The final act of the great Bonn! of Trade dramn. In which Joseph Loiter, the " Young Napoleon of the Wheat Pit," mads his flnnl bow and exit from the stage, was rung up to-day. Itcloeed with an nntl-cllmax. In which tb hero came out second best, while tho lead ing heavy man stepped to the place rocently occupied by him, and complacently remarked that ho reckoned that a "part of tho world Is bis." The heavy man tn question Is Philip D. Armour, who to-day bought all of Letter's eaih wboat in theNorthwest,amotinttngto4,000,000 or 6,000,000 bushels. It Is said also that Ar mour w 111 take up all of Letter's wheat. The Irony of fate was commented upon among traders this afternoon when It was learned thut Mr. Armour, who was at one time Leltor's most formidable competitor, has now como to the rescue. How much Armour paid Letter for his Immense holdings of cash nhout In tbo North went Is not mado public, although somo Idea may be galnod by quoting tho price of Juno wheat hsio justordny, which closed nt Ho cents, and considerably lower at Minneapolis. Early In tho day despatcbos wcro received from Now York ntnttng that Justice Daly had granted an alluchmrnt there against Joseph Leltor of this ctty In favor of Otto E. Lohrke & Co., grain brokers and ocean shlppors, for 793,000, on advances made mainly between Fab. 1 and June 1 of the present year, ltobert McDougnl, local representative of tho firm, says ho has not yet been apprised of such action. lis added that tho business his firm transacted fur Letter amounted for a number of weeks to more than $D0.O00 every day. A rcmnrkablo calm settled over the wheat market this morning after yestorduj's sensa tional turns. Thoro wore no quotations availa ble on Juno wheat for Revcral hours, while nil the future options More close Io tho line of yes lerdny's closing. Later thoro was a slump of 3 cents In July and adecllno from 71a to 007a In September wheat. Tho Impression prevailed generally that tho worst had como out, and thnt Letter's tremendous wheat deal Is now a matter of history. All morning L. Z. Leltor. his son, Mr. Zeller of Allen, Orier & Zeller, and representatives of P. D. Armour were tn consultation with bankers. Neither of tho Letters would speak. The elder was curt, while the younger courteously replied to questions that he was exceedingly busy try ing to arranga bis affairs. The sale of the wheat to Armour was effected this morning. It Is generally admitted that it clears the at mosphere to a considerable extent, and If trus tees aro necessary to liquidate the rest of Letter's cash wheat In this city. In Now York, afloat on tbe ocean, and tn European storehouses It will not require much time to dispose of tho re maining 3,000.000 or more. Inasmuch as it Is stated that bids have been received for all cash wheat that Letter has, thero will be no dllflculty tn winding up tho doal. What Is moro, the sil ver lining to the cloud tn said already to be com ing out. There Is fair prospect that Letter's creditors will lose nothing and thnt tbe wheat will bring in sufficiently wltb the recovering markets to pay all claims on loiter. No doubt is entertained at this stage of of the proceed ings thnt the elder Letter will have to come to the rescue to an extent variously estimated from $3,000,000 to $7,000,000. It Is probable that the former figures aro nearer tho truth than the latter. Men whoarocloso to Loiter say ho ascribes the failure of hln deal to the treachery of alleged friends In the Northwest. Loiter himself does not mnko theso chnrges, but there Is no doubt that ho Is positive In tbo opinion that If those who were with him In tho Joint account had held on for some time tho deal would have been successful. Both Pillsbury and rcavy. who were Interested with Leltor in the bull cam paign, deny thnt they were at all to blame for his misfortune and Insist that Mr, Letter was a victim of tho disease, of "overstaying nnd over baying," which has rained nearly all the bold pluneers and speculators In the past. Evidence Is available, to the effect that the break In the rnnrket was started In the Northwest by im mense unloudlngs of wheat. George B. French, who has stood by Joe Incit er's elae from the start to the finish, Is also mado the subject of flying rumors. In answer to statements thnt suits hnvo been filed against htm for tho recovery of money said to have been paid to him in 1803 on his personal checks, Mr. French says: "I had heard nothing of any suit being brought against me until I read tho papers this morning. I see in one paper an announcement thnt I failed several years ago In New York. I have never failed or assigned In my life nnd don't Intend to. nnd am not nt all worried over my present financial condition. I have had no personal connection nt any tlmo in this whent deal except that I have been and hope always to be a close friend of Joseph Llter, Theso parties who are alleged to have brought suit against me aro not New York brokers, never wero my trlends, and are enguged In nnother class of business. I have no fear of tho result of any action they may bring." l.KITr.K ATTACHED FOTI $703,0X3. Ills Sblpplnv Aaenls llereTle SJnn larce tunp nf Ills Assets. Deputy Sheriff Humes has received nn at tachment ngsinrt Joseph Letter for $7113,025 tn favor of Otto E. Lohrke & Co., grain commission merchants tn the Produco Exchange building.

Tbe plaintiffs say that between Fob. 1 and June 13 they havo paid out nnd ad vanced vnrlous sums of money for Mr. Lelter and performed work, labor, nnd services, and agreed to pay various sums of money to others, oUlgntlne themselves therefor.

The pay ment of tho $703,02,1 tins been demanded and Mr. Loiter has failed to piy it or any part thoreof. The Sheriff served copies of the attachment on the Chase National Bnnk, the Hanover Bank, tho Bank of Montreal and on the plaintiffs. The bunks did not say whether they had any money on deposit belonging to Mr. Lelter, but said they would send a certiflcnte to the Sheriff's office. It was stated that the claim was largely se cured by wheator certificates for wheat. Parker fc Aaron, attorneys for Otto E, Lohrke & Co., said that tbe firm were not afraid on their own account, but as ngents for Mr. I-olter they bad become responsible for about $800,000 worth of storage, frelqht and transfer chnrges on Inland vt heat bound for Europe.

Ever since .Mirahnm Lin coln's time, Chicago has been n fnvorlto spot for national conventions. Tho trouble Is now, though, that Ihe Windy City hasn't any hi? convention hall.

After an oxtonded consultation Mr. Worth aud Mr. I'nyn Journeyed up stairs, whero thoy wero rlossted with Gov, Black for a couplo of hours. Later Mr. Worth rojatned Mr. Buttling, und the two had lunch together. Mr. Worth then dupnrtrd for Saratoga. Mr. But tling returned to Brooklyn, nnd later In tho dny Mr. Pnjn Btarted for ow York, All four re fused to divulge the resultn of Mr. Worth's visit or tts moaning, or anything concerning It. Superintendent Payn arrived at tho Grand Union Ilotol last night at 11 o'clock. He was Joined there by somo of his Itepubllcau friends. Mr. I'nyn said that ho could not tell what oc curred at Mr, Worth's visit to Gov. llhick to day. From Mr. Payn's friends It was ascer tained that Mr. Worth vlsltod Albany at tho ro quost of Mr. Payn, who doslrod Mr Worth to too Gov. Black and talk over with htm tha Kepublioun situation In New York city and othor matters. Mr. Worth In recent lntcrvlows had proclaimed thnt he wan out of politics for good, that his health was falling, and that, al though elected a delogato to tho Republican State Convontlon from tbo Elevonth and Thir teenth districts of Brooklyn, ho did not believe that he would attend the convention. Superintendent Payn started In last winter to Interest Mr. Worth In the State campaign this fall. Mr. Payn Journeyed to Brooklyn and at tsndod tbe dinner given In honor of Mr. Worth, and at that dinner Mr. Worth assured Mr. Payn that ctery thing ho could do to help along Gov. Blick'B rcnoinlnntlou and ru-ulectlou would be done by him. The recent Interviews of Mr. Worth, declaring that bo would not at tend the Republican Slato Convention, dis turbed Mr. Payn somowhnt, and, remembering Mr. Worth's promise ot Inst winter, he asked Mr. Worth to go lo Albany and have a talk. It may he set down now, as a result of the talk In Albany, that If Mr. Worth's health Is suffi ciently sound ho will attend tbo Republican Stale Convention. Mr. Wurth belioos thut Gov. Black should be renominated, and tf his health permits he will do everything he can to bring that about. It was further learned that Mr. I'nyn and Mr. Worth tulkod with Gov. Black about, tho police situation In New York city and that Oov. llhick will gladly meet any committee, from the Now York itepubllcau County Committee), but It was nuid that Gov. Black dues not holleto that Prosident QuU'g of Iho County Committee should be a member of tho cotnmltteo which is to go to Albany and luy the facts before him. It was said fur Gov. Black that lis docs not feel pleasanllv toward President Quite, for tho rea son that ho believes that Mr. Qulgg, on his Inst visit to him at Albany, returned to Now York and distorlod a remark of Gov. Bluck con cerning Senutnr Piatt. President Qn leg's friends have all along Insisted that Mr. Qulgg .lid not distort tbe conversation, but that an un fortunate interpretation was put upon It by Senator Plait. The btory Is this, as gained from tho friends of Gov. Black and President Qulgc; President (Juigg en his visit to Albany last winter to dlscuri. with Gov. Black tho provi sions of the now primary law. talked with tho Governor coiiieming othor bills then before tho Legislature, aud tbu Ellsworth newspauor lllx bill camo up for especial comment. Guv. Bluet did not Uko the Mil nnd so told President (julgg, whorcupon President Qulgg Informed Gov. Black thnt Sonntur Plait had sot his hoart upon tho passage of the bill. Gov. Illnek then spoke I in btroug terms ugnnst the bill and said It 1 would bo ruinous, President (julgg still In sisted that Sonator Piatt was strongly favor able to tho bill, whereupon Gov Black Is said tn hnve used tho remark "Then we must save Snnntor Piatt from himself." Gov. Blnuk's friends have always said that the romark was made with tho utmost friendli ness toward Senu'or Plnll and President yulgg's .frlends.hnvo.doclared thnt evidently Gov. Black did not use tho rnmarkln an otfen slvo sense toward enntor Piatt. The romark. It Is agreed by both sides, was made for the purpose ot attempting to show Senator Plait the iieumndnns mistake of the bill. President Oulgg roturred Ut New York, and In a conversa tion with Hanaloi Piatt, told evcrvthing that was said between himself and Gov. Black, in cluding nor, Black's retnnrk. "We must snve Senator Plntl from himself." Senator Piatt wasvery angry at that remark. He said he had been in politics forty jenrs and Gov. Black four j ears. He Immediately despatched the 1'ito Charlon W. llackett to Albany to ascertain from Gov. Black juhi what ho meant when be made that remark. Mr. Hnckoq called on Mr, Payn ul Albany, nnd the twu conferred with I Gov. Blnck. Aba result of that con vernation dm . Binek'sent a long lotter lo Senator Piatt, in which he said Hint President Quigg hud rlls- 1 torte4 the remark nnrl hud made it appear that it was used In an olfenslvo souse. Gov. Black's letter to Senator Piatt was a very interesting one. Senator Piatt, howecr, had taken tbe re innrk very keen'.), nnd his reply to Oov. Black practically left tho matter a question of vo nicity between Gov. Hlnck'nndiPresldent Qulgg. Tbe friends of all three have all along regarded the epirode us unfortunate, and nooording to what wns learned list night. Gov, Black wonld profer that President Qulgg should not bo a member of the special committee to go to Al bany to lnv tho police matter bcforft'Jilm. Gov. Black, It will be remembered, spent two days In Washington a short lime ago discussing with President MoKlnley New York State army matters. While In Wnshlngton Gov. I Black talked with Senator Piatt a good deal about New York State polities, but It was reit erated Inst night by tbnso who ought to know about such matters that Gov. Black In thorn conversations with Senator Plait did not pivo the slightest indication whether or not he de sired to bo ii cnndldnto agnlu for Governor. The police situation In New lorkclty. as die ciiHjcd In .Mtmny yesterday, elicited an Interest ing chnptcr concerning tho appointment of Wil liam E.
