old or too dignified to join in the pas
time. We have 1t on the authority Of
General Greene that On one occasion
Washington danced for three hours
without once sitting down. Patrick
Henry would close the doors OF his of
Zee to betake himself TO dancing or
fddling, and Jefferson dearly loved to
''rosin" his bow for merry Jig. The
story is told Of him that once when
away from home he received news OF
the burning Of his fathers house.

CHICAGO GRAIN
AND PROVISIONS
BY Associated Press.

Chicago. April 13.-Buying orders
pouring into the wheat pit today made
prices leap up d cent at time. The
biggest advance was in the May wheat
option but the rise in other futures also
was of a sensational sort. Profit taking
by lucky holders gave prices sudden
setback though, and put the trade gen.
orally under heavy strain. One firm
suspended business altogether.
Opening figures for May delivery were
at 31.063a to 81 071a. rise OF ss@34 to
1Ss to nc over last night. Then the
price climbed with surprising nimbleness
to S1.10, quickly dropped to $1.O7 and
later steadied to some extent at $1.0S.
The usual speculative feature, July,
started 14@2s up at s1.04A to s1.o3b,
rose to S1.06is and reacted to s1.o5A.
Corn trade vas comparatively light
but prices went sharply higher with
wheat. July opened the same as last
night to $Q19c up at 77R to 1874 q Sc,
and advanced to 79A@asc.
deluge OF orders to buy oats carried
that cereal higher. Sellers were scarce.
July started q to &c higher at So to
BOSS and touched 5514.
Provisions participated in the general
