Tlieat Still Kxcited and Some Tall I'lgarcs Blade New Trriocn Play a Sharp Trick jonnoD9 Quantities Handled COiles Decidedly ltullulu CHICAGO Tbo excitement among traders on 'Change wnich prevailed during the latter half of last week was continued to-day. Corn and oats sympathized with wheat to some ex tent, but the dealers in provisions were in clined to run their affairs indeiendcntly. The result of the Ca's trading was an advance of IKc for May wheat, and of 2Jc for July, com pared nith closing figures on Saturday. The greater appreciation In the prico of the July option would seem to indicate that about all of the short interest in May has been liquidated, la fact, in Ihe trading to-day that month gave place in the volume of business done to the Joly option after the trading got fairly under way. Cables received before the opening were strong. Prench country markets wero "dearer. Lhcrpool as KSJId. higher, and cargocaiiere l. higher at London. May started at SI 13 Had touched SI 12J,J momentarily, the result of (alesoy holder.. no had a profit in sight-bnt brokers were fortified MltU bujingorders from Now York for that option, and their bidding ..with the tailing on of belated shorts at onco tine the orico un to SI ).l the highest li-uro touched on Saturday. Then It was discovered that the Now Yorkers had played a sharp dodge, and that tnoy were disposing of their previous purchases at the advance. In the meantime the Now York men were quietly at work in the July option, picking up such lots of It as they could get hold of without exposing their tactics. July did not at once follow ad vance in May, and the trade therefore began to sell it. They soon found that the Eastern people had absorbed all that the local crowd bad sold. This caused a decidedly sharp rally. Before it bad entirely subsided Leopold Bloom began selling enormous quan tities ot July. S. V. Whito &, Co. and others, acting for Eastern account, absorbed all of the offerings. The market didn't break. Another rally followed and the highest price of the ses sion was made. The May future did not keep paco with this rise. July wheat started at SI 10, sold to l'10l 11JL to SI lOJJ.to $1 12 all betore 12:20. May when deserted by tbo Eastern con tingent sold from SI 15 down to SI 13 Latcr.on strong closing cables, it rallied to il 14, but lacking support from the shorts settled back to 51 1SK. but recovered to SI 14 before tbo close. An enormous quantity of May vrhcat was sold to-day by Hately Brothers, who wero presum ably acting on foreign account. The market was Unsettled at the close. Corn was relatively much more quiet tban wheat. The range of prices was generally downward though rather high figures were mauc at the start. Hutch sold rather freely but othor large operators seemed to bo lighting shy of it. Julr was tlio active tpeculative month. It started at 63Kc, sold to CflKc, and was off later to &c Oats followed corn. The leading fntures ranged as follows, as cor rected by John M.

Neir Town of Mendelssohn Beginning to Hake Something of a IH'oisa. THE FEATURES OF LOCAT- SPECULATION McAllister Bros., commission men, have purchased through the firm of BJack & Baird the property now occupied by Henry Eea, Jr., on Liberty street, lot 20x118. with an old-timo two-story warehouse, for about $10,000, or $2,000 a foot front. The pur chasers will sooner or, later put a good build ing; on the lot. A Deal at Edgewood. Edgewood is about the liveliest, as it is admittedly the handsomest, of the group of younger boroughs which cluster like jewels around th parent city. Assistant Superin tendent Michael Crnmp, of the Pennsyl vania Bailroad, has purchased the property there formerly owned by the late Joseph. H. Hill, for many years President of the Pittsburg National Bank of Commerce. It consists of about three-quarters of an acre ot" ground and an old-fashioned brick resi dence. The price paid was a shade under $10,000. Mr. Crump will remodel the build ing and occupy it as a residence. A Possible Summer Hotel. There is talk of cutting the McKay prop erty at Edgewood, about three acres, up into lots. It is among the finest in the borough. Mr. McKay's large ana hand some residence on this ground was de stroyed by fire about ten years ago aud has never been rebuilt It was understood last summer that Mr. Westinghouse intended to erect a 100-room summer hotel on this prop erty, but this project has since gone glim- 4UC11UK uigu; W11Q XjlCCtriC ai JUT. ALC- Kay's subdivision scheme be abandoned, as some think, it is possible that he may catch on to Mr. Westinghouse's idea, and carry out the hotel project himself. Young bnt Progressive. The new town of Mendelssohn is keeping up its pace regardless of strikes, present or prospective. The roof of the paper mill is on and the plant will soon be ready for oper ation. Ground has been broken for a hoop iron and a steel plant, and the Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston Bailroad Company is pushing the work of extending its tracks into town. About $70,000 worth of lots have been sold since the place was laid out less than a year ago. "W. Y. Parkinson has marketed 33 lots ot the William Bradshaw plan, just outside the town, in the last few months. Many buildings will be erected this summer and coming fall. The prospect is that Mendelssohn will develop into an important manufacturing center. Fighting the Smoke Nuisance. The "Wilkinsburg Electric Light Com pany has begun work on the superstructure lor its new plant at Edgewood. The pros pect of a possible smoke nuisance in the center of the pretty little borough has stirred up considerable feeling among the citizens, which has taken shape in the form of a new company, recently chartered, which will furnish light from a plant located farther up the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal Company "Tl," where it will be less objectionable. Business New and Gossip. Up to tbo close of the last call yesterday, nothing had been beard from or about Mr. Westinghouse. Mt. Washington, for the most part, is built np almost as solidly as any other part of the city. Two new churches, Methodls. and Pres byterian, will Boon be completed. ' With two electric light companies in the Wilkinsburg district, illumination should be cheap. Among the mortgages on file for record yes terday was one for $50,000, given by the Straub Brewing Company, ana one for $20,000 given by Herman Bartcls both purchase money. The annual meeting of stockholders of the Pittsburg and Western road will be held May 4. A President and Board of Directors will be elected at that time.

Philadelphia Gas Moves Up a Pair, bnt Electric Weakens Two Shaky Spots That Should Be Strengthened A Bad Day for the Gossips. The local stock market possessed few ele ments of Interest yesterday, and business was slow aud draggy. Ball news came out of the West, but It fell flat. Nothing Inspiring was received from New York or London, though both centers were up to the level of last week. Total sales here were 530 shares, of which 290 were Electric. The street railways contributed 200 shares, and Philadelphia Gas gio re mainder. Early in the day It looked as it Electric was on the slate for another bulge. At Boston it sold up to 14. Firs; sales here were at U. It subsequently weakened off" at the Hub, causing a slump here to 14. The downward movement was continued at tne last call, and the closing bid was 13.' There was no news to affect the stock, and the decline was due to lack ot supporting orders. When Boston drops out Pittsburg is nowhere, so far as this stock is concerned. This is pretty good evidence that the vitality it has shown for the past week or so was the result ot manipulation to rovive the flagging Interest of Pittsburg investors. Philadelphia Gas held Its own aud a little more, closing a fraction better than the open ing. It was claimed that the company was making arrangements to market all its fuel daring the hot season, so as to keep earnings at or near their present level. The weakest spots in the list were Second Avenue Passenger Railway, which was offered down to 50, and Allegheny County Electric Light, which droppea to w witnout uiuaers. The weakness of the first mentioned nroperty was attributed to unsatisfactory earnings and prospect of competition. County Light has never been buugered and thirsted for. and it is presumed some of tbo holders are tired of carrying it and want to realize. The rest of the list, while showing no material changes, was barely steady. Sales wore: First can ortv-nvo .iectnc at u's, iv ai 14 10 at 14, 100 Central Traction, on account, at 18.

The Outlook for the Large Crops and the Markets for Them The Principal Movement Comes From the "Western Districts. NEW York, April 2a The opinion Erows dally that the extraordinary strength shown of late by the stock market In the face of the most discouraging circumstances has more con nection with the outlook for large crops and large markets for them during tbo coming sea son than has been before suspected. The West is a unit in its bullish feelings on stocks, and it is undeniable that the principal support to the present movement comes from that quarter. The stocks in which the West, and particu larly Chicago, is interested, are the leaders and their activity and strength give tone to the en tire market. There are two or three cliques among local operators, however, and the backing of Mr. Cammaek is one of the enigmas which the street employs its extra time in solving, and it Is believed in many quarters that a most powerful combination In audition to the West is under the market at -presont. To-day there is a revival uf both activity and strongth in the market and all the leading shares resumed their upward march under heavy bujing which soon orougnt in ouenngs which swelled the volume of business but were powerless to check the upward tendency :in prices for any material length of time. The market during the greater portion of the day acted more like a genuine bull market tbau it has lor some time, although the same narrowness was not visible and there was a lack of vim in the dealings in thegeneral list, while the same stocks monopolized, as usual of late, the great majority of the business done. The most notable feature in the trading was the activity and strength in Chicago Gas. The Grangers, however, were the inaiustay of the movement, and, while there was the usual amount of busi ness lu industries and specialties, there was lit tle interest in the trading outside of Grangers, Atchison and Northern Pacific Among the industrials distillers and cattio feeders made a sharp upward spurt, and in the regular list C, C, C. it St. L. and Lackawanna were strong by turns The general list, however, was quiet aud moved within uarrowlimits, and shows gen erally insignificant changes for the day. The openlug on the execution of tho orders accumulated over Sunday was very active and materially higher, the gains over Saturdays prices reaching 1 per cent la some cases. This brought out a great deal ot stock and theactiv ity continued throughout the dav, but the de mand was urgent and was sufficient to keep prices moving upward steadily throughout the session. Chicago Gas, Rock Island, Lacka wanna, Union Pacific and some of the special ties led the list at different times aud all scored marked advances. The bullish feeling ran so high in the latter portion of the day that no concession was to be noted at any time, and the market finally closed active and strops: at the highest prices. and with the buoyant tone unimpaired giving promise of a further advance in Oregon Improvement fives and Atchison Incomes, while thegeueral list was strong all the way out, though the movements wero. as a rule, for fractional amounts only. The Oregon Improve ments furnished Hie feature of the day. and they rose from 66J io 69K. but fell back to 68 at the close. Government bonds have been dull and steady. State bonds have been ne glected. The Poj says: The speculative public seems to have got over the nervousness about tho export ot a few millions of gold) it is alleged that finances in Europe aro not in a satisfac tory condition; that both England and Ger many have suffered enormous losses in Argen tines, and that they are now realizing im portant losses on their Investments Bnt so far as these losses may oblige them to soil securi ties that are readily marketable in order to have ready money or gold, it Is believed that both England and Germany have sold back to us about all their speculative holdings of American securities. As for the securities which have been bought there for investment instead of speculation they aro not likely to be disturbed. The contravention of investments in the United States and tbose in South America is so strongly in favor of the former that it Is nioro llkelv to divert canital from the securi ties of all other countries to those of tho United States riie following tabic shows tne prices o( active stocks on the N ew York slock Exchange yester day.

How He Tricked and Captured a "Wily Deer on the River Bank. Colonel "W. "W. Gordon and a party of Savannahians who spent a week hunting on St. Catherine's Island last month are still tellibg a good story of a very unusual and laughable incident that occurred during the hunt, says the Savannah 2,'eics. Charles Grant, the negro manager of the fine pack of deer hounds which Jacob Iiauers keeps on his place, is the hero of the story. One morning toward the end of the hunt the party was among the lagoons near the coast. Besides the large pack of hounds, they had a number of negroes beating through the palmetto and heavy undergrowth. About 11 o'clock, while driving the lagoons, the dogs roused a fine, large doe, which started full tilt down the island toward the coast and right in the direction of the hunters' stands. The whole pack opened alter her with voices that made the welkiu ring, and he negroes were close behind them with ells that could be heard a mile. Wheu the doe reached the beach she found herself cornered by the dogs, with ap parently no avenue of escape, but turning about she boldly plunged into the water and swam out into the sound, followed by the dogs. As she seemed to have no inten tion of stopping, the dogs gave up the chase and came back to the shore. Grant had followed the deer to the coast and watched her swim out into the sound. She swam out a long distance, nearly to a trading schooner, over a mile from the coast. Grant waited, and alter awhile the deer turned about and started slowly back for the shore, making for the very point where she had been driven in. Grant waited until her feet were almost on the land when he put the dog in. The deer made one leap past the dog and landed on the shore. Grant had dismounted from his horse, and as the deer landed he grabbed her around the neck. Grant and the deer had a lively wrestle up and down the beach. He struggled with her until be managed to get to his horse and got hold ot his cowhide dog whip, 20 leet long. Throwing the deer he wrapped the whip around her legs until be had ber com pletely tied up. Then he cut the buckskin string from his hunting horn and with it tied the deer to a myrtle root. He then rode back to the camp, where be found the party preparing to cook some bacon for dinner. He told them he had a deer down on the beach, bu't they refused to believe him. As he persisted in bis story the party at length took the wagon and wentdown on the beach, where they found the deer, just as Grant had slid. THE EABTH WILL TBEHBLK An Earthquake Prophet, Persecuted In Pltuburg, Now In New York. "What is that tall building 'over there with the clock iu the tower?" asked an intelligent-looking colored man, who wore a clerical costume, of a New York Sun re porter while they were waiting for a train ou the platform of the Park place elevated railway station on the evening of the day the Tribune was 50 years old. On being told that the building belonged to the birthday, he asked, with what seemed irrele vance: . "Do you remember the earthquake that Sunday afternoon in August, 188-1?" "Yes," replied the reporter who remem bered feeling at the time that like Char ity Pecksniff, he hjd "lived to be shook." "Wei!, I prophesied that earthquake. I prophesied the Charleston earthquake and also the Johnstown disaster. Now, I have seen iu a vision that tall building over there, with a large part of the city, de stroyed by an earthquake. AVhilepart will be destroyed, not a stone of the rest will be disturbed! Chicago will be entirely de stroyed at the same time! 1 " As soon as he could recover from his astonishment at this revelation, the reporter asked when all this would happen. "That I can't tell, but it will haj.pen during my lifetime. I have been a slave aud am no scholar, as you can tell, but I am one of those of whom the Bible said: 'The young men shall see Visions and the old men dream dreams.' I have been put in prison in Pittsburg for prophesying by people who did not believe the Bible, but my visions have come true, and so proved the Bible true." The prophet proved to be the Rev. A. Jones, of Carlisle. Pa., a Baptist minister who is now holding revivals in the colored churches of this cltv. HIS WIFE AT PEACE. One Woman Who Always Knows Where to Find Her Hubby. Columbus Dispatch.
