WHEAT CHANGES FRONT.

Bullish News From Abroad and Continued
Bad Weather Help It-Professionals
Bearish at the start-Corn a Fraction
Higher-Everything Else Unchanged.
CHICAGo-The professional sellers and
scalpers were against wheat all day until
near the close, when they gave up the fight
and turned to part of their short sales. The
bullish news from England. France and
India and the stubborn strength of the May
option locally had much to do with the
change of front. Compared with last night,
May wheat this evening is ssc up, and July
sc. Corn is &c higher; oats, pork and ribs
are practically unchanged. There was no
heavy trading in any of the pits.
The delivery last evening OF SOC, 600 bushels
of wheat, said to come from elevator peo-
pie, was expected to depress the Nay price
at least. Instead, May sold at "A to &c
premium over July. One explanation was
that the wheat which the elevator men sent
around was taken in by commission houses
which had previously bought it in the pit on
orders from the same men who were sending
it out, presumably for its effect upon the
market. The closing was about &c under
the opening, or the same as Yesterdays
closing. Prices advanced about A4ssc, then
declined 15@5sc, again advanced H@lc and
ruled quite strong. The weather continues
to have considerable effect upon the market,
ii not the controlling influence.
Holders of corn at the opening were afraid
of a slump in case of bright weather. and
shorts were afraid of bulge in case more
rains were reported. This made sensitive
market The Weather Bureau showed rains
pretty general again over Kansas, Nebraska,
Iowa and Illinois early. This started the
market at an advance. Then Price Current
dispatch was circulated, saying the late
rains had not as yet seriously prejudiced
corn crop prospects. This caused some sell
ing and drop with wheat. Local operators
who got short trying to start break in
July under 43c were quick to buy on a little
rally and there was a good recovery later.
Oats, after opening firm, weakened with
the other cereals on fine weather reports,
but eventually recovered.
Provisions were extremely dull and the
fluctuations insignificant.

gives no sign of abatement. The situation
favors buyers all along the line. Until the

but large receipts have served to weaken

Eiectrifying seeds.

DR.. Leicester, of Bristol, England,
has been studying the growth of
seeds in earth artificially electrified
A box three feet long by nearly three
wide was filed with choice soil. At
one end a zinc plate and at the other
end a copper one we're placed, and
were united outside by q copper
wire. They were about one foot
square. BY the chemical action ON
the zinc plate, q current passed
through the earth toward the copper
plate, and returning by the copper
wire made a circuit. The box was
thus very simple cell or battery.
Seeds were soWn in the soil be-
tween the plates, and their growth
was much more rapid than that Of
similar seeds planted in a similar
box, but one without the metal
plates.
Similar experiments made with
glass tanks filed with soil show sim
liar results. Hempseed, sown in an
electrified glass tank, was fully an
inch high before any sprouts could
be seen in unelectrified earth. It
was found, too, that If the doctor
watered the soii with a little very
dilute acetic acid the growth was
much quicker in the electrified soil.

A RATTY BUSINESS.

Since closing out the stock Of the
late business of Mr.. A. s. Goulden, on
on the corner Of Queen and Burke
streets, Mr.. S. H. Martin has been
amusing himself by making away with
rats. This corner, for years past, has
been notorious den for rats, which
have been source Of great loss and
annoyance to every merchant who oc-
cupied it. They did not altogether
suit Mr.. Martin, and to the advantage
Of Mr.. Spillman, who takes the room,
he decided to lessen the Already large
number Of pests. With rat poison he
baited the place well, and awaited de
velopments. Several days afterward
number of large ones were killed on
the street, having gotten the poisonand
being in dying conditions. Will Rob
/ erts and Charlie Westenhaver couldn't
even walk down street without having
them under their feet. We suppose,
Il < 80
on account of large feet, they took
them for the cellar doors. Anyhow
the rats were killed. Last week the
time arrived for cleaning out the eel
lar, and Lewis Hite succeeded in gath
ering up fifty-three, which filed a good
sized keg. Later on Sam Dodd en-
gagged a carpenter by contract, and
had portion of the wall in his Office
cut out, which adjoins the corner
building, another large fellow was Sc
cured, having crawled up between the
plastering and died. Doubtless, it
would pay many Of our merchants to
engage the services of Mr.. Martin, and
make the business s'rattyn generally.

Mr.. Jonathan Staybolt had no per

Gigsby, who was counting his daugh-

Gigsby would 60 home a little ear

honored hint to lovers, had no effect
upon him, but Mr.. Stayboit thought
that q sudden great uproar in the

turbing to make him think that it
was about time to go. His plan was
to roll the washboiler down the
back stairs. Mrs. Staybolt did not
enter very heartily into that plot,
but she let him have the boiler.
He carried it up stairs early IN the
evening, and at IL o'clock he started
it. It made as much noise as though
it had been a railroad through the
house. Mr.. Staybolt expected in the
intense stiffness that followed to
hear Mr.. Gigsby step out into the
hall for his hat and overcoat, but in
stead of that he heard him say I'd
Clara: Goodness! How careless il
was to leave that boiler where il

Then Mr.. Staybolt gave it up, and
he never knew until after the young

bolt had told Clara about the boiler
hours before he started it rolling.
