WHEAT, CORN AND OATS CLOSED
AT AN ADVANCE IN CHI
CAGO.
FAVORABLE EARLY CABLES.
THEY GAVE TO THE OPENING
MARKET ITS TONE OF
STRENGTH.
PROVISIONS STARTED IN WEAK.
Before the End of the Day Pork Had
Recovered What Had Been
Lost.

CHICAGO, April 4.-Rumors of crop dam
ages caused wheat to close strong with an
advance for the day of 14sc in the May future
and 1AQ1as for July. Corn and oats advanced
1sQ1ac respectively. Provisions closed at
about the same price as on Thursday. After
the grst hour the wheat market did a good
business. May opened unchanged at 635sc. The
market advanced to 649sQ64$4c, changed
some and closed as stated, at top figures.
The firm tone to start was due in the meas
ure to the steady tone Of private cables from
Liverpool, and the more moderate weekly
Argentine shipments. The report of the In
diana bureau of statistics, making the area
in that state 90.4 per cent, and the condition
7O.9 per cent was also a Strengthening in
fuence On the other hand the exports did
not prove bullish. The weather, too, was
clear and mild in most sections, and the
weather bureau predicted fair and warmer
conditions with variable winds. Northwest
ern receipts were larger than the same day
last week. There were reports at hand re-
garding the area sown in Kansas, making
the same the smallest since 1890. No new
features were discernable in corn and the
advance of S-16c in the price, was in conse-
quence of the advance in wheat. May opened
unchanged at 299sc, and closed with sellers
at 29a4c The days range was from 291b0
29sac. The market for oats was fairly active
and firmer feeling prevailed. May opened
unchanged at 1915c sold at 1890, and closed
with 1890 bid. Provisions started weak and
so continued for over an hour Later, pork
recovered all it lost earlier in the day, and
lard and ribs in the end were only 25A65c low
er than they closed on Thursday. Estimates:
Wheat, 10 cars; corn, IT'S cars; oats, 155 cars;
hogs, 25, 900 head.

Col. Donan on American scenerv

Col P. Donan, the celebrated newsnaner
correspondent, in a recent letter had the fol-
lowing to say about the scenery on the Balti-
more C Ohio. Railroad: .s-1
More glorious panoramas Of sublinnity and
beauty cannot be found this side OF the Rocky
Mountains than those that unrolI themselves
to the enchanted tourist at Harper's Ferry,
all along the crag-walled windings of Cheat
River, on the Potomac and Monongahela, and
In the romantic valley Of the Shenandoah. It
is all historic ground. In the old engine house
at Harper's Ferry John Brown began the
mighty four years war-the last, it is to be
hoped, this generation Of Americans will ever
see. All along the majestic Potomac the hos
tile camp fires blazed. Washington, the ma
tion's capital, was the prize for which a mill
lon embattled men strove through four years
of fire and blood. The whole line through
Maryland and Virginia is dotted with places
whose names have rung throughout the world.
Nearly every station was a battlefield or the
scene Of skirmish or raid, or some exploit
of herosm' or hardihood that has gone into the
history or the songs Of nation.
cts Royal Blue trains between Washington
and New York are the fastest regular flyers
in America, and are unsurpassed in elegance
in all terrestrial creation. They combine every
extravaganza of luXuriousness that can be put
on wheels, with the speed of the wind and the
safety of standing still. Though the average
running rate is about fifty miles an hour, so
perfect are all the appointments of tracks,
engines and cars, and so ceaseless the care
and vigilance, that there has never been an
accident in all the years since these paragons
of palatial wheeling began to flash between
the metropolis and the capital. They are
Royal trains, indeed with this exception
that the old world royalty never Travelled in
anything compared with them"
