Chicago, April 2s.-Scarcely anything
ranking as activity or animation occurred
IN wheat to-day. The range Of prices was
narrower than it has been Ia a long time
and even local traders were for the time
being indisposed to attempt trading on an
extensive scale. The reason for this dis
inclination was doubtless due TO the de-
livery day Of May option As yet It IL be-
neved there IL much TO be liquldated The
sensible widening Of the spread between
May and July took place Indicating that
some changing was going on, longs not rel-
ishing the prospect OF having the wheat
delivered 10 them under present conditions.
The Influences were mainly bcarlsh ONES,

ever being at a net loss from yesterday.
July wheat opened from 637s to 63Ac, sold
between GA and 63laM639sc closing at 63A
G35sc-4sG11a cents under yesterday. Cash
wheat was steady and unchanged.
Corn-It was a difficult matter to con-
ceiVe of activity in corn, with wheat al
most stagnant. Wheat gave the corn pit
the appearance of lifelessness. Prices were
almost stationary, aIenough a decline from
yesterday was noted. There was a slight
recovery from the inside, due to the stead
Ter feeling which developed elsewhere on
the floor. July corn opened a 3O1zc, de-
clined to 3OAGS0ssc, closing at 303sc bid, &c
under yesterday Cash corn was Ac lower
Oats-No motive for strength or activ-
ity developed in cats, and following the
other grains prices were easy. Trade was
dull and inactive. July oats closed h6A
cents lower. Cash oats were easy to a cent
lower.
Provisions-But light and Indifferent
trading took place I'm product. The general
tone of the market was steady. As the hog
market showed no particular change there
was no reason for a radical alteration in
provisions At the close July pork was SC
lower; July lard 21zc lower and July ribs a
shade lower than yesterday.

The whole burden OF Senator Daniels
speech IS the fall in the prices Of every
thing that he enormously attributes TO
scarcity Of money. We were looking over a
review of Great Britain's trade in last
Wednesdays Journal Of Commerce and
we found that in 1854 she imported A.
1880 cwts, Of wheat. worth Gl9,S25,o2l
and that she imported in 1894 IolSi,35J
cwts. Of wheat worth G1s760,5o5. In other
words prices had fallen to such an extent
in the ten years that seventy millions OF
cwts. were worth more than million Of
pounds less in 1891 than forty millions had
been worth In 1854. But what a blessing
this was TO the people in Great Britain
who must eat bread. 1t means that m!i-
lions Of poor people who went hungry IN
1854, had a plenty of bread in 1884 How
any one can argue that the cheapenins OF
prices is a calamity TO man passes our
comprehension.

Six Desperate Criminals Make Their Escape
at Louisville, Ky.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct ga daring
Jail delivery was perpetrated last night
at the county Jail shortly after $50
o'clock, and six desperate prisoners
made their escape. The delivery was
supposed to be Wholesale one, in
which every prisoner confined on the
third floor of the old Jail was to get
out, but the watchfnlness of the turn
keys prevented this, and only six men
escaped. They gained their liberty by
scraping the mortar from the bricks in
cell No. 5, letting the bricks fall into
the interior of the cell, and in this
manner they got hole large enough
for them to climb through. One at a
time, they made their way out of the
hole and climbed up on to the roof.
Then, by means of short rope. they
let themselves down into a narrow al
ley between the wall of the Jail yard
and an abutment of the new Jail, and
escaped.

A Scientific Opinion.

"Science," says distinguished schol-
ar, must be candid, even at the ex-
pense of the essential probability of it's
own deductions" What this some
what learned sentence means may be
gathered from an instance of scientific
candor. A gentleman had bought q
decorated vase which had been repre-
sented as an antique. After it had
come into his possession he submitted
it to an archeologist to obtain his
JUDGMENT as to its authenticity. The
archeologist examined it with great
care and made the following report.
"The painting of this vase bears every
evidence of being very ancient, where
