TT HELPED TO MAKE A WEAK
WHEAT MARKET TURN OFF
sTRONG. "
GENERAL ADVANCES SCORED.
WHEAT, CORN, OATsd AND PORK
ALL CLOSED HIGHER AT
CHICAGO.
MARKET WAS ovEhspLD EARLY
When the OperatorsC6m to Cover
They Did Not Find Much
Wheat for Sale.

CHICAGO, April 24.-The delayed seeding
of spring wheat in the Northwest and re-
ports of chinch bugs having made their ap-
pearance in the Kansas fields, made a weak
wheat market strong today. Corn and oats
slight advance. Fluctuations were compara-
lively wide at 11Ac. The wheat opening
showed a trile loss and prices gradually
sagged back Nc, but advanced 1850 toward
the close. The report of the Prairie Farmer
was construed as bearish and had tendency
to increase speculative offerings. The sharp
rally late in the session was due largely
to good buying, Influenced by the reports of
chinch bugs doing damage to wheat in West
ern Kansas. Evidently operators had rather
oversold the market early, and when they
wanted to cover they did not find much
wheat on sale. Strong closing cables added
to the strength here. The corn market was
firm. In the last hour there was some heavy
buying, said to be covering a line of shorts
for Patten. July corn opened unchanged at
3G5sc, sold as high as 31c, and closed at 30A %
3eBc, May opened unchanged at 295sc sold
to 29Ac, reacted to 29Bc, and closed at 29s4c
The feature in oats was the liberal covering
els being bought. The close was steady at
about the top, with a gain of Ac Provisions
were steady. May pork closed at $S.771h
after dip it took early in the day to SS.671h.
July lard closed at $5.021a. The improvement
for the day in July ribs was PFC. Estimates: {:
Wheat, II cars; corn, 80 cars: oats, 2O5 cars /;

ALL AROUND SCROUNDEL.
AIsop, of Lena Olson Fame, Has @
Very Bad Record.

SEATTLE, Wash, April A.-James E. Alsop
who was arrested in this city for the murder
Of Lena Olson at Duluth, Minn., and who
committed suicide by hanging, while in the
city jail was not only murderer, and possibly
a multi-murderer, as now seems certain, but
was bigamist as well. Emma Alsop, of Salt
Lake City, claims to have been the criminals
wife. Unlike the Tacoma widow, she was not
disposed to desert her erring HUSBAND when in
trouble, for she sent him money and messages
of love while in Jail in this city. They were
not, however, delivered, for the Salt Lake
Mrs. Alsop, upon learning from newspaper
dispatches of her husbands suicide wired the
postoffce authorities to return her letters, and
her request was complied with. The police
believe Alsop also had something to do with
the murder of Mrs. Fetting, on the night of
Sept IA, 1898, and also with the murder in
Tacoma of her son-in-law, James King who
was shot and his body thrown into the bay on
the evning Of Nov. II, 1893 Afr gagging her,
the murderer crushed Mrs. lettings skull in
with stove cover, her life having been taken
in much the same manner as as that of Miss
Olson at Duluth. She was a woman eighty
years of age, and the crime. was committed
for $500, that amount of money having been
taken from her trunk.

COMMODITIES CHEAP.
Prices in All Lines Are at Rock
Bottom.

NEW YORK, April PAR. G. Dun G Co.'s
review of trade will say: Business has been
favored by seasonable weather. Prices of
commodities are, on the whole, lower than
ever before, having declined about per
cent since April 1, and II per cent since
July, 1890, or October, 1892. The fall in man
ufactured products is little less than it was
April l, but in farm products greater The
recent advance checked buying of wheat for
export, and Atlantic exports for the week
were only 1,OS1,2 ,264 bu, flour included, against
1,76S,S73 last year. Western receipts have
been about 177,00O,OOO bu, against 139, 900, 600
! bu to date last year. With generally fair
prospects as to winter wheat, the price has
dropped about &c, nearly half the rise based
on gloomy reports early this month Neither
pig iron nor manufactured products have i'm
proved in demand, as yet, though further
combinations have raised prices of rods of
bar iron to S1.20, while steel bars sell at
$15, and nails are to be 15c higher after
May l.. Brokers at Pittsburg are still selling
steel billets 60c below the pool price, though
1t was formed more than three weeks ago.
Structural angles a shade lower, though
some good contracts are expected. Many con-
sumers of copper working part time, and
lake is offered at 1860.
Failures for the week have been 23S in the
United States, against 23O last year, and A
in Canada, against 81 last year.

BULLIsH SENTIMENT.
1t Is the Prevailing Factor in the
SnecuIntiYe World

NEW YORK, April 24.-Bradstreet's fnan-
cial review will say: Bullish sentiments con-
tinue to animate current speculation, the pres
ent week having witnessed increased activity
and broader conditions, as we'll as a further
Improvement in price, though at the close of
the week there were signs of weakness. The
movement seems to be based upon a desire to
discount the anticipated revival of trade, but
Its character is also due in a large degree to
the example afforded by the recent speculative
revival in London and the better standing
which American securities are gaining there
One of the features of the week has been the
more or less open assistance given to the bull
campaign by the larger financial and specu-
.latiye interests: The disposition of the pro-
fessional element to realize profits naturally
caused recession from time to time, but not
only was support extended from the sources
IN question, but the tangible increase Of public
interest and purchasing has been sufficient to
absorb such offerings and maintain the de-
cidedly strong tone of the market.

ARMENIAN EXAGGERATION.
Neither Side Has Kept Strictly to
the Truth.

ST. LOUIS, April A.-Edwin w. Wallace
United States consul at Jerusalem, who is
spending part Of his furlough here, said. in
an interview: II have no trouble in any par
tcular district of mine, which embraces all
of ancient Palestine. Press dispatches re-
ported 100 Armenians slaughtered in Jerusa-
lem and 400 killed in Caesarea. No such
massacres occurred, and may say that 9TH
er reported slaughters credited to the Turks
did not take place. On the other hand. manv
massacres took place in Armenian towns, and
the world was never the wiser. The fact is.
there has been good deal Of exaggeration
both ways about the Armenian troubles.
There are $50 Armenians in Jerusalem, and
they are in constant fear of their liyes.''
