Death of Old Hutch, Chicago's famed 19th century figure
Benjamin P. Hutchinson known as Old Hutch dies at 70 after years of invalidism. The Chicago speculator rose from 1860s fame, built packing and provision firm, led Corn Exchange National Bank, and in 1888 engineered a dramatic wheat corner pushing prices from 86 cents to 1.50 and settling at 1.20 to 2 in key brief moments.
