THE BULLS HAVE A FIELDDAY
Prices on Change at Chicago Forced
up Despite the Efforts of the Bears.

Prices on 'Change at Chicago Forced
up Despite the Efforts of the Bears.
CHICAGO, May THE market was
filled with uncertainty and excitement
to-day, accompanied by very heavy
trading. News from New York was
sought with some avidity early in the day
in expectation that it would have some
effect on values, but the advices seemed
assuring. Speculation here thereafter
took its own course.
Fluctuations in wheat and corn were prev
alent at times, but the latest prices of the day
were considerably in advance of Yesterdays IS
closing figures. The greater part of yester-
days decline was recovered. The wheat mar
ket showed strength despite great nervous
ness and very heavy selling by the short in
terest. Everything offered was taken, and
prices rose in the face of an attempted bear
rad. Outsiders were more numerous, and
the activity displayed throughout the
entire session was characteristic of
the palmiest days of speculation.
Wheat opened 3sd34c. higher quickly
advanced ls(g34c. more, receded SC. but
with an active demand became strong, prices
gradually advancing l3sc. above the inside
figures. Somewhat Of a local bull movement
was developed and parties who had sold in
anticipation Of further decline to-day COM
menced to cover, the demand from the short
side aiding the advance. Later, under free
offerings, the market declined 7s1lc.,
but renewed buying advanced the
price &c. Shortly before the
close there was heavy selling again, under
which prices declined l1Sc., finally closing
14g3sc. higher than yesterday. On the after
noon call the excitement was renewed and
prices again sharply advanced. June closed
at 94l2c, July at 9615c., and August at 943Sc
The sales on the call were 10000 bushels.
Corn was active and scored a strong adj
vance. There was a large number of outside
orders to buy at yesterdays decline. The
receipts were smaller and shipments con-
tinued freely. The market opened &c. higher
and prices advanced, with only slight huctu-
tions, nc, declined &c, again rallied 34G7sc.
and closed lc. over yesterday. May closed at
Soc, June at 5612c. and July at 5S14c. On the
call the sales were $4,000 bushels. May rose
to 553sc., June to 571sc. and July to 5S31c.
Oats We're firmer and higher. May closed
at 323sc.. June at 3334c. and July at 3G54c. On
the call the sales were 10000 bushels. June
advanced &c.
Provisions were quiet and strong Mess
pork closed at $l7 5713 for June and $l7 10 for
July. On the call the sales were 1900 bGshels.
July declined 215c,

tierces. June and July declined 21lc.

railroad Company, for certain indemnity
lands under the act of June %, 1874, the

:
Judah Peter Benjamin was born in
SantO Domingo in 1872, of Jewish
parents, who emigrated to Sa-
vannah in 1916. He entered Yale
College, but left without graduating. In
1881 he went to New Orleans, studied
law, supporting himself by teaching, was
admitted to the bar in 1884 and rose rapid
ly to a high position in the profession.
He also became prominent as a
politician, attaching himself to
the Whig party. In 1852 he was chosen
to the Senate of the United States, where
he soon allied himself with the Demo-
cratic party in consequence Of the action
of the two parties on the slavery question.
In 1859 he was reelected to the Senate,
his colleague being John SlideI. On
December 81, 1860, in a speech in
the Senate, he avOwed his adhesion
to the Southern cause, and
on February he withdrew from
the Senate and was at once appointed At
tOrney General in the provisional govern
ment of the Southern COnfederacy. In
August he was appointed Acting Secretary
of War, but resigned in February, 1862,
on account of having been censured
by a Congressional Committee. He,
however, stood high in the con-
fdence of Jefferson Davis and
was appointed Secretary of State,
which position he held until the downfall
of the Confederacy. He then took
up his residence in London, where he
entered successfully into the practice of
the legal profession, and in 1866 published
GA treatise on the law of sale of personal
property" Since the publication
of that work Mr.. Benjamin has contin-
ued his residence abroad ostensibly in
private life, but his name from time to
time coming into prominence in connec-
tiOn with important public topics.
