6 p——G— COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Wheat Was Generally Weak and Closed a Fraction Lower, THAT CEREAL BEGAN TO DECLINE EARLY Thero Was a Falr Trade in Corn, but as the Day Advanced the Markot Became Dall and the Fluetuation Was Limited. CHICAGO, Feb, 15.—May wheat sold at $8%e today. Wheat was generally weak all day and closed but %e from the bottom, At 68%c, with a logs since yesterday of 1%c 8% a result of héavy 5. Corn and oats responded reluctantly to thie break in wheat Corn lost 8¢ and oats Y%e. Provist Irragular, closing unchanged. Wheat was very k at the opening and continued forenoon. Within ale ns were we %o during the an hour and a half from the start May wheat, which closed yesterday at 60%e, had declined to 59%c, with one sale as low as F9%c. The chicf reason for the decline was the disappointing weakness of the Liverpool market, the strength reported from which on the previous day was the main cause of the advance which took place here. The receipts were fairly liberal and the export clearances light, and. it was said that exporti=3 house in nearly every prominent in the hands the country had selling order of their Chicago brokers. The opening price today for May was anywhere from §9%c to 60%c and.it gold at G9c before 11 o'clock. New York wired that Ma; there would have to decline from 1%c to 1%c to permit of the working off of today's foreign buying orders. Other dispatches from New York confirmed the latter very bearish outlook. New York piled long and short wheat on the hands of wheat wheat to the people Lere fn such quantities that after n recovery from G9%e to 59%e it fell back ngain and on the second occasion it broke the previous lowest price ap- May opencd at lost 1%e and Fo badly t peared high in comparison, 60%e, declined le, rallied %e, reacted %e to the close at 58) There was a fair trade in corn. The ma ket as the day advanced became very dull and the range for the entire session was limited to from %e to Sc. Opening trades were at yesterday's final figures and the kale of ,000 bu, held the price steady for @ time, but when wheat turned down the offerings increased and prices receded from 8¢ to ¥ rallied from e to %e, declined from %e to %e and closed with May at the ' hottom figures. Tn oats there was a_fair trade and a weaker feeling, with a decline of from lc to %c. The decline in wheat and corn had considerable effect. May opened unchanged at 20%ge, and after advancing e declined e and closed at the bottom. With the run of live hogs at the yards 14,000 head in cxcess of the estimates, and Jower prices for them, provisions opened weak and lower. With good support from the packers, a reaction set in, and the loss was more than recovered. There was a little covering by shorts, and this helped to sustain prices, For a time the weakness in wheat had no apparent effect on the market, while the activity at the vards and slightly higher prices for the better grades of hogs contributed to the strength, but towards the close it sold off to near yesterday's final figures, and a weak fecling prevailed, except for ribs.

Cattle supposedly struck bottom yesterday, but today the bottom was out. Supplies were considerably heavier than dealers were expecting. Local | houses have been falrly good buyers all week, tempted by the very low prices, but thelr cooling rooms have more carcasses now than they know what to do with, and consequently the ruinously low prices’ that prevailed today offered very little induce- ment to them. It was nearly noon before the buyers left the house, and they bid where they would bid at all, 10c to 15¢ lower than Wednesday. Markets everywhere clso were bad and sellers, while reluctant to ac- cept 8o big a decline, were more anxious to sell than buyers werc to buy.

TALKING OF ROBBERY. When young Cagey or Keefe was arrested last night, a colored follow came up who seemed to be in a very excited frame of mind. He was asked what the trouble was, and in a moment or two he sald Zarly yesterday afternoon three fellows, names 1 do not know, entered Lonis saloon, and after taking a two they went into one of the wine and there they planned to commit a robbery. They were to remain about the saloon” for an” hour or two and then leave. Then along about the time the crowd at the saloon thinned out a little, and as the bartender was making up his cash, the rob- bery was to take place. They were to como to the door and make the porter open it and once inside, make Burmeister, at the point of a revolver, give over what money he had.” This Is what the name is Smith, and porter for Burmeister. Martin Reagon, a frequenter of the saloon and better known as “the dago,” seems to know the most about the case and it was ho who claims to have heard all the conversi- tion that took place in the wine room. Ho gave about the same description of the men as has been given and also added they fres quented the wine rooms very muchvof late. He happened {o bo in the one next to them yesterday afternoon and as he could hear them distinetly he remained. He ieard them ¢ they must raise money and that it had colored man said. His he has for years been to be done thut night no matter how. They were talking of some silverware they had and how they could best dispose of it with- out fear of detection. From what he could learn, whatever goods they had were hidden and they were waiting for a fourth party S0 they might decifle definitely what to do. It was understood he was to bring the goods to them. One of the parties said that even were the goods disposed of safely they would not have enough money to leave the city. Then it was proposed to rob some house or store. If they were shown resistance it was understood they would stand together (il the last. If the robbery was successful they were to leave the ci at once by the Douglas street bridge and take a train for the south at the Bluffs. Then the quartet got ready to go and Reagon kept his place till they were out of sight, and coming out of the room where he had been he told some of the people about the place what he had heard. He says that Casey or Kecfe was one of the men seen to g0 in the place and that Ward was the othier. THe third party and the one who was sald to come from Sonth Omuha got away. His name is Cramer and it is sald that if this charge is proven against him he will have (wo to answer, as a year or so ago, it is alleged, he robbed an old man who hap- pened to be drank of $70 and left the eity. e WHITE FACE HORSE SURRENDEL Likely to Answer for His Indian Mur Numerous Crimes.
