6 THE COMMERCIAL RECORD, On the Chicago Board of Trade Tester day the Clique Took in About All the Cash Wheat. Host of the Monthly Deliveries Made Quietly, Particularly by Those Who Were Short. There Was Some Excitement at the Forenoon Opening, But This Was Soon Allayed. Transactions in the Financial Circles of Wall Street-The General Quotations. (Special to the Globe. Chicago, .June I.— The clique houses took all the wheat this morning diirin**: delivery hour. Kershaw •.<: Co. took the hi st, even some of the other clique houses delivering receipts to them. About 2,500,000 bushels of wheat were going around on the floor, Armour and the Allerton Packing company delivering the biggest blocks, j It. is estimated the clique houses took in yesterday . about 1,500,000 bushels in large blocks to avoid a rush to day, so they hold .now practically all the wheat here. It was said on good author ity that the clique houses did not get more than eighth of the wheat due them. When the wheat pit opened at '10:30 o'clock June wheat was already 90c bid and July mil".. There was all the excitement and fury for the lirst half hour that tiie trade ex pected. .lane sold certainly as high as 91% C. Irwin, Green & Co.'s brokers sold enough to tend it back to 81 %c. July sold up to 86% C, and then reacted back to S6%c. The CLEARANCES OF WHEAT from New York were 166,000 bushels. The Irwin, Green & Co. sales of June quite upset the market, but they were sold down for the purpose simply of controlling the market. They let go about 1,000,000 bushels, a big line, certainly, to release if a bad- squeeze is though! of. It is noticeable, however, that v. hi., Irwin, Green & Co. were selling June, Rosenfeld & Co., another clique house, were actively picking up July at 2@3e • discount. This was all there was to the cirque opera tions—the stopping of the plunges made by the market whenever the shorts showed anxiety to cover. Afterward, when June re covered from SS%c to S9?4c; Irwin, 'Green & Co. sold enough to put the price back to s«ic The crowd are annoyed at these amiable tac tics. They never before saw a wheat deal run that way. The checks given to June are, however, undoubtedly for the purpose of checking sales here that would bring an un natural amount of the Northwestern wheat here. in a week from now the freight rates will be back to a point that will allow June to sell at 90c without making Minneapolis shipments profitable, and perhaps then the figures will go there. Corn was bulled a little on the falling off of the receipts. It ought naturally to bull, for the shipments are in creasing, and it is the belief that there is a concentrated holding in it of several million bushels. TUE am SHOUTS have covered, too, and even without much merit corn ought to recover a little of the 5c decline which it lias suffered in the last sixty days. The prospect is that the Northwestern railroads will agree to advance their freight rates on grain between Minneapolis and Chicago to 10c per hundred" from T^c. This will mean an advance in the cost of trans porting a bushel of wheat from : 4%c to 6c, and would make a vast difference to the shortslwho had wheat in the Northwest or could buy it up" there. .But the refusal of the Northwestern and the St. Paul roads to ac cept more wheat for Chicago just now, on the plea of want of storage, is even more signifi cant. It is pretty good evidence that the wheat clique has as much influence with the railroads as the wheat. shorts. The fact that Armour was caught short by the clique may have had something to do with the dropping of the rate to Tt^c from Minneapolis. THE ROUTINE REPORT. Chicago. June I.— The deliveries of wheat 011 the board at the monthly delivery this morning were very light, but all that went around finally got lodged with the clique. Most of the deliveries were made at the office as none of those who were short cared to have it known. It was stated on good au thority that the clique did not get within a large amount of the wheat due them. The amount of wheat delivered to-day is gener ally estimated at about 3,000,000 bushels, besides advance deliveries made yesterday afternoon. This nuts about all of the cash wheat in the hands of the clique, as was ex pected. When trading opened the crowd in the wheat pit was , very nervous. June opened at 90% c and -fluctuated wildly at the fear of the shorts and ' whim of the clique. After the first excitement of the opening June quieted down considerable. It got up to 94% c and was taken in hand by the clique, who put enough property on the market to send it back to BS%c Ater the clique let so of it again. - June went up around site and stayed there very steadily for the balance of the morning session. July wheat opened strong at 86% c and in sym pathy with June got up to 86%@S7cui "the lirst Hurry, but finally became more quiet and sold down to S6Ue; around 80% cit held steadily for a long time and closed for the day at that figure. June-closed ou the after noon board at 89"* C.The cold, damp weather was as much a bull factor in corn, as the dry weather of a week ago was. July opened Strong at 39* Ac and sold to 39% c and was very actively traded in all day, holding uni formly steady around the- latter figure, and closed for the day at 39"-isc Provisions also opened strong. July short ribs started at 57.12% and sold at $7.17% in the first fif teen minutes. Bibs were more active than for some time and July sold up to 57.20 in the course of the forenoon and remained at that figure until the close. Lard was quiet, though firm. THE QUOTATIONS.

The sentiment was moderately bullish, however, through out the day, although' the improvement in prices was accomplished" before noon,' and considerably over • one-third the total trans actions of the day w«« done in -the first hour. Beading was again the -special feature, being very active aud strong. There was consider able excitement in the. stock, there being a rush to buy at the opening, and the prices assessment paid was rapidly marked up and - most of the advantage- was retained to the close. Jersey Central was also a ! prime favorite, but the other coalers barely held their own. The Grangers were generally active and firm on buying orders from Chicago, but the trunk lines were dull and featureless. One of the special favorites of the day was Wheeling & Lake Erie, which was freely purchased upon favorable reports of the business of the road. • Fort Worth & Denver was again the conspicuous- weak stock, although one or two-of the specialties was decidedly weak.. . The . opening was about steady, the changes from last even ing's prices being for slight fractions only, which were very evenly '.'shared between gains and losses: There" was' a moderately active business in the first hour in which the coal stocks, the Grangers and Wheeling & Lake Erie early became, prominent. Prices were strong from the. ppening and material advances were made over the entire list. Toward noon the market became dull and prices began to sag. ' In the ' last hour there was a renewal of the firm tone, accompanied by a little more animation, and the close was quiet but steady to firm, closing at the best prices reached.
