sPRINGTIME.

The air is filed with murmurs soft
OF natures waking voces
The little birds trill their sweet lays,
And all the world rejoices.
The green sward covers vale and hill,
And natures face Is glowing.
For 1t knows that on its bosom soon
Bright blossoms Will be growing.
The fragile poppy soon will bloom.
With gold the hills adorning,
And all the lovely flowers Will ope
To greet the GOd OF Morning.

GRAINS GREAT DAY.
A wfId Time ON Change in Chicago-Corn
Of Only Secondary Interest, but Rises
to Sensational Height-Rye Also an
Ercited Market

A wf1d Time ON Change In Chicago-Corn
Of Only Secondary Interest, but Rises
to q Sensational Height-Rye Also an
Excited Market.
CRICAGO-The London dealers in cereals
completely lost all control over the wheat,
corn and rye markets this morning, and
many times during the day they as clearly
lost control over themselves. The day was
of the most intense excitement in the
wheat pit, description of which Is more
fully set forth in THE DIsPArcH's news
columns.
Corn was of only secondary interest to-
day The fluctuations were frequent and Of
sufficient severity to be called sensational,
and, as in wheat the trend of prices was
its pinnacle when it touched CSC, and it
stood at e21Sc at the close of the session, or
2}4c above the point it stopped at yesterday:
the excitement in the wheat market.
Oats hardly kept pace with other cereals,
the net gain amounting to only &@4c.
The news of the German excitement in rye
set the market to pumping here. No. cash,
starting at 97c, sold up to 81 Oh, closing at
81 031. September started at 99c and sold to
81 o.. During the past week there has been
Soc advance and yet the demand is un-
abated. Since yesterdays closing cash rye
advanced 10c; August, loo; September, Sc,
and October SIC
The provision market was firm but ap-
peared to draw its support mainly from the
tremendous advance in oorn and wheat.
The receipts of hogs were lighter than had
been looked for and the prices higher. The
opening prices showed considerable ad-
vances. After half of that early gain had
been dropped there was another and heavier
advance toward the middle of the session,
but in the end the price worked back to
about the opening point. The gains since
yesterday are, pork, 1l1aQ25c; lard, 6@714o
and ribs, &c.
The leading futures ranged as follows, as
reported by John NJ. Oakley & Co., 45 Sixth
street, members of Chicago Board of Trade:

Imagine what for Comrade Quay is too
loyal a Grand Army man to permit politics
to enter the organization, one of the cardinal
principles of which is freedom from
politics That Comrade Reed "voted
Pennsylvanias 50 delegates solidly for
Lincoln is foolishly false. He was not
delegate himself and had nothing to do with
the voting AS the the "Wily ColonePs
seconds" are not members of the Grand
Army how they can be connected with the
case is bevond all comprehension. The in
timation contained in the statement that
''all these men are ambidexterous wire
handlers" is an insult to every member of
the Grand Army.
Comrade Reed had nothing, absolutely
nothing to do with the vote of the Pennsyl-
vania delegation either on the place for
holding the next encampment or any other
question. The delegates who voted in favor
of Lincoln were influenced solely by the
speeches in the encampment. A maj jority OF
the delegation favored Lincoln. and as the
unit rule had been decided upon the votes
were cast solidly for Washington's opponent.
Comrade Reed was taken to task at yester-
days meeting of the Grand Army Day Com
mittee for having given the information con-
tanned in the offensive article quoted above.
A full account of the meeting will be found
in the local columns.
