Leiter Wins in Wheat Gamble

Chicago May 11. Jos Leiter and his father famed for a 1898 alleged $10 million loss in cornering world wheat have returned to May wheat profits.

Yesterday May wheat hit 2.15, a record high as he reportedly sold on government intervention fears and bought July and September futures. Allies brokers led by Great Britain are said to have cleared 10 to 15 million in the pit, while Livermore joined the Board of Trade and is said to have earned 1.5 to 2 million in May wheat.
