The general opinion tonight was that
A. j. Lichstern, the millionaire broker,
who has been leading the bull move
r1ent and who is credited with hold
ing most of the May contract wheat in
Chicago. realized upwards of $1,000
600 in the days trading. Bear trad
ers early today saw they would be I'M
able to secure wheat with which to
make deliveries of their contracts. AS
result there was a furious demand
the moment trading began.
In a few minutes the price of May
wheat had been sent skyrocketing
Bears seemed willing to pay any price
rather than settle with Lichstern's
brokers. 1t was impossible to fill the
many orders. Veteran floor traders
declare they had never witnessed such
scenes in twenty-five years. In fifteen
minutes May wheat had jumped to
S11O bushel from s1.057s, last
nights closing.
The movement spread to other
wheat futures and affected the corn
prices. Word was sent round that the
Atlantic seaboard had been secured in
vain for wheat for immediate ship
ment abroad and that the immense re-
serves held in Chicago would have to
be used This was the final blow for
the bears for it was upon this reserve
that they relied to fill their contracts
One firm, G.. E. Clifford & Co.. caught
short gave notice of temporary sus-
pension. So great was the excite
ment that there was a wide variance
in prices quoted among different
groups OF traders on the floor.
New York Stock Market.
UNITED Press Leased Wire Servfcel
NEW YORK, April 13.-Financiai
America in its issue Monday will say:
There was crowding of important
happenings having stock market
influence all through the past week
that made price movements highly
irregular and caused a pronounced
interruption to the upward movement.
The victory of Theodore Roosevelt in
the primary elections in Illinois was
the most important incident in the
first half of the week.
The results of these elections made
the speculative community suddenly
aware of the various uncertainties
that exist In the political outlook 1t
gave the market what the active
spectators called a political chill.
Since March l, numerous issues have
advanced ten to fifteen points and
even with the unsettling influences
prevailing in the past week new high
prices for the movement We're made.
The reaction carried prices of some
of these issues about three points
under their highest range and in
itself should not be regarded as dis
tGurbing 10 speculative accounts.
While the market maintained its
strong tone hopes were freely
expressed that reaction should
occur in order to permit accumulation
of stocks on a more reasonable basis,
but with a reaction at hand these
expressions are forgotten and their
place Is taken by utterances of fears
as to how far the decline may go.

sandbaa Would Produce clot.

The death and generally believed
robbery of the Roumanian is one Just
deep enough, with all its tinting of the
lower and more ignorant element of
humanity, to throw the police off of
what might be any tangible clew.
There are some peculiar features con-
nected with the case that the police
want to see explained before they will
believe that the man was not slugg ed.
They do not consider that he had been
drugged, but this smuggling business
offers many theories. There was a bad
rupture of tissues of the brain, &C
cording to the doctors who perform
ed the autopsy, but the doctors were
of the opinion that this rupture and
the subsequent hemorrhage were due
to diseased condition of the brain
There was no abrasion to show that
the man had been struck in the head,
but the disarranged condition of the
brain was on that side of the head op-
posite to that which was exposed
when the man was on the floor. 1t is
said that a sandbag leaves no ex.
ternal evidence, but that a blow from
it will produce rupture on the side
Of the brain opposite from that on
which a blow is delivered.

The peculiar condolences with
which the police are confronted are
these: Brater arose at about 600
o'clock, apparently In the best of
health. He was not going to work that
day, but quit work in order to forward
a sum said to be $3.50, to wife in his

Senator until after dinner tonight. and
when told about IL declined to make any
comment, intimating that he would have
something to say about II later
Smith has announced his intention OF
supporting the candidates OF the Balti-

that he is playing pretty shrewd
politics for. should Governor Wilson

dashed the Democratic boss whenever an
