WHEAT BULLS HIT HARD
NATURE COMPOUNDED GAM
BLERS IN STAFF OF LIFE.
Take Their Losses in Pit, While
Price of the Staple Con-
tinues to Sag.

CHICAGO, May 27.-Following yester-
days sensa tional declines in September
and May wheat the market was violent
today and registered further declines dur
ing the first hour and a half of trading.
The pit fairly seethed. Prices of the same
option varied simultaneously in different
parts Of the pit by cent in September
and a cent and half in May.
May wheat, closing last night at s1.O5
to $1.O5A, fell to $1.O3 as discouraged
longs Of lesser magnitude unloaded and
pocketed their losses. July and Septem-
Der were sold in immense quantities. to
an extent by foreigners. September. clos
ing last night at SO cents, dropped to Ola
a loss since Wednesday Of 5a4c. July sold
at $685. cents as compared with 95A at
the close yesterday, loss Of 81 cents
In two days.
The bulls have been whipped by Old
Mother Nature, as traders put it. Bulls
loaded up with wheat early in the sea-
son when prospects as viewed by them
looked dubious for an adequate world
cropt. But in the United States the rains
descended and the sun shone to such pur-
pose that the gloom was lifted from ap-
parently blighted prospects. Europe pre-
dicted unusual crops, and even far away
India took arms against the bulls with
predictions Of a ecord-breaking harvest.
1t is almost automatic among specu-
lators that the trader who cannot execute
a quick right abou' face in pace with
shifting developments will not last long
in any market. The big bulls in wheat
seem to hold to this rule, having lest
no time in pouring out their holdings
when nature pointed the way.

The market opened steady owing to bet
ter cables than due, with May two po!nls
higher but at a decline of 2a6 points on
the general list under renewal of liqui-
dalton and local bear pressure. TradihS
was quite active and excited right after
the call. and the whole list Quickly
weakened under apprehensions of further
Chicago liquidation, promoted by the sell
ing of houses with western connexions
and the favorable weather map. july
broke to 1870, or 16 points net lower
while the new crop sold off TO net de-
Cline of 6aI points.
Reports that the May notices were being
promptly stopped tended to inspire fresh
confidence in the bull osition, and after
the sharp early break the market ruled
steadier on a renewal of bull support and
covering, with prices at midday showing
net advance Of 6 points on May and loss
of only 2a4 points on later months.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The figures were quoted for the first
time on the bonds of the Colonial
Beach Company at today's meeting OF
the stock exchange. The bid for the
bonds, which pay per cent, was 10
and the asking price LOS.
Some comment was made on the sep
aration Of the two figures. and 1T was
thought they ought to be brought more
closely together. but the broker who
made the bid and also the asking price
said that he had looked into the stand
ing Of the bonds pretty we'll and that
was all he thought they were worth.
At the same time he was not willing TO
offer them on any lower level.
Another hundred shares OF the COM
mon stock of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company sold again TO-DAY
at 50. The stock was sold by one broker
and it was all taken by another. 1t
was still to be had at that price, but
the bid did not rise above 34A.
The bid for gas stock fell OF from
the level Of the bid Of yesterday one
point and an eighth. Today the bid was
50 and the asking price was 7O1a The
recession in the figures for this stock
during the past day or SO is attributed
to the feeling that the prospect Tor
further issue OF securities OF the com
pany is not as bright as 1t was thought
to be some time ago.

COMET REWARDS GAzERS
EXCELLENT VIEW LAST EVEN
ING BETWEEN CLOUD SHIFTS.
Nucleus and Tail Brighter Than
Since Appearance in West
ern Horizon.

Astronomers, both amateur and profess
sional, had one of the best views of Hal
ley's comet last night that has yet been
afforded to Washington and its vicinity.
Heavy clouds obscured the sky over most
of downtown Washington quite early in
the evening. but between sunset and
cloudrise the celestial wanderer appeared
with cameolike ciearness in the south
western sky. In fact, the very blackness
Of the clouds was an aid to the lay OBJ
servers, since the comet and its tail were
outlined more clearly than they have been
on any one of the recent evenings since
its transit of the sun.
According to Edwin Fairfax Naulty,
the New York astronomer, who has been
in Washington ever since Halley's comet
hove into view in the east, the comet was
first visible last night at 500 o'clock; Its
head and tail were clearly defined, the
tail stretching across the Sky TOR run
forty degrees, or almost to Jupiter, AT
sos, and at Sis o'clock the advancing
clouds hid the nucleus from view. Dur
ing the remainder of the evening the tail
was still visible by its diffused light,
through breaks in the clouds. Prof
Naulty described the sight as particular
ly brilliant when the light of the comets
tail was Illuminating the storm clouds in
the west.
DRUMMOND, Md. May "a splendid
on the suburban heights to the northwest
of the District last night. About $50
o'clock it suddenly appeared from behlnd
the clouds, and was observed. with brief
interruptions owing to the shifting clouds,
until 1880. when it was gradually OBJ
scured. The nucleus was very bright.
and the sweep OF the tail was we'll de-
fined against the dark Sky.

CALL MONEY,
PRUSSIAN FRANCHISE FAILS.
Popular Opposition to Bill Causes
Government to Abandon It.

BERLIN. May 27.-The government to-
day abandoned it's efforts to secure the
enactment of the Prussian franchise bill,
popular opposition to which has been ex-
pressed in frequent mass meetings, dur
ing some OF which the protestants have
clashed with the police.
The debate has been long drawn out,
owing to the objections raised in the
lower house to amendments adopted by
the lords.
Chancellor Won Bethmann-Holweg, in
announcing it's decision, said the govern
ment places no further value on the meas
ure, which had lost its effect by giving
the wealthy and middle classes a greater
influence In the elections.
A continuance of the bitter agitation
against the election system, he added, was
most likely to continue until the govern
ment submitted new legislation represent
ing an endeavor to carry out the en-
peror's promise made in the speech from
the throne.
