CHICAGO MARKET.

CHICAGO. ILL, Feb. When trad rs
reached their offices this morning they
found themselves unexpected gamers or
losers. according TO the standing on the
market The opening minutes of the
session were marked by much excitement
shorts exhibiting nervousness and cover
ing tneir wheat as best they might. The
bulge was entirely unlocked for after
yesterdays comparatively easy market
but IL came through the action OF the
Liverpool market, whore a gain Of Id.
was made on "a decrease of ,1N. $50 BUSH
els in stocks during January. Prices
ruled firm during the half session, and
just before the close made another squirt
final quotations being the best OF the
day. May wheat opened from 6GMI
6Oiac., advanced to and closed at Oi4c,
2Q2isc. higher than yesterday. Cash
wheat was strong and &c. per bushel
Corn showed a fair improvement by
reason of the boom IN wheat. but II was
evident that the trade was not eXuber-
antly bulish on this grain. Business
presented nothing out OF the ordinary
and the session was not unusually ac-
tive. May corn opened al Hlsc adj
vanced 10 SIC, closing al 307kc, &c. high
or than yesterday Cash corn was firm
and ieC. per bushel higher.
oats moved higher on tho merits of
wheat. but the advance did not seem
10 enlarge the business 10 an appreciable
extent May oats closed sc higher
than yesterday. Cash oats were firm
and lsc. higher
Provisions-But a moderate business
was transacted In products. AS would
naturally be presumed, prices advanced
IA sympathy with the extraordinary
strength OF wheat and on a gain in the
value of hogs at the yards At the close
Nav pork was 11c. higher than yester-
day. May lard 2i505c higher. and May
ribs 7lsHl0c. higher. Domestic markets
were firm.

II has been the custom among certain
of the New York bankers when they buy

them as lOans-that is. loans TO the
Government and there Is no reason 10
believe that this custom VIII DE departed
from after the allotment OF the pending
bond loan. An increase in the loan
column is "a feature that might we'll be
made az tho present rme. sin,e the

much the smallest that has been since

ample preparation 90 meet the new loan.
They held AZ the close OF the week an

Oldest linemen in the employ of tbe

from q pols at the corner of North
Main and North Court streets, at 11:36
this forenoon, and died from his injur-
les IL minutes later.
Judge had been sent out to straighten
out a private wire that had become
crossed, but whether with an electric
light or trolley wiro Is not known. Nor
is 1t yet definitely known whether he
grasped live wire or lost his balanoo
and fell.

tunate man lay. They carried Judge to
the carriage house of the station. Every
effort was made TO procure a physicians
but none responded until the ambulanoo
from Rhode Island Hospital arrived. DR..
Palmer, the attending physicisn
found that the man was in u
dying condition, but did what he could
for him. The doctor was of the opinion
that an electric shock was the cause Of
his death, for under the left ear was =
bruise some five inches in length, and
in some parts nearly one inch in DEPTH
The index finger of the rig hit hand was
nearly severed by having come in con-
tact with live wire. Miss Walker said
that the man fell on his face, aIl az his
nose was badly bruised, this is supposed
to be correct. DR.. Palmer said that the
man might have received internal inju-
ries that caused his death. but this could
only be learned by an autopsy. When
Judge fell a number OF perso M stood b.
