CHICAGO. February 2O.-Scarcity of
contract grades of wheat at Liverpool
lifted prices today in Chicago. An Argen-
tine cable had considerable influence in
this connection, stating that although

last year. Opening prices were &c to Nc
higher. May started at 1OOZ to 1OON, a
gain of &c to 1sc. but reacted to 1OO1a
In the corn crowd there was about an
even division of sentiment. Spring like
weather acted an offset for sympathy
with wheat strength. May opened un-
changed to 1saA up, at CTS to 671aa67As

Oats followed corn. A fair amount of
activity prevailed. May started a shade

Bill Ridley, the Senegambian porter

stopping flying scrub brush with his
dome and carrying a decorative lump
on his sconce the size of a baseball,
yesterday afternoon, when an irate
clerk in the office picked up Bills i'm

Just as the porter dashed through the
door into the lobby Of the Safety build
ing, the scrub brush landed against
the heavy plate glass partition separ,
at1ng the power company's offices from

followed which brought people run

a valuable one, and some one will in
