PHILLIPS GAINS in CORN

Market Advances and the Bull Theory
Holds Good.
Chicago, April S-May corn sold at
as1s cents Il bushel on the board of
trade Saturday, the best possible vindi-
cation of the bull theories of Plunger
Phillips.
The price was one-eighth cent higher
than the highest price touched the
preceding Saturday. when the bull
campaign was OH its crest and the
fond hopes of the buyers had not
been shattered, temporarily. by a
stunning bear raid and four-cent
break. The complete recovery from
that break was generally admitted to
prove the strength of the bull posi-
tion, which had grown stronger and
more impregnable during the week.
Almost continuous rains through the
corn belt had kept the roads impas-
sable and restricted marketing of
corn by such farmers as might be
tempted by the advanced price.
But advices from the country, re-
ceived not only by Phillips. but by
other commission men. all point to
the enthusiastic enlistment of the
farmers in the bull campaign. In
stead of selling their corn the farmers
are holding it for 80 cents.

and one was tried and convicted. The
two men who plead guilty were let off

that it should be made a record of the

they had falsely and slanderously spoken

is the air of the big aggregation about
his every glance and movement that

Snowman of the old school. In meth
cd and manner there is a something
about him quite in contrast with
many who have essayed the same
lauda BILE calling. Maj. Burke is now
on the staff of Buffalo Bill, whose
Wild West and Congress of Rough
Riders he is now heralding, and he
can do more in i've minutes to satisfy
the public of his mission and leave u
lasting impression of it than any
dozen ordinary men in his vocation.
He has definite object and
drives IL in, and notwithstanding his
rough and ready nature he is always
a gentleman. one whose own person
ality is bound TO aid the attraction
with which he is identified. Ma.
Burke says that the Buffalo Bill show
is better than ever this year.
Aud what Maj. Burke says goes.
