CHICAGO , Mny 12. Wheat bulls had t
BtrotiR Inning toilny , Inntlng about nn hour
nnd then the bears went In nnd were sill
Imttlng In nn Irresolute way ut the close ,
the score stnndlng Uc In tholr fnvor nt the
cnll of time. Crop damage reports cnuseC
the enrly strength nnd realizing ns the prln
clp.il reason for the decline. Corn was a
Bhmle easier nntl ytc lower In the end. Onti
nlso lost a trllle , but nvcragcd firm. 1'rovl-
slons wcro rnther wcnlccr , but changes Ir
prices wcro In the end very slight.
For a few moments nfter trading started
In the wheat pit the market showed signs
of weakness , not from nny particular cause
outslile of the nlmoit perfect weather , but
from n belief that nome substantial reaction
from the advance of the pant few days was
about due. Tills feeling , although not InkIng -
Ing on the proportions of n general move
ment , was Hiilllclent .to cause July to open
n slmdi ! lower at from 73)4c to 736c ! and to
foroo It down soon nftcr to 7V/ic. Only fern
n short time , however , wus the weakness
nppnrrnt. It was the same old story of crop
disaster , not only at home lint abroad , ami
the Inlying which started on these reports
nnd which Increased In volume as the ses
sion progressed , carried the price Up to 7474C
before 11 o'clock. Damage reports from
California were of the umial gloomy clwr-
nclor , but those from Illinois wcro still
darker. The nren sown lust fall was 1,719,000
iicrcn , nnd of that standing1 , according to
the stnto report , fi20COO acres. The condition
of Ihi ! imall remainder Is si , Indicating
roughly a crop of about 4,000 , 10 1m. , com
pared with a. yield last year of 23,700,000 bu.
from nn ncrongo of 1,910,000. It wns
nald that the Krcnrh crop would show a 20
per cent shortage from last year , which , If
true , would compel that country to export
nt least ( ifl.AOO.fXX ) bu. Chicago rccnlpts wuro
Zf cars , Minneapolis and Duluth received
"fit carloads , compared with 31 it ycnr ago
anil IK2 on the corresponding day of the year
before. Clearances of wheat and flour from
Atlantic ! ports were criuiil to I.ri7,000 bu. New
York reported a good demand for whPitt on
foreign account , lly the lime the price had
reached 74c shorts had about disappeared
and reports of showers In California easily
broke the market to 73T > , c. Thtao reports
were afterward contradicted nnd n recovery
I * to 73)ic ensued. That wns the price asked
at the close.
Corn wns Mrm during a greater part of the
session nnd only eased oft when wheat
weakened. Country houses did most of the
selling. The cash trade was good and did
much to Mteady the mnrk t. Kxports
amounted to r.31,000 bu. July opened a shade
lower nt 2oc , sold to 25H T:3 > fc' and broke
to 2. > Vdc , closing easy t from 25lie to 2. " > Uc.
Oats was strong cnrly on covering nnd
with wheat. The ma-ket yielded later on
realizing , the. selling becoming heavy after
the decline started. The shipping demand ,
HO sharp all week , showed n pause today.
July opened a shade lower nt from ISlfco to
IStfc , sold between IStfGlSc nnd closed nt
jS'/dc ' asked.
Provisions were easier nt the opening on
Jlbernl hog receipts hero and fnither west.
Trading was very dull , but enough support
wns given the market to cnuse a slight re-
° very of the Intltlal decline , except in lard.

NEW YORK , May 12. Today's mnrket for

( hatever strength wan generally manifested not
'Utlustlnir ' very long the close of the London
xchange and the strength reflected from there ,
ifhlcli was , however , less marked Uinn yester-
ay. Jxmdon iilso was again n purchaser of
ecurllles In this market , though not In co large
volume us yesterday. Some purchases were
Iso knld to be for Holland account. The stocks
ought bv .the foreigners were Union Paclllc ,

ullc & Western. Home sale for foreign account
ere also made. The selling movement In Su-

ay. Sugar being1 fold on reports of Jenpnrily

lint expected beneficial legislation could be en-

llncn In those stocks that tlie depression tnread

rudliig was In part due to the expected nn-
ouncemeut of further gold tdilpinvnta , but thcsu

SAN FHANCISCO. May 12. Wlillo the
San Francisco police were scouring the world
for the record of the murderer of I'hllopena
Langfcldt there remained unknown to them
a chapter In his life the scene of which
wns lalrl In San Francisco. Joseph Edward
Blanther waa married In San Francisco
March 23 , 1887 , to Irene E. Campbell , by
Rev. Father John B. Cottle , then assistant
rector of St. Mary's church. The fact of
his marriage hero was completely hidden
from the police and would probably have
never been heard of but for a desire of the
widow to obtain the contentsof a certain
tin box which she thinks the police of this
city have In their possession. The first In
timation of the fact came In a letter from
the widow's attorney , J , L. Hudson of Houa-
ton , Tex. It Is highly probable that the police
are mistaken now In the belief that the
woman with whom Rlanther lived while In
Chicago wn Annie Walker. It Is much
more probable that the woman was Irene
Campbell. This woman Is the fifth to claim
wlfehood wltb Illanther.
