Chicago, May 23.—A stampede of shorts advanced the price of corn for May delivery precisely 6 cents a bushel. It was current gossip that the May option is practically “cor- nered” by a few prominent traders. A desire to avoid possibly greater loss than already incurred was the cause of the urgent demand from those who were on the wrong side of the market. The May delivery opened at 53 cents. The price quickly jumped up to 59 cents a bushel. Realizing sales caused a reaction to 5714 cents. A somewhat similar situation devel- oped in the wheat pit. On an active demand from shorts the price of wheat for May delivery was forced up 4 cents a bushel. Much of the gain was subsequently lost on profit taking. May wheat opened at 99 cents. After advancing to $1.03 the price dropped | to $1.01%. After the early bulge the market quicted down considerably. Under continued profit taking the price of May corn sold off to 56% cents. The wheat market also lost much of its bullishness.” Final quotations on May wheat were at $1.01, a net advance for the day of 3 cents. May corn closed at 567% cents, a gain of 4% cents. CATTLE RUSTLERS ACTIVE. Reaping a Rich Harvest on Ceded Rosebud Lands. Sioux Falls, 8. D.,, May 23.—Daring bands’ of cattle and horse “rustlers” are reaping a rich harvest. making frequent raids on the hundreds of set- tlers who recently occupicd the ceded lands of the Rosebud Indian reserva- tion. Not even the caitle and horses belonging to Eastern society belles who are “holding down claims” in the ceded lands are safe from the raids of the outlaws. 5 Ttecently the “rustlers” have be- come very bold in their operatioms, making many of their raids in broad daylight and in proximity to the cities. The “rustlers,” whose depredations are at present proving costly to the settlers on the ceded Rosebud lands, appear to have selected the country in the vicinity of Burke, one of the new towns, as their principal field of op- erations. NORTHWESTERN STOCKS HIT. Bad Break in Prices of Great Northern and Northern Pacific. New York, May 23.—There was an abrupt transition in speculative senti- ment on the stock market during the day from considerable strength dur- ing the morning to extreme weakness in the afternoon. The source of the selling was somewhat mysterious, but the deinite abandonment of belief in any successful plan of harmony in the Northwestern railroad situation was given much importance. Such breaks as 7% in Northern Pacific, over 10 points in Great Northern preferred, 4 points in Northwestern and Z points or over in Union Pacific and St. Paul were the immediate evidences of this feeling. MORAL CRUSADERS IN JAIL. Attempt to Close Resort and Are Charged With Arson.
