Features of the Trading and Closing
Prices on Board of Trade.


CHICAGO. Jan. 14.-wheat jumped to-
day TO a point virtually 10 cents bushel
higher than on Monday last. when specu-
lators were tumbling over each other to
sell out because Of wild talk that the
Turks were yielding control of the Oar
danelles and that hostilities by Italy inn
piled speedy end OF the war.
AT the summit May wheat brought to-
day Si.43%, a price not equalled before in
years. The chief reason was that ex-
porters wanted more wheat than they
ing was much unsettled at the close,
which varied from the same as last
night to 2d2lsc above. Corn finished un-
changed TO 1-lSc up, oats at Q gam OF

European needs became so acute today
that finding no wheat available for
porters bought thousands OF barrels Of
flour here, although bakeries have been
threatening to stop for lack of supplies.

Ilington, with the oilskin packet
still in hand, sprang to the edge OF
the veranda and from there into the
street. He gave one look and then
fell back.
"By George, he's right" he shouted
"Iook-look."
Anxiously he turned his gaze down

off. In three minutes he was back

Manuella after him.

safe he took a canvas bag that jingled
with the gold pieces it contained. He
thrust this bag into one hip pocket OF
his trousers, having already secreteo

badly leaking boat and watched Cap

the distance. Hernandez watched her
keenly as she disappeared. Into the
innermost recesses of his mind he
tucked away the fact that she was the
steamer Princess Of New York. Some
day that knowledge would be of use
to him. Hot ashes brushed against
Ilington's cheek; some rested on his
shoulders. He shooK himself like some

The Red Death.
Capt. John Hardin of the Princess
regarded the fast-receding coast line
with unusual alarm. He shouted to

Welcher, the mate, surly, sallow-

cocoa, coffee, sugar cane and cotton
