 'uncertainty. Eamcel Lowe, editor of one of the leading trade, journals, and one of the best known authorities upon the subject, says specula tion just now is rampant in Mark Lane and at the Baltic. The bears, he says, have been for years past so accustomed to see their warnings come true that they can not understand or realize how it is that th e bulls have forthe moment supplanted them. t'The harvest is a long way off, anyhow," continued Mr. Lowe, "a mild, warm and wet May or June will do much to make up for the present lateness of the crops. Indeed, this late crop tory is a little too tall to de ceive any but the most unwary. I do not believe the wheat crops in France are half as badly frost-bitten as the farmers try to make out. There is an undoubted shortage in Germany, and the acreage sown is less than usnal. The stock of flour in England is low, and so is that of wheat." Bo Ton Eat?
