masterly move in the v.-heat market
by young Mr. Leiter, the Chicago
operator, the latest advice being to
the effect that he claims to hold all the
surplus wheat in the United States.
Some very interesting particulars of
this remarkable man and his coup are
given by a New York correspondent:
"The most interesting figure in the
American wheat markei during the
past year has been young Joseph
Leiter, the only son of a Chicago mer
chant prince, who has just beaten the
veteran millionaire and speculator,
Phil Armour, in a contest that re
quired much nerve and millions of
capital. The end of the year finds the
vonner man m actual possession Oj.
9,000,000 bushels cf first-class wheat,
all raid for. which he is shipping by
rail to Atlantic ports and thence to
i.ivArnnnl ns fash as he can nntt ves
sels to carry it. When this boy whose
sister, 'by the way, is the wife of Mr.
fiporze Cnrzon. Under-Secretary tor
Foreign Affairs in England came out
of college four or five years ago, a tall,
broad-shouldered, and handsome lei-
low, he informed his father that he
sirpri tr 20 into business. Where
upon Mr. Leiter grave him $1,000,000.

In two years he had lost three-quarters

and wisdom. Then the money began
to come back, and a year later he had
fimihiPfi his original capital, lie naa

young man entered the wheat market
as a buyer, and the veterans marKea

on he continually accumulated profits.

Dear Sir: The Secretary Disc Plow I pur
chased from you is giving us satisfaction. We
are using it to plow under a crop of lupins. They
are three feet high and very thick. Your plow
turns them completely under, at the same time
plowing the land fourteen inches deep,
I feel satisfied that vith this plow the draft
for the same quantity and depth of work is as
6 to 8. That is, with the old plow, to do the same
work, it takes 8 good mules; with your plow it
takes only 6, and they are less tired at night.
Please send me another plow by first' schooner
leaving for this.
You are at liberty to use' this in any way you
may see fit. Yours truly,
A. LIDGATE.
