CHICAGO , May 23. With foreign marUcti
booming and domestic crop damage reportt
growing more and more numerous , wheal
and down over a 4c
j > lunned wildly up
range today , ending IVjC higher than yes
terday , with 7S ic for July. Corn was com.
paratlvely neglected and apparently upheld
by wheat. It only gained lie. Oats ruse
I'/ic ' on crop damages. Provisions suftcret
from ttio many hogs and lost lOc each It'
l > ork and lard and " 'Ac In ribs. The opening
In wheat was over a very wide range , am'
the scene In the pit transcended all receni
efforts at sensationalism. July , whlol
closed yesterday nt 77'ic ' and sold as high ai
VO'/io ' on the curb the samu afternoon , founi
hundreds clamorous for It at the start a
from 80o to Sic. Trading was heavy nt boll
prices ut the fame Instant In different parti
of the crowd , and the result was that tw <
or three had to bid Si-Vic In that Isolate , :
npot before they tempted any one to sell
The extreme advance , therefore , over tin
closing price of the day before was HVfcc
and that , added to yesterday's 3r ; c rise
made the gain from Tuesday afternoon tc
the opening this morning S c per bu. Th <
price surged up and down for an hour am
n half , during nil of which time broken
were buying or selling orders , took the when
they had orders to buy nt the price It wa :
offered , or fold at what was being bid with
out attempting to wait a single moment fo
a change which might be from Uc to w
tMir bu. against them. J. C. Schwartz , win
has been a Hcnwitlnnnl plunger in cor n
wheat for a year , failed to respond to mar
gin calls made upon him yesterday after
noon and did not pay his debit balance h
the clearing house. The buying In of wheat
on which ho was short , by those will
whom ho had traded , caused a rise In Jill ;
to 81Mc from around 80c , where It droppei
to after the opening bulge , and severa
other minor but yut consldcr.ili'p flurtmi
tlons. Hefore the excitement attending In
covering In of Schwartz's line of r-OO.uot ) bu
or so had subsided the price swelled to 82c
The cause principally contributory to th
additional excitement and sensational ad
vnnce today was the corroboratlon of th
worst that was previously reported of th
damage to the crop. It Is now almost unl
versally believed that the greatest part o
the great central area of the wheat bolt ha
Buffered nn amount of damapo from varlou
causes which will make this year's crop ;
very small one. In addition to that , th
Liverpool market was excited and from 3 <
to 4d per cental higher , which Is the equlvn
lent of about 3Hc or 4V c n-cr bu. The ad
vance , however , leaves the Liverpool prlc
Btlll about lOc below the equivalent here
Minneapolis and 1)ninth received 1K1 cart
compared with 271 n year ago. Bxpor
clearances from the Atlantic seaboard I
wheat and Hour together did not amount t
over 215,000 bu. , 184.000 bu. of which wa
wheat. After the bulge to 82o the tendenc
was In the main downward , but there wer
numerous quick , nervous rallies ns It slowl ,
nagged. In the last ten minutes of the Fes
Blon , however. It was knocked clean oft It
Btllts , making a tumble from around SIVic I
78V4c , or a decline of about 3c per bu. In th
time named. It recovered ! o to 7Sic , whlcl
was the closing price.
The corn market was weighted down b ;
heavy receipts 5UD cars today and 7uO car
for tomorrow. There was no shipping de
mand and the traders took comparatlvel
llttlu Interest In what was being character
Izcd as a dead deal. They went mostl
Into wheat. New York reported 150,000 bu
of corn taken for export. The opening prlc
for July was from 55V4c to 65ic , and It sol
almost Immediately at 5Gc. After that I
dropped gradually to D5c , where It closed.
The market for oats was wild and excite
at the opening. The only cause for sue !
however , was the Influence of wheat an
corn. No Independent features were to b
found. A big business was transactei
nevertheless. Commission houses consume
the greatest amount , but almost everybod
had orders to fill. The excitement was no
of very long duration. Toward noon trad
clacked up and was comparatively qulel
July opened % c higher , nt 30Uc , sold fror
that to 32c , and closed at 30ic. .
Provisions suffered from a plethora o
HORN. Today's run was 43,000 head and fo
tomorrow 29,000 head are expected. Th
week's packing In the west , according t
the Cincinnati Price Current , amounted t
315,000 head , compared with 200,000 head 1
the corresponding week of last year. Th
market got some support during the fore
noon from tha strength In wheat , hut who
it began to react and the hog products wer
left to themselves they tumulcd an4 th
end prices were lower.
Estimated receipts for Friday : Wheat , f
cars ; corn , 750 cars ; oats , 4CO cars , and 29.0C
head of hogs.

THUHSDAY , May 23. Tlecclptfl continue
comparatively liberal , and this Is especially
true of hogs , the supply for thc four days
this week footing up 4,234 cattle , 24,541 hogs
nnd 1.6CO sheep , against 3,015 , cattle , 17,770
hogs nnd 1,723 sheep for corresponding
period last week.
Eight of the thirty-seven cars of catlle
received wcro billed direct to local houses
from Kansas City , anil the remainder con
sisted of butcher stock und stock cattle.
No choice fed steers on sale. The trade
was sluggliAh owing partly to the monger
offerings nnd to the fact that eastern mar
kets were reported weak. However , there
was no quotable change In price on any
thing suitable for killing.
There wns some Inquiry for fat butcher
stock and fleshy cows and heifers found
ready sale nt fully steady prices. There
was also no special change In the market
on calves , bulls , oxen , stags , etc.
Dealers were quoting prices 15c to 23c lower
on stock cattle today and the decline this
week Is 30c to 60c. The supply was not very
large , but owing to the slack demand wns
fully equal to the needs of the market. Good
to choice feeders are quotable nt J3.-IOO3.SO ;
fair to good , $3.0003.40. and common grades

William McGregor wns arrested last night
for assaulting J. H. Lindsay nt SIxteenlh
ami Webster streets. Lindsay was struck
only once , but his face presents the np-
penrance of having had several minutes'
nctlve engagement with a buzz saw. Ho
thinks McGregor struck him with a pair of
knuckles.
Lindsay Is a portrait dealer mod has In his
employ several canvassers. Up to a week
npo McGregor was one of these , but Lind
say claims that nt that time he discovered
that McGregor had collected over $100 ,
which he put Into his own pocket. He found
him In Beatrice and had him arrested there
for embezzlement , but on a technicality , ho
claims , McGregor was released. Since that
time he hus not met McGregor until last
night , at which time the latter proceeded
to obtain satisfaction for his arrest.

A , L. Ilrnlnnrd , licnj bookkeeper and con
fidential clerk for Harrow , Kelly & Co. , Is
missing and his accounts arc tald lo be short ,
Tlio firm estimates the shortage at about
$10,000. An expert Is working on the books
and bank check stubs now and the ullcgeO
shortage may bo Increased.
On Friday lost llralnard asked leave to go
to Missouri to see a man named 1'atten. He
claimed that Patten had a scheme on foot
whereby the two could make seine money.
Permission for a short leave of absence was
granted. Uralnard did not return to Ills desk
on Monday , us agreed , and It was thought by
Harrow & Kelly that perhaps a business vcn-
lure had detained him longer than he hud
anticipated when lie lett , so a telegram was
sent to Patten at King Grove , Mo. An answer
came back frum Mrs. Patten , saying that her
husband and Mr. Uralnard had gone Into tlio
country , bnl would be back In a day or two.
Advice's also reached Captain Kelly that
Uralnard was seen In Chicago on Saturday
afternoon. It Is thought by the members ot
the firm that Uralnard never went to Mis
souri , but struck out for tlio east , and that
Patten was an accomplice.
There Is a custom among commission men
that all business b < transacted by cluck , no
matter how small the deal. On Friday , after
Uralnard had applied for a short vacation , Mr.
Oarrow asked his bookkeeper for $1. Uraln
ard handed the money out ot his pocket and
said that he would draw a check for the
amount and cliargo It to Harrow's account.
Tha check was drawn lor $1,500 , while the
check book stub shows only $1.
Several other checks were drawn that day ,
aggregating $2,600 In all. When presenting
the checks to the paying teller at the bank
Uralnard remarked that he had a lot of Iowa
farmer customers In and that - they wanted
currency , as they had to meet some b.lls ab-ut
the exchange and In town.
Dralnard was an expert bookkeeper nnd h'a
books are all straight , but the checks Issued
do not correspond with the amounts noted on
the stubs.
Colonel Harrow said yesterday that
Uralnard had worked for him nlno years and
that he had all the confidence In the world
In him. All of the business checks wcro
signed by Uralnard. Ho was a great society
man , belonging to card clubs and frequently
entertained at his home , Twenty-third and II
streets. He left a wife and one child.
It was a great surprise at the Exchange
yesterday when the announcement was
made that Al Dralnard had skipped with
money belonging to the firm. Just how long
this crooked work lias been going on the firm
docs not know , but the books will bo gone
over thoroughly. It Is reported that Pinkerton -
ton men will bo employed to find Uralnard
and If possible recover some of the money.
As a rule the missing man was very tem
perate , rarely drinking anything. The mem
bers of the firm think , however , that ho last
considerable money In speculation.
Messrs. Harrow & Kelly state that the loss
will not Interfere In any way with their busi
ness.
DID NOT GO TO MISSOURI.
The only topic of conversation at the exchange -
change yesterday was the story of Al
Uralnard's defalcation and flight. Every one
was more than surprised , as Uralnard was
supposed to bo a moid young man. When
the absconding bookkeeper left ho said he
was going to Missouri , but it is proven al
most beyond a doubt that ho never went near
the state. Mrs. Patten telegraphed to Garrow
& Kelly that her husband had gone out into
the country with Mr. Uralnard , and would
not be back for a day or two. This answer
did not satisfy Captain Kelly , and a man was
sent to Darlington , Mo. , to see Patten and
flml out what was tlie matter with the missIng -
Ing man. Kelly's emissary found Patten all
right , but ho declared that Uralnard has not
been near the place.
An informal meeting of the LIve Stock ex
change was held yesterday afternoon , and it
was decided to offer a reward of $500 for the
capture of the embezzler. It was claimed
after the meeting , however , that thin action
was not legal , and another meeting may be
held.
held.Uralnard
Uralnard was never a frequenter-of gam
bling dens , but It Is said about the exchange
that he was very fond of a quiet gamu of
draw , and played with a few friends In his
private ofllco after business for the day was
over. Generally most of tlio business men at
the exchange leave for home about 4 o'clock ,
but of late Uralnard's neighbors have noticed
that he seldom como homo before dark.
Several times Cashier McPherson has re
marks ! to Uralnard that ho was using lots
of currency , and the answer was always the
same , he had a bunch of Iowa customers who
wanted cash. Harrow , Kelly & Co. now esti
mate their loss at $7,700 , but when the books
are thoroughly overhauled It may bo more.
Mrs. Uralnard and her daughter are heart
broken over the affair , and at first refused to
believe the statements made by the 11 rm and
others.
