FILLS HIS PULPIT

Chica 90, March 5--Parishioners or
the Rev. o. F. Jordan of the Evanston
Christian church were somewhat sur
prised last night to see the minister
in the front row of seats while his
wife occupied the pulpit. Mrs. Jordan
conducted the services and preached
The sermon and according to those
present made a good substitute for her
husband. 1t was explained that Rev.
Mr.. Jordan had been uncommonly
busy during the wee!: and after his
Sunday morning sermon was so hoarse
and indisnosed he feared he would
have to dismiss his congregation that
night. Thereupon Mrs. Jordan volun-
teered to take his place and he accept
I'd her offer.

Grain Review

Chicago, March 5,-Althou6h the de-
feat Of the ship arming bill had de-
pressing influence today on wheat val
ues, the market soon recovered and lat
er scored material advance. Leading
houses took advantage of the tran
silent weakness and were active buyers
apparently on the basis that European
needs ware so urgent there could be no
lack Of demand for all the wheat avail
able. Bullish crop conditions shown by
the Ohio state report tended also 10 hlt
the market. Opening prices which rang
ed from the same as Saturdays fintsh
to 1ssc lower with May at 1S7M to l..
SIN and July at 1853 to 1859 were iol-
lowed by a moderate general setback
and then sharp upturn.
Heavy Seaboard clearanceS and lnol-
cations Of new foreign buying heipeo
the advance, but the smallness OF de
crease OF the United States visible sup
ply total led afterwards to reaction.
The close was unsettled, Hc to 1c net
lower; with May at Sissy to S1.sss
and July at $1.5sA to $1.5S1a.
Corn duplicated the action Of wheat.
The strength Of the hog market count
ed as a bullish factor and the result
was lump to new high record prices.
After opening hc to NC down. the
market underwent further sag, but
then made a decided ascent.
At times. buying operations were on
a huge scale. Nevertheless the upturns
were not held when wheat suffered a
setback in the late dealings. The close
was nervous at &c to 7s@1c net de-
cline.
Oats displayed independent strength.
Reports OF pressing call for oats In
Canada put the market here upgrade:
Big advances in hog quotations made
provisions soar. The most active call
was for lard
