The Fzlrest Scene.

We suffer Ills that we may gaze
On wondrous scenes in other lands:
The lofty peak that, wreathed In haze,
Our wonder and delight commands:
The stored valley with its vines,
The battered wallis, the columns vast
The frowning fcrtresses, the shrnes
And buried cities OF the past;
But far more splendid and more fair
Than any snowy peak may be
And more inspiring than the rare
Old ruins lying Ger the sea
Are those rich fields an green and gold
That lie SO near and spread SO far.
Wherein at harvest time is told
How great our country's blessings aye.

caused strength today in the local mar
kott, the final quotations on the May
delivery being up %@1ac,. Corn was
up &c, Oats were Hc higher Pro-
visions were 5c to l5c lower.
The advance in wheat came after
the May option had established a new
low record mark for the season by
selling Mt 743sc. The low mark was
reached within few minutes after the
opening on selling based upon eX
tremely bearish reports from sew
eral experts regarding the present con con
cline at Liverpool aided the opening
decline. a sharp advance in corn and
oats, however, soon caused more ac-
tive demand for wheat. and resulted in
a fair rally.
The feeling developed into decided
strength late in the day because Of
numerous advices from the Southwest
telling of damage by the "green bug
and unreasonable hot weather. Shorts
were the principal buyers during the
last hour. The market closed strong

Lower prices for corn at Liverpool
caused an easier feeling in the corn
market at the opening. but this was
soon dispclled by an active demand for
commission houses. The buying was
based upon the small stock of contract
corn in Chicago and throughout the
State. The market closed strong
May corn opened shade lower, at
