Excitement on Change In Chicago-The
Northwestern Blizzard Responsible
ny telegraph to the Dlspatchl
CHICAGO, May 20.-Wilder clamor and
excitement over the scarcity of grain and
provisions than was witnessed to-day on
Change could scarcely be imagined in
starving Russia. The short sellers, big
and little, were in panic. The price of
May corn shot up 7 cents, and closed
within cent OF the top. The July OPP
ton gained 81 cents. Wheat Is up y,
and pork, lard and ribs are respectively
60. -, and ~ cents higher. a biz
zard. following the disastrous rain-hoods
for a month, was the horror. Corn was
agitated from the start, and an immense
volume of business was transacted.
The opening found the crowd anxious
and the offerings light. Partridge was
heavily short in July, and rushed brokers
from half dozen houses into the pit to
get his corn back. The trade had none
to sell to meet so great a demand. The
small shorts. too, were scrambllng for
corn. Every message on the floor was
discouraging. The May price, held at
55lc at the start, went to SIC. and on to
5Sc. as soon Is the bidding began, and
sellers held il at 60c June was quoted
at 46}c. and 47ic., and sellers offered 1t
at 4qc. on the early bulge. SO July was
st 45c. TO 40 C. at the start, went to 46lc.,
back to Acc, and then jumped to 47sc.
before II o'clock. For an hour there
was let-up in the panicky feeling, and
July dropped back TO 46.c. Partridge
later tried 10 buy, and the price jumped
TO 47Ic. in a few minutes. This opened
m the excitement anew, and May sold
quite freely at Coo, jumped to Gle, and
went on to 62c. before o'clock. June
was quoted at 1870. at the same time.
while July passed the high point OF the
morning and went squarely up to 49c
Corn closed with the trade greatly ex-
cited and top prices pretty well held.
In wheat the opening was about &c.
higher than Yesterday s close, the market
then advancing &C., recedlng &C., adj
yancing 1lc., receding l!c., rallylng
1sc.. fuctuating some, and closing about
&c. higher than yesterday. A sharp de
mand existed, and outside parties bought
freely. The short interest covered
freely and felt rather uneasy at the
situation. There was no great quantity
Of wheat offered, though on different
bulges some realizing followed. The
feeling was decidedly nervous. A heavy
trade was carried on in oats, the market
being greatly stimulated by the strength
of corn and closing lial &c. higher.
The provision trade caught the bull
fever from the grainpits. The opening
price was lOc. over last night in sym
pathy with corn. This was the key to
the situation danger to the corn crop
and higher prices in the corn-pit The
strength caused the local shorts to cover
early in the day. Then the packers be-
gan taking products. May operators,
after covering short sales, took the long
side for an upturn, and the final figures
we're the highest Of all.

Mr.. Holman gave notice that here
after the Appropriations Committee
would insist that river and harbor
contracts be provided for in the river

Mr. kilgore raised a point OF order
against the clause in the bill appro-
prIating $50, 900 for the preparation OF a
site and the erection of pedestal for
statue OF the late General w. I. Sher-
man in the city OF Washington. At the
conclusion OF a long debate upon the
point OF order the Chair (Mr Herbert)
said that he would like TO override
the point of order if he could see his
way clear TO do so. But he could find
no law authorizing the appropriation,
and was constrained TO sustain the point
and rule out the clause.
Mr.. Henderson, OF Iowa, then asked
unanimous consent TO reinsert the clause,
but Mr.. kilgore objected.
Mr. Henderson then gave notice that
he would call the matter upin the House
tomorrow IN the shape OF o separate bill
and ask unanimous consent for It's con-
sideraton.
Pending further action the committee
rose.
Mr.. Herbert, from the Committee on
Naval Affairs, reported back the naval

amendments thereto, and asked unani-

Mir Dickerson, of Kentucky, objected

United States Pension for Mrs. Jefferson
Davis.
KING AND QUEEN COUNTY, Va,
Nav IL. 1892,

mdy -, io'-'
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Now that "the cruel war; is over and
sectional animosity is or should have
been buried with the great Confederate
leader. would it not be a graceful thing
for our present Congress TO grant his
widow a liberal pension in consideration
Of Colonel jefferson Daviss eminent
services as leader Of the gallant Missis-
sippi Rifles who made such brilliant
record at Buena Vista and elsewhere
during the Mexican War? In my
opinion such action would be cor
daily endorsed by every soldier
North and South, whether Union
or Confederate, and tend greatly toward
restoration OF complete harmony. As
Senator Cullom is broad-gauged man,
who has always shown himself friend
TO the old soldier, he would be eminently
lifted TO lead in this movement. The
writer has been for years an adopted
citizen of the North has always been n
political opponent of Mr.. Davis, yet
having known him personally since a
hoy has ever regarded him gallant
soldier, a courteous gentleman, not in
clined to bear malice, and one who would
have taken pride in suggesting such ac-
ton toward the relict OF dead foe had
the tables been turned.

WASHINGTON. ID. G. May 20.-1t is
said at the White House this morning
that Mrs. Harrison had good, restful
sleep last night, and is feeling more
comfortable this morning. There is no
truth in the report that Mrs. Harrisons
condition is dangerous and that the
family is in a state OF alarm. Mrs.
Mckee SAID this morning that che was
encouraged at the improvement already
shown in Mrs. Harrison's condition
since her return to the White House
yesterday afternoon. She added that
she knew her mother had had good
sleep last night, because she was by her
side all night. Mrs. Harrison is still
very weak, however, and is in need OF a
good, long rest. She will probably be
taken to tho mountains IN a few weeks
if she can stand the journey. Her re-
lapse is attributed to cold. damp weather
on Chesapeake Bay following the I'M
usually wet season.
