CHICAGO. May 22.-Hot winds were
Kansas yesterday. cooking the wheat and
the estimate of the states yield was re
duced 10 100000 bushels. There was
considerable covering here today by
shorts on the showing and Cudaby's
brokers we're active buyers for time, so
that during the first half hour there was
an advance of &c. There were also reports
OF bad weather in the Northwest with
lower temperature. But the deliveries
were very heavy. rain was reported In
France and Germany and the drouth was
said to have been completely broken in
England. The Kansas situation seemed
so soon forgotten and prices turned
weak with u meager volume of businss.
The visible supply was disappointment,
the trade having been looking for

little over 100000 bushels. The market
opened at about the closing figures OF Sat

lower for July and 4c for Sept. than Satur-
day. There was good selling of corn by
some Of the larger shipping concerns, but
the crowd took the offerings readily and
prices held firm. A liberal reduction in
local stocks and large decrease in the Wis
IDLE, together with talk of cold weather all
had a tendency to sustain and advance
the price. The market opened shade un-
der the final figures of Saturday; was easy
for the moment, but soon rallied, selling
up &c, worked back &c. advanced Sc, re-
coded trife, ruled frmer, and at the
close had gained 4@sc.

The other futures advanced ia &c except
September, which only advanced &c. The
close was steady at about the top. The
reign of dulless in provisions that set in
last week was continued today. There
was scarcely anything doing with the mar
ket lower in sympathy with THE weakness,
in live hogs at the yards and a lack of

on Egypt" Mr. Miller has made three
trips to the old world in search of proof of
the holy bible. He returned from one of
those srips but Jew weeks since. The

the good word Mr.. Miller had for them.
Before the lecture Elder d. f. Storifer
made a very impressive prayer. and al the
request of Mr.. Miller one verse was sang
OF "0h Lord, for Thee l Sigh"
Elder Miller made many statements of
things seen by him and explained how they
verified statements in the bible. He Wis.,
tied Rome and there saw where st. Paul
did portion of bis work. He visited the
ancient tombs. He alec visited the birth
place OF Columbus at Genoa. His lecture

The sound was appalling and was

TTPToN. Nav 22.-[Specisl. CHARLES
Spencer. a resident of this city, died last
night at 10 O'Clock. His death was due to
stran0ulation of the bowels. A surgeon
performed an operation on him in the aft
ernoon, and the intestines were found to
be twisted in such a manner that medical
assistance could do nothing for him. Nor
LITIGATION had already set in and he died
in great pain.
Some time ago Mr.. Spencer had re-
marksble dream which resulted in reunit-
ing him and his long-lost sister. Ii seems
that about thirty-fiye years ago man
named Robinson left his home in England
and became a seafarinR man. After trav-
cling for some time he landed in New Or
loans, and from that place he driited
to Indiana, whore he was liv-
ing at the breaking out of the
war. He volunteered and served through
out the war. In 1865 he married q sister
of Charley Spencer and moved to Chicago.
From there all trace Of them was lost and
several efforts we're made to ascertain their
whereabouts, but to no avail. One night
Mr.. Spencer dreamed that his sister was
living at Barrowiord. New Bridge, IL
Lee-st,, Lancashire. England. He had
never heard of this place. but the dream
impressed him so that he determined TO
write to the address. He did so, and in
about IA month he received letter from
his sister.
The correspondence was kept up for
a while. and q few weeks ago Mr.. and
Mrs. Robinson and their children came
from England to Upton. where they will
make their future home.

The free gold' in the treasury today.
according to the treasurer's books, is 81

sideration the gold shipped from New
York last Saturday. When this is sub
tracted. the gold reserve of Sl00000.00O
will still remain intact, but the margin
will be thin. The week opened today
with large receipts, and it is probable that
the debt statement on June L will make q
