The General Assembly finished up the
business OF the special session this after
noon and adjourned until the last Tues
day in January, 1897.
The financial situation has been some
what relieved by the adoption of tn Q
special commissions suggestion that the
General Treasurer be suthorizd to bor-
row s250 000 to meet the present emer-
gtncy, and that will besufficient legisla-
tion on the subject until January.
wnen the commisson proposes to present
plans for very material development OF
the entire financial 81 stem.
Perhaps the most important piece OF
egislation which gees on the records Of
the special session will be that by which
the municipal election laws OF the state
are made uniform for all cities. And in
cidentally several extra appropriations
have been made TO carry along the de-
partments for the three remaining
months of the year.

Stabbed in the Abdomen at East

A stabbing ARRAY occurred on the
piazza OF Joseph Burns house at Esst

lahore were both cut by Frank Pinto,
who was employed by John Linburg of

get revenge Pinto pounced upon Olson,
stabbing him in the stomach in a shock

The Stock Market Opened
Higher This Morning.
A Lapse of Business Is Re-
ported in Sugar Trade.
Grain and Cotton Markets Likely to
Reach a Higher Level.

The.receipts of high London quotations
for American securities contributed
toward a strong and advancing opening
market this morning, with the most
noteworthy gains in the industrials.
Chicago Gas and General Electric rose 81
per cent and smart fractions were gained
by the international shares.
The Sugar trade Is getting dull. The
,losiDg of Spreckles' refinery at Philadel-
phia will te followed by temporary
shutting down of the Brooklyn refinsries,
but this is an annual occurrence and
should not be too bearishly construed.
The bears continue aggressive on Sugar
and the effort will be- made to put 1t to
108 or so. 1t is not unlikely that brisk,
concerted action in this direction will
have temporary depressing effect upon
the general market. From now on hold
ers will make no mistake IL they take
advantage of ell rallies to unload.
The annual report of the New YORK
Central shows the net earnings for the
year to have increased s1,010, 303 Surplus
increases s., 261, $50.
1t will be surprising II the grain and
cotton markets do not reach o higher
Level. Large capitalists who have been
buying wheat say December wheat will
cross rs in Chicago.
The prospects are that Erie will enjoy
q burst of activity that will carry II
higher. There is good buying In Read
ing.
special from Chicago says: "All
lines have cut beer rates from Chicago to
Omaha from % to 20 cents. Coffee and
fish rates have also been cpt and further
reductions will be made in coel rates.
Reductions ere expected to be general in
the next few days."
The demand for anthracite coal Is not
good. The companies are not obtaining
circular prices for stove and small sizes.

market for today is as follows:

CHICAGO MARKET.

CHICAGO. April list. Louis strength
and the death Of ED. Partridge, the noted
scalper. were the factors in wheat to-
dav. For an hour after the opening there
was very little life to the trade; then ST.

10 this market. A moderate recession oc-
CURED before the close. May wheat
opened from 6GQ65Hc., sold between G5l4g
G5ssc and &C. closing at 6Gas0661sc., sc.
higher than yesterday. Cash wheat was
firm and 1c. higher.
Corn-rhe same story, so often repeated
Of dullness in corn, was repeated without
variation Of any sort to-day. No news
of interest was received. The improve
ment was moderate. as was natural, con-
sidering the inactive condition OF trade
MAY corn opened at 30A@3o5sc., advanced
10 3O4sc, closing 3ol9c., 1sdiAc. higher
than yesterday. Cash corn was steady TO
nc per bushel higher.
The surroundings were responsible FOR
an advance IN oats. Traders imbibed
courage from the strength OF wheat and
corn, and were disposed TO buy on that
consideration. Nothing notable In the
way OF Influential trading was noted.
