ago, and 413 the corresponding day of the
previous year. New York wired that
there were numerous bids there from the
United Kingdom for spot wheat. but at
prices quite little below starting rates
A private Liverpool cable said there was
good continental demand for cargoes
afloat That was probably the most
substantial encouragement to buying Of
wheat that came in with the first batch
OF dispatches. Buying commenced again

May was bringing 741sc.
Corn was strong all day. There was
not much speculation, but the strength

the wet weather indicating smaller ar

large, amounting TO 1,550000 bushels.
May opened &c higher at 241zc. advanced
to 24%c. and closed at that price.
Oats ruled firm under a very good
business. The market was helped by the
wet weather. and the strength OF wheat

ST. LOUIS KIDNAPPING CASE
Eleven Years-Oi Ella Burdens Disappear
ance SO Accounted for.


ST. Louis, March 17.-Ella Burden, IL
years old, heiress TO 100000, has been
inexplicably missing from her home
since Monday.
She lived with her grandmother, Mrs.
Burden, at 5032 Minerva street, and left
home Monday for the Dozier school,
where she is regarded as one of the
brightest and prettiest Of the 200 pu-
pills. At $50 o'clock in the afternoon.
the usual hour, she left the school for
home and went part of the way with
several other girls, to a point where she
usually took a car for home. Nothing
has been heard of her since.
Her father, who is married the second
time, has permitted the child to live with
his mother, which was the dying request
of her mother several years ago. The
child frequently went to her fathers and
her grandmother, thinking she was there
thought nothing Of her absence until late
at night, when her father failed to bring
her home. The alarm was at once given.
Mr.. Burden has every agency possible
at work for her recovery. He declares
that the only possible theory of her dis
appearance is that she was Kidnapped
and is being held by her captors until
a sufficient reward is offered.
Ella is a beautiful child and well
grown for her age. A large reward is
offered for her return.
