The Days Transactions the Board OF
Trade
CHICAGO, March 14.-Yesterday de-
spondent feeling in the wheat pit abated
over night and May opened at from 4 to u
cent above the previous days close. The
shorts, however. were not inclined to cover
on the first advance, and upon the exhaus-
ton of early buying orders the market
weakened. On the reaction May declined
to 629s. The Liverpool market showed
only II very moderate amount of sympathy
with the bears here, inasmuch as yester-
days break of x cents a bushel at Chicago
brought quotation of only I'D per GENITAL
decline at Liverpool. The Argentine ship
ments for the week exhibited slight pre-
monitory symptoms of an impending col
lapse: the quantity exported was 100000
bushels for the week and according to recent
advices from there each succeeding week
for some time to come showed gradual
decrease in exports. The Minneapolis and
Duluth receipts were 541 cars, against 4O4
week ago and 327 carloads on the cor
responding day of the year before. The
general expectation regarding Mondays
visible supply statement is that it will
show only 100000 bushels or 100000
bushels decrease. The market became
firm again the last hour of the session on
the cessation OF selling. Corn gave no

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct 2O.-Wheat closed today
at the highest point thus far for the year.
ever of the boom which was seen in the clos
ing half hour Some Indifference abroad was
from Liverpool. America looks to Europe
for direction in the present instance and
when a decline at the place mentioned was
reported the enthusiasm here underwent
modification. Bradstreet's was expected to
announce a big increase in the worlds
stock and on the prospect thereof few OF
those people who have not yet been con-
WINGED of the legitimacy of the advance
We're tempted, to sell a little wheat short:
not be made public today there was a
change of front, no one caring to remain
short over night. Then, when sales of 9Oo.-
600 bushels at New York for export to Lis
bon were reported, together with heavy gold
importation, the sentiment rapidly assumed
a bullsh appearance and from that time UNI
til the close 1t was only question of how
high prices would go. December wheat
opened at T3s to 7719c, sold between 7SA@
755sc, closing at 7S3sc, 1c higher than yester-
day. Cash wheat was irregular, closing firm
at lie advance.
Corn-That the sentiment which obtained
in wheat during the last week or ten days
had no permanent influence on corn was
evidenced by the direction taken by the lat
ter from the start today. Prices in this
readiness to participate in the weakness of
the leading market A slight rally took

29Ac &c under yesterday. Cash corn was
weak and 1ac lower closing little steader.
Oats-The action of oats was not mat
ter of individual merit or inclination, but
rather depended whether the other
grains were weak or strong. AS the former
tone predominated elsewhere, so did 1t also
in oats. A fair recovery was noted near
the close. May oats closed unchanged from
yesterday. Cash oats were easy and Nc
lower.
Provisions were quiet, and in response to
a lower hog market, exhibited a tendency
to sag. Late in the session the bulge in
wheat helped prices of provisions trifie.
January pork closed TIC lower, January
lard and ribs each 219c lower.

The receipts keeps up in provokingly large

In Wall Street.

New York Oct 2O.--The stock market to-
day was strong almost from the opening TO
shares, were we'll distributed and with a
very few exceptions higher prices were re-
corded all along the line. The main causes
for the improvement were the engagements
of over 5000. 600 gold in London today for
shipment to this side, and the fact that ex-
change ruled barely steady, thus indicating
renewed imports of the yellow metal in the
near future. quite as important as the
foregoing in its bearing upon stock values
was the continued foreign demand for our
breadstuffs and cotton and the news from
the railroads out west are taxed to the ut
most to carry the grain now offering. In
fact, advices were to the effect that a car
famine is in prospect On all this the bulls
lifted prices With good deal OF sbad ice
Although Chicago Gas came second in
vance namely AZ points to 63as. The rise
was due to purchases by those who claim
to have political news from Illinois In us more
pany In the remainder of the list the ad-
vance was equal to 1aQ2ss per cent, the gram
gers and some of the low priced shares
leading. Sugar was traded in to the extent
of 81, 100 shares and was most conspicuous
so far as volume Of business is concerned.

Does Not IndOrse 1t.

In a card to the Progress this
week A. P. Naples will state that he
did not write the article appear
ing over his signature in that paper
last week, that be never saw it
before it appeared in
print, and that had he seen it
he would not have given it as it
appeared.
The facts in the case are that
Prot. Burney of this place was, for
some cause, given authority by Mr..
Naples to write an article in be-
half of his candidacy for Sheriff,
and in his anxiety to help his man,
the Professor very much over.done
the thing,
The Burney letter, among other
things alleges that J. W. Freeman
has for years illegltimately
ha"dled the tax revenues of this
county, which Mr.. Naples very
becomingly corrects in his card
this week.
The whole thing seems to have
been very unfortunate affair,
since it does both Freeman and
Naples an injustice, and reflects no
credit upon the writer.
