ff- YESTERDAY'S MARKET. On the Chicago Board of Trade There Was a Lively Scramble to Bay Wheat. Which Began Soon After the Morning Opening, and Was Kept Up Through the Session. The Strength of the Day Was Due to a Falling Off in Re ceipts. Transactions In the Financial Cir cles of "Wall Street—General Quotations. Special to the Globe. Chicago, March 31.— California dispatches this morning said that the wheat clique thero had been putting the screws to the market, and that the "year" option yesterday had sold to SI.S6 per cental, or 51. 11% per bushel. The message further said that the opinion at San Francisco was general that the California market was cornered tight, and that the shorts were commencing to find the squeeze uncomtortable. From the other extreme market of the world, Liverpool, private cables bore almost the identical tale. The California clique, they said, were buying and the market was firm. Everybody knows that little else is talked here save the wheat clique. With all the big markets from Liverpool to San Francisco, talking of the big wheat clique and predicting In an alarmed way a corner, it was no wonder that the price advanced here. The May option at once sold above 83% C There was other news besides manipulation. The reports of crop damage are still pouring in. From California one dispatch said: "The .third. of the crop here is lost beyond redemption. It will take good rains within the next twenty days to save even a substantial part of what is left." There happened to be ANOTHER COINCIDENCE >'^'•'••"i of bull news of all sorts aud from all quar ters. Undoubtedly the arrival home last night of P. D. Armour was a bull factor. It might not have been to the minds of all on the floor, but it was to the minds of some. That made it count. Field, Lindley & Co. were sellers at the very opening and buyers in big blocks after the market had advanced above 83c. But neither their buying nor selling cut any figure. The alarm of the wheat traders who happen to be short, of traders who wore not bears but who wanted a decline to buy on, of traders who were bears and would not buy on an advance, is begun. A very little struggling by the people for wheat at 81c sent it to 82c and- a very little effort to buy at 82c sent it to 83c. The ease with which the price is marked up shows how silly all the assertions '"that there is' no shortage" are. P. D. Armour said this morn ing: "I have no interest in wheat, aDd none of my friends have, so far as I know. I have no opinion on it.** THE ROUTINE REPORT. Chicago, March 31.— Shortly after the opening of change this morning there was a scramble to buy wheat. The very uncertain ties connected with the movements of the commodity appeared 10 stimulate the bullish feeling which has beeu prevalent for a week past. The May future rapidly advanced to 83% c, the advanco was accompanied by some feverishness and stopped at the point named. For an hour or so reactions of %@%c were quickly regained. Later there was a short period of dullness and the price dropped nearly lc. A second period of activity re sulted in a recovery of this loss and an ad vance to 83% c, which was the highest point of the day. During the last half hour free offerings induced a reaction to 82 : % c. The close, however, was firm at 83% c. The strength of the day was partly due to re ceipts being nearly 100.000 bushels less than yesterday, twelve points showing a total of 380,000 bushels. Corn was comparatively steady, ranging 40%©39'i^c for May. Oats ranged 28%©29 c for the same option. Short ribs were strong again, advancing 5@7%c. THE QUOTATION'S.

New York, March 31.— Money on call ruled lighter, ranging from 6to 8 per cent. ; closed " offered at 7. Prime mercantile paper. s>o@ 0].:,; sterling exchange, dull but steady and unchanged. The . upward movement in the stock market was resumed to-day, and the steady appreciation of values met with no backward move of importance throughout the entire day, notwithstanding the fact that money ruled higher than it has yet done, and the fear of stringent money to some extent restricted speculation. A strong and even buoyant tone was developed late in the day, . and the general distribution of the trading was a marked feature. London was not an important factor, although it had buying or ders iv several of the low-priced shares — ticularly the Gould stocks. Unusual increase of buying orders from Chicago was noticed, and the belief became general upon the street that a strong bull pool had been formed which began operations to-day. As was to be ex pected, St. Paul was made first favorite, and it led the market in activity and strength. The other grangers responded, although their movements were much less import ant than that in the first-named stock. All the specialties were more animated and stronger and' Richmond k West Point, Union Pacific and Western Union were spe cially prominent in the last hour. Among the low price shares Fort Worth k Denver again commanded most attention, although its movement for days was insigniflcent. The opening was comparatively quiet but firm at au advance of small fractions over last even ing's final' figures. There was no special feature in the trading in the first hour, but the entire list made further slight advances. After that time, however, St. Paul suddenly sprung into activity and quickly advanced 1 per cent. - There was a noticeable increase in tho amount of business done over the entire list and the upward movement continued. In the afternoon there was less animation in the market and the high prices of the morn ing were not fully maintained Worth developing decided weakness. Toward the last hour, however, there was a renewal of the confident buying, and at the close was moderately active and strong at the best prices of the day. The entire active list with the exception of Pacific Mail, is higher this evening and St. Paul is up 1%, Union Pacific 1%, Wabash prcfered 1%. Railroad bonds were, moderately active, aud Erie 2ds again came to the front with sales of 180.000 out of a total day's business of $1,605,900. The closing prices generally show advances, but in a few instances they are for more than fractions.
