LIKE Ä SKY-ROCKET

Upward Shot Prices in the Chicago Market, When Wheat Made a Jump of Three Cents. SCENE OF WILD ACTIVITY. -The Frightened Shorts Rush to Cover, &ut Finally Recover Their Lost Courage. iFroapeets of it Cold Wät Brlnr .' About the Advance, tlie Talk Erent- , nallr Developing? Into n. LargeSized Scare What the Doom Mrnm to Holder of Wheat Forced to Kn- ; tiurr a. Dig ShrlnVaee. CHICAGO. March 2. Wheat jumped cents today on the prospects of a coll pwave. The scare started a. wild rush to cover amonc shorts and with the trading: board and the pit a scene of wild "activity. Prices went up like a sky-rocket. The commission houses pressed Lall their people into service in the pit and there was every indication that vheat had at last bounced out of the nit fin which it has so long been traveling. :"The start was mildly bullish. May bergan higher, at 5S"ic, but within a !few moments the cold wave talk developed into a scare and the price went ::p In long jumps until May landed at fl'sC. So much wheat came out at the 'advance that the frightened shorts befgan to regain their lost courage and the incitement subsided Fcrnewhat. The : Trice sagged back to 60 but the bull continued to howl crop damage and the bears seemed unable to muster sufficient 'nerve to carry the prl-e lower. May became more quiet, but held steady nrir 60sc, or 2 cents aboue the price. Corn was firm in sympathy with the sensational advance in wheat, but did not 'fhw the activity of that market. May -opened 'no higher, at 'öVz advanced "v. und reacted to ST'c. Oats, firm: May. . S1-"V- Provisions wer steady, aided by the strength in wheat and steady price. ,'for live hogs. May pork opened 22' higher, at $lt.r..". soil up 10 cents, and rear ted to $n.:.. May lard. $.S7li. The big advance today disclosed the faci that the local market was heavily oversell. The professionals on 'change vere short up to their chins and when a general movement to cover set in the result was an instantaneous bulge. For several day? the boars on the floor, who outnumber the bulls ten to one. have been belittling the cold weather and Irying to deceive themselves into thinking that zero weather was just what the Wheat plant needed to Insure a full crop. All the time they were going alx-ut trying to buy wheat without disturbing the market, so as to till their outstanding contracts. On every "soft spot they bought lavishly. When today's advance began a fcn of wiltl excitement ensued in the pit and the traders fairly fell over each other- in t heir anxiety to buy. The pit coon filled up with c-lerkT an 1 traders and the news of the excitement, which Fcon reached the street, rapidly tilled the Visitors' gallery with spectators. Fortunately a jvoint was reached at which some of the bulls who had ben carrying wheat through a painful swe.it wore wtlling to let the desperate bidders have a little. The last hour witnessed some cessation in the excitement, but an enormous business passing right along and the market closed with a large part of the adVance held. The boom today means a great deal Xo the holders of wheat. They have 'Jbeen forced to endure tremendous shrin'cge in values and pay for carrying the property beside. The decline in price was nearly 20 cents a bushel and the carrying charges were 15 to 20 cents a bushel, making a total of 35 to 40 cents a bushel which was borne by the bull Fpeculators. On lal stocks alone this loss amounts to between $7."00.0o0 and $3,000.000. The advance today carries he cash price up over Gc a bushel, stocks of wheat in Chicago warehouse end loaded in vessels in the river approximate ".".ooo.COC bushels. A five-cont rally, therefore, means a difference of JH.200.0Oi on the cah grain alone to the "bulls. This day's work elone adds $7""o.tor) 'to the value of Chicago stocks. Th Rrnour.t of wheat that was covered toay was heavy, possibly footing up to 3.0.000,000. but tho?e who av familiar svith the trade laugh at the claim heard jn certain quarters that the sh rts were all run in on today's bulge. It would lake a week of s-ready buying to liquidate such a terrific short interest a this market has developed as a resu't f lx months' trading in the Mav option. Capt. Phillips was one of the -first to ttake alarm today. Seeing early in the "week that the local crowd was oversold and being a trifle lame, he concluded to rtart at one in hU r;.ce for cover, lie "bought In the last of his wheat th's imorning among the first. Kaufman, the big St. Louis bear plunger, has, it is faJd. also been a heavy buyer for two days. The Cudahy brokers bought ail day long. WHEAT QIITS FIRM tWlfb. Periods of Weakness Dnrlujr the Dar. CHICAGO, April 2. Wheat averaged firm, with an interval of midday weakness sandwiched between early and late Ctrength and closed !4c higher. There "was more rellHn.ce placed i:i the reports cf crop damage, hich came in shoals from all directions. If the states of llissouri and Kansas do not get copious warm rains within the next ten days rot much hope will be left, reports said, cf even half a crop. Corn and provisions were weak. The weakness in all three was occasioned by too lib3ral receipts. Wheat opened easy at alut c lower than it closed on List Saturday, but toon recovered and ruled firm until after the visible supply statement showed a. smaller decrease than had been looked for. The opening for May was at from lJ'äc to 60c compared with COVgC at the close on Saturday. There was an improvement during the morninsr t GOc, but when the visible howed a decrease cf only 705,000 bushels Instead of l.Ooo.OOO. it dropied back to 63c. The reports from the country concerning the effect of the freeze upon the plants were the governing Influences following the easiness at the owning. Pardridge and th? visible supply statement were the influences which followed. The former's house wa selling wheat freely during the forenoon, and the effect that that had on the market was considerable; The Liverpool market was quoted firm at the opening. The amount on ocean passage increased 3S4.0O0 bushels during the past wee". Liverpool tocks for the same time increased 37,000 bushels and since March 1 decreased 1.600,000 bushels. The total stock of wheat In Liverpool fr the same time lnc rented 37,000 bushels and since March 1 decreased 1.600,000 bushels. The total etock of wheat In Liverpool now is 1,996,-. 000 centals.

--ill auriiifi, VII iu- ui I "l Wlc .'ivitiInent commission houses to cover pome wheat sold early In the day discovered th fact of the crowd having no more for pale, and thre then occurred a lively rally, which left May at 60c, or r. gain for the day. There was a fair attendance in the corn pit and a moderate amount of trading. Th tendency was in the main toward lower prices. The receipts wer "2" cars, and the estimate for tomorrow 43 cars. The price cf May at the start was STHc. compared with Silent the clcsc on Saturday. There was a slightly hardening tendency while th early advance in wheat was In progress, and as high as ZHfi "IT'jgC was realized for a little at that. time. With the rubsequent weaker feeling In wheat the price of May corn dropped back to Xic. The final rally in wheat brought mm b k to 37"fe at the close, showing loss. There was a moderately active business transacted in oats, and the market on all deliver., with the exception of July, ruled a shade easier in sympathy with the wheat and corn markets. May opened off 14 c from Saturday's last quotation at 31c and weakened still further to zrc. jt sold up again to SO" ft 31c and was offered at that price at the clos. There was only a light trade done in the provision pit and the feeling was rather heavy. The heaviness was due to a large run of hogs reported from the yards. The receipts today were 44.000 head and prices were quoted from 10 to 15e lower. A little buying caused a late rally and the list closed firm. Compared with Saturday night. May pork is 10c lower. May lard unchanged and May rlbs .V lower. The ratlronds restored east-bound rates to New York today to the regular tariff. 20c per lot) pounds, on flour and grain and 30c on provisions.

This latter item anil linn cables caused a stronger feeling after the first few sales, and advanced prices e per bushel. Pardrise was a lilral seller, but his offerings were -eadily taken by the crowd. The market soon quieted down until after the visible was posted. wh!ch caused rather a bearish feeling. May selling down to h'-u-'c l'rimary shipments were very large, owing to the opening of navigation. anc by the end cf the month it Is expected our local stocks will be reduced considerably. The flour trade in the South and Southwest will probably be greatly curtailed on account of an advance in freights, and will neces- ! sarily shut down some mills.

It is estimated that at least 130.000 persons of all classes walked pa.t th? catafalque. Several impressive incidents marked the day. One was the visit of a lanre number of maidens from Transylvania clad wholly in white, who deposited wreaths on the coffin. The veteran Honved Hussars al.-o attracted much attention. The .1.000 inhabitants of Czegled, who walked in a body the long distance from there to Buda-Pesth in order to pay their last token of respect and love to the great Hungarian, arrived safely and their visit to the hall was one of the noteworthy incidents of the day. The streets were thronged the whole night by constantly arriving' deputations. The funeral services were held in the vestibule of the national museum in the preser.-.e of the Lutheran bishops, members of the Hungarian diet and the Hungarian magnates. After the singing of the national anthem, in which all present joined. Bishop Sarkany delivered an oration in which he eloquently extolled the patroitic services of Kossuth. Maurice Jokai, one of the leading Hungarian writers and a member of the diet, followed, speaking on behalf of the lower house, lie dwell at length upon the selfsacrifice Kossuth had made for his country, concluding with a touching farewell to the dead patriot. His words moved many of his audience to tears. When the funeral services at the museum had been concluded the cottin was conveyed to the funeral car, to which were r.ttached eight horses. In the funeral procession were twenty special cars bearing between 2.000 and 3.000 funeral wreaths. Then followed 600 Honveds. All wore medals. The streets through which it passed were- densely crowded. Not a window nor a roof along the route was unoccupied. Business, much of which is usually done in Puda-Pesth on Sundays, wa.s at a complete standstill, all the business bouses being closed. Everybody wore mourning and the city presented e. scene that was never before witnessed here. Throughout the march from the national museum to the cemetery Kossuth's sors, Fritz and Louis, walked behind the coffin. They were surrounded by a detachment of students carrying the principal wreaths. VAS Ä SAD REUNION. MRS. CROXKIIITE FIXDS IIETt HCS1IAM1 REIIIM) PRISON BARS.

O'Callahan delivered a nlost powerful and impressive sermon before a cmwded congi cgati"u. The occasion was a monmrabb one. Wing the lirst really cordial recognition Harvard has ever given a Roman tatholic priest, though there have been informal addresses before this. President Cliarl-s W. Kliot and hundreds of Harvard students, besides many outside people, filled the chapel t overflowing. Father O'Callahan graduated from Harvard in 1I1 class of '88. He is now a member of th Paulist order and well known in NewYork. His text was from the niri"tvthlrd psalm: "Thy testimonies are becoming exceedingly credibl"." "Rationalism in Faith." was th subject of the sermon. Referring to ths words of St. Augustine "Credo Qu is Incredible Kst." the speaker said that which contradicts reason cannot be accepted by a man of reason. The evident meaning cf the phrase was that truth about God must uf necessity be so ineffably sublime that reason could never fully grasp it. Unenlightened reason could not know enugh of God to satisfy the cravings of the human soul. Divine revelation was as necessary for supernatural faith as knowledge was for Intelligence. Rationalism too frequently wished to have us think that it monopolized th rational. The sermon as a whole was close and technical in its line of argument, the effect of which was to demonstrate that the appetite for God, tho instinct of faith is native to the s.-u!. and, therefore, rational and reasonable. Father O'Callahan closed by saying: "While God Is present all will !- well with us. And if we keep our hearts clean for the clean of heart shall se God the dark glass of evil will reveal more truth to us than the deepest thought of philosophies and God'M testimonies will become exceeding: creditable."
