MAY BROKE 2 CENTS HEAVY SELLEIfG IN "WHEAT IX THE FACE OP DULLISH CROP REPORT. Weaknes in Leading Cereal Devcl oped Shortly After the Opening Other Markets In Sympathy. CHICAGO. April ll.IJlstory repeated it Self In the wheat pit to-day. A bullish gov ernment report was issued yesterday after noon, and tho price for May broke 2c per bu from the point it touched at the opening, and closed with a net loss for the day of lUc Corn and oats suffered from the weakness of wheat and the favorable growing weather. Provisions were steady for lard and ribs and strong for pork. Wheat opened strong at from GCQCGc Xor May, but the miscellaneous buying, which was the conspicuous feature of the first min ute's trading, was met by heavy selling by nearly all the big bears on the floor. In an tour from the start a decline to 63ic had occurred. The Liverpool market was quoted Hd higher, on account of our government crop report. Berlin was up from li to l marks, probably on -the same account. The week's shipments from Argentina were SSO.000 bu, compared with 2,216,000 bu In the corresponding week of the year before. The clearances from both coasts of this country for the week were 1.7G4.000 bu. against 1.C33.000 bu la the week before and 2,934.000 bu in the corresponding week of the year before. The bulls entirely lost heart when they saw how easy the bears found it to put the price down to the previous day's closing prices, and about an hour from the clo?e they besm gradually to get rid of their lonjr wheat. Twenty minutes from the close May wheat was selling at Gt-;c. or 2z below the price it was bringing at the opening, and the litest trading was at the lowest point of the day's ran sc. The opening strength of th wheat market held corn for a time to the-level of the price it closed at yesterday. The fine weather and the break into the price of wheat had the natural effect of such a bearish combination. The resulting decline in the price of corn was measured by 3-16o per bu. The opening price for May was SOOc. and the lowest and closing rate was 2&ilt2&c. at which price there were buyers as the bell tapped. Another active session was passed in the oats market, and the volume of business was even heavier than yesterday. May opened at lOc. sold to 19-.-2C and closed at VJ'-tfaWiC a decline of ic Irom yesterday. July ranged from 20;,8c to liHifiWTic, ending ?o lower, with the latter price bid. Provisions were firm, the shorts in pork being the principal sustalners of prices. The receipts of hogs were a3 expected, and they met a good demand at a shade higher prices. Pork rose 20c per barrel, but closed with a gain of only T'jc per barrel. lard and ribs wt-re dull, and the former closed without c-hanse for the day and ribs a shade under yesterday's final prices. Estimated receipts for Monday are: Wheat, 15 cars; corn, 190 car?; oats, 135 cars: hogs. 5,000 head. Loading futures ranged as follows: Open- llign- Low- Clos Articles. Wheat-April ...

Trade Slowly Improving, tTitH Value Haling; Unusually Steady. The trade of the week, closing Saturday, was something of an Improvement over j any w?ek In March, still by no means in any line does It reach the expectations in volume. Traveling salesmen report stocks of retail merchants low, but their trade Is quiet, country people holding on to what money they have got until the outlook brightens and the prospects are better developed. In all lines prices rule unusually steady. Staple groceries have changed little in .weeks except sugars, which have adanced slightly. Dry gooJare steady, the declines of the last few weeks not being of much Importance. On Commission row the range of prices of all articles, except apples and cabbage, is considerably lower than In the corresponding period of 1235. Irish potatoes now sell at one-thivd the price they did In April last year. The seed market is active at unchanged prices. Poultry, eggs and butter are all weaker on increasing receipts and less-favorable rereports from the Eastern markets. The local grain market was more active last week on Increasing receipts. The week closed with all cereals a little higher than on Monday, but the change of. the week showed improvement one day and a decline the next, but the variations from day to day were slight The week closed with track bids ruling as follows: Wheat-No. 2 red, 70c; No. 3 red, GGtiSTc; wagon wheat, 6Dc.

SOCIETY IN AMERICA

AN ENGLISH PAPER DISCUSSES OUR CLASS DISTINCTIONS. It Thinks Our Aristocracy Unduly Privileged Use the Flngler Case . an an Illustration. London Spectator. Tho most marked difference between society in England and society in the United States is tho existence on the other side of the Atlantic of highly privileged classes. No one in western Europe, or, at all events, no one In France or England, is quite beyond tho law, for although a peer of Parliament can in cases of felony demand to be tried by the House of Lords, the "privilege" has not been claimed for fifty years, and would not, if It were claimed, shield the claimant from any consequence of his acts. The lay peers, we imagine, would not now vote, and the law Lords would form a terribly experienced and consequently stern tribunal. In America, if we may Judge from the reports of the law courts and the view of society given In all popular fiction, the case i3 widely different. It i3 very difficult to obtain Justice agaln3t a rich man who is also popular, or who, for any reason, has many around him whom he can benefit or injure. It Is not that he can bribe Judges or Jurymen, though there are cities in the States where thi3 allegation is frequently made, so much as that money buys lawyers who avail themselves of highly technical and tardy methods of procedure; that jurymen are most unwilling to convict "respected" or "powerful" citizens; that judges are unwilling to Incur unpopularity by heavy sentences on such men, and that governors are exceedingly ready to pardon or to dl mlnlsh penalties. Even in New England It appears to make the greatest difference to an accused person whether he has troops of friends or not, which in France or England would be a matter of no Importance, while in the wilder States that 13 the first thlhg a sheriff would consider. Positive resist ance to the law 'is probably unusual, though we think we could quote cases; but if an accused man is popular or very rich, or. for any reason, important to the community, and the crime is not one on which opinion is of iron hardness as it is, for example. in all cases of assault on women the jury is very apt to disagree, or the judge to give a very lenient sentence, or the prisoner to escape. The powerful are permitted to tiefend themselves by hiring armed detectives in a way which in Franco or England would be treated as levying civil war, and it has long been noted that in such cases the ver diets of Juries are almost invariably for ac quittal. Apart altogether from the influence of money, which it is impossible to prove, and which is probably exaggerated, there appears to be a great wish in the community that law should not be rigid; that it should be modified in each individual case by tho opinion of the public, and that In particular a special and lenient treatment should be applied to persons who are "respectable," or "prominent," or "valuable citizen:.-" A sentiment not far removed from the strange Italian pity for a criminal, as in a way a person marked by misfortune, appears in such cases to influence the whole community, and undoubtedly helps to develop that readiness to repair tne lauures or tne law by individual vengeance, which an Lngllsh man notices in most of the newspapers and all the social legends of the South and W est THE FLAGLER CASE. Take this case of Miss Flagler, daughter of Gen. W. Flagler, of Washington, reported in the New York Journal. Miss Flagler saw some colored boys robbing her father's orchard, fired at them with a pistol, and killed one lad of fifteen named Ernest Green. She was. of course, brought to trial. wo presume for manslaughter, and the bare facts must have been proved, for the judge Immediately sentenced her to Imprisonment for three hours and a fine of. 100, which her father, a man of large means, of course paid on the spot. Such a sentence seeni3 to Englishmen a direct denial of justice, but it is, of course, impossible at this 'distance. and In the absence of the witnesses, to say that there were not circumstances which, in the opinion of the judge, proved that the offense was rather in the nature of a melancholy accident than of a crime of any kind. e do not understand why, if that were the case, the judge did not return a verdict of acquittal; but still it docs occasionally happen that a Judge and public opinion differ as to the precise value of evi denco when Its object Is to prove what is never absolutely provable, namely, motive. e cannot, therefore, comment on the sen tence beyond saying that, as a sentence was pronounced, its lenity indicates that a very different value is placed on human life in Washington, even when it has been destroyed by mere recklessness or careless ness, than Is p.aced on it in Europe. There was, however, much difference of opinion in the States on the f ubject, a heated controversy arose, and the editor of the New York Journal adopted the odd expedient of asking twelve well-known ladles for their opinions. He wished, in fact, to impanel a female jury. The ladies gave answers in writing, and while five condemned Miss Flagler, not, of course, for murder, but for culpable carelessness in the use of dangerous weapons, seven, a majority, congratulated her on her escape or condemned the courts for allowing her to be brought to trial. That is wonderful enough, but it is not so amazing to our minds as the fact that of the twelve seven alluded plainly to the high social position of the accused either as a reason for acquittal or as a reason sure to operate unfairly on that side. The majority, in fact, beUeve. either with pleasure or in sorrow, that caste feeling has in America a distinct influence upon courts of justice. One lady, Mrs. A. M. Palmer, writes: "A woman in Miss Flagler's high social position could have no object or motive In injuring, even slightly, that poor little lad; that In itself should have cleared her at once in the minds of tho people. My heartfelt sympathies are with Miss Flagler and her family." In other words, high social position is of itself a guarantee that an accused person could have meant nothing wrong. Miss Clara Folz, a prominent female lawyer of New York, writes, sayinz just the same thing, but with deep regret: "The step is but a short one to the conclusion that the rich and high In place may secure favors that the poor and unknown cannot read.. Mrs. H. T. Collis writes: "The young lady was criminally careless, for she certainly shot nt the boy. She should have been punished for that. I do not know tiow old -the young lady was (nine teen), but she was undoubtedly o.d enough to be moro careful. If she had occupied another position than was hers she would probably have been punished to the full extent of the law." . ONLY CARELESS. Mrs. George Home Wheeler says: "I think the young woman was culpable In the care less use of the weapon. She should have been punished for such criminal carelessness. If she was guilty the punishment-Is a farce." While Mrs. E. Cady Stanton, a lady well known here as a warm advocate of woman's rights and of many philanthro pies, gives the following amazing opinion: "I am. delighted that Miss Flagler escaped with so slight a sentence. We women do not help to make the laws. Why should we be condemned to suffer .through them? Miss Flagler was surely a lady of refine ment and gentle breeding. I am confident that she had no thought of injuring the child. The parents of that child cannot possibly blame or condemn her. Poor young lady, it must have been a frightful shock to her. I don't think the judge should be criticised for being too lenient. He was only carrying out the accepted idea that women are weaklings, and therefore not capable of appreciating justice or Injustice. Usually, sad to think on. women suffer oftener from injustice; for example, witness Mrs. Maybrick's pathetic case. That woman was undeniably innocent. If a burglar should enter my house, to- frighten him I might Jflre a pistol, thinking to save my valuablei? If. by accident, I fatally wounded him, would it be Justice to imprison me? No. Miss Flakier was, in a way, protecting her property." Mrs. E. Cady Stanton is, we believe, a woman of strong religious feel ing, and would doubtless declare that she was bound to obey either the Ten Command ments or the Inner light always perceptible la her own conscience. Does she think that women decreed the one or created the other, and, if not. whence, on her theory, do they Hssr4ra ttiol enntlftnt A ftnoll? finAtKs V4.V44VV iULlt 4IUWik L4Vk4Ci, lady writes that she "does not believe any woman holding the petition or ilirs im-rizr would ccmralt murder izt Trfcici llizi I 13-

Papers nnd Macraclne Tlint Have Attained Enormous Circulation. Washington Special in Chicago Record. . I met yesterday Mr. Leonard, one of tlfe managers of the paper which claims' the largest circulation of any publication in the world, although I had never heard of it before. It Is a monthly, printed in colors, at Augusta, Me., and reached 1,250,000 circulation this spring, which is distributed through every State and Territory of the Union. The paper is called Comfort, and it was started only nine years ago by W. H. Gannett, of Augusta, who, when he began to prepare the1 copy for the first issUe, had never had the slightest experience either as an editor or a publisher. No line from his pen had ever appeared In print until the first copy of Comfort came off the press. He had failed as a farmer and as a merchant, and thinking that Journalism was his sphere, he decided to invest what money he had left in a paper for country people, and fixed the subscription price of 25 cents a year. Every line in the first seven or eight numbers he prepared himself and he did everything else connected with the publication except the setting the type and running ther presses, which he could not do because of his ignorance of the printer's art. but he made a hit and now employs first-class contributors and has a business that Is better than a gold mine. The paper always contains a story and has departments devoted to poetry, literature, history, farming, millinery, dressmaking, cooking, current events and everything else that will interest its constituents. There Is a corner for puzzles, cha rades and rebuses, a couple of columns are devoted exclusively to the children, and so much space is given every month to secret societies, temperance and religious news. The subscription price was raised to 50 cents a year about five years aso, and since then the circulation has steadily increased. On every publication day it requires three special trains of thirteen mail cars to carry the edition out of Augusta. The advertising rates are $5 an agate line, or $70 an inch, and the advertising space Is limited to fifteen columns. Mr. Leonard tells me that the Youth's Companion stands second of all the papers in the world for circulation, and has nearly one million paying subscribers. The Ladles' Home Journal, of Philadelphia. Is third, with nearly SC0.C03 copies, and Munsey's Magazine Is next, with over 600.CCO copies Issued monthly. Curiously enough, Mr. Gannett and Mr. Munsey ussd to be ntijhbors In Augusta, and neither fcf them wta educated In the publishing burners. While Mr. Gannett was tryir? to run a crccery ctore, Hr. llunrcy wcj :ct12zz a key In a tdrjrca cca ct ta llzlzi crl-
