THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS. Seaboard Prices Virtually Down to An Export Basis. LIVERPOOL STRUNG FOR CORN, Dats Fairly Active in the Way of Changes—Provisions Break Loose From Their Bearish Leanings -~Cattle Slow, CRICAGO PRODUCE MARKETS. Cnicaco, April 16,—[Special ‘Telogram to Tur Bee|-Wheat was easier to-day, and speculative values underwent an unfavorable ange. Cables were just “so so,” neither sne thing nor another, and in this respect a Aisappointment to those who had looked con- fidently forward to reports of stronger for- eign markets consequont upon yesterday's display of firmness. July wheat opened at 821¢(@s2{c, there being good selling at both extromes. The market then sold off to 82, up to $244c, off to 815, touching the latter fgure twice, During the last hour of the trading, July ranged above 82, and seemed to be steady and cven strong. Wheat has apparently found friends at around the cur- rent range of values, During the latter half of the session the character of the buying was decidedly better than at first. The im- proved feeling was due to syme extent to bet- ter closing cables and a decided activity in the ¢ash market. The milling and shipping demand was suficiently brisk to cause an ad- vance of 2, ana of 5¢ in_some desirable sam- ples. Serutiny of the blackboard also discloses the fact that wheat is moving out of all points of nccumulation faster than it is coming in, Minneapolis being the only ex- ception, and there the flour proauction and shipments, tozether, cause a stoady decrease in the stocks, July closed at 821 @s%c, or e lower than yesterday, and May and June feft off at =~ 854 and 88, respect- ively. May opened at 883fc, and sold as low as S7ige. June opened the same a8 May, but sold o lower, touching 87c once. The final quota- tions mark & depreciation of e in May and J¢cn June as compared with yosterday. The outside news in addition to the points enumer- ated above was scarce and unimportant. No export business of any account was reported. The clearances were moderate both in wheat and tour, and it is noted as a significant fact, that most. of the wheat that is now shipped abrond is destined for the English ports, This is looked upon as the best possible evidence that the sea- board prices are at last down to a virtually legitimate export busis. The local lake en- gagements were for 40,000 bushels of wheat o-day, and it is commonly understod that negotiations are in progress for the sale of derablo quahtitidd, - Holdsrs of gdod, choice grain are stiff in their views, and de’ mand a handsome premium over May. A bid of 98 for onc lot of No. 1 hard was re- Jool market was reported strong quotations from there were ad- vanced fractionally. The clearances from the Atlantic ports were likewise heavier ihan for several days past. The receipts, however, was eighty-six cars over yester- day’s estimates, and about 46 per cent of thom were No. 2 The latter circumstance raused the market to open weak at about lsc ander yesterday’s closing price, but the esti- mates~ for w-morrow being only caused a firmer fecling, supplemented by the firmncss and_highor prices ruling among the buyers of the duy’s receipts in the cash market. Beerbohm computed the amount of corn on ssage to the United Kingdom and the con- 2,000 bushels less than on the preceding week, and perhaps this featuro Was the cause of the very stron K rnrlcd from Liverpool. atter port for tho past three days wero 251,060 bushels. The last half-hour was the most_active in trading and_saw the highest prices, the shorts evincing a decided inclina- tion to cover. May sold at #47¢c and was of- fered at that price at the closg, making about 8 e advance for the day. July closed at 35%c bid, which is an improvement of about Jgo since yesterday. Oats were fairly active in the way of changes, while the volume of new business was rather light. The three favorite futures, May, June and July, were at practically sven figures, und there was considerable buying of May und the selling month follow- ing at the same price. This, taken with the increased demand for cash outs, caused con- siderable firianess, aud after o weak opening at 2414c, May advanced to 243¢c, ruling more quiet later. One operator bought 100,000 July and sold May at the common figure. For April 24@24l50 was bid, and No. 3 in store sold at that range, with car lots to go there at 241{c. Proyisions broke loose from their lato sh leaning, and the continued moderate mavketing of hogs, which were again in light supply and higher to-day, turned the awnd when the recent b toolk hold to protect o portion of their extended short ines, prices advanced siowly from the open- ing quotations. Pork subsequently sold up 30a@3be, lard 5@iide, and short ribs 7i4@ [t] CHICI\G; LIVE STOOR. CnicAGo, April 16.—[Sp [Special Telegram to —CarrLe—Trade was slow from the opening to the close on all descriptions of shipping and dressed beef steors, and this, 100, in the face of an immediate and prospec- iive light run, as the supply already shows a deficiency of nearly 4,000 as compared with inst week. Exporters are not buying as lib- erally as last week, and ono or two of the 2ig ones are not on the market. Big, heavy steers s0ld a strong 10 cents lower, and nice, aandy steers that were in such active demand ast week were only about steady; in fact, somo salesmen quote the same rather easier. A few Texans here sold steady, and all de- scriptions of butchers' stock are selli about the same as last week. The stocker and feeder trade opens duil for the week, with the outlook showing little or no im- provement. Veal calveS aro selling here at lower prices than in the country.

At this point there was a change of sentiment and fractional advances were re- gorded. Atchison moved up 3¢ and the Rctivity on the reaction centered in St. Paul, Therd wis a marked inoresse in business wheg prices tarned upward, and at the end f the hour prices were ut a shade better than the opering figures. The feature of the advauce was the action of Milwaunkee, Lake Shore and Western preferred, which moved up 3 ponts in short order.

T Mrs. Burnett's New Nove An uncommonly pretty girl and a popular Spanish alBn 5t Hacakng two leading characters around which moves the latest story which Muys. Frances Hodgson Burnett has written, v New York letter to the Chicago Journal. She has given to it the title of **The Pretty Sister of Jose.” The tale is thoroughly romantic. Popita, the heroine, is a country girl whose pride, wilfulness, imperious temper and wondrous beauty get her into sorry trouble when she falls under the influ- ence of Sebastianano, who is Spain’s most popular bull fighter. All the enes are laid in and around Madrid, and the story is unlike any Mrs. Bur- nett has heretofore done. It will be published in a fortnight by the Serib- ners, the first edition running un in the thousands. As anything which the author of *‘Little Lord Fauntleroy” chooses to write is sure of success, a large sale can safely be predicted for this story of Spanish love and romance. e S Dr. Gluck eye and ear, Barker blk. s 1t Astonished the Nuns, The new statue of the Virgin in the chapel of the convent of the Sacred Hart at St. Louis has provoked con- side iticism, even from the in- mates of the convent, It is deseribed os being the figure of a young girl in the bloom of youth, and when it ar- rived the nuns were more than as- tonished; but they were assured that it was done in Rome under the supervision of one of the highest authorities of the church, the desire being to have the Virgin considered in her youth as well as in her maturity. The statue stands seven feet eight inches high, and was carved from a single block of Carrara marble. - Fisher Printing Co., 1011 Farnam st., telephone 1264, bl ank book mukers, ete, Aristocratic Chirography.
