THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Decided Advances In Wheat md
COrn-Oats Lifciess.


CHICAGO, May 23-wheat opened lower
on partial relief in the drought in tine
Northwest. but grew firm on the sharp
advance of 3-4c at Paris, due TO less
favorable crop prospects Foreigners bought
moderately. and the local talent were good
buyers. There was little increase in out
side trade. Primary receipts were less
than last years; clearances, 100000
bushels About 10000 cash wheat vas
taken here.
Corn today felt the effects of the large
shipping business of Tuesday, over 100000
bushels. 1t was also influenced by very
small country offerings. Prices advanced
almost a cent and closed about 7Sc over
the day previous. Cables were up "A small
fraction. Clearances were almost mil
lion. Today's shipping transactions were
few and small.
Oats were slow and draggy, responding
very poorly TO the advance in wheat and
corn. Tonights prices are 1-4G3-Sc over
Tuesday. while wheat shows an advance
of 5-Sc and corn an advance OF almost a
cent a bushel. One hundred and siXty-nine
cars with 229 for tomorrow. Clearances,
165 coo. Charters here were 100000 bushels.
Weather conditions are very favorable for
this crop.
There was q low opening on provisions,
the weakness in hog market. commission
houses selling moderately. Packers were
the buyers and this demand not only
brought on a reaction but established a
fair advance and the market closed firm.
There was some investment buying of
September ribs Cash trade was fairly
good.

seems not improbable that there will be
good advance in the stock in the near fu-

Yesterdays marke, should be considered
TO have been fairly satisfactory to the hold
ers of securities In the morning there was
a quick advance In Sugar and American
Tobacco, the first on war settlement ru-
mors and the latter for no particular rea-
son that could be assigned. This boom,
which was also felt in other industrials
held the railway stocks up though it did
not create much enthusiasm regarding
them. London was dull, but bought few
stocks on balance and advanced prices on
Americans fractionally on the other side.
Later in the day Sugar declined to around
the opening price and the small gains in
the railway list were for the most part
obliterated. The net result of the day was
an irregular market which, however,
showed more gains than declines The news
OF the day was in general good, though
there was nothing of startling Importance

There was an advance Of 10 points in

advance by the independent refineries. The
action taken in connection with the 5
point advance day or two ago gave point
TO the stories so freely circulated recently
regarding setflepsent of the war. The
version OF the rumor now most in favor is
that efforts are being made and viii likely
be successful TO bring all interests to-

OF dividing territory. II is said that the
trust will be allowed to fix the price on

the same privileges TO the Arbuclles in

night fire was discovered in the
store occupied by A. Moses, dry

of the business block which con-

now, at 1890, the fire is under
control. The Moses store is entire

stock being either consumed or
drenched. Loss for Moses about
$4,000, with $4,000 insurance.

The Famine i'm India.

London, March 5.-The report
that cholera is strengthening it's
deadly hold on famine stricken
India brings the pitiful condition
of that country more than ever
to the public view. About 93,-
100000 persons, for this is the
population Of the districts affect
ed, are sweltering their squSlid
existences away amid pestilence
and misery that show no signs of
abatement. Hundreds of thOus-
ands of pounds in good British
gold, good German marks and
American coin have been thrown
into the country, but Judging
from the latest advIces, all this
charity is merely a drop in the
ocean.

messages are sent over them each
year. There are 10000 miles of
cable on ocean beds, but none of

was sixty .six years old.
This is how the people lived in
1900. Every community was iso
lated from every Other commu
nifty. Nav York was farther re
moved from Philadelphia than
Africa Is now. 1t was New Years
Day before. Boston knew what
had happened in New York on
Christmas day. There were prac.
tlcally no conveniences; people
OF those early days knew nothing
whatever Of conforts. And vet
by the people of those days was
laid the basis of the country
we enjoy to day-a hundred
years later.
An interesting thoughts: What
will the people Of a hundred years
hence think of how we lived in
19OO2
