CHICAGO MARKET
Prices and Prospects of the Trade in
Cereals

CHICAGO, May 2.-On the belief that the
war would soon be ended, prices today
declined on the board of trade. Despite
higher quotations in Europe, traders sold
everything here freely. Trading in wheat
began with the American naval victory
at Manila uppermost in the speculative
mind Traders believed that the close of
the war was already possibly in sight, and
that it would be followed by the cessation
of the urgent foreign demand. From the
start professionals sold July wheat freely
cent below Saturdays close. They did
that in spite of the fact that Liverpool
started Id. higher, and did not convince
themselves of having perhaps too hastily
commenced discounting the termination Of
the war until later quotations from Liv-
erpool showed steady material advances to
the initial advance. The Chicago bears
amended their original views on seeing the
continued foreign strength, and the result
was recovery in the course of an hour
of all the early decline. Rumors of the
surrender of Manila caused several sharp
breaks later.
The visible supply decreased 2 1851 600 BUSH
els. The fine weather reported was offset
by predictions of frost in the west. July
started l cent lower, at from 5o7s to "a
cents, improved gradually to 949s dropped
back to 94ls, and advanced again to 95ss 1t
dipped as low as 1891. The close was at
Ac lower, at 1.20. declined to 1.17la, reacting
to 120 at the close.
Fine weather for corn was the dominant
influence in the corn pit. Liquidation was
heavy in all options. July closed 7sc net
lower.
Trading in oats was heavy. Distant flu
lures ruled weak throughout on free liqui-
dalton. May closed Ac lower
The Manila victory caused some selling
of provisions and prices ruled lower
throughout. Liverpool quoted bacon firm
and lard Sd. higher. July pork lost 22lac
lard, 12l2c, and ribs 10c.

Neatly Rebuked

A Wall street broker added this reminis-
cense of the last war to several improbable
stories that We're told in a downtown
office:
Shortly after the first battle of Bull
Rum" he said, II walked up Broadway and
stopped at the saloon which was then run
ming in the building once occupied by Phil
Hone at the corner of Great Jones street
and Broadway. The barroom was crowded
with miscellaneous lot of people, each
one trying to out-talk some one else, and
conspicuous in the crowd was a soldier in
uniform who had been in the battle and
evidently hadn't stopped retreating until
he reached New York. His theme was his
own valor, and he wasn't modest in his

Chances for Life on a Torpedo Boat

The relative danger Of services ON our
different fighting ships is just now the sub
ject of interesting speculation on the part
Of naval officers, and one officer summed it
up last week in this fashion:
1.-THE crew of a torpedo boat that goes into
action must embark with almost a certain
ty of death. If they are ordered to attack
in the daytime their only hope is to avoid
the rapid fire guns of the ship which they
expect to blow up. The boats are con-
tructed to make a bold dart at the enemy
and fire torpedo, but they would be sunk
by well-aimed rapid fire guns easily Even
in a night attack the chances are that the
enemys searchlights would pick them up,
and then 1t would be a race to discharge
their torpedoes before they were sunk The

destruction of a large percentage OF tor
pedo boats is always counted on in gen.
eral engagement. The dynamite cruiser
Vesuvius would offer as much danger to
her crew as a torpedo boat If she went
into action. You must remember that
when she is loaded to fight she carries
large quantity of dynamite, and If an en-
emy's projectile penetrated to her maya
zine, the men on board would never know
what happened to Them If the Holland
submarine boat should be accepted by the
government, her crew would, to my mind,
run very fair chance of going to the bot
tom. Granting that she can do all tnat
is claimed for her, if she were sent out to
sink a batteship and exposed her turret
even for a short period, she would be in
danger of being struck. Surprising she
gets near enough, however. to launch her
torpedo successfully, she would very likely
become the prey of surrounding vessels.
which would be eager for revenge. How
ever, the chance would be worth 1t, and
there would be no difficulty in finding
crews for such boats. The destruction of
battleship at no greater cost than that
of a submarine boat and a small crew
would be distinct gain. Let me add that
the greater the opportunity for distinction
on these dangerous boats makes them de-
sirable billets in the minds of most of our
younger officers. New York Sun.
