CHICAGO MARKET
The Days Transactions on the Board
of Trade

CHICAGO, June s-The resumption of
business after yesterdays holiday in
augurated rise in wheat which grew for
half an hour with the rapidity of Jacks
famous beanstalk. July, which was worth
only G6Bc last Saturday. commenced its
career this morning with buyers at from
6714c to 671sc, and in little more than half
an hour it was bringing 6S5sc. The sudden
change from last weeks bearishness to
such pronounced strength was primarily
due to the supposed ill effect of the recent
| cold weather. Not that any great present
injury was claimed to have been done, but
because Of dangerous retardation of an
already backward state of growth. In
addition, the visible supply statement
showed a decline of 2,447, 900. which was
200 bushels greater reduction than any
one had considered likely. The trading
was heavy during the first hour, in which
time great deal of short wheat was COW
cred, besides considerable quantity that
was bought on long account. Chicago re-
ceipts since Saturday were fifteen cars,
and ia, 900 bushels were inspected out of
store. Minneapolis and Duluth received
$3.50 cars, against 6S5 a year ago. The
worlds shipment of wheat to Europe last
week was 6,6SO,OOO bushels. Export clear
ances of wheat and flour from the Atlantic
coast since Saturday amounted to $50 600
bushels. The reduction of LABS, 900 bushels
in the visible supply was surprise and
added greatly to the strength which the
market displayed. After the first advance
in July to 6Sssc 1t reacted to 6S1sc, but once
more rose to the highest point about an
hour from the close of the session. The
market gained in strength toward the
close and about fifteen minutes from the
end Of the session July was bringing 69Ac.
This price was maintained to the close.
Corn was very strong throughout, al
though not holding all of it's advance.
Prices yielded fraction when the weather
forecast was issued showing warmer
weather likely. Oats were firm on a rather
draggy market. The Orange Judd Farmer
put a damper on the market by predicting
a larger crop and better quality than last
year. Provisions were barely steady within
a narrow range and with limited trading.
The lending futures closed as follows.

OFFICE OF THE HERALD.
Los Angeles, June 8, 1897.

In connection with the article in this
mornings issue of The Herald upon the
subject Of the proposition to establish
postal savings banks under the control of
the government. we quote from speech
made q few weeks ago by Postmaster
General Gary, who said:
..And / hope to be able to get legislation
through congress to that effect. Such banks
might be founded in connection with 2per
cent bond issued by the government, and
might result in these bonds being held by
the people in every part of the country.
They would give a foundation for the es-
tablishing of national banks everywhere,
and they would bind our people together.
Every man that held bond would be a
patriot There would be no more borrow
ing money from England, and there would
be millions who would save who are not
saving now. 1 don't believe In the fear
many people have of a national debt, and
think, in many respects. Gen. Butler was
right when he said that public debt was
a national blessing"
1t can be readily seen that the system
suggested by the honorable gentleman is
entirely at variance with the postal savings
bank system of England and elsewhere,
and, as stated by him, needs elaboration to
be fully understood. What does he mean
by postal savings banks being established
when the government is the bank, and how
would these bonds be held by the people in
every part of the country. and how would
the postal savings banks aid in giving a
Foundation for the establishment of ma
tional banks everywhere?

Four Lives Lost in . Very Peculiar
Manner.
North Branch, Mimi, Feb. 11.-On
lonely farm near here there has oc-
Cured shocking tragedy, Mr.. and Mrs.
John Bonniman and two grown sons
meeting instant death in most peculiar
and dreadful manner. It is the custom
among the farmers around North
Branch, situated as they are just at the
edge of the great pine woods, to raise
very large potato crops, and for these
they dig pits in the ground. The Bon
nimans are well-to-do farmers and
their potato pit was an unusually large
and deliberately finished one. Besides
the light trap door at the top there are
heavy double doors at the side toward
which leads to an inclined plane, the
whole structure or cellar being per-
fectly air tight and frost excluding.
Tuesday Mr.. Bonniman had built a fro
in the pit, as he feared the frost would
penetrate, and on Wednesday morning
he went, with his oldest son, to
straighten up the place. Together they
lifted the heavy trapdoor and the father,
stalwart man of nearly so years Of
age, let himself down into the pit.
No sooner had he done so than, to tho
horror of the young man looking in
from above, he dropped dead, or at least
unconscious. -.~@
The young man gave shrek of ter
ror and went in to the rescue of his
father. He, too, became instantly a
corpse, but his scream had brought his
brother, a boy of 10, from the barn,
and moment later his mother came
running from the house, followed by
her youngest son, lad of II years.
The second son arrived first and dropped
into the death trap. thinking to help
his father and brother, but the
dreadful fire damp had done it's work
on him, too. When the mother arrived,
In her terror, she, too, jumped into the
pit. She was Immediately overpowered
| by the gas, but the fumes. which were
not now so strong had left her just
strength enough to tell her remaining
son not to come into the cellar, but to
get help. The boy brought a neighbor
as soon as possible and the side doors of
the pit we're forced open. It was too
late. however, to save the victims, and
all efforts at resuscitation proved USE
less.

Spain Opens Cuba to Miss Barton.
Washington, Feb. 12.-Knowing from
authentic sources of the restitution ex-
isting in Cuba, the American National
Red Cross offered it's services as an or
ganization. Some international flaw
presenting itself, Miss Barton immedi-
ately offered herself and her officers
for individual service in Cuba, pro-
vided Spain acceded, and the American
people desired to place their contribu-
tons of money or materials in tho
hands of Miss Barton and her officers.
She has received from Minister Do
LONE a letter in which she is info1 med
that the king of Spain accepts her be-
nevolent offer.

Late Notes ON the Cretan Situation
Greece Interferes.
Constantinople, Feb. 12.-The porte
has communicated by telegraph with
the powers asking their support in the
effort of Turkey to restore order in
Crete, and the ambassadors are confer
ring upon the question of exerting
concerted pressure upon Greece to
compel the recall of the Greek fleet
from Cretan waters. s-s4~ssa-&
Athens, Feb. ia feeling of tho
greatest excitement prevails here. The
newspapers have issued midnight edi-
lions containing a report that the vail
IF Smyrna has chartered steamer for
the purpose of transporting troops to
Crete and this in face of the assur-
ances given to the powers by the porte
that Turkey would not send reinforce
ments to the island. The city is alive
at this hour and the principal streets
are filled with Greeks who demand that
the Grecian war ships shall prevent the
landing Of further troops in Crete. It
is believed here that orders to that ef-
feet have already been given to Prince
George, and there is no doubt he will
carry out his Instructions. in which
case war with Turkey would probably
result, unless diplomacy or superior
force should be employed to divert
Greece from her determination to pro-
tect the Cretan Christians, and also,
perhaps, to bring about the long sought
for annexation of the island. IS
London, Feb. i'm. Hanoteaux, the
French minister, has initiated propos-
ala that the powers blockade Crete and
that they also occupy Canea, Retimo
and the other centers of disorder, pend
ing a settlement of the dispute that will
be satisfactory to the Cretans. Active
negotiations on these proposals ara
now proceeding.
