We wonder whether any statist or any
doctor in great practice knows accurately
whether there Is any positive increase
among the educated classes in the number
of sudden deaths, by which we mean
deaths without any recovery of conscious.
ness from the moment of seizure. We
fancy it is Sc, though the fancy may only
be born of the special notice one accords to
such events, and we fancy also, this time
with more certainty, that there is a marked
change in the manner in which such Incl.
dents are regarded. Forty years ago every
body who heard of a sudden death among
his acquaintance deemed 1t incumbent on
him to profess and in many cases actually
felt sort of horror which today is almost
absent from mems minds.
Uonventionalism on tho subject is ex-
tinct no one deplores the suddenness of
the event. and those who speak frankly say
openly, "Ilow terrible for his relations,
but how fortunate for him" The instinc.
tive winOing or shivering of the mind
seems, in fact, to have been transferred to
the deaths after long suffering, and it is
not uncommon to hear men acknowledge
that thoy would rather die as the arch
bishop Of Canterbury died than in any 9TH
er way, and even declare that they now
carefully avoid repeating that prayer in the
Litany, which, as th, think, Involves a
petition to the Almighty against sudden
death
1t is by no means clear from tho context
that they are NOS partially in error ard
that the prayer in not directed against the
death ny violence which at the time it was
written was OF all subjects Of apprehension
The most constant and most reasonable. 1t

SHORT SIDE TRADERS PANIC-STRICKEN.

this advance as on the earlier one.
After that the market was quieter.
January shorts, in the meantime had
not been idle. That month opened
strong at from 93c to 94c, and it sold
as high as SIC during the excitment,
an advance of SIC since yesterday. 1t
was figured that the influences con-
trolling December also applied to jan
uary and shorts got under cover as
quickly as they could. May was also
very strong, though it did not have the
semi-panicky appearance of the other
options. 1t opened at 91@91Ac, as COM
pared with yesterdays closing price of
9O12Q9O9sc, and had advanced by noon
to 929a@92%c.
If the market, at the opening, had
been left as usual, to take its imprint
from those things that usually affect
it, decline would in all probability
have occurred. The number of cars
received today at Minneapolis and Du-
luth was S25, compared with 7S3 a week
ago, and 67S the week before. Chicago
got 100000 bu by lake, besides 2lS cars
by rail. AS it was believed that yes
terday's figures indicated that receipts
in the Northwest would from now on
show a steady falling off, this showing
was a disappointment, but the wild
antics of the December option caused
the Northwest receipts to be entirely
overlooked. The quantity inspected
out from here was 10000 bu. Liver
pool opened firm at an advance of Esd,
and closed only q shade higher, al
though they must have known there
before the end of their session of the
early considerable strength Of the mar
ket here. The continental markets
were very little changed. The exports
from Atlantic ports were quite up to
their recent liberal average, the days
total being equal, in wheat and flour,
to 633 900 bu, including 900 bu wheat
from Galveston. Reports of rain inter
fering with the harvesting of wheat in
Argentine, like a good many other re-
ports received very little attention.
December, during the final hours
trading, moved irregularly between
$1.0S1h and $1.07, closing nervous et tiIaL
price. May had reacted to 922sQ92hc
at the close, while January wound up
at 9412c.
NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-The sensation

hected locally by a net Improvement of

active at times, did not approach the
excitement reported in the West, as
traders here were pretty well evened
up and too shrewd, in the present un-
settled state of the market affairs, to
branch out into fresh deals. Accord
ingly. only scalping business was ac-
complished, save for little foreign

Der option sold from csc to 99Ac, and
closed at $3.50, while May closed at
94%c, after sales at 937sc and 95c. The
advance effectively checked exporters
who were only able to secure twenty
loads.

CHICAGO, Dec. 9.-Not since the
memorable corner of 1888, when "Old
Hutch squeezed the Chicago wheat
shorts in way that they have never
forgotten, have such scenes been en-
acted in the pit as were witnessed to-
day. when December wheat was bid
up from $1.00A to $109. The price paid
was the highest touched for a wheat
delivery since August, 1891. From the
time the market opened until the close,
though there were times of compara-
tive quiet and reactions in price, the
shorts were on the anxious seat, and
most of the time they were in a state
of panic-stricken terror. There was
apparently a general belief among
traders that the December bulls in
tend to control the dealing in that op-
ton. This opinion was strengthened by
the announcement that arrangements
had been completed whereby the con-
tract wheat will be shipped East, all
rail, as soon as delivered here, thus
keeping the market bare. This an
nouncement had great weight with the
shorts. The market closed at $1.07 for
December, a net gain for the day of
6& cents.
Wheat was very nervous at the start.
Shorts were evidently alarmed by the
announcement that the bull clique had
made arrangements to ship by rail all
the wheat delivered on December con-
tracts, and had also made advantage
Gus storage contracts in the East. The
consequence was there was a host of
buying orders for December at the
opening, mostly of moderate lots, 1t is
true, but they had the same effect on
the already strained market as if they
were for millions. There was no wheat
for sale. December closed yesterday at
S100H, but opening bids today ranged
all the way from $1.01A to $1.04 and
even at the top there was scarcely
bushel to be had. This precipitated a
perfect scramble among the shorts, not
in December alone, but In January and
May also. Before wheat came out
$105 was offered for December. Then
came lull which lasted for an hour
Brokers operating for the bull clique
attempted to stem the tide, but prob
ably from 100000 to 250,000 bu were
taken before a reaction occurred. De-
cember declined to $1.031s but by 11;45
had again risen to $1.05. Then came
the storm. Within five minutes and
amid a whirl of excitement December
was bid up to $1.OS. 1t reacted with
jerk to $1.O61a, then up again without
stop to $1.09, the highest point bid for
wheat in this market in six years.
Probably as much wheat was sold on

time he expressed hopes of survival

dinner this evening he thought there

President Mckinley was not hopeful as

DISAPPEARANCE EXPLAINED.
Body of a Missing Duluth Fisher
man Found.

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Mimi, Dec. 9.-The body of a
man supposed to be Joseph Hardy, fisher
man, who lived on Oak Point, was found
in the weeds near the Superior pump house
on Minnesota point this afternoon. The dis
covery was made by George Ward and Ernest
Maynard, who we're crossing the point and
had left the beaten path. The body was
badly decomposed, and presented evidence
that the man had been dead for some time.
Hardy has been missing for three months,
and the supposition that it is his body Is
based on the fact that the clothing is identical
with that worn by Hardy when last seen.
How the man met his death is mystery.
The body is SO wasted away that 1t would be
almost impossible to find evidence of foul
play even if it was thought that he had met a
violent death. The police know nothing OF
the case and are at a loss for a theory. An
inquest will be held tomorrow.
