OniCAno , Ill-May 26.-Waking up to find Iho hotel aflro was about the experience of the pork trade today. The September prlco opened at 120.65. HxtiM two hours slowly ( jetting uo ICctotZl. Then , without a particle of warn ing , It was loss than llvo minutes Rotting to { 2.1 , ThosolllnR of about 1,000 bbls. at that Qs- Varo slopped the run-nway market , and In flf- iron mlniitos the price was back to 121.30. The Close was nt J22.30 , or J1.60 up from the opcnliiK. This remarkable action Is but a ( lash In the deal which has quietly tied up Ml the contract pork In slRht , and will release none except at great punishment to the shorti , The manipulation , which Is credited to the Cudahys , Oharloy Wright * and some say N. 1C , Kulrbank , has been thu scarecrow In the prlv- fclo Undo for weeks. The country got fright ened out a Ions whllo ago. The scalpers have been tilling the chairs , but fighting -shv of the the pit over Hlnco May 1. To venture Inon either the having or ( .oiling sldo has been to cot nipped sooner or later.

One stop loss order placed nt S2.J.H5 was Hlled at * 23 , nnd tills was but a sample. Only small lots were wnntnil nnd the trade wus not heavy. Hteevcr hold 70U bbls. for the clique and cased the pressuio. The product may apparently KO totlJOt > r$30nswelf , for It seenn to ho cor- ncreil for nil Ills worth. It Is Mild that In ten years the market had not KOIIO nu so iiipldly on hollttlo buying. , Thcio was nclhlni ? In other hog products.

Conditions seemed to stroiiRly favor the FoIlltiK.siilo of thu wheatmarket and much of the local talent was vngngcd In the eirort to Torco n decline.

The market-opened lower In sympathy with ' London , hutn rally ensued , and later , under a fairly brisk demand , prices generally went nbovo last night's flirtl figures.

The I'ost says : Two million In gold will go out to IliiKlund on bankers' shipments tomor row , raising the total ovport thus far In the year to thu unpaiallelfd hum of * 00,000,000. The llgino is woith remembering , becausu the regular gold exporters are pretty well agreed , that Satuiday'h shipment will bring to an end the u\cciilloii of the Kuropcnn oiders. There are possible In the Intei national movement of specie , two qulto distinct operations and In tnu recent sterling market both have played their part. A banker may ship gold and cover his transaction by saloof his own bill of exchange. Iio may , on thu oilier hand , sell ' ' exchange bills drawn by himself or sold to him , by other drawers and cover by gold shipments , Thu second of thcso transactions Is usually known as noiinal , yet It has figured relatively llttlo In the exports of the year. What Is now stated Is that thu shipments covered by thu , sulo of bills In other words the outright pur chases of American gold have practically reached an end. Kuropo probably Austria In particular has had Its order * tilled , and for thu inesunt closed UH bo.iks. Whether the regular export of gold to cover foiulgn debts will cease may provo another question , At | the moment thuro Is a fair commercial pro lit : In the transaction.

As yet the Iowa roads show no disposition to meet the Santo Fo rate of S17.GO which that company will put on Monday from Kan sas City to Chicago and return. The Burlington nnd Hock Island people say they arc willing to innko as low a rate as any other road , but btokcrs play so largo a part in their business that to make a low rate would simply throw the whole thing wide opgii to the scalper , and then revenues would go glimmering. Mr. 13. L. I > omax , general passenger agent of tlio Union Pacific , returned from Chicago yesterday , hut had nothing to relate of the situation outside of that given by Tun BKE. IIo stated that things wcro decidedly mixed nnd the future considerably huzy.
