L MARKETS LOWER
PROSPECT FOR Liberal RAINS
GAVE BEARS MUCH CONFIDENCE.
Declines in Cereals. However, Were
Limited to 1-sc n B~ushel-Pro-
visions Also Decline.

CHICAGO, April 6.-Infuenced by the
prospect of liberal rains, wheat, corn and
oats all averaged a shade lower to-day and
closed at a slight loss. as compared with
Fridays final prices The decline in each
was limited in the end to &c per bushel.
Provisions also closed lower.
The wheat market lost some of the
animation which had worked into IL during
the two preceding days. The start was
rather tame and the feeling appeared to
favor some slight decline from yesterdays
closing values. There were sales at from
$3.50 to 55Ac for May at the start; not
much of it at the higher figure, however.
1t kept within range of 55AQ55%c during
the greater portion of the session with
an occasional bull put. The rain actual and
expected was the ruling bear factor, the
rapidly diminishing stocks of the world and
the decreasing movement from first hands
in this country were the sustaining infiu-
ences. The clearances of wheat and flour
from the four principal Atlantic ports and
New Orleans in the last twenty-four hours
amounted to 279,000 bushels. Foreign cables
were not much changed. but somewhat
irregular. English markets firm and con-
tinenta1 rather weak. The market closed
at 55Ac for May.
Corn was easy, in sympathy with wheat.
Today recelptS were Only w Lis anu III
Monday only 70 are looked for. The total
receipts at all the markets for the week
were only 7O5, 900 bushels. Receivers were
the sellers in the market. The range for
May was from 46a4c to 46Ac with 465sc the
closing price.
The market for oats was fairly active.
The principal features were the compare
tive strength of July. influenced by, free
buying. Trading consisted principally of
disposing of May and buying of June. June
at one time during the session brougnt a
remium over May. Noble Jones and n. b..
Ream were selling quite freely. The buy
ing was general and mostly scattered. May
sold from 29c to 29&c, down to Use, clos
ing at the high price.
but the prices quoted from the yards were
at a decline of from 5 to 1oc. The esti-
mated receipts of hogs for next week are
$4,000. Notwithstanding the seeming grow
ing scarcity of the raw material, the price
of provisions declined on rather liberal pro-
feSSional selling. Compared with closing
rates of the day before pork is. 121ac lower,
ribs unchanged and lard TIC lower.

BAD WEATHER FOR JOKES
Two Men Sent to Jail for Their
PIayfuluess
Tom Long Took Whisky for Fun-He Got
Ninety Days--Wm. Grant Took Keys
and Got Fifty Days

Tom Long is an awfully jolly fellow
and if there is anything that he relishes
it is practical joke. He has played
many joke in his time, but for the next
ninety days lie will oe doing time as the
direct result OF his last attempt at play
fulness,
One day last week Tom thought that
he would vary his usual method of hav-
ing fun, so he determined to make a
liquor dealer on Also street the sub
ject of his brand new joke. Accordingly
bs took-the complaint SAYS stole-three
gallons of fine whisky and walked down
the street with it. He did not intend to
60 far, nor is it likely that the liquor
would have gons much farther than he
did, but at all events after walking about
a block or three ON thought he had
enough of this new kind of joke, SO 10
started back to the store to return the
whisky, but unfortunately the owner had
IN Used the demijOhn and had started in
pursuit, and the two met.
The liquor dealer failed to see the point
of the joke and caused the arrest of Tom.
and yesterday he was tried before Justice
Owens and given 80 days in the city jail.
Another joker is William Grant, ana
like Long, is ve"y original in his meth
obs. Last Saturday night Grant went In
to the cribs of a number of women on
Alan eda street, and under preten.e OF
talking of the weather. stood with ais
back to the door and slipped the keys
from the locks. He robbed about dozen
places and in some took punches contain
ing police whistles and keys to 9th er
doors. He said no bad been only in fun,
but Justice Owens failed to appre cha tie
the point and gave him fifty days on the
two charges.
An unfortunate part of the affair was
the publication of the wrong name at tn g
time OF Grants arrest 1t was stated that
R. X. McCreery was the man who had
stolen the keys. This was incorrect, as
the latter is a milk dealer and bears an
excellent reputation. The mistake &C.
CURED from the police taking his name
from a letter they found in the pocket OF
Grant which belonged to McCreery.

HE PASSED A BOGUS CHECK
J. Gray Gives Bad Paper to His Land
Iadv


lady
A woman who refused to give her name
called at the police station last Saturday
afternoon and reported that man had
given her bogus check. She conducts
a lodging house On Broadway, aud says
that one day last week a man came aud
rented q room from her for the night,
paying in advance. He went away the
following morning, but returned several
days later and engaged to occupy room,
paying $1.25 week. When asked for the
money he said he had no change, but
the woman would cash a check he would
pay. She agreed to this and he wrote
check for S.. % on this Farmers aud Mer
chants bank, signing the name of j.
Gray. The landlady was not satisfied
with this and requested that he endorse
it, which he did. Gray then said that he
felt sick and asked if the woman would
not give him some money to procure
medicine. She did not have tie extra
amount over thu rent for the room. but
gave him all she had, 81.
Later in the day she gave the check to
her husband to have cashed, but it was
dishonored at the bank ana now all that
remains to her are the bad check and
dim recollection of the pleasant manners
of the young man who wanted medicine.
The reason she reported the matter to
the authorities was, she asserted, not on
account of the money but desire to see
the fellow punished.
