BETTER DAY TN WHEAT
BULL NEWS FROM RED RIVER VAL
LEY BOOSTS THE PRICE 1-2C.
Corn and Oats Comparatively Quiet,
While Provisions Overcame Early
Weakness and Advanced.

CHICAGO, April 3.-Alarm over the de-
lay in getting the spring whea; seed into
the ground in the Red river ~valley-the
great spring wheat region of the North
west-was the governing factor to-day in a
rise Of &c per bushel in the price. Corn
and oats were quiet and had very slight
changes in their va.ue; hog products adj
vanced a little. There was a fair speculative
trade in wheat, the marke; ruling moderate
ly active and a good deal on the choppy,
unsettled order. prices turning about on very
slight influences. The sentiment at the start
was steady, after which a weak spell set
in, to be followed by a stronger tone, the
close being steady at hdssc advance.
Fluctuations covered 3sQ1c range. The
steadiness at the start was attributable
Largely to the rather bullish remarks in this
weeks summary of the Price Current and
then the weather map showed too much
moisture in the Northwest, heavy rains be-
ing reported in South Dakota and Minnesota
and some in North Dakota. which will fur
Their delay seeding in thai section. There
was also a semi-oficial report OF 20 per cent.
on the condition OF the Plant in Kentucky.
Gables, too, came no weaker than the de-
cline on this side yesterday and this was
rather encouraging. There was, however.
heavy selling OF July for st. Louis account
and a good deal Of May on sale, which
caused prices to react. The close. however.
was within Ac of top figures for the day,
the causes being further news Of reduced
and delayed seeding in the Northwest and
less May liquidation.
Business in the corn pit was largely in
the way Of changing May deals over to
July. Fluctuations were within AG3sc range
and in the end prices We're unchanged from
yesterday or &c lower.
Business in oats was fairly active. The
principal trading was in the way of ex-
changes. Plenty Of May was offered and
July was wanted. Price changes were mar
row, winding up with July unchanged from
| yesterday and May showing Ac loss.
Provisions opened weaker because OF the
| run of hogs being a little heavier than yes
terday's estimate. but the strength of wheat
helped to revive them. Pork for July de-
clined sc. and then improved 121zc with SC
gain as the net result at the close. Ribs
are csc higher, but no change is noticeable
in lard compared with closing prices Of yes
terday.
Estimated receipts for to-morrow-Wheat,
II cars; corn, 26 cars; oats, go cars, and
hogs, ZOO head.

FIGHT IN A CHURCH.
Women Handled Roughly by Police
men-A Divided Congregation.

DETROIT. Mich, April 23.-The Eight
eenth-street Baptist Church was the scene of
a fight last night. One woman was seized
by a police officer and showed out OF the
church doors. One man was struck across
the face by a woman. and raised his fist to
knock her down, but was pulled away. An
other young man, when urged to leave the
scene, even pushed his own mother down
the steps. Women screamed, men shouted and
recriminations flew thick and fast. Two OF
the church trustees resigned and six were
expelled from the church for open and willfu;
rebellion. The church is now divided into
two factions, one of two-thirds and another
OF one-thlrd. The board of trustees had for
hidden the pastor taking up a collection at
the door. The pastor did it. The board CEN
sured him. The pastor referred the matter
to the church congregation. The congrega-
ton upheld the pastor. The Baptist Council
took hold OF the matter, and last Wednesday
asked the board to resign. and the congreg:-
ton last night affirmed this action by a two
thirds majority vote. The deposed trustees
say they will carry the matter INTO the
courts.
