O BUYING
BOOSTS QUOTATIONS

Chicago, April 25.-Indications that
European governments were buying
freely both for immediate and future
delivery did much today to bring
about by far the highest prices yet
in the wheat market here. Just be-
fore the close the May option touched
1852, an extreme jump since yester-
day of Ill cents a bushel. The close
was nervous at net gains of 2 to lOa
cents with May at 2.60a to 2.6l and
July at 2.61A to PIG.
Corn and oats as we'll as wheat
went to new high price records. I'm
fishing respectively at advances OF 81
to s cents and II to 20 a "a cents.
Provisions showed q rise Of IL to 81
cents.
Decided broadening out of trading
in the speculative pit accompanied the
upward flight Of wheat prices. "
Assertions that no net increase OF
acreage of spring wheat wou be
achieved in the Dakotas and Minne-
sofa despite the crop shortage In the
domestic winter wheat region contri-
buted a good deal to the furry among
buyers. Heavy rains were said to be
causing serious delay to seeding In the
states named and also in Canada.
Corn was dominated mainly by tho
strength in wheat. Oats developed
independent firmness owing to persist
ent buying on the part Of the houses
with seaboard connections.
Provisions reflected the advances n
grain.

that America will lot ace a shortage

allies. Argentine weather generally
clear and cool. Corn harvesting has
extended and blowing for other grain
is progressing and it is probable that
there will be a liberal xtensio in

becoming spring like and reports from
agricultural sections not tiattering.
Modest yields expected. Next seasons
needs will be large notwithstanding
retrenchment.
allies governments buy futures of
wheat and oats as they have been
credited with the last three days, the
surplus is readily absorbed. They can
we'll afford to pay the big premiums
for cash wheat as they exchange them
for futures which show large profits.
The giving up of oat futures in X
change for the cash grain yesterday
was said to have been very large. A
revival of the oat trade has come at
last. For the last two days large
buying has been a feature and the
opening of lake navigation has en-
abled large shipments. A disturbed
short interest combined with advances
in other grains started a rush of buy
ing yesterday that made it more in
teresting for the bulls.
The advance necessitated a cutting
down Of the cash premium for stand
ards of IL 1-2 cents. Withdrawals
from store Tuesday were $780, 900
bushels. Standards and cancellations
100000 bushels.

the life Of each one of the passengers
was a story.

AA10 O1 NlHS
Take Miss N. Gerkach for instance:
Years ago several Petrograd high Of
ficials were wounded in q bomb acct
dent. The police could not find the
bomb thrower. But they knew that the
Gerkach household prosperous though
1t was, more than once had been the
refuge of a terrorist.
They determined to make M of its
members an example. Miss Gerkach
was taken. 1t was eve years before
she escaped from Siberia. She has
sian colony In New York city.
There was a great scene at the
Minneapolis Great Northern station
yesterday morning when the train
load of exiles arrived there. There
were tears and laughter n h en-
braces of Russian eXiles whose last
memories of each other were coupled
There were cries Of GLORY for the
Revolution" But mostly there were
huzzas for Long live the Republic
of Russia"
The occasion was the brief five min
utes that the special train stopped so
that Minneapolis brothers and sisters
of the cause might greet them.
Although a telephone call 25 min
utes in advance of the arrival i'll
Minneapolis was the only notice the
Minneapolis Russian exiles had, there
were a dozen Of them at the station.
There was time enough for the Min
neapolis friends to buy bouquets Of
red roses and red carnations. At the
station there was time enough for the
trainload to step out on the platform
and for the Minneapolis Russians to
greet them.
Mrs. G. A. Nedoff, 554 Sixth avenue
north. started down the platform.
There was a cry of "kistra" and she
was in the arms of a woman she had
not seen since Siberia. Together they
had been exiled. Separately, they had
escaped.
Mrs. NJ. B.. verin, 1928 Knox ave
nue. north. saw Nicholas Gore.
Gore and she for years were exiles
at Irkutsk.
Gore, who has been several years in
New York city, was exuberant with
the prospect of returning home.
America has been kind to me-" he
said. I'VE nave had the glory of lib
erty here. But we must return. We
offered all we had for a free Russia.
The Russia that was, we will forget.
Long life to the Russian republic"
The tickets Of each individual and
the pocket money they are spending
were furnished by the country that
had one tim sent them manacled to
Siberia, whence they were later to
flee in terrified escape.
Not "a penny of the cost of any of
the passengers, including 10 children,
was paid by them. Each was given
$25 pin money" at the outset. From
Seattle they will go to Vancouver,
from there to Yokohama. Japan,
thence to ~Vladivostok, Siberia, and by
rail home.
The train had a dining car and
Pullmans. There were %obseuuious col
ored porters. The rev%olutionists were
travelling in style.
A. E. Georgian. Mr.. Nedoff, Peter S.
Petrushin n Mrs. NJ. Melousoff
were other Minneapolis exiles who
were at the station to God speed the
homegoers. I'VE could have had a
here, had we known a little
earlier" said Mr.. Georgian.

F. SCENE AT
DEPOT LAST NIGHT
First Special Train Carrying
Load of Anarchists, Social
lists and Others Arrives.

The downfall of the Romanofs and
the upheaval which has resulted in
the new government Of Russia
brought a happy party of political ex-
lies, many of whom had spent years
in Siberian prisons and mines, %

lies. with II children in the party,
which arrived here at 6:lO on a spe-
cial train on their return as free men
to Russia The train stopped here for
changed and the passengers were CIV
en- a chance to walk around on the
platform.
Since the great Russian upheaval
which resulted in the unseating OF
the czar from the throne, h new
government has offered complete
freedom to political eXiles and is pay
ing the transportation of those who
are at present in the United States
back to Russia.
More Trains to Follow.
The train which arrived in Grand
Forks - is only one Of several of
the same Kind which are to follow
from time to time. 1t is estimated. ac-
cording. to members of the party IL
this city last evening, that at least
between 1000 and 5000 Russian po-
litical exiles will leave New York on
May 2 and will be followed by a
third on May 8.
Anarchists, socialists and interna-
tionalists composed the picturesque
party Of happy eXiles. Michael S.
Mirnoff, who escaped eight years ago
from a Siberian prison camp, after
serving four years, was one of the
striking figures Of the party. He
claims to be an anarchist. having been
editor of such q newspaper in New
York city since coming to this
try.
ID ~ Some to Join Army.
According to Mirnoff. the exiles be-
lieve that the new government will
bring better conditions and happiness
to the common peoples of Russia. A
minority of the members of the party
Of exiles who are going home will
Join the Russia army, but most of
them will work against militarism and
for ar International and lasting peace.
He declared that his people were all
bitterly against the German kaiser
and government, but that they were
very sympathetic to the German mass
q Is a whole.
Alexander Kovalesky, editor Of The
World, and Nicholas Loseff and Miss
N. Gerkach were others of the prom
inent exiles on board the train, and
