Chicago Feb 4-The wheat market was firm
slowly. but steadily improving Gables we're encour-
aging. and there was little wheat for sale Brad
streets visible WAS considered hullish and the de-
cided strength in coarse grains had considerable
effect on values. Receipts were small in the West
and this with the reports 81 hardening values for
cash wheat and decreasing offerings, tended to in
crease the growing confidence in the market Export
demand less active although some business was
reported during the day
The corn market was active and. strong advancing
easily. showing gains of about &c a bushel from the
low points. Shorts were good BUYERS and there was
heavy buying by commission houses while there we're
reports OF good buying by bull interests. Receipts
were lighter and small offerings were reported from
the country, while the weather conditions were IN
favorable IN the Southwest for moving grain.
Trade in hog products was active all day. There
were a break % iow levels early on the gov
eminent report Of the number Of hogs in the eouu-
tTy. but later there rapid recovery with active
covering Of shorts and marked decrease in the sell

UNABLE TO REACH VERDICT.
Jury in Warren Murder Case Locked
I'D for the Night.

After celebrating for eight hours, the
jury in Criminal Court No. !, in the case
Of Nicholas \. Warren. colored. charged
with murder, first degree, az 10 o'clock
last night was locked in their room, hav-
ing failed TO arrive at a verdict The
case was given 10 the jury at o'clock.
According 10 the testimony. Warren
was beaten by another colored man
named Adam Lawson in June last. and
after the fight threatened 10 get even.
They met several days later, and a fight
ensued, in the course OF which Lawson
was wounded several times in the abdo-
men by a razor. said TO have been used
by Warren, from the effects Of which he
died
1t is understood the jury's elaboration
is due to the fact that it is unable to
reach q CONCLUSION as 10 whether the
verdict should be murder, first degree, or
manslaughter.
