Chicago Ga was, of course, the great feature of the share speculation. The decision of the AttorneypeneraJ of Illinois to beln quo warranto proceeding against the Gas Trust having Xeen announced after the clo?e of business yesterday, the first opportunity to fict on this very pronounced "xolnt" was afforded tit the opening of business this morning. IMenty of rumors had been circulated as to the adverse effect of the decision. It was asserted that an Injunction restraining payment of dividends would be applied for at once and granted as a matter of course; that the forfeiture of the charters of the several companies in the trust would follow, ani that a total disruption of the Chicago Gas Company would be the outcome of the Attorney-general's, decision. A3 a consequence heavy blocks of stock were thrown on the market at the opening, the first price made being CI. which was Tvs below Tuesday's closing figure, and three thousand shares were sola between that price and 63 before the Stock Kxchange official reporters could catch up with the quotations. This was the lowest point touched, and when it was reached buying orders were uncovered, believed to be for the account of insiders who had sold at the high figures of last week. Purchases were also made to cover short sales made yesterday, and the support thus given to the stock had a steadying influence, and checked the selling movement. As a result, u rally of 12 to 64 -i was made. End although there was quite free sales thereafter, the panicky feeling was absent, and the lowest figure subsequently recorded was fiJU. the final sales being at a recovery of j. er 2 below the last price yesterdaj-. Officials of the company profess to feel no alarm at the situation, clalmlng- that the worst that can happen Is a compulsory change of organization, which, they claim, will not prejudice the interests of the present stock or bondholders. They scout the Idea of a forfeiture of the charter of any of the combined companies, and say, although the Attorney-general's action was not expected, they had been preparing themselves for an adverse decision as a frecautionary measure. Chicago Gas stock s likely to be mercurial during the impending of the litigation, and the bears will undoubtedly practice all their arts on it, but the experience of to-day proves that It has very strong supporters, and that this short interest is not disposed to venture very far outside the line of safety. There was a flurry in the bonds of the Chicago Gas Company, the firsts declining 3 per cent., to 82. but recovering to . Conei'mers Gas. firsts broke 3!;. to 80, rallying only 'i per cent. The stock market generalfy was surprisingly firm, in view of the disturbing influences. During the morning the only other shares which appeared In the transactions to any extent were Sugar, Distilling, St. Paul and General' Electric During the afternoon some few of the specialties recorded declines, but the market, in the main, was firm to strong on a small volume of business, and closed firm, with all the active stocks higher, except Chicago Gas and Heading, which la v, lower, and Sugar, which is unchanged. The range was i, while Sugar preferred hows an advance of l1. Ajnong the active stocks which lost more than a fraction are; IlalUmore & Ohio and Evansvllle & Terre Haute, raeh 1 per cent.

Unique Programmes tor the Meeting Prepared by the Sketch Club. Two hundred very unique literary programmes have been prepared for the coming union of literary clubs by the Sketch Club of Indianapolis, composed of the past and present members of the art classes of Miss R. E. Selllck. of the North-side High School. The insldo pages are printed on rough charcoal paper of a very agreeable deep cream tone, and these sheets with their black type, not In Its design exactly what was wanted, but as good as could ba found in the city, compose another protest against the modern printer's ideal of their fine type of "overwrought delicacy" on cold white paper with a shining surfac?. There is a decorative page, the first of the six leaves, with an Interesting drawing in what might be called the modern English decorative style, by Mr. Brandt Steele. A tree is the motive and elaborate conventional treatment of its roots and foliage maka broad bands below and above, leaving a center space for a landscape. The whole book, with the rough alges of Its torn leaves, bears the unmistakable Impress of work done by hand, an effect no machine can imitate; but it is on the covers of heavy coarse-grained paper that these young women have put in water colors their best Ideas of book cover decoration. The designs and the entire decorative work of the souvenirs was done by Miss Alice Somervlile, Miss Helen McKay, Miss Jes?le Daggett, Miss Harriet Shepard and Miss Sarah Keehn. The souvenirs will be presented to the delegates to the Indiana union of literary clubs to be held next week. IN THE COURTS. Higher Court Ilecord.

CORNER RUN IN OATS

An Old Speculator Works a Deal on the Chicago Board. Wheat Come3 in Demand arid the Price Jumps to 531-2c Corn Firm and Provisions 10c Higher. CHICAGO, April 25. The shorts In the oats market to-day on the Board of Trade rralized that they were cornered for May deliveries. The price advanced Pic over the close of yesterday's session. As oats rarely advance or decline more than ' to lie a bu in a day when in a normal condition. It wdll ba seen that lic advance is something phenomenal. It was all due to the fact that an old and experienced speculator named Hess recently made a great deal of money selling wheat short and has invested the whole of It on the long side of the oats market. He i3 credited with having made anywhere from $000,000 to $100,000 on the decline In wheat, and has added that to a former good-sized pile and Invested It all on the long side of oats. There are only about 500,O bushels of contract oats in store, and there Is supposed to be something like three or four million bushels sold short for May delivery. Mr. Hess i3 the owner of the S00.0OO bushels in store and also the owner of the contracts the short sellers have made. He can put his price on the three or four millions that cannot be bought except from him. Nat Jones is supposed to be on the same side of the market as Mr. Hess, and while not credited with being the possessor of much wealth, he has got into a deal where a little money goes a long wav. There was a good deal of excitement and a large crowd dealing In oats, and the chief manipulator stood in the middle of the crowd nearly all the time bidding 34 cents per bushel for May, while July oats were worth only 30 cents. In the end he bid May oats up to 34Uc, while July was only worth 29"sC at the close. An interesting fic;ht is now on. and the speculators say to-day's advance is only tne beginning of it. Wheat closed 140 higher for May and Yi: lower for July. Soon after the opening May wheat advanced ic, to 58c and July ftc, to COc Telegrams were then shown which said it was raining in San Francisco. A reaction followed to the lowest prices at the opening around 58c. Soon the official weather report showed a mere traco of rain In California, and at the same time buying orders came in from there, the result of which was another advance, which did not ston until lic had been added. A notable feature of the latter advance was the narrowing of the Fpread between May and July, which, from 2MiC and 2Uc at the start, contracted to lic The market remained rather firm to the end after reacting about He from the extreme high oint. The corn market was firm, but not very active, and its strength appeared to come largely from sympathy with the advance In oats. The market held a moment or two at the opening price, when there was a general advance to 29c. closing at an improvement of He over yesterday. The provision market was weak for a short time near the beginning of the session, but strengthened with the improvement in wheat, corn and oats. Pork, lard and r'bs closed 10c higher than yesterday.
