They Had Field Day in the Chicago
Grain-Pits.
CHICAGO, April 25.-This was field day for
the bears in all of the grain-pits, and provi-
sions even, which were inclined to be dull and
steady, finally caught the infection and went
off moderately. The next result of the days
trading was loss of % in the prices of
wheat, % in corn, and 80 in oats. The news
OF the day was unusually bearish. The crop
reports were rosy, the receipts in the North
west were heavy, English markets were lower,
and exports for the week were disappointing.
About the only encouragement for advocates
OF higher prices were a reported advance at
Paris and Berlin, and private report of frost
damage in Kentucky. July wheat started at
1883, sold to 1851, went up speedily to 1901,
then started down again. There were
brief halts and moderate reactions at 1889, the
'put" price at 1OS, at 1911, at 1074, and at 1O6s
From the latter figure there was a rally to
1O7, but this was lost near the close, which
was easy at practically the lowest prices of
the day. The bears sold wheat right and left,
took it in on the bad breaks, and again threw
it on the msrket whenever there was sus-
picion of rally Their power increased con-
stantly and before the session ended they
were apparently in complete control There
was free selling also created to New York
parties, and some wheat held by interior
traders was closed out, on which stop-loss
limits had been placed.

Miss Couzins's Removal.

No action will be taken by the Treasury
Department at present in the case of Miss
Phoebe w. Couzins, who was removed from
the position of secretary of the board of lady
managers of the Worlds Fair, and which
was brought to the attention of the Depart
ment by letter from Mr.. c. II. Jones, the
chairman of the committee on finance of the
Exposition. All vouchers for expenditures
of money appropriated by Congress for the
commission must be approved by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury. When the voucher of
the lady who succeeded Miss Couzins as secre-
tary for her salary for the portion of the
month of April which she will have served is
presented to the Department for approval, the
Department will then have something as a
basis upon which to take action. Meanwhile
nothing will be done. The Secretary
of the Treasury is in receipt of a letter
from Mr.. T. B. Bulleme, one of the
Worlds Fair commissioners from Missouri,
in which he fully concurs in the views ex-
pressed by Mr.. q. Fl. Jones in his letter to
Secretary Foster with respect to the case of

ment was Unexpectedly favorable, and where
there had been disposition to discount an
other loss In reserve there was some hustlng
to get back the stocks sold. The strongest
stocks of the day were Northern Pacific pre-
ferred, Union Pacific, Rock Island aud st.
Paul among the leaders, and among the
usually inactive list Wheeling and Lake Erie,
Louisville, New Albany and Chicago, and
Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago and st. Louis.
Another advance OF nearly 3 per cent. in
Louisville, New Albany and Chicago to-day
was made on the announcement that the
floating debt of the company has been paid
and the new traffic arrangements have been
made with the East Tennessee and Lake Erie
and Western roads.
The payment of the dividend on the pre-
ferred stock of the Plttsburg, Cincinnati,
Chicago and st. Louis, together with the ex-
cellent statement, had the effect of making a
sharp squirt in that stock also to-day and
from 60 it shot up to 65, making most of the
gain at the close. The buying of Northern
Pacific preferred, however, was the great
feature OF the market, and gave line as to
the character of the late selling of the stock.
1t kept pace with st. Paul in activity, while
no other stock approached it in strength
among the leading shares. The demand for
stocks, after a strong opening, which was
made at advances over last evenings figures

however, and some stocks were brought down

continued selling for long account maintained
most of the early gains to the end. The in
dustrials were not prominent at any time.

THE LATE MRS. f. M. JOYCE.
A Lady Whose Beautiful Traits of Char

Lady Whose Beautiful Traits of Char
acter Made AllLove Her.
The death early Friday morning of Mrs.
Frances M. Joyce not only caused profound
grief to the loving children and grandchildren
Of the estimable lady, but was felt as keen
affiiction by wide circle of devoted friends.
Mrs. Joyce was woman whose beautiful
character made all who came within her infu-
ence better and kindlier men and women.
In every relation of life the sweetness, the sim
cerity, the beautiful Christian strength and
gentleness of her nature won for her the love
and esteem of all who knew her. To her the
practice of the Christian virtues
that make humanity better and the
world better worth living In came with
an ease that bespoke heart of innate and
unalloyed goodness and temperament of the
most beautiful poise and evenness. Her life
was full of activity, and she never knew what
1t was TO tire In doing good. Not only to
those in distress and affliction through the
loss of relatives and friends, but as well to
and to relieve. She was the most devoted,
patient, and self-sacrificing of mothers, and
studied with constant watchfulness the well
fare, the comfort, and the pleasure of all
about her. Her warm, even-tempered, and
kindly nature made perpetual sunshine
and all about her was as a gar
den in spring time, where bloomed in
sweet luxuriance the flowers of an almost
perfect Christian life. The loss of such
mother may well seem irreparable to the de-
voted children, whose sole consolation must
be that her gracious spirit has passed to
world where 1t may receive its fitting reward,
which this world could never give it.
The deceased lady was the mother of twelve
children, seven OF whom survive, as well as
twenty. one grandchildren and two great
grandchildren. Her living children are George
r. and X. Edwin Joyce, Miss Margaret Joyce,
Mrs. William John Miller, Mrs. William H.
Dempsey, Mrs Charles G. Thorne, of this city,
Deceased was the widow Of the late Andrew
j. Joyce, the well-known carriage builder
Her father was William Norris, lawyer of
this city, who died many years ago, when
young man of thirty. Her mother died early
on Tuesday last. Mrs Joyce's funeral viii take
place from the family residence at 10 O'Clock
Monday morning, and the pallbearers will be
her eight grandsons.
