Chicago, Jan. 31.-Uncertainty re-
garding the expected bond issue pre-
vented marked changes in prices on
The board of trade today. In wheat
there were more sellers than buyers
and May closed at e cent lower. May
corn closed 20 cent lower; May oats IA
cent lower and provisions at declines.
The wheat spectators at the opening
of the market appeared to consider yes
terday's closing price for May - cent
too high and knocked off the obnoxious
fraction. Liverpool was higher for fu-
lures and Berlin l mark better than it
closed yesterday with Paris little low
CT for spot wheat and shade higher
for next months delivery. Minneapo-
lis and Duluth together received only
153 cars compared with 167 on last
Thursday and 223 cars on the CORES
bonding day of the year before. The
selling in the first half hour was by the
local crowd while New York and St
Louis at the same time sent liberal or
ders to buy. The expectation of an ear
" issue Of bonds was regarded as in ia
ror of the bulls but the conflicting news
from Washington prevented radical
. changes either way. The opening price
Of May wheat was from 53js cents to
5SA cents as compared with 53as cents
sellers at the close yesterday. The gen.
eral tendency was downward for about
an hour and half, or until the returns
of the days receipts and shipments at
the primary markets had all come to
hand. The total primary market re-
ceipts were only 31s, sos bushels. Some
buying by previous sellers was the re-

an hour. let go and it rose temporarily
for the second time to 53$s cents. There
was renewed selling at the advance
however and My finished at 53 cents
Corn was lower. The principal fea-
ture was the fact that many of the
buyers of yesterday were sellers today
while the demand was light Bartlett
Frazier and Baldwin-Garnum led the
selling among the big operators and the
small fry soon tailed on. While some
of the early transactions were at yes
terday's close, there was gradual
drop. May sold early at A cents and
fell steadily to 43%dk cents split.
There was q quiet business during the
closing hour. May closing at 4S3s cents
Oats were also slow and inclined to
be easy, following in the wake of corn
and closing at 2S1h cents.
Provisions started with a show OF
strength, helped by hog receipts under
the estimate and better prices at the
yards Armour and other packers how

resulted. There was some recovery
but at the close May pork was 12ls
cents and May ribs az cents lower and
May lard unchanged.

Rocks That Float In Water.

A geologist who is well up in his
business can name dozen or twenty
different specimens of rocks and min
erals that have less specific gravity
than water, and which will, if tossed
into that element, float on the surface.
Hubelite is one of the best known rep
resentatives of that class; the common
pumice stone is another example. The
rock with the very least specific grav-
itv known is ''damari," a substance

months ago was solved yesterday by
finding the revolver which he had at
the tue he was murdered. 1t has
been identified by the widow. It was
found in the possession of German

the noted bandit, Zip Wyatt, bride
to aid him in eluding the officers be-

no doubt but that Wyatt participated

QUAY WINS.
Gets Nearly Half the Delegates
in Philadelphia,
When Hastings Was Thought to
Be in Control.
WILL BE CHAIRMAN
Of the Republican State Central
Committee.
WILL BE CHAIRMAN

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 21.-The
Republican primaries to select seventy
delegates to the State convention, and
also to choose candidates for various
city offices were held last night. The
Quay faction have certainly elected
eighteen delegates and possibly TWEEN
ty-two, with one or two districts with
five additional delegates still in doubt.
The anti-Quay people eoncede the SEN
ator sixteen votes.
Never. before in the history of the
Republican party in this city has there
been such fight in the primaries. In
many wards almost the full Repub-
lican vote was polled. Although the
contest was an earnest one, there was
very little disorder, and the few ar
rests made were for minor offenses.
