THE PRODUCE HABKETfl.
CHICAGO.
Chicago, March 8.-8peculatIon In wheat
has been steadily Increasing for a week past.
It leaped all bounds to-day, and the scene in
the pit during both sessions was very wild.
There was a continuation of the upward
movement from the start, first sales for May
being made at 83Xc, or )io higher than last
night's closing, followed by a quick advance
to 84&c, with free buying all the way up. This
was followed by a sharp decline to 83XC, fol-
lowed by another upward movement, which
was not stayed until 86c had been touched.
Dealing was confined almost entirely to May
delivery, other options being neglected, and
outwaid evidences were such that a " squeeze'
In that month wai to bo attempted. The e.v
cltement in the pit during the advam
was very great. The "shorts" wer
thoroughly alarmed, and tlie short Interest
now acknowledged to be so largo that th'
advance of 8>£c from the low prices currei
last week, mean tremendous profits and 1
consequence large losses among speculator-
It was conceded that the bull loaders wh
could push wheat In tho face of heavy selliu
and generally bearish tone of the market fe.
months must be very powerful and well
equipped for a fight. The advance of May
from S3?.{ to 86c was almost instantaneous.
Opinions as to the power under the ad vance
were ss many almost as operators In the pit.
After the top was touched, and before it, there
was heavy selling by some of the powers Iden-
tified with the bull side. The market sold off
to 85Ke and closed there at 1 o'clock.
In the afternoon May rose again to 86.Vc, but
the offering suddenly grew to be very large.
For a time the market was but one move
from a panic. May started in apparently
strong, but immediately began breaking un-
der enormous offerings, and dropped by
lialfs to b3%c. There was a combined solid
rush to sell out. If a broker could not get
what he wanted for it he took what he could
get. Around 83%c the feeling became steadier,
and prices recovered to 8D4C, and finally clos-
ing at 84)4c. Everything except wheat was
entirely neglected. The market, notwitstand-
lng violent lluetatlons, closed lc higher than
last night. On the curb late in the afternoon
the pi ice was 84),c. There is a very broad
suspicion that a moneyed combination eon-
templates a squeeze in wheat, but the Inter-
esting problem for tho speculator to decide
now Is, who is under wheat? The truth proba
bly will bo found that there are a num-
ber of cliques under It. There Is
a Cincinnati, San Francisco, New Y'ork and
Chicago clique under different sections of It.
May and June were quoted at thu same figures
at the opening, but May at one time com-
manded a premium of l),'c over June, but this
was reduced to %c at the close.
The best prices in corn were had eavly, when
May was 40%c. Later it got elown to Sfec, but
tow aid the close recovered a little from this
figure, selling at 40)»'c. There were no special
features In the market.
Pretty much all the hog products developed
Into a slow, featureless sort of a deal, but
prices were firm and made a little advance.

NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE.
NEW YORK, March 8.—Rumors affecting the
Baltimore and Ohio, Western Union, Jersey
Central, Richmond and West Point and Read-
ing were amplified to day, taking several dif-
ferent shapes, and occupied tlie attention of
the stteet to the exclusion of almost every-
thing else. The remainder of the market was
dull and barely steady, with fluctuations for
the most part confined in a very narrow range,
but with a strong undertone throughout the
day, with some evidences of a booming ten-
dency. Western Union was again a leader
and scored a further material advance. Con-
siderable realizations, however, late iu the
day neutralized tlie greater portion of the
gains made. The sharpest movement was in
Jersey Central, which at one time showed an
advance of nearly 2 per cent., the prin-
cipal causes for which was the call-
ing In of a huge amount of loaned
stock, and as high as % per
diem paid for the use of the stock. The
opening was generally firm to strong, first
prices showing advances over last evening's
final figures ol to )«'. Western Union and
Jersey Central became features immediately,
both advancing about 1, while the remainder
were barely mm. The market became dull
after the first hour, and with almost no move-
ment In prices so continued until about 1 p.
m. Coalers then became active and strong
and continued to advance until well into the
last hour, the remainder of the market re-
sponding feebly. Entenslve realizations theu
sagged tlie list off, and though the market
closcd on a rally it was rather heavy. Closing
prices show irregular changes, generally for
small fractions, though Roading is up 1); and
Green Bay 1)».
Railroad bonds dull and steady to firm, final
changes being for insignificant amounts.
Government bonds dull.
State bonds dull and steady.
