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. Hog receipts today
wcrs 30,000 head nnd 21,000 head are th < -
estimated receipts for tomorrow.
Estimated for Tuesday : Wheat , 21 cars :
corn , 410 cars ; oats , ZS ) cars ; hogs , 21,000
head.

MONDAY , May 13.
Receipts todny. nil told , were 72 cnrs , 47
of entile , 23 of hoes , one of sheep nnd one
of horses. As compared with a week ngo
there was a slight Increase In both cattle
nnd hogs , with n falling oft In sheep sup-
The cattle supply was n little over 1,200
head nnd Included nothing that could be
called choice. Fair td pretty good would
about express the general quality of the re
ceipts. The nuirket wus very dull and un
satisfactory , with prices about n dime lower
than Saturday on uri average. Lower mar
kets cast made both dressed beef men and
shippers Indifferent and bearish , but buyers
said the dullness nnd "weakness was occa
sioned more by the generally Inferior qual
ity of the offerings than anything else. A
bunch of good fat 1.179-lb. beeves brought
$5.23 , and that was the top. The bulk of
the beef cattle said at around $1.10 to $5 ,
while $3.75 to $1.10 bought about nil the
western cattle offered.
The market for cow stuff was generally
steady. Offerings did not Include much over
half a dozen loads nnd buyers made short
work of them , UH cows of late have met
with u strong , active demand right along.
A bunch of very nice fat cows and heifers
averaging less than 700 Ibs. brought $4.10
" , , " ' " wns tllc low mark for ciinnera.
Calves wcro In good request and strong
nt from J3.60 to $ . 'i.60 , while bulls , stags , etc. ,
ruled slow and easier tit around $2.35 to $3.35.
O i account of th ? light supply of fctockers
and feeders the trade was quiet. There was
a good general demand , however , nnd a
strong inatket for everything offered. Good
to choice feedtrs are quotable at from $3.33
to $4 , fair to good from $3 to $3.33 , nnd com
mon grades Irom $3 down. Representative

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.
