urday. At that hour everything was
snug. The next knew was the alarm
of fire and reports of an explosion. We
had nothing that could explode. The
Hurst company dealt in dry goods and
notions.
Maybe a floor fell. creating the i'm
precision of an explosion. There was a
boiler in the cellar. which may have ex-
ploded after the fire reached it. but it
could not have done 50 before. The only
explanation I can give Tor the blaze is
that probably electric wires crossed or
insulation was defective We of
course, lost everything"
Politics IN Department.
Investigation into the causes Of the
FIRE was begun today. the whole city

Business men generally have demanded
action. Though every fireman individ-
ually wofked like a hero. risking his
life nearly every five minutes in rain
OF live sparks and Goals, criticism has
begun of the department.
There has IN the past been too much
politics in the Baltimore fire depart
ment" said an officer of one of the
commercial bodies. I'VE believe this
slused inefficiency. We accuse no one
b-t the political system. All CONNER
cal bodies arc going TO take the matter
up now. and Baltimore politicians are
going to be made to keep their hands
of OF the fire department the police de-
partment. and the public schools"
This movement is likely to become
formidable as soon as order is restored.
Business men have determined to dis
cover how the fire was allowed to get
beyond control when there was appar-
entity no reason for II to do so.

SPECULATIVE GOSSIP

Chicago-There has been more or less
profit taking in May wheat by local longs
on this bulge, with outside commission
houses continuing rather light.
Chicag ago-There is very little May corn
on the market and commission house de-
mand is fair. Scalpers are moderately
bearish, but the market acts as though it
would sell higher.
Chicago-The oats market has been
very quiet and steady SO far. 1t is largely
local There appears to be a good many
for sale at 31% and it will take some good
buying orders to get them through there.
Chicago-There is a pretty good class
of buying going on in wheat. So far the
Patten- Bartlett crowd have led the buy
ing. There is not much stuff for sale.
Chicago-We hear a private Argentine
cable just in contains some bulish news
on wheat. Buying on this has rallied May
to $1.135a.
Chicago-Railroads reporting today ar
rivals for seventy-two hours, the major
portion of which is included in inspection
reported this morning. There is therefore
insufficient data on which to base an es-
innate of today'S inspection.
Chicag ago-Arnlour has been the seller of
wheat this morning and the Northwest
buyer Valentine has sold openly in the
neighborhood of 300, 900 bushels, according
to the pit estimate, and the impression is
now gaining ground that he has sold
quietly through brokers and commission
houses.

unusual radius was the chief cause of a
strong wheat market today. May deliv-
cry advanced 2j4c and closed at the high
est point reached. Corn is up 1s@Ac.
Oats and provisions are unchanged
Wheat
Inspired by good demand wheat open
ed strong, with May up ss@11kc 70 y 45sc,
exhibited extreme cold weather as pre-
vailing in the Northwest and rapidly
spreading across the whole country. The
cold wave made the proba bility of reduced
deliveries of wheat by farmers much
more certain than had been previously ap-
parent. Another factor Influential in pro-
ducing bulge was a cablegram from a
Chicago crop expert now in Argentina.
The cablegram stated that much of the
wheat crop in Argentina been ripened pre-
maturely by frost. From the first tap of
the bell a lively demand was in evidence
from commission houses, but sellers were
few.
In consequence the market steadily
gained in strength Notwithstanding reports
indicating that the long drought in the
winter wheat territory had been broken by
rain or snow. Demand for cash wheat,
both in the Northwest and Southwest,
was greatly improved, and this helped to
create more bullish sentiment in spec
ulative trading. Primary receipts were
also much smaller than for the corre-
spending day year ago. but owing to
wire trouble these statistics were incom
plete. During the latter part of the ses-
sion leader of the bull crowd was a free
seller. The increased offerings found
ready buyers, however, and prices con-
tinued to mount. The market closed at
the highest point of the session, final
quotations on May being at 81. 1419 @1.145s.
The amount on passage. decreased 344,-
600 bushels. Primary receipts (incom-
-plete) were $685. 900, compared with 1,293,-
900 bushels a year ago.
Corn
:, Influenced by the strength of wheat the
tire session. A cold wave, which is ex
pected to decrease the movement from the
farms and also to increase the consump
ton of corn, was factor of perhaps equal
Importance in giving firmness to the mar
ket. May opened unchanged to Ac high
opening range the closing at ASS @45%c.
Local receipts were 1915 cars (three
days, with 10 of contract grade.
Oats
The oats market was Influenced by the
strength in other grains, and by the an
tlclpated increased consumption that
would result from zero weather The vol-
ume of business continued very light. May
opened unchanged at 315sc, sold between
3119c and 315s @31%c and closed at 315sc.
Local receipts, $50 cars.
Provisions
Provisions started strong on smaller re-
ceipts of hogs, but at the advance offer
ings were larger than the buying orders
