Detroit Union Station
Is Sweep by Flames

Detroit May 28.- More than fifty
firemen were overcome by smoke
and ten partly conscious foreigners
were dragged to safety from the
flames which swept the basement of
the Union station here last night
and early today.
The fire was one of the most stub
born in the history of Detroit. Its
cause has not been determined, but
it started in a room in the basement
where records were kept. The loss is
estimated at $4,000. The firemen
con9ned the flames to the basement.

GRAIN NOTES.

The Chicago Inter Ocean says:
wheat bulls said last night that they
expected higher prices, based on the
cash demand and prospects of a steady
reduction in stocks from now on. 1t
was the impression among the bears
that any sharp let-up in the cash de-
mand will see a recession in prices.
Corn bulls say they expect an i'm
proved cash demand and further
rally.
"oats traders think there has been
advance enough
Bartlett-Frazier Co. say: Wheat
We are inclined to think that yester-
days advance was overdone and unless
the export demand is brisk we believe
prices will recede
"Corn-Shorts covered so freely yes
terday that we are inclined to look for
a reaction to-day.
"Oats-Market will probably follow the
course of corn
Price Current says: "The growth
condition of winter wheat still continues
generally faovrable, with no indication
of damage to any considerable extent
by freezing. The winter wheat area
is generally covered with snow so that
prospect for the future is excellent
Hundreds of exports indicate that farm
ers are inclined to sell corn and oats
freely in the sections where the ship
ping surplus is large throughout the
northern portions of Iowa, Illinois, In-
diana and Ohio. In other sections there
seems to be a decided disposition among
farmers to hold corn until prospects for
the next crop is assured and that they
will be inclined to feed the corn rather
than to accept very much lower prices. 4"
