THE BURSTING BUBBLE MISTAKEN
FOR THE ROAR OF CANNON.

Ii has come The hnansial panic fore

But fortunately for the country the

While st one time on Yesterday forenoon it
seemed that a crash would inevitably follow

IRE. sill. the good sense, the cool level

The shaky condition Of the stock ev-

out the country that crisis was approach

At the same time it must be admitted that
ssuch scenes as we're witnessed Yesterday in
New York do not benefit commercial busi-
neSs:: They have a tendency, if not to in
terrup,, certainly to throw chill over trade
and to dampcn enterprise. In that respect
The panic is a detriment, and to be dePlOred.
We have no doubt that Secretary FOLGER
thought he was doing the proper thing
in making the call for bonds, According
10 our view it was mistake. The effect
.was o0ly 10 magnify the importance Of the
gambling collapse in Wall street Instead
of giving confidence it created dis,rust
where there is no ground for it.
q Under the circumstances it might not be
proper TO give suggestion to the thought up

CHICAGO, May 1.-The sensation on
Change to-day has been tumultuouS one.
The depression in Wall street had its visible
reflection here and accompanying the dowu-
ward tendency in stocks great break in
prices occurred in the grain market, The
effect was particularly felt in the wheat pit,
where the opening prices were nearly a cent
under the lowest figures yesterday. July
wheat opened in the vicinity Of S9c, dropped
to $50, then was sustained for a few mo-
ments, rose to S9Sc, but fell off again to
SSic and has since rallied to &c. June
ranges two cents under July. Corn has
shown great frmness in comparison to
wheat July fell off to SHE, but it is now
quoted at jS9c. June pork quoted
$l7 %. June lard 324c, In the face O.
the panickv news from New York the mar
kctS here after the early decline have shown
great SteadinesS. July wheat fell off to
size, but has risen again to SSlc and dis
PLAYS considerable strength under heavy
offerings. July corn is quoted firm atj7sa
