Chicago Grain Market,

CHiCAGO-There was an immense trade to-
day in wheat, and the market was unusually
wild one prices varying SO rapidly that jumps
of 15c to 1c were made in May and
June and Lc to 1c in July without trade.
Excitement was at fever heat, and so anxious
were buyers at times that offers Of 7&c to 1c
above what previous sales were made at were
rapidly accepted. Buyers fairly jumped for
the wheat. At times the market was bare of
offerings for May and June. and the sharp ad-
vance IN prices in these deliveries carried up
the more deferred futures but the advance
was not so great as in the nearer futures.
May opened NC higher, and sold up &c more
reaching 81, then eased of and closed at SIC
higher than yesterday Up TO noon prices
ranged from 94c to Csc. and then jumped to 99c
to 81 very quickly. June advanced &c and
closed about 471c higher than yesterday. July
was very erratic and opened from nc to Ic
higher than yesterdays closing, advanced very
irregularly 31315c more, and closed &c higher
than yesterday. Orders came pouring in from
all quarters, the majority to buy, though a
good many selling orders were received from
parties, who, having prOfits In their favor were
disposed to realize. Parties who had sold yes
terday in expectation of lower market on pros
poets of rain, covered freely to-day.
Trading was general and individuality was
almost lost in the shuttle. A prominent trader
was reported as having bought freely aud there
were some parties who thought it was short
wheat There was nothing new in the situa-
tion, the excitement and nervousness being at
tributed to the continued dry weather in the
Northwest and bad crop news. Although
cloudy weather was reported in the Northwest
scarcely any rain has fallen with the exception
of a slight shower at Duluth and st. Paul Ad-
wees from South Dakota report the ground dry
as powder and high winds blowing seed out or
the ground. Several dispatches of this tenor
were received from the Northwest. To Offset
these advices, however, a harvester company
claimed that if rain came within d week or ten
days the crop would be all right The acreage
g. n
is larger in others, and may on the whole be as
large as last year.

A VERY BIG DEAL.
Henry Willard Is Sill in the Market and
Buying Largely.

Buying Largely.
CHICAGO, May 3.-The Euening Journal
says: There is every reason to believe that
Mr.. Willard and the Northern Pacific Rail-
road Company have acquired control of the
Chicago and Great Western Railroad and
the Calumet and Chicago Terminal Rail-
road. In fact it is given out on reliable au-
thority that the two roads and all their
equipments and property have been pur-
chased, the price paid being $50, 900, 900.
Securities to the amount oi something
over the purchase price will be issued against
the property thus acquired after sufficient
time elapses to perfect the details of these
great transactions.
The property included in the sale con-
sists of the following: The Calumet and
Chicago Terminal road, which starts on the
property of the Calumet Land Improve
ment Company at Hammond, Ind, runs
west to Blue Island, thence northwest
through the town OF Worth, and northward
to Lagrange. The line consists of 80 miles
of track. The Chicago and Great Western
starts from Harrison street and Fifth ave-
nue., westward to point about mile west
of Cicero. 1t is over this company's track
that the Northern Pacific and Wisconsin
Central roads bring their trains into Chi
cago. The Chicago and Great Western
owns two blocks of land on the east side of
the river, and leasehold of part of. Sec
ton 16, town OF Cicero, running 20 Years.
the latter land being used for transfer yards,
1t controls about 140 acres of land in Cicero
and Chicago, which is declared by an ex-
pert with the subject to be worth $40 00O, 900.
The company also owns the magnificent new
depot at Harrison street and Fifth avenue.
which is valued at 81, ,OOO, 900.

Special to John NJ. Oakley & Co.:
NEW YORK, May 3.-The accumulated senti.
ment over night favored further reaction. but
no one had the courage to predict anything i'm
portant in the way of slump. The:Grangers
were the softest stocks In the market on ac-
count of Hills cut via Duluth lines, but the
announcement of renewed attempts to be made
next week to patch up some kind of an agree
ment encouraged holders to keep their stocks.
st. Paul earnings for the fourth week of April
increased S74, ,430 gross. The sentiment on
AtchisOn, st. Louis and San Francisco and At
lautic and Pacific issues IS so favorable that it
Is safe to predict closer alliances between these
roads. Rock Island, which runs two long arms
frmness wonderfully well considering it's
limited earnings.
In the presence of these facts. the relatively
low price of Gould's Missouri Pacific and his
Sphinx-like silence or vagueness of expression,
create the impression that astute as he Is. the
Atchison and Rock Island people may have
been getting the better of him in the South
heretofore obtained by his road. The Lead
Trust is now earning money under Its able.
busness-like management. 1t is understood to
be making over Il of a cent per pound on white
lead more thaDa year ago, beside which, It's
linseed oil department is prof able.
The baLk statement was not very decisive
one way or the other, but it was not disappoint-
ing. The reserve was s2O0, 900 less. but this was
due to an increase of nearly $500 in deposits.
The actual cash is about the same as 1t was last
week. There is again the same favorable show
ing in the item of loans, which are increased
only $l59, 900. This demonstrates the fact that
marginal purchases have not been increased

on bank and insurance stocks, with the usual

There is every indication of increased activity
as soon as a settlement of the labor trouble
shall be effected, but in the meantime both
sides are disposed to move cautiously to avoid
market and holders refuse concessions on the
ground that there is nothing calling for a sacri-
flee. This places the marke: in a waiting atti-
tude, with very little stimulus needed to give it
an upward direction.

THE NEW ERA IN CITY BUILDING.

The Old Fashion of ErcctinG Long Rows Of
Houses Just Alike In Going Out.
Carpentry and Building.I
1t is pleasing thought that the habit of
building long rows of city houses, all
exactly alike in outward appearan ce,
as we'll as in interior arrangement,
is fast going out of fashion. The
marble trimmed rows of Philadelphia,
the brown stone rows of New York, the
brick rows of Baltimore, st. Louis and other
cities, SO monotonous in their lines and so
opposed to all ideas of distinctive individual
lty, are fast becoming things of the past.
They are being rapidly replaced by dwell
ings, artistic in all their details, each having
Its own particular charm no two of which
are exactly alike,

American barrels are made Of oak and weigh
from 65 to 70 pounds. Barrels similar to the
American ones but of beech wood, are now
made in Germany, and many Of them are made
in such way as to seriously defraud the re-
taller. On the inside of one, or perhaps both
the ends, is screwed block of beech wood, OF
presence of which is revealed when the cask is
empty on account of its extra weight.
There are said to be large numbers OF these
casks in use at the present time in Westphalia.
The block of wood screwed on to the end of
the cask weighs from II to % pounds, which
means of course, a corresponding net loss of
to the retailer.

Ana TOOK his wife as the First Subject TO
Operate On.
WATERBURY, May 3.-Arther jackson,
colored, of Bristol, while drunk last night
at II o'clock went to the Bristol House.
where his wife is a waitress, and demanded
that she go home. She got up and dressed
to save a scene, and went home. First he
made her hold alight while he killed his
dog with an ak; then with razor he began
operations on the woman. He cut her
throat horribly, and also cut off several of
her fingers.
Z But for the arrival of a neighbor, Jack
Fish, who found the man kicking the diving
woman, he would probably have cut her in
pieces. jackson had saturated the room
with kerosene oil. and was evidently in
tending to burn the house. Jealousy is said
to be the cause. jackson was arrested at
Plainville this afternoon at the house of
James Bishop, where he was eating dinner.
jackson and his wife have been married
four years and have one child.
