CHICAGO, March 4.--The wheat market was
extremely strong for the first fifteen minutes

on the part of the shorts, who were appar-
emily thoroughly alarmed by the two cent ad-

were inadequate to the demand. AS a result

point before any Increase in offerings was
noticeable There was no news however, to
inspire any great amount Of buliish enthusi-
asm and the market soon became easier on
realizing sales. During the last hour senti-
ment became decidedly bearish and selling was
general. The weakness was due to some ex-
tent to increase receipts at all primary points,
the arrivals today in southwestern markets
exceeding for the first time in several weeks
those of the corresponding day last year. The
market closed weak at almost the lowest
point May opened A49sc lower to a shade

then declined to 99c. The close was at 9S0
9sbc. Clearanees of wheat and flour We're
equal to 25 800 bushels Primary receipts were
N,000 bushels, compared with 563, 900 bushels
the corresponding day last year. Minneapolis,
Duluth and Chicago reported receipts Of 292
cars, against 1856 cars last week and 1913 cars a
year ago.
The corn market was strong during the
first half of the session. owing to active de-
mand by shorts, the buying being based largely

Provisions were weak throughout the entire

EL0PEMENT UNLIKELY
IN LAUNCH MYSTERY,
Friends Think Couple Drowned
in Egg HarbOr Ray.

ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. THAT the
fishing trip which. it is believed, re-
suited in the drowning of Charles Bate
man., son of Mr.. and Mrs. Amos Bate
man, of Philadelphia, and Miss Clara
Beam, for whose bodies 400 men have
been searching Egg Harbor Bay. was
thought to have been an elopement
until tine launch in which the young
persons left South Atlantic City last
Thursday was found empty off Ocean
City on Sunday, is admitted by close
friends of the supposed victims.
1t is now said that Bateman, who
was 81 years of age, had a wife in
Philadelphia, from whom he was plan
ming to obtain a divorce in order that
he might marry Miss Beam. The close
friendship existing between Bateman
and Miss Beam was commented upon
by members of the cottage colony at
South Atlantic City, where the Bate
mans have a ummer home.
Bateman and Miss Beam took ne
clothing with them but that which they
wore, which they would have lone If
they had planned to elope. The belief
of the boatmen of South Atlantic and
Ocean City is that Bateman was over
taken by the northeast gale that
swlrled up the coast last Thursday
night and persisted with his. fair COM
panion in a desperate attempt TO cross
Egg Harbor inlet.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE cotton

of 20f points OF covering, and better
cables than expected. but quickly turned
easier under local Dear pressure and
scattering liquidation, inspired by
favorable weather in the South and
talk of easier spots in the south At
lantic. The reaction carried prices into
new low grounds for the movement, but
at a net decline of 3M5 points on the
active months there was enough cover
ing to cause a slight rally in the alb
sence of stop orders, and during the
middle of h morning the market was
moderately active and rather unsettled
within a point or two of last nights
finals.
The market was less active late in
the forenoon, but held steady in tone
as a result of scattered covering with
prices at midday abou 3 to 4 points
net higher.
