a reduction OF the Portugal grain duty
The oullish feeling was greatly Increased
by interviews regarding the European
situation by a prominent Chicago trader
who has been travelling through Europe,
in which he confirmed the reports OF a.
most unprecedentiy small stocks and SAID
that Europe was dependent on the United
States for her supplies.
Opening prices Tor Nay wheat ranged
from S9A TO LEO compared with yester-
Gay 5 clOSe of s93s Qsgia.
There was a perfect rush of shorts for
cover at once, but as was the case yes
terday almost no wheat was offered for
sale. Inside of 10 minutes bids had been
raised TO 1Oli2. This was above call price
and for the first time wheat came on the
market in considerable quantities mostly
offerings against these privileges. Though
everything offered was taken. prices sag

had been intense died down to a certain
extent 1t was evident the trade was
thoroughly alarmed over the apparently
unshakeable hold Joseph Letter has on

that he has contracted for the moving OF
1.5OO coo bushels of his wheat to the sea

fact seemed to be the only factor in trad

to the news OF the blowing NJ of the

colorless- Liverpool was ssGi5sd higher at

ports amounted TO 100000 bushels. For
some time the market fiuctuated ner-

but about noon it commenced to advance
again and on this advance outsiders made
their influence felt. Traders who have
been heavy sellers here against pur-
chases in New York were forced TO un-

into the market and helped make things
interesting About half an hour from the
close July. which for some time past has
been comparatively neglected jumped into
sudden activity. 1t had previously been

sent prices flying
Most of the July offered was taken by
the Letter brokers' At the close July had
advanced to S9la. May in the meantime

There was another big trade in corn
and the market was strong. sympathy
with wheat and a heavy demand from

Oats were fairly active and irregular

Provisions were active. Heavy re-
ceipts of hogs gave the market weak
start but the heavy advance in grain,
the demand especially from shorts in

KLoNDIKER IN JAIL.
Millionaire STATIONS Protege Is APP
parently a Crank.

Logan, Feb. 16.-Benjamin Caldwell,
the man who represented that he was
backed by Millionaire Stratton of Colo
RADIO to walk to the Klondike. was jailed
last night by the city officers on a
charge Of vagrancy. Caldwell made a
rather favorable impression when ne
entered Logan, which was soon dissi-
pated by his peculiar actions here. He
gives every evidence of being short
on brains. He came into the marshaPs
office yesterday with long story about
a woman named Caldwell, who, he said.
was not Mormon, being imprisoned in
the Logan temple. He claimed TO have
learned this fact from several well
known citizens who, upon being inter-
viewed, denied ever seeing him When
arrested and searched, two letters We're
found upon him, one of which bore I'M
mistakable evidence of a disordered
condition of mind upon the part of the
writer. The supposed card of intro
ductiOn from Stratton was written in
the same hand as the letter, and is very
likely q forgery. He was notified that
he would have to leave town or go to
Jail and accordingly skipped.

BOSTON WOOL MARKET.
Dull Market Makes It Impossible to
Maintain Prices.

Boston. Feb. I6.-The American Wool &
Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow Of the
wool market:
The dullness has become greatly inten-
sifed. The mills, which consume 10000, 900
pounds or more of wool a year. are all
ont of the market and the small con-
Germs very naturally could not make a
demand sufficient to keep the volume of
transactions at the figures which were
reported a few weeks ago. The mills are
now busy grinding up ante-tarin wool in
order as one manufacturer says. to save
the interest on it. IN other words. the
mills are showing a fair profit on their
goods today because they are making
them from free wool Some of them have
already obtained three months orders
and some have got enough to keep them
running until the end of August
On a market as dun as the present. il
is. of course. impossible TO maintain
prices all along the line.
The sales Of the week amount to 10S6-
200 pounds domestic and S6S $50 pounds
foreign. making total of 2674.4s0. against
a total of 3.115,O00 pounds for the previous
week.
