CHICAGO, Aug. 27.-The corn pit was
the center Of attraction today and prices
on that cereal made an appreciate ad-

December wheat closed &c higher. Oats
were 124c higher, but provisions closed
unchanged TO 7lzc lower.
- Lower cables combined with bearish
reports Of the enormous Russian crop
caused a weak opening in wheat. \
rush Of selling orders during the first
Few minutes Of trading carried prices
below yesterdays closing figures, but this
sharp advance in corn helped bring about
a rally. The market was dull after the
opening pressure to sell, which fact was
partly responsible for the slight advance.
December opened unchanged to &c lower
at 1l12c to U9sc, and under heavy selling
dropped 10 Use, rallied 10 T214c. the
high point The close was strong and

receipts were !, 231 coo bu. Receipts at
Minneapolis and Duluth were S14 cars
against 3y9 last week and IA a year ago
while local receipts We're 223 cars, with Is
contract.
Corn opened easier, but strong local
buying set in, and the market advanced
rapidly and sharply. Hot weather in
the Southwest caused some apprehension
and was partly responsible for the ad-
vance. Fair buying orders from outsid-
erS were also factors in frightening
shorts, and the result was one of the
best buying markets witnessed for more
than week. December opened Lake
lower at 55Ssc to 551@c, and influenced by
liquidation prices receded to 55i4e, then
advanced rapidly to the TOP at 572sc The
close was slightly below high mark at
5IAd517sc, a. gain Of 15sd1Ac Receipts
were ABB cars. 9 Of contract grade.
Oats opened quiet and steady. Buying
by outsiders caused shorts to hastily take
cover. and a rally set in and carried
prices from &c TO &c higher. The corn
advance, however was the main bull
factor. Prices were well maintained
throughout the session, although trading
was rather quiet during the latter part
of the day December ranged. between

The car was attached to the regular
eaSt-bound train due to arrive in Mis-
souIa at $3.50 a. m. Shortly after leav-
ing Plains, the car was discovered to be
on fire in the sleeper apartment and be-
fore the alarm could be given the whole
car was in flames. Most of the company
escaped without injury. and these stood
guard at the doors of the car and seized
the unfortunateS whose night clothes
were burning as they ran from their
oerths and rolled them in blankets
One man, craZed with pain, enveToped in
door, ran and jumped into the river
from which he was with difficulty res
cued. When the fire was discovered the
train was stopped, and by hard work the

GRAIN IN ARGENTINE.
American Crop Expert Makes Report
of Conditions There-

Chicago. March 16.-B. f. Snow, crop
expert of the Orange Judd Farmer, re-
turned to Chicago today after a six
months trip through the Argentine re
public, where he went to investigat
the crop conditions prevailing in thar
country. According to Mr.. Snow CO
dittons of soil ord climate - tre eot
American republic make possible the
raising of grain superior tc any output
the United States enjoys.
In the raising of wheat" said Mr.
Snow today, conditions gradually are
becoming almost Identical with those
of this country. At present wheat is
grown in Argentine over an extent of
country covering as many conditions
of soil and climate as exist here The
wheat district now extends fully 1000
miles north and south. and 200 miles
east and west. This furnishes such a
variety of soil and climate that there
never is a complete crop failure or a
perfect crop in all places. a condition
which in=ures more uniformity in the
production of the country"

FUTILE ATTEMPT TO
ESCAPE FROM PRISON

Lincoln, Neb., March 16.-OnIy the
presence of the Nebraska militiamen
on guard at the state penitentiary pre-
vented the escape Of twelve convicts
from that institution. Mounting from
the floor of the cell house to the top
of the roof through ventilator flue,
after first saving through an iron
grating and big iron bars at the lower
end, the twelve prisoners looked over
the top edge of the front wall down to
the road below only to see four vigil
liant guardsmen patrolling ceaseleSsly
along the front of the building. Though
the criminals had rope ample to lower
them to the ground they dared not
risk meeting with the militiamen and
cowed from the accomplishment of
their purpose, they huddled down to-
gether in the great drain trough along
the edge of the roof just behind the
abutting wall and lay there shivering,
some without shoes, others only IN their
underclothing, till they were discovered
by Deputy Warden Bowers in the
morning and marched down to dark
dungeons below.
The cell from which the attempt was
made is the only portion of the pen
itentiary which was not destroyed in
the fire of two weeks ago. It is sup
fitted with cells or any prison equip
ment, having never before been used.
The men, 2S5 in number, are herded
there in bunch at night and sleep on
improvised wooden hunks. These are
ranged along the wall in which is the
mouth Of the ventilatOr and screened
the men in their work which they have
been carrying on at night ever since
the fire, and intended to eliminate last
night.
The ventilators are of stone and run
straight up through the solid outside
wall, being eighteen inches square on
the inside. The convicts, equipped with
a plumbers metal saw, two cold chisels
two sledgeS, files and a dagger. their
possession of which is unexplained
cut through the heavy iron grating
over the fiue opening and then through
steel bars farther up. The men TOOK
a quantity of rope from the broom fac
tory and worked up forty-five feet to
the top of the ventilator tower. They
dropped to the roof, but feared to face
the soldiers, having supposed that no
watch, or very loose one was kept
