CHICAGO MARKET
Prices and Prospects of the Trade in
Cereals

CTIICAO, April 22.-An excited Liverpool
wheat market, with the May future there
up equal to about 4Ac bushel, started this
market today on monetary rampage. The
actual Inauguration of warlike measures
looking to the reduction of Havana, was
the impelling cause of the excitement al
Liverpool, and the opening burst OF buy
ing enthusiasm here. The elements Of an
excited bulge in Chicago were lacking
however, as the heavy local short sellers
had covered on the previous days advance
and on the opening advance OF 1a@Bc IN
Juy they were ere ready to put out
a range of from S95sd90c.
Most of the trade was at the lower fig
ures, and only a few succeeded in getting
80 cents. The decline that ats1 followed ca car.
proved the rallying point for fresh ad-
vance. New York reported that all offers
cabled the other side the night before were
accepted. The demand from country. mill
ers for No. l northern spring wheat was
urgent, at &c over the price paid here yes
terday, but Letters broker in the sample
market refused all bids. Spot wheat at
Liverpool closed I'd. higher for California
hy brokers were persistent sellers of Sep
tember and December, presumably on fine
crop prospects and on the advance in ocean
rates, and the crowd began to believe that
war was bound to affect grain prices on this
side adversely. They accordingly sold Ju.
ly. which declined to SSAc, closing at $3.50
SSisc. May, opened 1c higher, at 1.13, ad
vanced to and closed at 1.141a.
An active business was done in corn
Firmness at Liverpool and large exports
held the market for time, but the advance
was lost near the end. July closed un-
changed from yesterday.
Oats covered narrow margin, but held
firm, closing unchanged
Provisions acted similarly to the grain
markets. The opening prices were the
highest of the day, at slight advance on
yesterdays closing prices. The final prices
today were at the following losses, COM
pared with those of the day before: July

prices appears, and the production con-
tnues practically unchanged at the high
est point ever known, although in eastern
markets the output is considered somewhat
in excess of the supply.
Copper is stronger, with a heavy damand
for consumption. In woolens, the heavy
cancellations already reported prove to be
in large measure requests for deferred de-
liveries, but a BETTE demand has been
seen during the past week in some quar-
ters, on account of large government or
ders.
Failures for the week have been 2O4 in
the United States, against 21S last year

ON CHANGE
Conditions as Shown by Transactions
on Wall Street

NEW YORK. April 22.-when New York
operators in securities got down to Wall
street this morning they found cable re-
ports from London indicating a somewhat
foverish activity In the speculation In
Americans, with a tendency to rebound
from yesterdays depression. Gable. in
quiries from the other side indicated an
eager anxiety there to know what tack
Wall street would take. This was suffi-
cient to admonsh the bears who sold In
yesterday afternoons slump to cover their
contracts. The covering of the shorts was
coupled with some buying for London ac-
count. The result was very sharp ad-
vances all around. This advance was al
most lost at one time during the morning,
but late in the afternoon the buying was
renewed, carrying prices to the highest
point of the day, with only slight reac-
ton at the close. The net results show
rather more than half of yesterdays losses
retrieved. The market was highly specu-
lative all day, and the favorite stocks were
the highly volatile specialttes, such as To-
bacco, which was exceedingly erratic all
day, and very active, and Sugar In the
railroad list the Changers and the 1nterna-
tionals led in the trading. The condition of
the worlds money markets had salient
effect on the security market. The main
spring of the money markets action was
the increased demands of banks in the in
terror for funds, Chicago exchange on New
York rising to par. This had the effect OF
relaxing the New York demand on London
for gold, and as a consequence no gold
was engaged for import today. There was
u curious story current in Wall street that
some of the operators in American stocks
had been buying Spanish bonds as a hedge,
the Spanish bonds would go up. as in the
case of a Spanish naval victory. In the
expected event of early American success,
the profits on Americans, 1t was argued.
would more than wipe out the loss on the
Spanish bonds.

heavy preponderance of exports con-
tinues to be the feature OF our foreign
trade statistics. The total exports, accord
ing to Bradstreets, for the month of March
, were valued at SIP SIT 1863, which represents
an increase of over s25,5OO,C COO as compared
with the corresponding month last. year.
The imports. on the other hand, were val
ued at SCI ,507 437, which was a decrease of
over $14 100000 as compared with March,
1897 The dutiable exceeded the duty free
imports in March by over $1,000 900, where
as in the corresponding month last year,
the non-dutiable exceeded the dutiable i'm
ports by over So, 500 900. In both months the
exports showed an excess over the i'm
ports, but the excess last month amounted
to over $4,000 900. whereas in March, 1897,
the excess amounted to only little over
$10,90O,000 For the nine months of the
fiscal year ending with March, the total
exports were valued at 1926. .l61 1888. which
represents an. excess of over $103, 500, 900 as
compared with the corresponding period of
last year. The imports. on the other hand,
were valued at $455, ,199 $40, which was de-
crease of over $43, 900 as compared with
the first three quarters OF the last fiscal
year. The dutiable exceeded the non-du-
table imports in value by a little over
$T,50000 whereas in the corresponding
month of last year the non-dutiable ex-
ceeded the dutiable imports in value by
over. T.4O0,oo0. so that the. relative pro-
portions of the two classes Of imports have
been nearly reversed. The excess of ex-
ports over imports for the nine months
amounted to $470,691 $685. which was an in
crease of over $147 800 900, as compared with
the corresponding period of the last fiscal
year. AS will be seen by comparing the
figures of exports and imports given
above, the exports for the portion of the
fiscal year which has elapsed more than
doubled the imports in value

OFFICE OF THE HERALD,
Los Angeles, April %, 1898.
"Too much rest Is rust"

The comparative statement of resources
and liabilities OF the Los Angeles clearing
house banks showing their condition as OF
April s, 1897; December 10. 1897. and April
IA, 1898, has been furnished to The Herald
by the courtesy of Mr.. j. f. Towel, Sec
retary of the Clearing House association
and will be found below.
The figures are arranged for the first
time in an official statement, in such a
way as to show the actual surplus of re-
sources over liabilities to depostors, which
Is the information that the outside pub
lie most desires. The obligations of q
bank to its stockholders is a matter of in
tercst to those stockholders only, but the
depositors arc vastly more numerous, and
besides have different interests, as they
have not invested in n bank for the pur-
pose OF making profit, but simply have
placed their funds in the Golfers of the in
stitution for safe keeping and expect to
be able to draw such deposits out at any
time.
The showing made herewith is therefore
not only timely, but is extremely gratify-
ing as showing the growth Of public con-
fidence in local institutions.
The resources of the banks have in
creased in one year by the amount Of two
and a half millions of dollars.
The banks have available cash to the ex-
tent of fifty per cent of their cash liabil-
itlSo, WHcIcdS tWcHty-iiNS per CtIlt IL COlI-
sidered an ample reserve in ordinary
times.
Furthermore the banks show an ag-
gregate surplus over all liabilities to de-
positors and others outside of their own
stockholders of upwards of four million
dollars.
The growth of deposits from s6.72s, ,5s3. "A
last April to $500, .O5 on the 14th inst. is
another specially gratifying fact.
For the information of those not famil-
lar with the subject it may be stated that
the savings banks have nothing to do with
the clearing house banks, which are en-
tirely commercial in character.
The showing made by the savings banks
Is also satisfactory in the highest degree.

NOT A NEW NAME.
There Have Been Many DE Rouge
monts in Literature.

The publication Of the incredible ad-
ventures of the person calling himself
Louis de Rougemont' recalls the inter-
esting fact that other men in the past
with the same surname have achieved
success in literature. The first known au-
thor I'm the world OF letters with the now
famous surname was Francois de Rouge
mont. the Jesuit who was born i'm 1921.
Father de Rougemont was a missionary
i'm India and China, and was Il prisoner
for several years I'm Picking and Canton.
The Emperor Of China afterward par
doned him. and he continued his mis-
slonary labors until his death, In l5'5.
There were two de ROugemOnts in Paris
ian literary circles during the nrst
French Revolution. Ignace de Rougemont
VAS a friend of the early RevOlutiOnists,
and wrote many speeches for the poll
ticians of those stormy times The other'
Seguin de RougemOnt. was also a Nlo-
lent writer. and his duels with and hDeis
on now forgotten author OF the name
of Rayer created considerable merriment
in the capital OF the new republic. Joseph
Claude ROugemont was celebrated med-
zeal man in the latter part OF the eigh-
teenth century. He was born on the Isle
of ST. Dominique. but studied his pro-
fessiCn in Paris
The next important literary parsonage
with the same surname was BalNson de
Rougemont. the dramatst. who wrote
many plays IN the early part or TINS CEN
tury. including one called Robinson on
His Island" published in 1871, ana found
ed on Defoe's popular novel He was to
some extent an impOster, and wrote ana
published pamphlets describing his BRAY
erv at military encounters which never
took place. The most voluminous writer
with the same surname was FREDERICK
de RougcmOnt who resided principaliy
at Neuchatel. He began his literary ca
reer with a three-volume work on Inc
Primitive People; Their Relgioh, History
and Civilization" which was puDllshed al
Geneva during the years 800 ana lsoI lie
also wrote a History Of Astronomy ana
Its Relation With Religion. published
at Paris in 1865, and a work on THE
Bronze Age" published in 1866. and trans
lated into German in 1863. HIS volume on
"The Man and the Monkey or. Modern
Materialism." published az Neuchatel In
1863. created some controversy at the
time. and he frequently lectured on the
subject OF THE Primitive Man. FREEZER
lex de Rougemont wrote several other
books on geography, philosophy ana re-
ligion. and contributed 10 various perior-
icals and reviews. While the present al
venturer was. or pretends thar ne was
sojourning in Darkest Australia gen.
nine Louis de Rougemont was making
bid for literary fame I'm Paris This was
IN 1869. His work was a Treatise on Vir-
ginity. According TO the Scriptures, Coun-
ellis and Fathers" The work was by no

Rougemont disappeared entirely from the
literary world. "A Wasted Life" was the

assigned cause. The results We're dlsas-
trous or happy according to the point OF
view. for Within a year 1909 couples
agreed 10 part I'm Paris alone. and within
short time there were actually more
divorces than marriages every year.
IL is interesting 90 speculate how many
sO-cailed happy unions would be dissolved
in England II such a sweeping change
were introduced into our laws. The adj
vantage OF this system was that a man
might remarry his wife II "a penitent mood

that many couples We're married and
divorced several times before they finally
made up their minds.
