CHICAGO LETTER.

Chicago, May 2.-WHEAT:-An old
fashioned bull market with the buying
enthusiasm more prevalent than at any
time in several days.
At one time during the session prices
showed an advance of almost two cents
over yesterdays highest prices. The
buying wave seemed to emanate from
all directions. Southwestern traders
contributed the larger share of it, but
Northwestern shorts also were liberal
buyers. Fortunate bulls who bought
wheat early in the week were about
the only sellers, yet their offerings
were large enough to stem the tide and
cause a natural reaction from the high
prices obtaining at the opening. Liver
pool cables this morning We're excited
and prices upon that exchange quoted
from penny to a penny and a half
higher. The same class OF crop dam
age reports as in the past were in cir
culation. Cash sales rather large; ex-
port demand brisk. The market closed
rather weak after the early bulge.
CORN:-Ruled higher with fair
demand from shorts. The active spec
uiative futures had a range of about
q cent busheI for the day. The May

WE MIGHT EMULATE WHITING.

Whiting is not content with improve
ments that merely improve the value of
their property. OF late the citizens of
the Oil Town have been enthusiastic
to do what they can to make their city
a desirable place to live in, from
standpoint of physical attraction. The
Whiting folks, however, realize that
without decency and morality no place
can be attractive to desirable citizens
They also believe in the ounce of pre-
vention that discounts the pound of
cure and being comparatively near
neighbor to South Chicago and other
wicked places where vice fourishes
comparatively unchecked, it is the aim
of Whiting to keep a close eye upon
its youth. To this end the curfew law
is to be introduced making it mis-
demeanor for any young person under
sixteen years of age to be seen on the
street unchaperoned. If Hammond
would adopt the same rule and enforce
it, it would no doubt work wonders in
the matter of keeping girls and boys
away from places which are not fit for
them to visit.

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York. May 2-Union Pacific was
again the leading feature of the stock
market An advance of four points for
the day was the outcome of the days
transactions. From an opening around
146, 1t advanced slowly but steadily
until the final close showed $50. The
trade was upon a larger scale than
usual Various causes was assigned
for the advance. Renewed talk of a
holding company was heard. but it was
not given serious consideration by
traders in the street. A close friend of
one OF the leading banking houses who
usually finance the Hartman deals is
quoted as saying they have no inten-
ton of backing this holding company.
Furthermore he believes that Harri-
man dose not contemplate any such
plan. One Of the unusual occurrences
of the session was the trade in Union
Pacific preferred. For many months
this issue has been absolutely neg
lected. There have been days at a time
when there would not be a transaction
in the preferred shares recorded. To-
day quite a little activity was dis
played. 1t opened at S81a and sold UP
to So. Nothing definite was given out
to cause the advance and it may be
purely speculative. But if a holding
company should be organized for the
Union Pacific company, the preferred
shares should reap some benefit from
such organization.
Despite the bad crop news and fur
Their reports by experts of crop dam
age, Wall street and traders generally
disregard them. The rise in Union Pa
cific had a beneficial effect throughout
the list and was more or less instru-
mental in causing fair rallies in Atchi-
son, st. Paul, New York Central, Read
ing and Pennsylvania. The copper
shares enjoyed a further boom based
on higher prices for the metal and act

option being the conspicuous feature
owing to the large short interest still
outstanding in that future. The cash
demand shows falling on owing TO
the rapid advance both in cash corn
and the speculative options. exporters
preferring to wait for some recession.
OATS:-Another new high record for
the May option. Shorts in this month
are receiving very severe treatment at
the hands of the leading bull operator,
He practically owns all of the cash
oats and can compel the shorts to pay
fancy prices In order to buy back their
contracts The other months smy-
pathized slightly with the advance.
Cash sales about 10000. The market
closed with a slight decline from the
early high prices

PROBLEM OF WEST
HAMMOND CRAFTSMANSHIP

West Hammond awaits in agitated
expectancy the action of the new board
which will meet for the first time this
evening. on the question OF renewing
the divekeepers' licenses.
The outgoing officials by the mega
tive policy pursued by them in post
poning the action on licenses, have
shown a wise disposition to shift the
responsibility onto the shoulders of
their successors. of matter that
would mean nothing more substantial
than odium for them (the outgoers) no
matter how they voted II they turn

their quitting office. their old friends.

or at least accuse the trustees of act
ing the part Of the dog in the manger.
on the other hand. they would get
small thanks for their belated virtue
from the decent citizens. Had they
voted to renew the licenses they
would have received the condemnation
OF the decent element and their sue
cessors, the enemy, would reap the
graft
In the meantime the new board has
been guarding its attitude on the
question OF the dives as though the
same were a subject too sacred for
publicity. In the meantime. also, the
recently elected trustees have robbed
themselves OF whatever credit might
have been accrued by the rejection Of
tn dlvekeepers' application for licenses.
il the latter are rejected. for nc one
will now believe that such action viii
be taken in any sincerity of purpose.

Despite Wall street reports, the Erie
is in very good condition. Recent in
spections show a splendid state of af-
fairs. so far as the track and equip
ment are concerned, except that more
cars and engines could be used. The
policy of the management is to con-
tinue the expenditures for maintenance
and smaller improvements made neces-
sary by the increasing business Heavy
new construction work has been dis
continued because of money market
conditions. but earnings are up te the
high water mark of last year and it
may be, will show an excess for this
year. The Erie earned over and above
interest, taxes and dividends last year
$4,000, 600 of which 100000 was ex-
pended in improving the property.
