Author and Banner of the Great Pork
Cormier of 'SI.
(Chicago Cor. New York Soto
Peter McGeoch, the manager of the cor-
ner, is a burly Scatehman who lives in
Milwaukee, but operates more or less on
the Chicago Board of Trade. He is known
as the man who broke the Milwaukee
wheat market three years ago. McGeoch
made a comfortable fortune at that time,
but probably not as much as some of his
backers. Early this spring P. D. Armour,
who ran the great pork corner of 1880,
determined to get hold of the product the
same as last year. To this end he began
sellingshort, in order to break .the mar-
ket, hoping to buy in vast quantities of
pork by the 1st of March, the close of the
regular packing season, at reduced rates.
The Milwaukee men discovered his deal,
picked up all the property which they
found lying around loose, and at the end
of February Armour was not a. little sur-
prised to see vast quantities of pork going
to McGeoch on short purchases made_ in
previoua months. On the 1st of April
practically allthe property in the Market
fell in McGeoch's hands Pa matured short
contracts. This amounted at that Ulna to
about 200,000 barrels of pork, 100,000
tierces of lard, and 60,000,000 pounds, of
meats,, valued at.no less than 1)8,000,000.
Of course McGeOch was not able to put
this amount of money in the deal, but
Alexander Mitchell doubtless knows where
the capital Came- from._ The general im-
'pression is that Armour- loses heavily, but
as bis hquseis probably worth ten millione,
it would not miss a million very much. It
is said that while he has filled in a majority
of his old shos'.? contracts made:during the
Winter, he -has not entirely deserted the
bear side." Feeling,: perhaps, that the Me-
Geoch deal would be short one, and that
-
there would be an opportunity for him to
realize- on tiro break that is mire to fellow
the dissedutionef the corner; and recover.
