2 THE_OMAHA DAILY BEE; TUESDAY, MAY 1, 1888, : THE POLAR BEAR PARALYZED Omaha Succeeds in Shutting Out the Minneapolis Boys. IT WAS A MAGNIFICENT GAME, Both Clubs Do Very Fine Work mn Spite of the Cold in the Open- ing Contest For the - Pennant. First Blood for Omaha. The championship scason of 1583 has at 1ast been opened upon the local grounds, The Omaha and Minneapolis teams succeeded in playing their initial game yesterday aftor- noon, and despite the fact that the recent copious rains had left the grounds soft and wunreliable, and that the temperature was of an intensity that rendered heavy oOvercoats and fur collars acceptable, the boys vlayed a magnificent game—a game that is not likely to be duplicated in many a day. The Omahas held a caucus Sunday night and agreed upon a plan to Chicago the artic explorers yester- day. Lovette was in the chair and the ses- sion was held with closed doors and the secret was well kept. The wind was blowing razor-blades when the lumbs from Minneapolis skipped upon the emerald field to indulge in preliminary practice. They were full of hope and frisk- iness. They little suspected that the foxy Omahogs had set a trap for them. But let us see how thay fell in the trap. For six nrn!.im innings the Omahas were retired gracefully without mnkln? a tally, notwithstanding they succeeded in getting men on the bases in the second, third, fourth and sixth innings, and played just as if they ‘were trying to make a run. But they weren’t—that was only part of their scheme to load the unsophisticated Minnesotans on by degrees, and make them think they had a chance to win. Remember, however, they kept killing oft the red-legged heroes from the home of the lar bear as fast us they stepped up to the plate for just as many innings, The visitors seomed in great glee, while the Omahas were lluzhlng in their sleeves. Things were running just as thoy intended. The seventh inning came. This was the moment to spring the trap. Shannon, just to sort of tickle them a bit before the climax, agitated the air three times in succession and went and curled up in his buffalo. Then Doran stepped up, and the first ball Parsons fired at him he smackéd it square om the trade mark for a couple of bags. The audienco bhere warmed up in of tho raw atmosphere, Doran ran down to third ©n a passed ball, and trotted across the plate after Wilson's 1ong fly had settled, in Jevne's hands. Omaha 1, Minneapolis 0. Manager Gooding looked sad, so did his weary men. Again the home team blanked their oppo- nents, and were themselves whitewashed in the eighth. In the ninth, however, O'Connell, who played the whole game like a three- time winner, walked right up to the bat and before Mr. Parsons knew what had happened, the ball went flying over the right field fence, and O’Connell waltzed merrily round the ‘bases and home, amidst an outburst of cheers from the frantic crowd. J The Minneapolis boys were dumbfounded. No matter what they attempted they were foiled by the scheming Omahogs. Two hundred spectators finally buttoned up their overcoats and went home in high spirits, for Captain Shannon and his untamed colts had two runs, while Minneapolis had only an unbroken chain of large and juicy goose eggs. The ofticial score will be found appended. It will give a clearer idea of this model game: OMATIA, A X woocmE Pl Brommnd Buras, If Flynn, rf. Anmis, cf. Miller, ss. O'Connell, 1 Shannon, 2b.

The telephoue has been put in at the grounds. Omaha had no passed balls or wild pithes and only one man struck out, The wholo team playcd like machinery, and their praisos last night were sung on all hunds, Lovett pitched a great eame, besides watching the bases well, and flolding without an error, Thero was no_symptom of a kick. The game was one of the cleaucst and best ever seen on the home grounds, A chunge has been made in the schedule whereby the games announced to be played at St. Louis June %6, 87, 25 and 29 will be played at Omaba. lyun's running one hand cateh from Bros- man’s bat in the fifth inning was i phenomenul exploit. Tho erowd cheered and yelled for fully three minutos. A board wallk is being put down along the entire south side of the park, and the small Yoy is forever barred from climbing over the fence by four strans of barbed wire. ‘Phe umpire's upiform is very handsome, and by the way, Fessenden is a fine looking fellow, as well as an excellent umpire. Ho allows no monkeying, aud the pleyers all secmed to have & wholesome dread of him. Fessenden umpired and umpired superbly. When men are on bases he takes his positi withiu the dinmond just back of the pitel box. He was prompt aud invariably cor in bis decisions, and gave perfect satisf 10 both teams, If the Omahas play ball lile they did yes. terday they'll have a walle over. ‘It should not be thougnt, however, that Minneapolis didn't play ball also, for they did svd afier a marvelous fashion.

New Yorg, April 80.—“General”? and Madame Diss De Bar were witnesses in their behalf to-day in the conspiracy case agalnst them. “General” Diss De Bar admitted he had never been married w the madamo, and that he had a wedded wife and family of adult progeny in Philadelphia: fbut he de clared he had discharged his obligations to them and considered himself the madame's husband before God. Madame Diss De Bar, when sworn, declared herself to be the daughter of Lola Montez and the late King Ludwig of Bavas She was sent to this coun- try when a child. The witness sketohed her life in various countries and in numer- ous convents, and said the spirit power first came to her when she was in & convent in Chicago. Her spirit pictures were, sho de- clared, genuine, and what she represented them o be, bhe work 0f spirit hands, She did not ask Marsh for a cent and was very much astonished when he gave her his house. 'he justice held her and her husband in 000 bail each for the grand jury. i Feasting Carl Schurz. BERLIN, April 50.—A banquet was given at the kaiser hotel last evening in honor of Carl Schurz, Count Herbert Bismarck, several members of the reichstag and other distin- guished persons were present. Prof. Gheist, in proposing the health of Schurz, said as a popular orator, us a leader in the army of the civil yar, as a senator and as a minister in a model administration, Schurz had always re- mained the same true man. Schurz replied briefly. Tn the course of his remarks he said the preservation of a friendly understanding between the German fatherland and the American public is dearer to Gernmn-Amer- icans than anything clse, A Masonic Dignitary's Luck. CiicAGo, April 30.—Charles A. Howard, of Milwaukee, a widely known Masonic digni- tary, whose financial circumstances horeto- fore have been only moderately comfortable, was to-day notified by a lawyer here of a bequest left him of over $1,000,000 by an aunt, Mrs. Mary Howard, of Kent, Yorkshire, ingland, whom Howard supposed had disin® herited him. ———— In Favor of the Buildings.

An El Paso, Tex., dispatch to the St. Louis Globe, say: Surveyors who are examining the route proposed for a rail- road from Deming, in New Mexico, to Janos, in the state of Chihuahua. and from there to some peint on the Pacific coast, have gone already as far as the old Spanish presidio of Janos, which is in the midst of the wild Sierra Madre of Mexico, one of the least known dis- tricts of North America, but evidently the seat of an_ ancient civilization of which no authentic record has come down to the preseat day. Ina canyon which was passed through by the sur- veying party, a_succession of dwellings were encountered stretching along for miles, and being built up in terrace form, one above the other, with solid masonry unlike the crude and pigmy- like cliff-dwellers of Arizona and New Mexico. The dwelling had more the appearance of regular streets, being built above each other on the shelv- ing declivity of the canyon, and being difficult of access, as if it had been done for purposes of defense against power- ful cnemies. Most of the buildings have their front walls constructed of hewn stones carefully cemented,while the rear portions are built into the sides of the canyon. All of these ruins are in a remarkable state of preservation, so much so that they deserve more the name of abandoned dwellings than of ruins. 2 Aftor this canyon is passed and the opon country reached, an isolated moun- tain of symmetrical proportions is reached, on the summit of which the ruins of & gigantic stone structure are encountered, the appearance of which indicates that it was either a temple or the palace of a king. A portion of these ruins consist of a very hard concret: At the foot of this mountain are substan- tially constructed terraced structure plainly showing the existence in former times of an extensive system of 1rri tion and storage of water. Thecountry for many miles in all directions contains stone |'ufit‘ such as melates or stone tables, with aprropiate pestles for the grinding of maize, stone hammers, vari ous household utensils, and, in some in- stances, bronze tools of such extraordin- ary hardness and temper that_they are equal to modern steel tools. Wherever the ground is turned us) these relic: found in unfailing abundance. The neighboring Indians know of these ev dences of a former civilization. The b lief is that the king of all the Montezu- mus lived on the top of that mountain, but at what time and what his name was they did not know. ey Private Theatricals. The passion for private theatricals, says the Chicago Journal, has never been so strong in certain circles as it is just now, and it is a common sight on public conveyances to observe young people of either sex with their noses buried deep in thin, closely printed bools, that the initiated know contain the play that is for the time being under study. A young man thuseu- gaged, as a rule, endeavors to concenl his occupation from his fellow passen- gers, he fixes his eyes closely onthe page before him, and does not allow his lips to move. Not so the girl of the period, however. She makesno pre- tense of concealment. At intervals of three minutes her bright eyes are raised from the book and the speceh just com- mitted to memory is mumbled forth in an often quite audible undertone, If she has a companion with her the other occupants of the car are_fortunate, for it is ten to one they will be entertained with a treatise of the past triumphs and future aspirationsof the *‘club” of which the fair student is g member with a glowing description of the student’s Ppart” and the gowns that are to grace it thrownin, By the time her street is reached half the other ladies in the car are sneering superciliously, and all the men are wishing duvuud)y that they were going to appear in the piay.

A FERTILE SOIL FOR TRUSTS How Protection Ohokes Out the Life 6f Trado. — WHITNEY AND THE STANDARD. Mr. Canuon Inglmates That the Secre- tary is Oofinécted With the Grent Mofiopoly—The Inter- nal Rovenue System., House. Wasnrxaron, April 80.—~The house went into committee of the whole on the tariff bill and was addressed by Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio. It was strange, Mr. Grosvenor said, that the democratic party, led by that ama- teur statesman, the president of the United States, suddenly has become the champion of the internal revenue system, For twenty years the gentlemen representing the south- orn states had not only denounced the geng oral system of internal revenue, but had op- posed all efforts of the government to enforce the law and has so thoroughly educated the people of the south into the belief that the system was jtyrannous that thoy had builded up a great sentiment in the south that to de- feat and violatd and destroy that system by fraud and violence and bloodshea and mur- der was but the assertion of the God-given right of rebellion against the tyrannous enactment of a ty- rannous government, Now the democratic party, directed by the message of the presi- dent, ordained that the most sacred monu- ment of taxation in this country was now, and must be in the future, the internal reve- nuo systom. Discussing briefly the speech of the gen- tleman from Minnesota (Mr. Nelson) he said, when the gentleman undertook to put repub- licans who favored the repeal of the internal revenue law into the category of being in favor of free whisky and free tobacco, he mado a Frcnt mistake. The proposition to repeal the tax on whisky was to remit the power of taxation to the states and to permit, the states totake the place of the general government, Regarding the tariff, he said, the mission of statesmen was to see that the laboring men of this country should have a groat deal higher wages than the laboring man of other countries, The prosperity of the country had met with no check until Mor- rison menaced the industries of the United States. The disaster which was threatened by the Morrison bill would be quadrupled by the passage of the Mills bill. He looked for the restoration of the repub- lican party to power; the party which had laid deep and strong the foundation upon which the great tariff structure had been builded; the party had grown wiseb by the assaults made upon the system by its enemies, and it would then be able to reburnish and rebeautify the magnificeut structure which was to-day the pride and glory of the Ameri- can citizen. Mr. Rayner of Maryland did not think that the duty on glass should be reduced to the extent proposed ip: the bill, but no matter how the bill came from the democratic party he would vote for it. . He would follow his great party on this greatissue. He had no right_oto look to the iodustry in_ his district . when the question before the country was whether the system- atic pian of robbery.and plunder was to be continued, i Pussing to the question of trusts, he said unless heroic steps: were taken to impede their advance, private enterprises would be seriously affected and the prices of the prin- cipal commodities of the country arbitrarily fixed. The Standard oil trust was one of fraud, corruption and oppression. Mr. Cannon, of Tllinois, mquired whether the gentleman did not know the present ad- ministration had appointed one of the princi- pal representatives of . the Standard oil com- pany—at least by relation, if not otherwise— secretary of the navy; and that another rep- resentative was a senator from Ohio. Mr. Rayner believed he could vouch for Secretary Whitney that he had not the slightest connection with the Standard oil trust, but it did not make any difference who was connected with it, it was the greatest fraud upon the people that had ever been perpetrated. If the democratic party struck down monopolies it would re- ceive, under the leadership of him who-led it now, and who was as fearless a foe as cor- ruption ever encountered, the rencwed fealty of the fienple. Mr. Henderson of Towa said the president had thrown the gauntlet at the feet of pro- tection and Bwog boldly up as the champion of freetrade. He criticized the bill as erip- pling where it should support, and tearing Hown whare it should bulld up. He warned the laboring men agaiust any party, presi- dent or law-maker whose acts would qui the trade of England, while in a comparati aegree it would check the manufacturing in- dustries of their own country. Adjourned. Senate. > ‘WacnixaToN, April 80.—Mr. Stewart in- troduced a bill to require the purchase and coinage of not less than $,000,000 worth of silver bullion per month. He said the bill m- volved no new principle and asked it be read a first and second time and laid on the table. It was so ordered. ) Mr. Stewart also offered a resolution call- ing on the secretary of the treasury and the director of the mint for a variety of informa- tion regarding the purchase of silver bullion since the passage of the silver coinage act; also the prices paid foreign coin values, ete. The resolution offered last week by Mr. Hale calling on the secretary of the interior for information as to appointments in his depart- ment below the civil service grade since March, 18585, was adopted, The senate then proceeded to tho considera- tion of the railroad land forfeiture bill. Mr. Paddock offered an amendment pro- viding nothing in the act .should be con- :(Iruch as limiting the rights granted to pur- chasers or sctilers by the forfeiture act of March 3, 1887, or as ropealing, altering or amending that act, Adopted. The internatiozal copyright bill was then taken up, and after some debate and the adoption of minor amendments went over, The senate then adjourned, A New Pension Measure. WismxatoN, April 80.—Representative Burrows, of Michigan, introduced in the house to-day a bill authorizing the secretary of the interior to place upon the pension rolls on application the names of surviving honor- orably discharged soldiers and sailors who served at least ninety days in the lawe war, the rate of pension to*be 1 cent per month for each day’s actunl servica. Provision is made for the employment of 1,500 additional clerks in the pension bureau and the adjutant gen- eral’s oftice for hringiu up the rolls, Sustained thé Lower Court, WASHINGTON, April$0.—The supreme court to-day sustained the bircmt court of Cali- fornia in the California tax cases, The suits were brought by the 'stite against the Cen- tral Pacific and other/raflroad companies for the collection of certain faxes assessed by the state board of equalizatipn in addition to those assessed by the county boards, The circuit court decided against the state, and the on! new point in to-day’s dotision i3 that dec ing illegal the taxation of the franchiscs granted the companies by cougress, e — Ann Arbpr Professo AxN Aunom, Mich., April Louisa Reed Stonewe!l was attacked Satur- day evening with & severe hemmorhage of the stomach and recovery is doubtful, e L THE MARVELS OF PARIS. Three Hundred Partners and Over Three Thousand Employes. From a Paris letter: The world-re- nowned} Bon Marche, on the south of the Seine, isa marvelous establish- ment. As you enter at this season you cannot but'be a mazed with the decora- tions and beautiful coloring around you. The store is built with immense well rooms, with three galleries extend- ing around them, covercd with a glass roof. The many winding stairways, with handsome railings, are decorated with far lainps, Japanese uwmbrellas and novelties of all descriptiong, Sus- pended from the gallerles to tho cen« tral chandeliers are gay ribbone in all shades, and rows of parasols in red, white and blue, bordered with lace, hong from side to side. The artificial flowers cannot be equalled. They are arranged in the most natural manner. WHOLE FLOWER BEDS are represented growing in moss, and some of the imitations are so porfect that one is tempted to stop and inhale their fragrance. There isa section of the store reserved for these bemutiful flowers, and as many artificial plants are used as decorations in Paris, there is a fine display of begonin and all the spring Dblossums in plant form. ’ Next to these are ostrich feathers in richest shades and in such quantities that the eye is dazzled, while above are fans, fine in texture and exquisite in shade. The spring bonnets attract much nodce and well they should; for they are little marvels in their way. Every afternoon at 8 strangersare taken through the entire establishment, so we made our way to the reading-room to join the party gathered for that purpose. THE READING-ROOM is large, with ceiling decorated with statuary and paintings, with masses of giit, much resembling the magnificent rooms seen at the Louvre Gallery. At the side are paintings, to suit all tastes, no vich frames, while elegant orna- ments adorn the mantlepieces, The doors, resembling arches lead to balcontes from which a fine view of the wonderful store is obtained. The table, extending the length of the room, was crowded with persons busily reading papers, published in all lan- guages, while some were writing on pads, with a case before them of paper and envelopes. stamped ‘*Bon Marche.” At one end of the room we noticed ame- morial to Madame Boucicaut in ivory, within a harp and resting upon purple satin, At last the time arrived for the com- pany to start on their tour of inspection and a man passed middle-age announced that he was reany to escort us. He was a,model Frenchman, with just the airs and graces and the facility to strike im- posing attitudes, which marks the na- tion ns a class, He called our attenion to a large banner of velvet, with rows of medals id silver and gold, explaining that there was a course 1n 2 MUSIC AND ENGLISI free to employes,and that these rewards were given to the deserving at the end of the year. The professor in English names the best scholars, and thev are sent to England to remain six months, in order to perfect themselves in the language, their expenses being paid by the establishment. This may account for the number of clerks who speak Enghish. The Frenchman told usthat Maillard, the American confectioner, first gave him the idea of showing the public the entire store, by sending n card, asking him to escort some Ameri- can ladies through the establishment. The company we joined mnumbered thirty-six, but were unhoticed passing “hrough the long galleries, alveady so crowded. We came to a_room entirely lined with mirrors, and small tables, covered with green cloth, was all that could be seen, In a moment the heavy curtains were drawn and darkness prevailed, when much to our surprise, the leader pulled a cord, and numerous gas jets threw a brilliant light from reflectors placed behind them. We soon found that here EVENING SILKS WERE SHOWN and the mirrored walls gave an oppor- tunity to the fair sex to select the most becoming tints. We ascended the steps leading to the highest galleries. Here an unsurpassed view of the store was obtained, and the gorgeous decorations shown forth as far as the eye could reach. The one court below us was as spacious as many a large store. It is often used as a concert hall, and when thus roquired three hundred clerks clear it of its furnishings in two hours. At the last concert noted singers from the grand opera offered their services, but usually the performers are restricted to employes, and the cards of admission are given to their friends. There are at present 3,300 employes in this estab- lishment, and as xll[ breakfast and dine on the upper floor THE KITCHEN AND DINING-ROOMS are most interesring to The cooks, twelve in number, wore long, white aprons and caps. The stove wus fully eight yards in_length and propor- tionately wide, and was covered with immense soup and vegetable caldrons, for the dinner v well under way. The bill of fare consisted of soup, meat, one vegetable, salad and wine. There were four immense machines, one to out car rots, another 1o prepare potatoes, and a third to_mash onions, while the fourth was used to slice bread for soup. There our escort stopped, and taking a hand- ful of thin slices, dropped them one by one, saying they much resembled tor- chon lace. At the sides the cooks were busy cutting the meat ready for the griile, which holds 800 chops at a time, and besides it was an ingenious inven- tion for frying potatoes. A sack of them were thrown in at ome end, and by revolving a cylinder they are fried and pass out ready for use. Above our heads was an ele- vated road to transport the enormous cauldrons from one lnu-t of the kitchen to another, many of them weighing 400 pounds. The pantry was large; you can judge of its sizo when told that 25,000 plates and kettles are washed daily in the great tanks, Across the hall was THE WINE ROOM which would fully assure you that this red fluid was a favorite one with the French, Each person is allowed alittle more than a pint and a half, so that 2,500 quarts are dnili' consumed. Wine bottles lined the wall, covered the ta- bles, and we were told that in no school or pension was such wine served. The dining room was a model of order, neat walnut tables extended the entire width of the room, This room is used for the men, while beyond is the refectory for women,with mahogany tables and cane- soatod chairs, {\N';erd room is used by those who have | ftions in the storo, but the menu is gh‘:‘:nmo for all. On tho walls woro cases divided by par- titions, each eontaining a napkin throughout the whole %mnnmg ™ order and system prevailed. Kvery pro- vision has been made for the safety of all employes in caso of fire, ®We now pnssed through a halltoa room which amused us much. In one corner were two men, one before a strange looking instrument, used to cloan 3,800 knives, while a man at his side wiped the same. Here were seated meon in blue blouses, having great bags of potatoes beside thom, each busy with his knifo paring this favorite vegeta- blo. As our party stood looking at them many a smilo was exchangod among the peelors, and the man polish- ing knives flourished them in the show their shining quelities. Next to this was the workmen’s and eonchmen’s refoctory, and we arrived in time to seo them at their dinner. These have three meals daily, and they seemed to enjoy their repast and paid 1ittle atben- tion to the foreigners gazing at them. There was a small room used for mak- ing tea and coffee, whilo those who are indisposed have tisage furnished, a drink much used here for invalids, A doctor is daily in attendance, and all employes can consult him free of charge. Four barbers are also busy every morning shaving the men and arranging the coiffours of some of the women. There was one large room devoted to receiving and carrying out orders for foreign lands and throughout France. These amount on an average to 5,000 a day. Of course this does not include Paris, THE GIRLS’ APARTMENTS, We descended four flights of stairs and crossed the street to see the apart- ments provided for girls without parents and who are earning a livelih in the **Bon Marche.” we passed through along corridor lined on either side with neat, square rooms, each containing one window, nicely curtained, a single bed, wardrobe, washstand and chairsof dark- stained wood, without spot or blemish, and polished floors, On the mantle- pieces were pretty clocks and ornaments, and they were such rooms as any one in any station of life would find most com- fortable. Fuel is furnished to the occu- pants every Sunday. In this house there are 125 rooms, while Madame Boneicaut, the proprietress of the im- mense establishment provides accommo- dations forothers in adjancent buildings. At the end of the corridor was A LARGE PARLOR, having four windows, gilded chande- liers, red velvet furniture, piano, pretty tables and a handsome bookcase. The girls who live here must be unprotected by nné' one in Paris, They are not per- mitted to go out evenings without special permission. No gentlemen callers are allowed, but nevertheless many marriages tuke place among the employes. Every comfort is provided, as well as the watchful eye to guide them and shield them from harm, The courtyard of this building is roofed with glass and used asa car- riage-house, which vehiclesare pecul in color, being red, yellow and black. The last place we visited were the stables, which contained between two and three hundred horses, The ma- j y of them were biack and of uni- form cize, each having their name over their head. OVER THREE MILLION DOLLARS were left by Madame Baucicaut to her employes, not one of whom was forgot- ten, no one receiving less than two hundred dollars. She was not merely a business woman, but a philanthropist. The *“‘Bon Marche’ is now conducted by *‘Jules Plassart & Co.” The partners number three hundred persons, who were selected among the employesof the establishment by Madame Boucicaut some time ago B. e Chinese Maximums.

ST G Two Contracts Awarded. At ameeting of the board of education held last night John H. Harte was awarded the contract for building the Lake streot school, and Arthur & Herd for the Bancroft school. This action was based on & favorable deci- sion from the board’s attorney, Mr. Connell. All bids for the Walnut Hill and Moran street schools were rejected. It was ordered that bids for the sixteen room buwilding on Mason street be furnished both on the plans of Architects I'isher and Ellis, and the sec- retary was instructed to advertise for bids for the heating and plumbing of the Omaha View, Lake, Bancroft, Waluut Hill and Ma- son school buildings. MEXICAN NUSTAS Husfiing MENT fa donth to Proa, D0 BURES, CAKED Bukddis sid el dnriaxdaiton, THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS. Strangely Enough the Rains Produco an Advance in Wheat. EVERYONE TRIES TO BUY CHEAP. Corn Opens Lower but Later Advances Sharply—Some Excitement Among Oats Traders—Provisions Stronge er—Cattle Slow. OHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET. Cnrcago, April 80.—[Special *Telagram to the Bre.]—Rain came at last and also a day of a very small decrease in the visible supply of wheat, both supposed to be bearish influences, but upon them, or porhaps in spita of thom. wheat advanced 14c. It seemed to Do procisely the case of too unanimous opin- ion in one diroction producing an exactly op- posite result from what was expected. About everybody who believed in wheat and wanted to buy some, had been waiting for a week for rain which should lower values, and enable them to got it at & little better price good many commission men had been advis mg such a course and it looked reasonable. Local traders had sold short in anticipation of rain and & consequent break. Accordingly when the market 6poned first salos could only be made at a decline of about i¢gc from Saturday's closing figures, and there was even a little further decline, but buying orders were in the majority, and this decline from Saturday was soon recovered. Then there was a re- action and another small advance, but no very rapid movement until after the the au- nouncement of the decrease of 160,000 bushels in visible supply. This was immediatoly followed by a drop of Y @!{c and then an ad- vance began which continued almost without reaction to the extent of 1c. Thero was only a slight decline and tiie close was almost at the top prices of the session. Selling on the advance seemed to be chiefly by local scalp- ors, and it was also said that forcigners were selling. Buymg was quito general, almost every commission house doing some of it and two of the heaviest local bears were credited with large buying through brokers to cover shorts. Trade was very largo and some of the local bulls were taking advantage of tho situation and of < the comfortable position in which former purchuses had placed them to bid prices up on tho frightened shorts. The bearish influences have been mentioned abtove. They had been largely discounted during the latter part of the week. The bull news was chiefly concerning the coming crop, but some of it ‘was new aud starthng. A report from Cali- fornia said that the crop in the San Joaqui) valley was ruined and that wheat had ad- vanced 15 per cental in San Francisco in eon- sequence. That was bullish enough for the west const. Then came an estimate made by the best known of Chicago crop experts that the crop east of the Rocky mountains would run 84,000,000 bushels less than last year. These were undoubtedly the influences that scared the shorts to-day, and_to help the up- turn came a report that ‘twenty-five loads of hard wheathad been_worked for export in New York to-day. June wheat opened at Slige, sold early at Slie, then up to 8 Dok to B15¢c, then up to She, back to 825 827%e, up to Sie again and closed at 1 o'clock at $2j¢@s3c. May wheat opened at 80igc, Sold at X0ige and up to Sljgc, closingat 1 o'clock at SL@s13;c. The corn market opened iower, both on ac- count of larger receipts than were expectod and rain. The weakuess was short lived, however, us_it was found when some of tho May shorts attempted to cover on the last opportunity before delivery day that thero was very little for sale and the price was soon bid up. Then, too, the unexpected and sharp advance in wheal had a stronthen- ing influence on this market, although it withdrew attention from it to some extent. The visible lugply statement showed an in- crease of corn of 849,000 bushels. Junc corn opened at 543(c, which was 3¢c under Satur- day’s closing, advanced to b4f§@b43{c, back o 543c, then up io Bige, back to and clos- ing at 1 o'clock st bij@sdc. May corn opened at B45@543. , sold at 5hlgc up to boc and closed at bi3gc. ¥ There was unusual excitoment in the spec- ulative oats market at the opening, the rain causing & sharp decline. First sales were made at about 3gc lower prices than at the close on Saturday and a further decline im- mediately followed. At the bottom, how- ever, Norton & Worthington were free buy- ers and continued to king the offerings until the loss was entirely recovered except the new crop option. May oats opened at e, up to and closing at 82k, r c, sold at B1%c, up to and closing at 82igc. July oatssold from 82¢ 0 8lic, to 32igc, closing at that price. August oats opened at 28%c, sold at 281 @ 5%c, up Lo 25%¢¢, which ilriro was osked af the close. September oats sold up from 2730 10 28 In provisions the bull side was regardod with the greatest favor. The opening was Jittle uncertain, but buyers soon found if necessary to advance their vows to_induco holders to consider their offerings, and higher prices became therule, Based on Ssturday’s closing the day's actual advance in pork was B@7¥gc, in lard 7!¢@10c and in short ribs 5@ 7ige. Trading consisted largely of changin over expiring contracts to later months, which was made at a premium of 12}¢c on pork, 5o ou lard and 7ig@10c on short ribs. The ‘vol- ume of new business was ouly moderate, and in the cash market buyers stopped buying pending May deliveries. A largp amount of lard bought for May and which will be dc- livered to-morrow will be shipped immedi- ately.

Cuicago, April 0.--[Special Telegram to the Bee)l—Carrie—Trade was extremely slow at the opening. Orders came in late and a heavy, cold rain storm prevailed all the forenoon, no oue going out unless eompolied.
