REALIZING FINALLY CAUSED A LOSS Corn Was Firm for Five Minutes or So in the Morning but Ruled Easier Later--Stocks and Bonds, CHICAGO, Teb, 27.—Wheat Jumped up and down nervously within %c range to- day, but realizing on the advances, finally closed the market with %e loss for May The corn market followed May, %c lower May oats %c lower, and provisions at light declines, Wheat was steady and about unchanged. The arrival of two cargoes of wheat at New York for Portland, Ore., caused some temporary weakness, but other items of the early news of an opposite character gave the price a sharp upward turn. Cablegrams from Paris reported that mar- ket firm and advancing, and the weather continuing unfavorabl Liverpool wired that the market there was strong because of a demand from France for off coast cargoes, and the effect of that here was to raise the price of May rapidly from B%c to Gi%e, the latter being a higher rate than has been realized before for a month. The first trading, lasting for about five minute Wil at from 53'%e t 63%c. The effect of the French cables was quickly neutralized when New York dis patehes arrived, saying that the receivers ©f the bullish dispatches from France wer sellers of wheat in New York. There Were exports from country points’ in Mis souri and Illinois enough *to Keep up the bullish enthusinsm, as they described the appearanc of the wheat plant, as it from beneath the snow as being od and healthy. A ction to 61 followved the latter ne pts at Min- neapolis and Duluth w '8, against 420 a week ago, and 2 yrrespond- ing day of the 'vear her _Primary mar. ket receipts all' told were 179,000 bu. export clearances of wheat and flour from Atlantic ports amounte 10 321,000 bu. The closing hles be 'm, and th inquiry for wheat for export the board™ reported good, the market began to firm up again in the afternoon. Sorn was firm for five minutes or %o in the morning, but ruled easier later, and gave but slight response to the midday Birength in wheat. Toward the close it was rather weak at out lje decline, and closed at yesterday's prices. Receipts were 141 cars, or nincteen less than-esti- mated yesterday. FFor tomorrow 200 car are expected. Trading was fairly activ but _on all the firm spots there appeared to be long corn for sale. May started at from 45%c to 46%c, sold down to 45Y and closed ut from 454 to 4Giie. Trading in the oats market was rather 1imited, with a range of only Y%c in value Shorts were reported to have bought i me stull early, but all other sales were cattered. Fluctuations followed those of corn very closely. May sold from 20%c to 20%c, and between these two prices all day.’ At the end lhc higher was bi ‘The provision market was in the main fpclined to weakness, and closed finally at declines of 7%c on pork and be on lard and ribs. Some offers of long Stuff were well recéived, and the traders apparently concluded that it could not be disposed of without causing o greater decline than they were willing to accept at present, and therefore ceased thelr efforts after a mod- erate loss, Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat, 2) cars; corn, 200 cars; oats, 150 cars, hogs, 85,000 Nead.

Dangerous Blaze in the Heart of the Menu- facturing Distriot, CHILDREN TRAMPLED ON AND MAY DI Were Frightened by the Flames Several Blocks Away and Made n Mad Rush to Escape-Two Large Build- Ings Damaged. CHICAGO, Feb, 27.—A disastrous Which started about 0 o'clock Nheart of the west side factory district de- stroyod a vast amount of property. The firo began In the five-story brick Kaestner { bullding at 245 South Jefferson strect. In the bullding were the Kaestner Knitting works, the Ploneer Paper vompany and the Bach & Hertz Feather company. The bulld- Ing was crowded with men and women em ployes, and the rapld spread of the flames resulted in a panlo in which heavy loss of life was narrowly averted. About 100 women and girls, in addition to a large number of men and boys, wero at work, and in the stampede many were knocked down and badly bruised.” A large number of the wonien wero rescucd by the firemen, and it was thought that no one had been kiiled, The burning building stood In the very center of tho factory district, flanked on cither side by blg manufactories, and soon tho efforts of the firemen were directed en- tirely to fighting the spread of the flames, the Kaestner building being beyond help. Despite the efforts of the firemen the flame spread to the south portlon of the Crane elevator works, which adjoins the Kaestner building on the north. A brisk wind fanned tho flames, and the loss to the elevator com- any was leavy. Iive dwellings which wera clustered in the vicinity were totally destroyed and the flying embers started numerous small fires in buildings several blocks away. A panfe which will probably result in loss of life occurred In the Lancaster caramel factory on Harrison street, several blocks from the fire. Two hundred and twenty chil- dren were at work in the factory and when the flames from the Kaestner bullding were seen some of the children sounded the alarm. A wild rush followed; the children became crazed with terror. They rushed down the stairways, trampling under foot those who had failen, and several boys jumped from second-story windoy Help was summoned and eleven children were rescued uncon- scious by the ambulances, It was feared that several of them were fatally injured. The most seriously injured of the candy factory employes were: Emma Kustic, Btta Gildman, Agnes McIntyro and Bessie Pazlic, All of them were knocked down and trampled upon. It was feared by the phy that with the possible exception of F Kustic they were fatally hurt, The fire was pronounced under control at 11 o'clock, having been confined to the Kaestner build- ing and the south portion of the Crane ele- ator works, The loss foots up over $600,000, most of which is covered by insurance. The Crane company's loss, which was at first thought to have been light, was very heavy, and many of the smaller firms, with apartments in the Kaestner building, suffered much more heavily that the first estimate indicated. Tollowing is a list of losses, except on a number of dwellings and retail stores, none of which were costly Kaestner & Co., building....

Immigration Sheds and Wharves Destroyed and Firemen Iujured. HALIFAX, N. S, Feb. 27.—Property to the value of $1,000,000 was destroyed by fire today in the vicinity of Deep Water termi- nus. All the immigration sheds, wharves, offices and other bulldings burned. Several firemen were Injured. -A heavy wind was blowing and the fire is spreading. Dart- mouth sent its fire brigade to assist the city department. The fire was under control soon after 1 p. m., the department succeeding in pre- venting its spread on Water street. The Dominion government loses upwards of $600,- 000, uninsured. There is a loss on goods stored in the burned sheds which will amount to about $400,000. Of this city the merchants lose $200,000. Several firemen were Injured, but none fatally. The fire burned fiercely, fanned by a strong wind, and for hours it scemed as if the section of the city where it broke out was doomed. SIX COTTAGES BURNED DOWN, Methodist Camp Meeting Grounds at Pit- man Grove Singed—A Baby Hurt. PITMAN GROVE, N. J., Feb. 27.—A fire, which was caused by the explcsion of a coal oll stove, started in the residence of Joln Kerschner, on Twelfth avenue, at 9 o'clock this morning. Before the flumes were under control six cottages were totally destroyed and as many more badly damaged.
