CHICAGO ILL.,, May l0.-Therc was nervous
activity on change during the morning The
government crop report was expected, and
IL was, in the minds of the trade, to cut big
figure in the prices Of wheat before the close
OF the day. II was shortly after II o'clock
when the government estimate on the wheat
crop was made public here. There had been
some selling TO realize on yesterday big buy
ing, and prices were about Ac under the
close last night. The moment the wires
gave the figures there was q furry on the
floor, and every one turned 10 the wheat pit
On the instant there was craze 10 buy.
July jumped at once from S6l 10 S6lgc, then
In ten seconds TO SIC, and this occasioned ex-
citement enough 10 send the price 10 size
and S7Hc ut the same moment in different
parts Of the pit. This was the top, aud Il
was lc up and turn In three minutes June
sold up 10 S594c, and December 10 S99sc. AT
~ o'clock June was back TO last nights
price $3.50; July was down 10 S6Ac, lc of
from the top on the bulge, and 40 lower
than last night and December was back 10
where II opened, at ssNc.
The Washington report proved a boone
rang. Many operators here and elsewhere
had taken wheat since May with view to
unloading with profit on this report. Again,
| professional traders discounted the effect by
| bullng the market yesterday Still again,
the country did not come In with q rush TO
sustain the temporary bulge, and the Hash
and tumble all In one hour was the result.
There was further dip In prices few min
utes before the close, and July soldnt &c,
closing at S5lfCgs5Ssc. May closed at $3.50,
| June at s4Isc and December at S71GCssc.
In corn today the range OF prices during
the first hour was the range Of the day. The
pit was almost entirely deserted, and trading
was consequently light. The feeling, how
ever, was rather firmer and opening prices
about 20 higher. May opened at 6Ic
rangcd between 50Nc and 57Jec and CLOSED
at 57c. July opened at 55kc ranged be
tween 552.c and 50Isc and closed at 5594@
| 65Jsc.
Oats were quite active early round fot'
coming on the market and they being rcadi
ly taken. The market subsequently, became
quiet and weaker. May ranged between the
opening, sac, and the closing figure, 33Jsc
July sold at 32k0t33c.
Provisions ruled easier and prices averaged
lower. In the absence Of any special de
mand cash product, combined with the re
strictcd speculative interest, the bear SID
was regarded with increased favor. Jul!
pork opened at tiA22h, ranged at Slf;25C
i4.lO, and closed at slilTH July lard hel,
steady at Ss22h and June at $s.l6@S9O

FELL INTO MAD RIVER.
Little Johnny Whalen Caught in the
 Currant and Drowned.

Little Johnny Whalen Caught in the
 Currant and Drowned.
 Six-year-old Johnny Whalen, in com pany with two young boys named Charles Spellman and Dannie Byrnes, were play ing ball behind the store of John Whalen on East Main street at 5:3O last evening, the river. Yonng Whalen offered to get it and according to the other boys story he leaned over the bank of the river, and, catching hold of limb which did not prove strong enough fell in and was car ried off by the swift current The boys immediately gave an alarm and a party started out to find the body. All along the banks of the river as far as the Ameri- can mills the search was made and it was nearly 12 o'clock before they abandoned the work until to-day.
 This morning the search was renewed at daybreak by Thomas and John Whalen, Edward Howard and his son John. They followed down the river and at o'clock near the property of Dennis Kilduff they found the little fellows body. Dr Axtelle, who is acting as medical examiner in the absence of Dr North, was summoned and pronounced it case of accidental drown ing. The relatives have not arranged the time of the funeral as yet, but it is proba- ble that the remains will be taken to Tor rington for interment.
 Young Whalen was a very bright boy His father, David Whalen, lived in Tor rington, but he was brought up by his grandmother in this city. His mother died some time ago. John Whalen was his uncle

THE WORLD OF SPORTS.

''Projector" Jackson has been elected president of the Hudson river league.
 Mrs. Roger Connor witnessed yesterdays game at the polo grounds from the balcony of the club house.
 Williams, of the Waterbury polo team, is said to be a good ball player in the posi- tions of short stop or pitcher.
 Cleveland is no base runner. but he is a terrific batter. He resembles Jim Davis ot last seasons Baltimore club.
 The Waterbury management has secured a date with several good clubs, including the Wilkesbarres. The Worcesters also will probably play game here.
 Emil Mendel, the New Haven barber who owned some of the take-money en- bezzled by John Mcfarland during re, cent polo game, has brought suit to re cover and has attached Merlden real estate belonging to Mcfarland
 The exhibition game of polo at New Ha- ven last night between the Bridgeports and New Ravens resulted in victory for the former by score of to 4. After the game the two teams played with three men each. Bridgeport won again, making goals to New Haven's 3.
 Danbury has already signed two bat terieS, Decelle and Mlnahah or Troy, and Leland of Pittsburg and Quirk of Meriden who played with Waterbury last year Leland is left-handed pitcher The base men will be Johns and Lawlor of Pitts burg, and Kouchell of Baltimore. Te complete the club the management are ne gotiating with Willis of Pittsburg for short stop, Daughtery and Woods of Williman tic, and Rapp of Baltimore.
 Tf tba Rr;doanort nolo team had ,1'a-a- such polo all winter as they have in the last few games, they would have laf instead of being at the tail end. No team in the league can beat their recent style o1 playing, and it is a great pity it comes to> late to do any good. Manager Harris re gently challenged either New Haven ol Hartford to come here next week and play either best two in three, or best three 1T five, for s1OO, the winner to take all th; money, the loser to get nothing. I'll, Hartford and New Haven managers botl declined to try it. The chances were too much against their pocketing the 94e0.-- Bridgeport News.

A High License Advocate,

Rev. James M. Cleary of Wisconsin, who is delivering temperance lectures in Connecticut under the auspices of the To- tai Abstinence union, is an advocate of high license. When asked by reporter of the New London Telegraph (Which way, in your opinion, is the best to govern the sale of liquors ?" the reverend gentle man replied: 'I believe in total abstinence, but it is indisputable fact that just so long intoxicants are manufactured they will be drunk. Looking at it in this light l think that high license is the best law yet advocated for the restriction of the harmful influences surrounding the liquor business. For the promotion of our cause we believe in employing all the aids that religion offers, but especially that of moral

Pleasant Blizzard ReminiScence.

P. J. Burke of Colebrook was in New York Tuesday, March 13, the second day of the blizzard, alighted from the elevated road at West Fourteenth street, when he saw in the snow a satchel, which he picked up. Among the contents of the satche] were about S125 in money and 8 commit tation ticket from Yonkers to New York. MT Burke sent note to the lady whose name appeared on the ticket, and had the pleasure of restoring the satchel to the owner, who loaded him with thanks and offers of reward. The reward was de- clined, but the lady obtained his address and they parted. Last week there came through the Adams Express company, nicely boxed and freight paid, large and expensive rocking chair.

HIGH LICENSE FAVORED.
What Prosecuting Agent Fowler Says

What Prosecuting Agent Fowler Says it
 Has Done for New Haven.
 Prosecuting Agent John s. Fowler of New Haven in giving his impressions of the license system, says that when he first came to New Haven in 1872 the Maine law was on the statute books, but nevertheless saloons could be found all over the city doing business openly and there were houses of ill fame with bars attached on the prin- cipal streets of the city.
 In 1872 the license law was passed con- taining in the main the same provisions as it does now although in 1882 it was amend ed in some important particulars Under the license law the result has been the re- duction in the number of drinking places In 1872 before the enactment there were about 800 drinking places, whereas now with 25,OOO more population there are not over 400. Again there are no places where the business of selling liquor and conducting a bawdy house are combined, unless it is done so secretly that the police and the public don't know of it. Thus, with double the population of 1862, there is comparatively less drunk enness and disorder on Sunday. To- day none but the initiated can get into a saloon on Sunday. MT. Fowler sums up the benefits of the license system thus |: Relatively fewer serious disorders, brawls and fights; fewer places of ill-repute :; fewer grocery stores where women can procure drink @ stronger control and larger restraint over the saloons and the saloonkeepers fewer persons of positively bad character in the business more quiet and orderly elections; less disorder and drunkenness on Sunday, and, lastly, an in- come from licenses which meets the public expense caused by the liquor traffic. Com pairing the present with % years ago, I should say our true policy for the future should be restrictive license law, high li- cense and an effectual enforcement"
