CHICAGO , May 17 | Specal ! Telegram to
TUB Bi'n.l There were clever people in the
wheat pit nU session , who were firmly of the
opinion nt the c'osc of the day thnt the
Cudnhy-LInn party hnd rnnllzed on something
like 2,000,000 bushels of Its holdings. There
were Just ns clever people In the pit , Just ns
much during the session , who were quite ns
Itoslllvo'y ' of the opinion thnt this Interest hnd
not rcallrcp on a bushel. Tills was the one-
really significant feature of the dny this
proof that the innrltcts hnd finally become so
big thnt experts could differ as to whether
the chief bull Interest In the pit had or had
not bold some millions of wheat. July whqnt
stopped Wednesday night nt90V , selling up
on the "curb" to Wfc. It opened tblsmorning
with none of the bull energy lost. Starting
jit 90Ve , July hesitated n little nnd eased oft
to 90ngc , then sold up to 91c. 'iho close at
1 o'clock was nt 90J < c.
U was u bigger day than Wednesday in
corn and the telegraph people last night said
that Wednesday's was the biggest floor busi
ness they hnd ever done in the city. There
was from the ouutot an enormous icnli/Ing ,
especially by thnt class of traders who take
lines of from 100,000 to BOOIOJ , bushels The
great local commission houses led , Baldwin
. Fnrnum , Schwartz. Dupcc & Co. , and
Irwin , Green & Co. , being especially promi
nent. Hutchlnson was by all odds the
biggest buyer. Bloom certainly was the
largest Individual seller. Toielgners were
at last In the market to cover some of their
contracts , most of them , however , only
tnking in .luly to put out some moro distnnt
options. Orr & Comes at one moment were
prominent , on the buying side nnd Cudnhy ,
certainly openly was n biiioramlon no small
scale cither. The narrow range inndo for
speculative operations correctly indicates the
absence of significant trading. Tlio oat in
spection 100,000 bushels was of course nil
nid to the mnrkct early , so was the bull con
duct of wheat , but liberal estimates for Friday
nnd quite ft ce selling by Robert Warren & Co.
for June finally gave piicesn start down.
May opened at 69c , sold up to 59 c. and at 1
o'clock was back to 5Cc again. July opened
at 671 < c , sold between 57Jo nnd 58c , and
closed at 1 o'clock at 57e.
Free charters of oats 202,000 bushels-
helped to keep oatssteady , notwithstanding
transactions were very moderate. May
opened at 34Xc , and nt 1 o'clock was 34Jfc.
July opened at 33J < c , sold down to 33 , ' e , but
nt 1 o'clock closed at 33X0-
In the provision pit trading was slow nnd
without special features. Cash buyers were
too modest in their purchases to afford any
encouragement , nnd with the speculative ele
ment there was no freedom in the day's ope
rations. A.slow feeling held contiorf and the
product dropped to a lower level. At 1
o'clock pork was 5c and short ribs 2J ( < ? 5c
under last night's closing. Lard was un
changed to 2J < c lower.
