THAT BANKRUPTCY BILL.

WASHINGTON, April 13.-The house
committee on Judiciary today finished its
work on the bankruptcy bill and Chair
man Henderson will report the bill to
the house this week, where it is expected
that it will be called up in few days.
This is one of the bills which the COM
mittee on rules is disposed to give an
early opportunity for consideration. Rep
resentative Bailey, of Texas, will make
a minority report for the substitute bill
This bill is the result of the labors of
the committee on judiciary for three
congresses. This committee took the bill
introduced by Mr.. Powers, Vermont, for
the basis of it's work, his bill being based
upon the Oates bill of last congress, which
was a modification of the Torrey bill
Both voluntary and involuntary bank
ruptcy are provided for in the bill, the
involuntary features being carefully
limited. All persons who owe debts are
entitled to the benefits of the act as vol
untary bankrupts but corporations are
excepted because the laws of the states
creating them provide for winding up
their affairs.
Any person owing debts to the amount
of $1,000 or over, if guilty of an act OF
bankruptcy, may be adjudged an invol-
untary bankrupt, except a national bank,
a person engaged chiefly in farming or the
tillage of the soil, and a wage Garner. A
wage Garner is IAN individual who works
for salary, wages or hire at rate of
compensation not exceeding $1,500 per
wear"

ment's estimate of the poor condition of
the crop by Enthusiastically revealing its
deficiencies. That and other bullish items
of news detailed in the remarks that fol-
low, caused May wheat after declining
to 81 to rise to 651a at which later price
it closed. Trading in May commenced at
about the same price it left off on Sat
urday, 645s and 641a being simultaneously
in different parts of the pit at the open
ing. It quickly recovered to 647s and then
began decline which in about an hours
time had reduced it to 64c. July was
traded into almost as heavy an extent
as May. While the May fluctuations re-
corded were taking place, July was tumb-
ling from 651z to 64ss0647s
Corn was very firm, inasmuch as it took
no note of the early decline in wheat.
In oats, business was of moderate vol
ume and the market was active and firm
from start to finish.
Provisions were fairly active, but prin-
cipally in the way of getting open trad
ing of May over into July. In the end not
much change in prices had to be noted,
although the buying in of short pork
promised al one time an advance for the
day in that article at least.
Tho leading futures ranged as follows:

We're Generous.

CHICAGO, April 13.-The western
baseball towns prove to have been gen
erous contributors to the Harry
Wright memorial fund. At Detroit
600 people witnessed a game between
the Detroit club of the Western league
and local amateurs.

composed of veterans who were with
the Reds in 1886, 1900 spectators con-
tributed over $780, The score was Z
to 8 in favor of the youngsters. AT
Louisville the league team played
pie. The Chicago league team played
at Kansas city with the Western
league team, the game netting S100.
One of the most interesting gather
ings was at Rockford, ILL.,, where over
1000 people witnessed a game between
a team of the old players. A special
train from Chicago took a big delega-
ton, headed by Samuel Spaulding,
with many of the old Forest City club
in the party. A parade over a mile
long preceded the contest and was
participated in by bands, militia, cy-
clists equestrians, old players. civic
societies and citizens. The two teams
were made up from the veterans,
Spaulding and King being the battery
on one side and Fisher and Larue on
the other. Only one inning was
played, in which the score was to 0
in favor of Spaulding's team, runs
being made by Spaulding, King, Bar
ker and Buckman. A terrific rain
storm then came up and stopped the
game. The receipts were in the neigh
borhood of $500. An elaborate banquet
was rendered the visitors at night.

but there was no business. The new

Thursday. Gillian bonds were fiat on
rumors of the unsatisfactory condition
of the country's finances, but the re-
ports are disregarded in good quarters
The Paris and Berlin markets were

encouraging development was further
made in the sterling exchange market,
