Speculative Gossip.

Chicago, March 27.-To use the
words of a wheat trader in describing
yesterdays markets, there was an
urgency on the part of the buyers and
a reluctancy among the sellers. Gov
ering by shorts was responsible for
yesterdays bulge. Bulls made the
point that conditions are working
more favorable for Of all
grains on break, while the bears look
ed Upon the trade as entirely local as
the floods have cut off outside bust
ness from the east and storms check
ed speculation from other sections. At
present few want to trade. 1t was
claimed by a few traders that the
crowd was mostly long on wheat and
coarse grains at the close. Country
shippers are buying back corr sold to

CONDITIONS IN
PERU, Ind.

Peru, Ind,. March 27.-Several
thousand persons were still marooned
in the courthouse, hospital, factory
buildings, and other structures be
cause the various. relief parties sent
from South Bend, and other cities,
had not sufficient boat to carry them
to the nearest dry land three miles
away; snow was falling heavily and
suffering was intense because OF the
lack Of heating facilities, and the city
was in darkness except for a scant
supply of lanterns. -.
The city had no electric light pow
err and no drinking water supply. The
only communication from Peru today
was maintained over a feeble tele-
phone line. Much food, clothing and
blankets already have arrived there,
but more help is needed.
The difficulty of giving anything
like a list of dead was explained by
the fact that the rescue party devot~
ed the entire day to carrying away
the survivors who had climbed to per-
ilouS positions On icy roofs. Ten men
who had remained for two days on top
Of the tank at the water works. became
panic stricken at the sight of the first
rescue boat. Most of these men fell
into the water in attempting to jump
into the boat, and several of them
were carried away by the turbid wat
err rushing through the street.
A woma min an upper story of a
building on Fifth venue, the main
street Of the city, begged so p~iteous-
ly to be rescued that she was helped
into an already welf-laden boat and
taken ashore.

the dead will be listed or the number
