Chicago, Ills, April 17-Mal wheat today
closed at 7S5zs, a clean advance of 41sc
since Thursday. This advance on short
Saturday session was attended with much
excitement. and the session throughout
was as lively one as has been witnessed
in many months. Everyone wanted TO buy
wheat, but there was little for sale and the
advance was at times so rapid as to fairly
take the breath away from even the for
tunate holders. Beginning with a slight
decline, the market in the first twenty
minutes trading shot up 2 cents bushels.
After brief rest another cent was added.
Another let-up, and then the final bulge,
during which the market jumped a quar-
ter of a cent at time, until. just as the
closing bell rang, 1874 cents was recorded.
There were several reasons for the sudden
fright of the shorts. The more immediate
cause, however, was the report from New
York that wheat was up cents there, and
that at Antwerp and Berlin It was up
cents Thirty-two boat loads were sold
for export. some at an advance equivalent
to 3s cents per bushel. Rumors that the
local market was cornered, although I'M
confirmed, did not allay the bears appre-
tensions by any means. The big winners
In the local crowd were not many. Prob
ably the most successful one was John +.
Linn, who. il is said, has been on the win
ming side Of the market oftener than any OF
the men whose names are familiar in the
speculative world. John T. Barrett w. L.
Baker and w. ]. We'll, the New York
stock plungers, were also good winners.
1t is calculated that today's advance means
something like 100000 to wheat holders.
New York, April 17.-There was tremen-
dous excitement in the wheat market to-
day. Prices advanced cents a bushel in
little over two hours. Dealing ran up into
the Millions The shorts were completely
stampeded and their orders to buy flooded
the market from start to finish. War news
and foreign buying were the factors which
occasioned the tumult. The latter was by
far the heaviest seen here in a long time.
No limit was set on the execution of the
foreign orders. They simply said buy
wheat and it was bought in at any figure
During the regular market session May ad-
vanced from 7524 to 7Sc and later on the
curb, TO 79lkc. To the other influences was
added export demand at the close. Europe

and 100000 bushels.
St Louis, Mo-, April 17.-July, the ruling
option IN wheat here, closed at an ad-
vance of S5sd34c over Thursday. The OPP
ening was strong, and there was a rush of
shorts to cover. IN addition to considerable
buying by the regular bulls. The final price
which was the highest of the day, was 713s
cents. Advances in the other months were
made, and spot on track touched the 81
point but not many dealers paid that price.

LEO LIKES OUR SNUFF.

The Great PontiT Has Ordered a Large
lnstallment From Baltimore.
Pope Leo XIII has ordered another
installment Of snuff from Baltimore
firm that has been supplying the Vati-
can. The manufacturers say it is the
highest priced snuff made anywhere III
the world They say there is no direct
profit in the sale of the goods. This is
due to the fact that the snuff is manu-
featured from the pick of the finest Vir-
ginia and Kentucky leaf, and it is
necessary to be careful that every YES
tige of stem is removed before the to-
bacco is processed
1t has also TO be favored with high
priced extract, and it is packed in jars
of a capacity of from one to five pounds
especially manufactured for the purpose
Each jar is placed in leather case
lined with cardinal satin The firm
obtained its first order for the snuff
through Cardinal Gibbons, and for this
reason label it Cardinal" snuff. In adj
dition to the order from the Vatican
they have had orders from individual
priests in Rome. among these being the
Rev. John p. Farrelly Of the American
college. Washington Post.

Married For a Cooking Range.

A novel wedding occurred at the fair
ground at Chillicothe, Mo-, one after
noon recently in the presence of at least
10000 people. A hardware firm had
advertised to give nickel plated range
to any couple that would be married at
the fair grounds on certain afternoon.
Standing between the amphitheater and
the judges stand, Mr. b. V. Hughes
and Miss Susie Brant Of Wheeling
township accepted the offer and were
married in the presence Of the vast null
titude, assembled quite as much perhaps
to witness the wedding as to see the
races. The range had been brought to
the grounds and placed on the rostrum
erected for the bridal couple, and at
$3.50 p. m. the couple presented them
selves and were married, and, having
complied with the conditions required
by the firm, became the owners of the
hardware. Kansas City Times.

SUNNI Err GRIP.
A New Form of Influenza Has Made It's
Appearance.

New Form of Influenza Has Made It's
Appearance.
If summer grip is not an affection of
this season S invention, it is at least so
prevalent that most persons hear of it
now for the first time What is win
ming it most attention is the fact that
it seems TO be remarkably contagious
In some cases it has attacked one MEM
Der of family after another and has
then communicated itself TO visitors and
spread in their families.
Physicians who have attended such
cases tell their patients that it is re-
suit of the peculiar summer we have
had, with its many variations Of tenn
perature, and especially to the continued
cool weather. It's symptoms are much
the same as those of the familiar win
ter grip, including headache, sore
throat, fever and pains in the bones. 1t
makes some people sneeze so much that
they think they have fallen victims to
hay fever till doctors assure them of the
contrary.
One peculiarly unpleasant feature of
it seems to be the extreme depression Of
spirits which accompanies it sometimes.
Otherwise its attacks involve only tenn
porary discomfort, and they seem to be
generally light in character. But as n
new feature of summer life it is not
pleasant to contemplate.

nothing but disappointment and suffer

1.-The talk about the new goldfields
in that region, he said, "is not going
to pan out. The idea was exploded years
ago, as some Detroiters know to their
cost. In the early sixties my father did
some prospecting with the result that
in 1866 he formed the North Shore
Mineral Land company, with capital
OF $50, 900, of which 20 per cent was
paid up They dug a shaft 800 feet into
the mountain at Gross gap, near Lake
Wawa, but the results were disastrous.
They found plenty of iron, but it was
OF such poor quality that it was not
worth mining. Father spent nearly
$500, 600 i'll this work, wasted his for
