BALTIMORE, Nd, April 1S.-Wm. Blaney. the
murderer who escaped from the city Jail last
evening. was captured at the house of his aunt,
Mrs. Frank White. on Sergeant street in South
west Baltimore at 1890 this morning.
The arrest was made by Patroimen Hussey
and Smith Of the southwestern district and
Deputy Wardens Burke and Meyer Of the Jail,
who had been watching the house. The in
mates of the house said Blaney came there
drunk this morning.
The house was watched by the officers all
night and was searched three times, the last
time at 10 80 o'clock today, when Blaney WAS
found in drunken stupor. He was taken to
the patrol box at Wooster street aud Washing
ton avenue, from which the patrol wagon was
summoned He was then taken first to the
southwestern station and thence to Marshal
Freys Office.
Blaney was too drunk to sit unaided and was
supported by his captors on the floor of the
patrol wagon. He had to be carried almost
bodily into the marshars Office. Blaney was too
drunk to make any resistance when captured,
but had to be handcuffed in the marshal 9
Office. He cursed and struggled and had to be
held by two officers before being pinioned
When in the wagon Sll were taken from him
and he demanded his money from the officers
with frequent oaths.

back to Jail Immediately after his interview
with Marshal Frey. He re-entered the wagon
by the North street entrance OF the city hall in
order to avoid the immense crowd that had
collected on the Lexington street side. Sheriff

First Quotations in Wall Street Somewhat
Depressed-A Reaction Follows.
NV YoRK, April 1s.--Another large engage
ment of gold for shipment met the stock mar
ket at the opening this morning. and first
prices were therefore generally slight fractions
lower than last evenings figures, and the subse-
quent dealings displayed dropping tendency,
without material change in quotations and
with no animation outside of the limited group
Of stocks which has monopolized the attention
Of spectators of late.
Among the active stocks Chicago gas was the
only notable exception to the rule, and il rose
per cent to 49A on large trading. while
among the specialties Illinois Central rose to
SO and Tennessee coal dropped a like amount
to "a under the influence OF the protest of
the stockholders against the proposed sale
Of part OF the property of the company. No
other movements of importance took place, but
late in the hour firmer tone prevailed and in
most cases the slight early losses were recov-
cred. At II O'Clock the market was dull and
steady to firm at about the level OF the open
ing figures
Money is easy at per cent The stock mar
ket developed considerable animation in the
last hour and the firm tone remained with the
effect of lifting prices small fractions further.
There was no feature OF interest, however,
and the close was firm and fairly active at the
best prices, which were only slightly higher
than those Of the opening.

lowing changes: Reserve, decrease, q, 293. 100;

The Wheat Market Becomes Excited and
Prices Leap Upward.
CHICAGO, April 1s.-The wild furry in wheat,
which has been on foot the past two days is
still in full swing today. May wheat closed
yesterday afternoon at 1l0H. On the curb
later, the feeling was easier and trading opened
\ lower at 110L this morning Early public
cables quoted wheat at Liverpool strong and
vate advices from there said the market was
advancing and excited. The market went
booming, jumping by quarters and halves
and within minute the price was Ill.
1t did not stop there, and ten minutes later
marked 113. This climb was assisted BY some
IDENTIFY convinced them that the European crop
situation is serious, and that the dis
patches heretofore received in regard to it
were not mere bull scares Consequently
they came to the conclusion this morning to
make the best terms possible and ran to cover,
One dollar and thirteen cents was the figure
referred to before any sign Of hesitsncy. The
price then reacted to 1925 under this deluge
Of offerings
At 1925 May was quoted at ia and July
110A; 112H was the bottom figure on the
break and another excited advance began, car
rying prices to the highest point yet attained.
Pandemonium reigned in the pit. Excited
and perspiring traders shouted themselves
hoarse In their frantic efforts to be heard. May
steadily rose to 1l3. the outside figure on the
first bulge, passed it and soon went to 1I4J<.
and it was reported that one sale was made as
high as lis. That was the top; another deluge
OF realizing sales followed and inside of ten
minutes the price was down to 1929.
A prominent house had Paris advices at
about this time that wheat there was 10 CEN
times lower. and from New York that there was
some heavy liquidation there.
At 1850 the market had become compare
lively quiet and steady at 112A for May.
Corn opened at about 725s for May, or Il
higher than it closed yesterday, sold of to 72l
and then, under heavy purchases and in sym
pathy with the strength in wheat, advanced ex-
citedly to 1919, but reacted to 1871 before IL
o'clock. Provisions were quiet and steady.
