CHICAGO MARKETS
The Days Transactions on the Board
of Trade

CHICAGO, April 2s-In wheat firm
opening was caused by the early Liver
pool cables which were much stronger than
was anticipated in view Of yesterdays de-
cline here. July, which closed the day be-
fore at 71asd721s, opened at from 717s@72
and after some scalpers had disposed of
what long wheat they had and in parting
with had depressed the price of July to
~, It began to rise again and had reached
72A AG723s before 10 o'clock. From the action
of the market 1t was evident that specu-
lators as a rule favored the buying side.
influenced by the sharp break of the past
two days and the tendency of the market
during the morning was to advance on the
slightest encouragement. Immediately
after the noon hour the previous upward
tendency of the market and confident buy
ing by the bulls gave place to the exact
opposite. So sudden was the change that
July, which in the meantime had sold as
high as 721s and worked back again to 72
and was worth the latter figure at 1905
o'clock. could not be sold at II cents at 1910
pm. In about fifteen minutes more 1t had
tumbled to 69%@69B, a decrease of 2A cents
per bushel in twenty-five minutes. The
reasons for such a sudden collapse must
be asoribed entirely to speculative condi-
tions in the pit. An attempt to sell out
100000 bushels of wheat bought during the
forenoon was perhaps the direct starter
of the selling. That selling was regarded
with all the more suspicion as it COM
menced as soon as Bradstreets visible sup
ply statement was made known, as that
was bpllish. 1t gave the worlds decrease
at 1869 900 bushels, decrease of about half
as much as all that had been expected.
The closing cables were very disappoint-
ing. Liverpool showed decline for the
day of from I'd to 11sd per GENITAL. A re-
action took place before the close, but the
market was nervous and weak to the end,
70H being the final quotation for July.
Corn. was steady and very dull, wuth lit
tie changing from May to July going on.
Rain was a steadying influence and the
break in wheat had no effect. Oats were
firm, especially in view of the break in
wheat. The rains west caused the steady
feeling early and a good shipping demand
helped later. 1t was merely a day of
changes in provisions but prices held
steady Notwithstanding the dullness.
The leading futures closed as follows:

An Old Road Made New.

And now another joke is taken
away from the already heavily afi1ict-
ed Photographer and speciality artist.
No more can either ring the changes
on that time-honored old minstrel Joke
about the man who wanted to go to
Chicago "the worst way,n and was di-
rected to the Baltimore and Ohio sta
ton, for the work of Strengthening the
curves, which were at once the delight
and horror of all through passengers
on the picturesque Baltimore and
Ohio" is about concluded, aud the
trip through the mountains no longer
reminds one of crossing the English
Channel on particularly rough day.
This will be welcome news to the
general public and to Baltimore and
Ohio nthusiasts-peopie who would
not take any other route to their desti
nations if the Baltimore and Ohio
would possibly serve them. These are
mostly passionate admirers of natural
scenery, to whom the gigantic piano.
rama along the Baltimore and Ohio
route can never become stale. Indeed,
why should it, when it is never twice
the same? Scenery on scale of such
immensely is like the ocean in its sus-
ceptibility to change. Not only with
the seasons, but with the days, does its
beauty vary. And even through
summer day it is never the same scene
an hour at a time. Like a kaliedo-
scope, which the slightest alteration
in position occasions totally new
view, so the forests and mountains
along this scenic route assume wholly
new appearances with every passing
cloud and every weather condition.
Now that the exaggerated bug-bear
of the Baltimore and Ohio curves has
been finally disposed of, and its road
bed made second to none, the excel
lence of its equipment and the pecul-
