SENT PRICES UP AT CHI
CAGO
NOT MUCH WAS DOING EARLY.
WE'RE ON A LARGE
SCALE. "a
Free Covering by Shorts and Buying
at St. Louis Were the Impor-
tant Factors.

CHICAGO, April 17.-Reports of killing
frosts and chinch bug damage to winter
wheat made strong market today. 1t closed
firm at 66a4c for May, an advance of 1c over
yesterdays close Corn and oats and pro-
visions all shared in the strength of wheat
and closed firm and steady. There was not a
great deal doing early in wheat but as the
session advanced the market liyened and ope-
rations were on large scale, the range for
the day being 11kc. The feeling developed
was stronger and higher prices ruled, May
selling at &c, and July to 6S1sc, part of the
advance being maintained. The early strength
was attributable to unreasonable weather
conditions in the spring wheat ter
ritory, the map showing cool weather
in the Northwest, with snow fur
ries in the Dakotas and Minnesota. Advices
from the Red river valley reported seeding
delayed. There was a good deal of July on
the market, early elevator interests selling
quite freely, the premium being 1@1hc.
Northwestern receipts were liberal The sec
ond bulge was started by st. Louis buying.
Many of the early sellers. turned buyers and
the market became very strong top prices
being made on this rise. The business in
corn was more active than for some time.
The close showed a gain for the day of
1sQAc. The chief buyer was by st. Louis,
there being considerable July covered. Free
covering by shorts created an active demand
for oats. May opened at 1870, weakened to
1870, advanced to 20Ac, dropped to 20c and
closed with buyers at the latter price. Of
ferings of provisions were not very Free while
a good general demand prevailed. May pork
closed at $S.72h. compared with $3.50 at the
end Of yesterdays session. Lard is without
change for May, and only 21&c higher for
July, and ribs for May show an improvement
for the day of sc in May and 71zc In July.

that no cover was left to the bulls. Pardridge
made more money thereby than any man had
ever before taken out Of the market under
similar circumstances in Chicago The plum

conservative operators to- have reached the
total Of $1,500,000. Almost equally large were
his losses, approaching the $500 900 or $500, 900

DUN & CO.'S VIEW.
More Retail Buying and an In

4 NEW YORK, April 17.-R. G. Dun G. Co. s
review will say: The sudden change from
sleighing to midsummer heat has tested the
prevalent idea that good weather only was
needed to bring a general improvement of
business. Everywhere there has been more
retail buying, and in some branches better
demand in both wholesale and retail buv-
ing mas resulted, but not as yet in most lines.
fIhe comparative infrequency of serious fail
ures helps to give encouragement, but does
not klndle speculative fires. To many in

the forming of combinations and fixing OF
prices nave not started again the rush TO

FINANCIAL OUTLOOK.
The Present Sentiment Is Decidedly
More Favorable.

NEW YORK, April T7.-Bradstreet's FL
nancial Review will sayi Increased activity
and advancing quotations have given a much
healthier tone to speculation. The bullish
demonstration is, to a certain extent, based
upon the expectation of greater business ac-
tivity with the progress of spring. Above all,
however, the change in London's attitude
toward American bonds and stocks is calcu-
lated to produce decided impression here.
In fact, the weeks bullish movement in our
market is, in measure, a reflection of what
is going on in London, where more or less Of
speculative revival is in progress, the
enormous and long pent up investment de-
mand there having demonstrated its power by
marked rise in consols and home Sc
curities. Wall street lays much stress upon
the presence Of j. P. Morgan in Europe, and
whether correctly or otherwise, credits that
gentleman with having used his influence to
assist the movement in question. revived
interest in our market has been shown by
foreign investors and spectators, and orders
for bonds Of the better classes come from
London in sufficient volume to affect that de-
partment very favorably. 1t should also bd
noticed that the local investment demand for
the new government fours has been a feature

FITZ SHOCKED,
The Pugilist Had Narrow Escape
From EIectrocutfon

CLEVELAND, O., April 17.-Robert Fitz-
simmons, the prize fighter, came within an
inch of being electrocuted last night AS it
was, his pet lion, Nero, was killed, and Fitz
was severely shocked and quite seriously
burned. On account of the extremely warm
weather the lion was yesterday taken to the
roof of Rumseys gymnasium. Shortly after
midnight Fitz went up on the roof to sea
the animal. The lion sprang forward to the
length of his chain, and over some electric
light wires. shower Of sparks quickly fol-
lowed at the contact of the chain with the
wires. The lion received a shock and again
jumped toward Fitz who sprang back against
the wall of an adjoining building. The lion
sprang past him, drawing the chain tight
around the pugilist's thigh, who cringed un-
der the severe shock. In his agony the lion
leaped over the edge Of the roof and hung by
the neck. F'itz was pulled from under the
chain and removed to the hotel. There is a
burn across his thigh, and a small burn on
the knuckle Of the index finger of the right
hand. This is all the visible evidence of the
terrible ordeal, although Fitz was in a dazed
condition for over an hour. When the lion
was pulled up from the side of the building
where he had been suspended he was dead
