CHICAGO MARKET LETTER.

Furnished by the Topeka Grain and Stock
Exchange. Room 8. Columbian Building.
Wheat-The wheat market opened
firm and after a half cent reaction on
realizing sales rallied sharply. At
the top the elevator people began to
sell and marketed good deal of stuff.
They appear to be short, or rather
have sold against their stocks more free
Iy than usual, and would like to see a
decline to help them out Trade condi-
tions are turning rather bullish and with
present favorable news it looks
very bullish. There is an in
creasing demand from shippers which
NAV become very active. The weakness
in the northern markets has been quite
pronounced today. It is said parties
who have had spreads in these markets
have been selling long stuff there
and covering shorts elsewhere.
The trade is not very broad
at present and the professional
element is inclined to take the
short side, but it is doubtful if prices
can be pushed down much lower unless
some new factor is brought in to infu-
ence the market
Corn has been strong and active most

off and the shipping demand is

school at Nicodemus. The forgeries

Long Illness.
NEW YORK, May 8.-Russell Sage is
again in Wall street and not day too
soon, for there are lots of stock carriers
now who want a little accommodation
from the great ready money king. He
had missed a number of directors meet

he thinks of the number of shining So
gold pieces his attendance would have
earned.
Then, again, he has been his own COM
missary during his vacation, and has not
been able to enjoy the daily free lunches
at the Western Union building as an Of
fcer of the company. .
Barring these drawbacks, the old finau-
cier looked none the worse for his stay
at-hOme sojourn, and during the day
held levee, as many visitors called to
wish him joy and listen to his denial of
the report that he was to take trip
around the world.

Victims OF the Ikucheng Massacre Wer
burned and Spcared.

Victims of the ISucheng Massacre Were
burned and speared.
LONDON, Aug. 6.-The correspondents OF
The Times at Shanghai says that the mis-
sionaries killed az Kucheng were muir
dcrod by an organized band of 80 0s the
vegotarinns. The correspondent says.
"rhe ladies' begged for their lives, prom
ising 60 yield their property and valua-
blcs but the leader Of the band shouted
out his orders to kill them outright. A
corrected list of the victims is as follows:
Rev Mr.. and Mrs. Stewart, Miss Nell
lie Saunders and Miss Lena Irish, who
were burned In the house. Miss Stettie
Ncwcombe was spearod and thrown down
precipice. Miss Marshall had her throat
cut. Miss Gordon was spoared in the head.
Miss Topsy Saunders was speared. Master
Herbert Stewart skull was fractured and
the brain exposed. Lena Stewart died
from shock.
AT the Chinese legation here IL is stated
that no information has been received re-
garding the massacre Of missionaries near
kucheng beyond the meager statement
that five persons have been killed OF
wounded at Wha-Sang.
The Chinese magistrate at Kucheng
waited for the completion of the massacre
before appearing upon the scene there.
There are 200 soldiers at Kucheng. II
is therefore absurd TO say that the authori-
ties could not have stopped the massacre,
which was evidently carefully and secret
ly organized.

Hankow, has been destroyed, and the mis-.
