CRAZY BULGE IN WHEAT.

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE wheat mar
ket Topped over to-day. 1t opened Oh
a sort of crazy bulge about &c over last
nights close, with May 9615c, nominal;
June, 9GAc: July ,96c; September. 92l9c.
There was little reason for so radical a
start beyond the fact that the dry, cold
and poor growing weather continues IN
the West and Northwest. The curb
was largely accountable forl the stiff
opening in the pit. While everybody
apparently was buying, q few who
were first to see the toppy condition OF
the market sold at the high prices.
Hutchinson sold some openly, but the
gossip Of the floor was that he was
under the market and gathering in
wheat on every soft spot. The dis
patches were both buIiiSh and bearish.
New York cleared 100000 bu of wheat
and SINE flour. Tennessee sent
dispatches confirming the worst
damage reported. The millers, who
have been in convention, say that
their information is Of scnSatlOnally
bulish character. Dunn and Logan
both had dispatches telling of snow in
different counties in Dakota. On the
whole the market had settling down
tendency from the start. July from
$3.50 went off by degrees to $3.50 before
l O'Clock; just before the close it went
off to $3.50, but closed on recovery to
9l1sc, 115c higher than last nights clos
ing figure. Corn opened sc over yes
terday's prices on reports of cold and
wet weather in some sections and too
dry and cold in others, but estimated
large receipts for Monday dampened
the aIdor Of the bulls and the close was
&c lower than last night. Heavy re-
ceipts also affected the oat market and
the close was 3l@19sc lower. Provisions
we're dull and the days business re-
suited in further drop in pork of about
SOC per barrel, with ribs and lard weaker

Rockwell Enjoying His Honey.
moon With His Bride.

The happiest man in this big town to-
day is Gould Rockwell, of Ridgefeld
Conn.,, says New York paper.
Though eighty-two years of age
on Wednesday last, he led to the altar a
bride still In the twenties. They are
spending the honeymoon here. For
generation MIR. Rockwell has lived in
the old Rockwell homestead. on the
main street of his pretty Connecticut
town. and he is known for miles around
as a wealthy and staid old gentleman,
with hospitable instincts. His home is
"A comfortable mansion, filled with pic
lures and antique furniture, and is on
an elevation 800 feet above Long Island
sound. 1t was built in ante-revolution
days.
When it became known that Mr..
Rockwell intended to terminate his
widowerhood, which had lasted for five
years. surprise and curiosity were great.
and when the bridal couple went to the
depot to take the afternoon train for
this town they were surrounded by
neighbors, who wished them JOY, and
small boys who cheered. The train left
Ridgefield amid noisy blowing of
whistles. The couple are now at the

their residence in the old mansion.
The bride. who was Miss Mary Louise
Denman, is an attractive blonde from
Lewisboro, a town four miles from
Ridgefeld. She is said to be young
womanof sterling worth and sensible
ideas. She is member of the choir of
st. JOINTS Episcopal church, Lewisboro.
and an active worker in the Sunday
school. Her marriage to Mr.. Rockwell
was as astonishing an event to those
who best knew her as 1t was to the
bridgegroom's acquaintances. The two
had never been seen together, and Mr..
Rockwell admits that he met his wife
not more than six times before the mar
riage. The courtship was conducted
almost wholly by pen and ink. "Cor-
respondence, you know" said Mr.. Rock.

there are much less worse than
