Kansas City-The Result
Elsewhere.

CHICAGO, April 9.-Out Of 50 alder
men the Republicans have elected 20,
the Democrats ID, and two Indepen-
dents were chosen. The prin cipal fea-
ture of the election was the effort OF
the reform element to down number
of the gang aldermen. The reformers
were successful with a majority OF the
men they were after, but they failed to
secure the three or four bright particu-
lar stars they desired. Party lines
were not drawn in a number OF the
wards and the reform movement had
much weight.
The fight on the town officers was in
all of the towns a straight party issue,
and the Republicans were uniformly
successful, carrying all the town offices
by majorities ranging from 1900 to
1000.
Lively in Two Wards.
Full returns from the First and
Nineteenth wards, in which most OF
the fighting occurred, show that 26

John Wilson's ear was torn off by an
other missile of the same kind. There
was no fighting outside these two
wards.

the state show Republican victories in
about four-fifths OF them. In none of

Activity centered in the industrial group,

able interest was attached to a display of
strength in the so-called Vanderbilt shares,
as indicating revival of investment de-
mand for securities. The market at the out
set was active, but the movement decreased
later, and the afternoon operations were only
moderate in extent. Tobacco early lost a
sharp fraction, but at the extreme low point
purchasing orders came in and the shorts
rushed to cover and caused a rally. In the
late dealings the stock was hammered freely,
and yielded to 81 on rumors that an appli-
cation had been made for an injunction to
| restrain the payment of the scrip dividend.
Up to late hour, however, no papers had
been served. The advancing tendency in the
general market was checked at times by
profit taking, but the depression was only
momentary. In the final dealings general
| realizations caused fractional recessions and
imIarted an easier tone to the closing. The
net changes record slight gains as rule.

some strength to the situation. At the ad-

being conspicuous selling by the elevator in
terests and exports making a disappointing
showing, early buyers began to sell and prices
receded. Northwestern receipts were much
larger than year ago, and there were selling
orders from that section. The market rallied
on good buying by room traders on the theory
that there would be liberal decrease in the
worlds available supply. Free selling at the
advance caused a sharp reaction to inside
prices. There was little doing in corn. Prices
kept within 14c range. The close was steady
at yesterdays price. Oats were active. Fluc-
tuations were within 14@2sc range. Provisions
were upheld for time by the demand for
