CHICAGO MARKETS.


Chicago. March 1S.-Wheat started firm.
July Ac higher at S5isaS5l4c and May Ac
higher at 81 .04Is. It was raining through
out the West, in itself depressing Tea
ture, but freezing weather was reported
in the Northwest and there was a good
deal of apprehension of the frost line ex-
tending over the water-soaked winter
wheat fields Possible damage from this
source did not at nrst result In a great
increase in the buying demand, but 1t
stopped the selling pressure and shorts
anxious to cover found it necessary TO ad-
vance their bids materially before secur-
in the desired wheat.
In the first As minutes of trading July
was advanced to so24c Then realizing
scalpers caused reaction to S5ase, where
the market hung for short time. After
that the market gradually became strong
err and trade broadened out considera-
bly,.
Later advices from Liverpool showed
sharp advances. both in cash and in the
deferred futures. California sent quite
gloomy crop reports, predictions being
that the crop, on account of the drouth,
would not exceed 20000,000 bushels. That
these reports were taken seriously In Cal
ifornia was evidenced by the number of
covering orders, both for May and July
contracts, but especially for the former.
which were received from that source.
-
that stores there were nearly exhausted.
The seaboard advices were of bullish
character. an improved foreign demand
at better prices being reported.
The price of July reached S61sc on buy
ing of shorts. Realizing caused reaction
to S5s4c, but near the end of the session
advanced to s6h@S6ssc, closing strong at
S6lsc Quite large trade was done In
May. California shorts were especially
good buyers. Letter was a free seller, but
the market was strong enough to absorb
everything offered, and probably ,OOO
bushels were disposed of by the Letter
people at prices around $lO53. May sold
as high as 81 06 and closed at sl.05A.
Corn was strong though not very ac-
tive May closed &c higher.
Oats We're fairly active and stronger In
sympathy with other grains and on the
unfavorable weather May closed At
higher.
Provisions were very dull and on tbs
whole weak. though trading was toe
small TO admit of material decline. Al the
close pork was 2i2c lower and May iaro
and ribs unchanged.

Three fourths Of all the aches. pains

circulation. The slow blood stream gets
choked with an accumulation of waste
matter that declares its presence in

neuralgia and inability to sleep. All
these unnatural conditions can be cor

with by vigorously cleansing the blood

Paines celery compound is pre-

In every city, village and hamlet

To every good cause and to every

THE WAR is OVER.
The Electric City Telephone Company
sells Out to the Old Line.

The Electric City Telephone Company
sells Out to the Old Line.
Great Falls, March 1s-The telephone
war is over, or perhaps it is just be-
ginning. The announcement this aft
ernoon that the Electric City Tele-
phone company had sold it's posses
sions to the Rocky Mountain Bell Tele
phone company spread through the city
like wildfire, and expressions of mixed
criticism and regret We're heard every
where. The terms of the sale are not
known, and possibly they will never be
known by the public. The management
of the Electric City Telephone COM
pany tonight handed this office the
following letter to subscribers
ITO the subscribers of the Electric
City Telephone company: AT a meet
ing of the board of directors of the
Electric City Telephone company, held
March IS, 1898, it was decided to dis
continue service in Great Falls, and to
sell all of said company's property.
The reasons for this action are:
"F'irst-We erred in entering field
already occupied by another telephone
company, which, however we hoped to
drive out: but their long lines, special
connections, together with their strong
financial standing, their experience and
superior methods, have proven too
much for us.
"Second-The rates charged have not
proven adequate to meet the expenses;
in fact, we find it costs more to oper-
ate and maintain a telephone exchange
| than we believed necessary.
''Third-We have operated at a loss
since starting, and have therefore con-
! sidered it advisable to sell our prop
/ erty at a sacrifice rather than continue
/ business.
4 Thanking our friends for the many
] kindnesses shown us, and acknowledge
/ ing a very expensive experiment we
remain,
&c. w. DUNLAP, President.
&c L. HERZOG, Secretary"
Service will be discontinued March
81. 1895
The outcome of this action is rather
puzzling to determine tonight. Ii Is
stated on the street that the stock
! holders of the Electric City company
will commence injunction proceedings
against the board of directors, and as
stated at the outset what appears to be
the end of the war may prove only the
beginning 1t is certain that many Of
the stockholders are hostile ever the
matter and are not likely to submit
quietly.
The city attorney, H. H. Ewing, was
tonight asked by the Standard man
just what rights the city had in the
matter and he replied that he had
heard of the transfer only a few min
utes before and could give no answer.
/ 1t is possible that the city will be in
terested in it only to the extent of the
free use of five instruments, and that
that relation will not be disturbed by
the Bell company. The common opin-
ion of people seen here tonight is that
the old rates will be Immediately re-
stored and the telephone war will prove
| but a Temporary blessing. At the pres
ent time many are paying 81 per month
for their instruments, and it is said
that some are getting their use free OF
charge.

Regulations to Govern Transportation Through
 American Territory.
Goods for the KlOndike Will Be Sent With All Possible
 Dispatch.
The Collector at Dyea Is to Be Given Discretion in the Matter of
 Bonds.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
Call Office, Riggs House,

Washington, Jan. 27.
 The Treasury Department will soon issue the regulations governing the transportation of Canadian goods for the Klondike through American ter ritory These regulations will be as liberal to Canadians as the regulations of Canada are to the men of this coun- try who pass through Canadian terri tory.
 The regulations will prescribe two ways of taking goods in bond through American territory. One will be the payment of duties on the goods at the port of entrance. either Dyea or Ska quay. Upon the payment of the du- ties a certificate will be given. If the goods pass inspection at the place of exit, near Lake Linderman, the cer- tificate can be returned to the port. of entrance and the money will be re- funded. Another way will be the fur nishing of a bond. The goods will then be accompanied by manifest. If they are untouched when examined at the place of entrance into Canadian terri tory, the bond will be cancelled. It is said that several surety companies are now forming. at convenient places.
 The treasury officials have not been officially informed that there is extens- i've or formidable protest from Cana dians over the present arrangements for the transportation of goods. The Chamber of Commerce at Vancouver is agitated upon the subject. As the mat ter stands now, deputy collector ac- companies the goods of Canadians through American territory, and charges them s6 day for his services. Canadians object to this as exorbitant, and want it stopped. A cry is going up from Vancouver to close the passes of Canadian territory to Americans.
 It is thought that the treasury regu- lations on the subject of bonds for goods going through American terri tory will be as lenient as possible. The collector at Dyea will be allowed to use considerable discretion in the matter of the kind Of bonds he may take.
