saws: The reduction in the Bank of
England discount rate today to per
cent was unexpected, but the effect on
the market was very slight, as it leaves
in a sense. less margin to so for the
rise in stocks. Other banks and discount
houses lowered their deDosit rates in
proportion. The settlement was salts
factorily concluded and the markets
were quiet today, with some reaction At
the close. Nevertheless, there was a
good undertOne, with renewed attention
to mines. Americans were irregular;
the tone was not bad, but the plain fact
is, inasmuch as Americans have prac-
tically disappeared from the public
mind as profitable change Of specuia-
ton, lead of the very strongest kind

CHICAGO Grain and Produce.

Chicago, May 13.-Wheat opened with
some disposition in the crowd to buy
at a slight advance over Yesterdays
close. although no reason for the
strength was apparent, unless il was
the influence of last nights strong
curb. This reason, although shadowy,
was sufficient to start July at 1sc. adj
vance, 735ac., and hoist it up to 1895 q
13%1. Then the slump which was inev-
liable, in view of the nature of the
early news, occurred, the market slid
ing off by easy stages TO 13c., which
marked the ebb OF the tide for the day.
The bearish news consisted of a Ad.
opening decline at Liverpool and an
other lad. decline later on. California
kilograms said that even if all the late
sown wheat was DESTROYED, the area
left was practically as large as the
harvested acreage last year. Much
needed rain was also reported from
various parts of the state. Northwest
ern receiDts were liberal, the number
of cars received at Minnea polls anc
Duluth being 312, against 35S a Week
ago. and 263 last year.
But rhe rest OF the news and Stats
tics We're bullish and were instrumental
in changing the bearish feeling to 4
bullish one. Liverpool broke I'D. be-
fore that market closed, and other con-
tinental markets showed good ad-
vances. New York wired that the en-
gagements there and at outports yes
terday aggregated 500, 444 bushels, and
there had been rather free acceptances
today on last nights cable orders. Bos-
ton and Baltimore also cleared freely
and 1000 bushels were reported taken
here for export.
Predictions of frost for tonight quick
ened the demand considerably. The
market showed decided strength dur
inc the last hour, and as high as 74fs
was paid for July on a reported sale of
80 boatloads for export at New York
and difficulty there to get wheat to de-
liver on Nav contracts. The closing
price was 741Hc. asked.
Corn was strong and fairly active
The advance in wheat, small receipts
and predictions of frost tonight in sew
eral western states all had their effect
in producing the firmness which char
acterized the market throughout May
was particularly strong
In oats the working of a big line for
shipment was the main feature. Trad
ing was fairly active, but principally
on a scalping nature.
Outside of buying by packers trade in
provisions was not very active. The
market exhibited some opening weak
ness. due to a like condition at the
yards.

C. A. sMURTHwAIrE pEPosED.
His Friends Claim Because of Po-
Etica1 Activity.


It came out yesterday that C. A.
Smurthwaite, as we'll as John Seaman.
had gotten out of harmony with the
church authorities and had conse-
quently been depcsed from his position
as member of the central board of
the Y NJ NJ. l. A. There are several
versions of the affair, but the one, per-
haps, given with most frequency, is
about as follows:
On Sunday, March 2S last, meeting
of the central board was called for the
purpose OF hearing a statement from
Mr.. Smurthwaite in regard to his do
ings in the recent senatorial contest.
particularly his controversy with Elder
B. II. Roberts.
1t is conceded that Mr.. Smurthwaite
was the author of some letters advo-
eating the election of Mr. Thatcher.
The first of these was sent as a DER
sonal letter TO B. Fl. Roberts, who
asked Mr.. Smurthwaite's permission to
publish the letter, together with a re
ply The permission was denied, but
later the letter was published and lis
reoly replied TO by Mr.. Snlurthwait
II was this controversy, so his friends
claim, that caused Mr.. Smurthwaite to
be required TO explain. The meeting
resulted, it is said, in a request for
Mr.. Smurthwaite's resignation. That
gentleman declined to resign, hut in
stead asked for copy of the minutes
at which his case came up. This copy
was not furnished. At the conference
a few weeks ago Mr.. Smurthwaite 9
name was not presented for confirDla-
ton.

boy told a clear story of having right

prosecuting attorney subjected him to
a. close questioning as to the details Of
the crime and the removal of the

In making a few remarks to the court
when urging conviction, the attorney
laid stress on the act Of the bow in

The Chase Stock company played
$500, 900 for a Wife" last night to a
somewhat small audience. but they
played it we'll. The company is really
deserving of crowded houses; their
manner of putting on Damon and

praises from those who have seen the
greatest actors appear in it's roles. An
effort is being made to have the COM
pany repeat this play Saturday night
for the benefit of K. of p. lodges who
are interested in the matter. The i'm
preston got abroad at first that the
acting would be inferior, becauses the
prices were low. This has been proven
a mistake.
