CONMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Oorn Took the Other Grain Markets in Hand Yesterday, WHEAT OPENED UNUSUALLY QUIEY About Noon, In Sympathy with the Bulge In Corn, Wheat Rose, but Declined on Rradstrect's Report of Small Visible Supply Decrense. CHICAGO, Feb, 13.—~Corn took the grain markets in hand and excited them for a while, but wheat in the end shook Itself 1oose, with a loss for the day of %e, while corn Is from %c to %c higher. Today's re- ceipts of hogs numbered only 20,00 head and prices of pork are higher by 10c for barreled, and from 2%c to Se for ribs, Wheat opened very quiet and from 53%c to Gflge for May, as against G3%c at the close of the market on Mopday. To a con- siderable extent the market scems to hav narrowed fteelf down to a struggle be- tween those who have alr hought the visible supply for May delivery to retain posscesion of their puict and an at tempt of some others to decry its value and make them drop it. The price declined to 5%e early in the , but about noon rose to Gi%e, In sympathy with a bulge in corn at that time, but on Bradstreet's re- porting a decrease of only 568,000 bu. for the week In the world's stocks, selling was renewed and a decline to 53¢ took place. Weakness was due In some measure to the reports from the seaboard of lack of de- mand from the exporters, Corn was very irregular and worked up and down over a range of lc per bu, It was weak at the opening, then strong, from that weak again., and finally wound up firm at 41%c to 46c for May, compared With 415%c on Monday afternoon. The open- ing price was from 44%c to d1%c, and it ruther dragged until it was reported ahout 12 'clock thut there was an active demand at St. Louis for corn to go east by rail, on which report it rose quickly excitedly to i5%c. Some Inquiry T ported for corn for Dubuque, Ia., and ten carloads were =old to go there, Iast advices were to the effect that their re Rources of supply were drying up and they expect to have to draw from Chicago b fore long. Bradstrect's reported th supply reduced 20,00 bu. as compared with an inereas> of 163,000 bu. at the points in- cluded in the official visible supply report, The oats market was active during the greater part of the session and quite a Bood business was transacted, During the early part of the day the feeling was easy. Later, however, the demand improved, and, with the Influence of a recovering ket in corn, prices rallied and closed a_shade firmer. " May sold from 2e to B%e and up to %, closing at from 2jc to 2%c. ~ Brad- street’s’ report showed a decrease of 700,000 bu. in oats and that, with a decrease of 71,000 bu. in the stocks of contract oats in store, alfo helped to firm up the market Pravisions rose In consequence of the good demand for hogs and the better prices at the yards, Such confidence and demand for the raw material, notwithstanding its extreme plentifulncss, gave the market for the products its firm ‘tone. The strength in corn assisted to sustain provisions and the ackers lent their ald In encouraging the uying. The recelpts for tomorrow are estimated: Wheat, 71 cars; corn, 275 cars; oats, 230 cars; hogs, 80,000 head.

The northwest Carrie school two of Millard, Gatisman, has in McArdle precinct during the years. McArdle has deserted his and five small children and the school tress has disappeared from that The story, as related to a Bee reporter y terday afternoon, is to the effect that Ardle s one of the school directors in that district, and two years ago, through his ef- forts and influence, Miss Gatisman was em- ployed as teacher. She is a young woman about 24 years of age, fairly good looking, well educated, and quite entertaining. The McArdle home is located about a half mile from the school house and Miss Gatisman boarded there. M'ARDLE LIKED HER. She soon became quite a favorite with the McArdle family, and Mr. McArdle paid her considerable attention, which was at first as- cribed to their relationship. During the va- cations Miss Gatisman would put in her time Wwith her parents, who reside in castern Towa, and at the McArdle homestead. John took her back and forth to Millard, and it is alleged that during the stormy periods of weather he would escort her back and forth er school. Things progressed in this manner until several weeks ago, when the actions of the couple became such as to cause gossip, and many ugly rumors began to float around in that localit The talk culminated in a meeting about three or four weeks ago of the school directors, and under the force of pres- sure brought to bear upon the directors by their wives and daughters and the scandalized neighbors they demanded that Miss Gatis- and his who wite's been niece, teaching past |1 wife mis- tiscd: firm in the werld showing a cos.plete line of fnstruments manufactured by most_renowned plano makers on carth, den Bros. are not tied up with red tape restrio- tions like regular selling agents, but are free the | to Hayden Bros, the a larger cheaper than any other makea of equal repu« affair Implicates John McArdle, a |t ~ os | IN8 living three mile them from the Max Meyer & Bro.
