Old Hutchins Scheme Triggers Wheat Jump in September
Local grain brokers and bucket-shop patrons rally as wheat for September delivery surges from $1.04 to $1.25 a bushel in under four hours. Reports from Chicago attribute the rise to a corner led by B. P. Hutchinson, with secrecy and large contracts forcing buyers to pay rising prices.
