CORN WAS FIRM WITH NO BUSINESS DM * IVcro Fairly ActUo nml the Tone IVai Ia ! lcr on All Deliveries with the Exception of September. CHICAGO. May 13. Helped by crop dam- use reports , wheat resisted bearish news and liquidation today , winding up with a naln of IHo ; July corn Rained He ; July oats lost ' .4c , nnd provisions made sIlRht gains. Wheat opened nt a flight decline , partly on account of the change from unseasonable heat to comparative cold , being considered rather benenclal than otherwise for the Brewing crops. The week's shipments from IlUBsIa amounted to the unusually heavy total of 5,200,000 bu. , and that Information wap In the hands of people at the seaboard before the opening , but did not become pub lic until half nn hour afterward , nnd then upon their advance Information regarding tlio Husslan Hhlpments that they had mis calculated Its effect upon the crowd. Krom ( Me nnd Cl'ic ' nt the opening , the price of July wheat had gradually ilsen to around Uc , and was at the latter point when the Kusslan shipments were made known , but the price broke to CIHc only nt that time , nnd again recovered to Its previous highest price , although It had another nnd further dccllne'latcr. The visible supply statement showed a decrease of 2,573,0,0 bu. , against le4G,000 bn. on the corresponding week of the year before. The market came under the Influence of heavy shipments from other countries and the price of July dropped to C3c In a hurry , but made even greater haste In Retting nark to a higher point than before. Krom fflTic It advanced at C5V4c In about fifteen minutes. Export clearances of wheat nnd Hour since Saturday from At lantic ports were 191,000 hu. The primary market receipts wer ? 225,000 bu. , compared with 205,000 bu .on th ? corresponding day of the year before. The opening cable brought higher quotations from Liverpool nnd Hcr- lln , but owing probably to the heavy ship ments headed toward them last week they lost about all of the early gain. The crop reports from Illinois , Michigan nnd MlH- Bourl were very unsat'sfactory. Every com mission house with connections In those Btntcs had reports of poor , nnd In many cases very poor prospects for winter wheat. KiuisnH Is reckoned as belnn complet-ly out of the count among the winter wheat rais ing states this year. The poor crop pros pects nnd the disappearing visible was so ntrong a combination for ilio short sellers the price advanced near the close to O5',4c , nnd It wound up nt G.Vtc. Corn was dull and llrm , without showing much Independence of action. It had a range In price for July of from 601 c to tie , nnd closed within 1-lGc of the top , the closing strength b3lng duo to sympathy with the firmness of the wheat market. The seaboard sent bullish dispatches and reports of Rome export Inquiry and clear ances of 100,00) bu , from Newport Newn. The visible supply decreased 1,373,000 bu. , compared with a decrease of 1,439,000 hu. a year ngo. The local recelptB were 2CC cars. A fairly active market was recorded for oats. The tone was easier on nil deliveries , with the exception of September. There was a very Rood demand for that month and nt the close an advance of HO was scored. May , 189G , was also very strong under good buying. Provisions were without life or Interest nnd the advance In pork of r > c nnd Irl lord and ribs of 24c ! appeared to be duo entirely to Rtroncth In wheat.

TO BULLETS IN HIS HEAD Missouri State Ssimti is Now Short One of Its Members- WOMAN WHO DID THE SHOOTING INSANE I'etcr U. MorrUscy of St. Louis Sluln In n Homo of 111 Fnmo by Miuid I.e.nil , \\lia Is Nn\r Violently Crnijr. ST. LOUIS , May 13. Stnto Senator Peter II. Morrlssey was shot and Instantly killed at 3:30 : this morning by Maud Lewis , his mistress , Tlio tragedy was enacted In her room on the second floor at 2719 Washington avenue. Morrlssey went to the house nt a very late hour nnd had retired when the crime was committed , The woman has been mentally unbalanced for some time , accordIng - Ing to the statements of her neighbors. She Is supposed to have been Insane at the time. The first Information the neighbors had of the tragedy was from the woman's screams. They ran In and found her In a frenzy of grief and terror , bending over the body , nnd calling on "I'eto to come back. " The first witnesses on the scene could gain ru Information from her as to the precise manner In which the murder was accom plished , but everything Indicated that Mor rlssey was asleep when he met his death. The weapon used by Maud Lewis was nn American bulldog revolver of 3S-callber. Two tliots were fired , one entering the mouth and the other penetrating the brain through the left eye. Death was Instantaneous. As soon as the neighbors ascertained th.it Maud Lewis was the principal In the tragedy they sent word to the Four Courts and Detectives Jim Smith' and John Howard were dispatched to the place. They were unable n get a coherent statement from the woman , whoso ravings became more violent and desperate every minute. They had her sent to the city hospital In a patrol wagon and permitted an undertaker to t ke charge of the body. The deceased was born In St. Louis August 14 , ISG'J , and wus educated at the St. Louis university. In 1S85 he was elected to the municipal assembly by the democrats and at the time of his death he was a member of the Missouri state senate. Ills business was that of a saloon and lodging house keeper. Morrlssey lived with his father , mother and sister In rooms over his saloon , southeast corner of Eleventh street and Olark avenue. He was a single man about 35 years of age. At the city hospital soon after Maud Lewis was received there It was stated that she was violently crazy , though whether her con dition was due to remorse for her act or antedated the crime could not then be ascer tained. Maud Lewis IB 25 years old and was born and reared In St. Louis. She Is said to have come of a good family. She was In the city hospital from August 28 to Seplem- her 10 of last year , suffering from hysteria. Morrlssey was notorious as a crooked worker at the polls. Ten years ago he was Indicted for ballot stuffllng , but the Influence of the leaders of the party kept him out of the penitentiary. Two other girls , Lillian Moss and Emma Lewis , who were Inmates of the house , and the colored porter , were placed under ar rest. rest.The The women In the house said that Immedi ately on Morrissey's arrival he and the Lewis woman had quarreled , but they had not con- sldered their differences as serious. Mor rlssey had started the altercation by telling Maud Lewis "that he had another woman on Twentieth street. " She answered that she knew It , and she supposed Morrlssey would marry that woman , adding , according to the statements of Night Chief of Police Heeily's Informants : "I don't care If you do marry hpr ; and you can bring her here , and I will jive you my room , but I tell you this there .vlll be a dsad Irishman around here. " The woman , Maud Lewie , was taken from the city hospital at noon and placed In a cell at the Four Courts. She professed Innocence. Morrlssey had Intended leaving this mornIng - Ing for Cincinnati In response to a telegram rjceived Sunday from his sister , Mrs. McDermott - mott , stating that her husband was dying and asking that some member of her family come to her at once. A special to the Post-Dispatch from Jeffer son City , Mo. , says : The killing of Sena tor Peter H. Morrlssey created a profound sensation among the senators who are here. The question at once arose , what effect will it have In the senate ? It leaves the demo crats with only eighteen senators , Just enough to paw a bill , If all of them are In their seats. Ten days notice of a special elec. tlon must be- given , so that it seems Im possible that his successor could be elected In time to take his seat this session. De- fore ( saving for St. Louis last Friday Senator Morrlssey left Instructions with Senator Basket ! , chairman of the committee on labor , to send him word whenever he was needed and he would return Immediately.
