CHICAGO MARKET
TIE Days Transactions OF the Board o
Trade

IIuue
CHICAGO, May 2l.-There was very
small speculative business in wheat, the
trade being chiefly local and the lack
OF outside interest or support was one Of
the chief causes of the break which fol-
lowed the early advance. The feeling at
the start was quite strong and higher
prices were established, July advancing
10 62% and September to 64as. Later sharp
reaction set in and the former sold off to
607s and the latter to 6l%M51B final figures
showing 1hMlA loss Tor the day. The
to the crop damage claims from Michigan
and Indiana, the wet weather map and the
rather bullish summary Of the price cur.
the same tenor as yesterday. English mar
kets were quoted I'd higher and Berlin
was quoted 2h marks higher for May,
there regarding speculation in futures.
New York wired that corn and oats were
being used to fill previous engagements of
tonnage of wheat and there was talk of
gold shipments, which, with second pri-
vate cables coming unchanged started re-
neWed selling and prices gave way owing
a few good sized long lines unloaded on
the early advance and this helped to salts
fly the demand. The selling became quite
general as the session advanced, many
of the early buyers selling out and fur
ther declines took place. In corn there
was light trade, the feature early being
the scarcity of offerings. Oats were steady
with fair buying, but weakened later. Pro-
visions were heavy at the start and most
distinctly and aggressively beariSh in the
end. The plentifulness of hogs was the
cause. There was a furry on the stock
exchange today and as result Diamond
Match stock sold down from PIP at the
start to 200, while New York Biscuit stocks
sold off from 81 to "a. This bearish move
ment was due to a raid made by speculat-
ors from the board of trade A crowd of
them, headed by George Baldwin. ap-
peared on the stock exchange floor and at
once proceeded to make a raid on Diamond
Match and then New York Biscuit stock.
After the raid Diamond Match firmed up
to 2O4 and Biscuit to 30. The stock exchange
crowd declares 1t will be revenged by maxi
ing an unexpected descent upon the board
of trade in the near future.

Little Stories.

The Rev. DIR. X, occupying charge in
New England church announced some
time ago that the regular weekly prayer
meeting would be devoted to discussion of
a certain question of general interest to the
congregation. Many members of the church
wished to take part in the discussion it
was therefore decided to limit each mem
ber's remarks to five minutes. When the
speakers time expired, the clergyman was
to notify him by rapping with pencil on
the desk. Deacon A, VIGOROUSLY long
winded speaker and exhorter, was one of
the members at whom the restriction was
specially directed. As everybody antici-
pated, the deacon was one OF the first to
address the meeting, and he had not fairly
started on his remarks when the rap of the
pencil was heard.
Am to understand, asked the deacon.
turning to DIR. y, ''that my five minutes
have expired Pr
Yes, deacon; l am sorry, but your
time is up"
And all general remarks are limited to
five minutes ?"
''Yes; that was the understanding"
The deacon turned very deliberately tC
his fellow-membcrs. Then, brethren,
he proceeded, Il shall throw the remainder
of my remarks into the form of prayer"
The deacon kept the floor.-New Yorl

NOTICE.

At the last term of the Supreme
Court at Keene, Luna B. Cobb pro-
cured divorce from me on the ground
of abuse, not appearing against her
because of misunderstanding of the
circumstances of the case. I, in the
first place, brought petition against
her for divorce for abuse, desertion
and adultery; but l understood from
my counsel that her counsel agreed
that if l would strike the adultery
charge from my petition that they
would not appear against me at all.
This was done, but contrary to my I'M
derstanding from my attorney she was
allowed to go on and prove her case,
and as | hear on her own evidence
alone, except two witnesses testified as
to her good standing or something of
the kind. l understand that my wife
testified that l pinched her neck and
frightened her and made her sleep in a
cold room in winter etc, every word OF
which is preposterous and false. l
shall reopen the case if possible.

A misplaced switch was the cause Of a
bad freight wreck Sunday night on the
Valley division of the Boston and Maine
railroad, just in the rear of the Main street
business blocks. Conductor A. j. O'Brey's
extra freight train was pulling out of the
railroad yard about 8.l5 for Windsor,
when the wreck occurred. The engine and
several cars passed over the switch all
right, when flat car broke in two and de-
rallied eight other heavily loaded cars, four
of which were utterly demolished and their
contents Of fertilizer and general merchan-
disc thrown promiscuously about the track,
while three others were badly wrecked,
blocking the tracks and delaying the owl
and other trains several hours For
tunately no one was injured.

Your Uncle Asa Perkins is one of a
few. He belongs to the creditor class
with money to burn. Yet right on
the face of this he is one of the biggest
roarers for silver in the classic pre-
cincts of this city. He contends that
free silver will make wheat $l per bu-
shell; that the human wearing apparel
will be lined with silver and that even
his short, stubby beard, will, when
properly shaken, drop forth silver dol
lars at the ratio of sixteen silver to one
gold dollar. Your Uucle Asa is an
ever ready street corner challenger OF
the cause OF silver and he makes his
voice heard from one end of the street
to the other when discussing the all.
important problem.
