CHICAGO , April 8. Tlio Spanish crisis and a sharp advance In corn made a strong market for wheat today , July closing at an advance of Tic. Tlio closing of tlie con tinental marketfl and many of the principal domestic exchanges made trading Vtere small all ilny. Corn wan atrong on n mtclclcn shut ting off of country offerings and closed % c higher. OaU was dull but firm and ad- Tranced % c. The clotting prices In provlHlons ehow little chang < ; from yesterday. The opening In wheat was steady , July starting at S3fjS4c , about where it left off yraterduy. Tno closing of Liverpool and the continental markets and nearly all the principal domestic exchanges took away from the market half of the usual Bpecula- ttve motive , and the pit at the opening , and for that matter during most of the session , wan not more t'nan half filled , Knough bulllnh news wag to hand to cause a moder ate demand to cover short contracts , and as offerings were even scarcer than buying orders the market for a time moved upward , July advancing to SlftSIKo from k3@S3T c , where It had sold Immediately after the opening. Northwest receipts were again light , Minneapolis and Dulufn reporting ar rivals of KiO cam , compared wll'n 215 last week and 3GI a year ago. Crop news from California wan fully as unfavorable as yes terday , but outside of this reports were generally favorable. The figures on the Ar gentine weekly wheat shipments depressed thu market for a time. Shipments last week were reported at 1.C72.0UO bu. , a big Increase over the previous week , and t'nls fact caused a little more selling pressure , put ting the price back to Soc. After that the market ruled strong to the end. The Cuban situation , so long n depressing factor In wheat , has now apparently become a bullish Influence. Many buyers expressed the belief fnat hostilities would result In an advance of prices and acted according to their belief. Additional strength was given to the market late In the day by the ad vance which was taking place In corn , causing more or less sympathetic buying nnd sustaining prices ngalnst the occasional pressure by professional shorts and t'ne In evitable liquidation which comes on the market dining periods of dullness. The de mand Improved during the afternoon , the fe J market becoming strong under moderate tseneral buying , July .finally advanced to SI-WSITtc nnd closed firm at Slftc. There was a brisk demand for corn and the market was strong rill day. There were almost no country offerings , due. It was ( talil , to war nppre'nenslon , nnd this fact drove In a good many of the big shorts. As the market advanced the buying became Konoral nnd was kept up to the end. May ranged from SOc to SS'/ic and closed % c higher at SOc. Oats was dull but firm. The market was helped a good deal by the advance In corn ami also by t'ne excellent cash demand. Shippers were the best buyers. There was also a moderate short demand. May ranged from 25 > 4c to 25 ? > c and closed % c higher at Provisions were decidedly dull. Weak hog prices were responsible for an openlnq decline In provisions , packers being the sell ers early. The strength of corn nnd re ports of large government Inquiries for products caused a better demand later and t'ne decline was recovered. The close was steady , May pork unchanged at $9.8214 , Hay lard a nhado higher at J5.17'/4 and May rlba CHc higher at * 3.17J4. Estimated receipts Saturday : Wheat.

Totals . 1,831 4.31C 3,032 Today's receipts of live stock were very Ight even for a Friday ; fnerc bolng a fall- ng off as compared with ono and two weeks a o of forty to fifty cars. The mar kets as 11 whole were In pretty fair shape , values for the most part being entirely sat isfactory to the selling Interests , nnd the movement active except In the case of corn- Ted steers. For the week to date fncre has been a heavy falling off In the arrivals of cattle , while hogs liavo pretty nearly held their own. Sheep nlono' have s'nown gains over the record established last week. CATTLK Today's reeolpts of cattle so far as numbers reported lit the yards are concerned were noti much different from yesterday or a week ago. The number of cattle actually on sale- however , was much smaller , as a packer received thirteen loads direct , which cut down the offerings very materially. According to the reports of buyers the kind of fat steers In the yards was none too desirable on an i average , that Is they did not look especially good to them. The c'nlef bear argument , however , was that cattle have been selling too high here as compared with the prices paid at other selling points. The cattle that have gone t'nroueh from here to Chicago have demon strated that there has tteen only a slight margin between the" two points. It has been remarked by 'old operators on this market that cattle hfive on some days this week sold nearer Chicago prices' than ever before. As a result , ot/thls ( condition of the market s'nlppers have dropped out , as there. was not margin 'enough for them to operate upon nnd local packers had It all to themselves today. As was to bo ex pected under the circumstances they started out bidding easier prices and the trade opened slow and draggy. Salesmen were all asking good strong prices for their hold- Iras , or more than buyers were willing to pay , and It required some , little time for them to get together .on a trading basis. There were so few cattle , however , while the demand was of fair proportions , that the buyers finally cleaned up the yards and the prices paid In t'ne end were not much different from yesterday. IJutchers' stock was In limited supply. something like a dozen loads of cows and heifers constituting about all there was here today. The demand however , was as largo as ever and the natural outcome was a strong and active market. The buyers got down to business at once and practi cally everything was sold and weighed up at a very early hour. The close , If any thing , was firmer than the opening. The prices at which , good caws and heifers are selling look very hlgYi , especially the prices paid for choice and "fat yearling heifers , which are selling to the packers as high as $4.JOJ1-I.43. Choice fat cows are also selling well , that is as high as $4.00. The yards were almost bare of feeders. Practically everything in the hands of reg ular operators , was disposed of yesterday or the day before and as there were no fresh arrivals of any Importance , the offer- inos were hardly of sulllclent Importance to attract any attention or to establish quo tations. The few hero , however , found buy ers waiting and It was no trouble to get strong prices for anything at all desirable. Representative sales : > STEEH3 - Ay. I'r. No. Av. IT. No. Av. Pr. ; ?

I.IKi : KAOCII AUDIO. A \Viiiiilpri-r TuriiN Up to Flint 111 * DrnrrdMl Wife ttciniii'rltMl , A sort of duplicate * of the famous ICnoch \rden case has been unearthed In East St. . ouls , reports the Globe-Democrat. It seems that several years ago fritz Kralisa and Miss Klmtnell were marrleil at Hello- vllle. Tlio couple lived happily together for only n few months. Krauss took to drink and before the first of their marriage year lad rolled over Krau.ss deserted his wife. The wife hired out anil supported herself .lie best she could until news came that her lusband had been killed In a wreck. Later advices confirmed the report , and a year later she was married to George Gasto-J , a butcher n St. Louis. Mr. and Mrs. Oaaton have been living In East St. 'Lotila for the last 'car. 'Mr. Gaston works nt the Swift aud Company Dressed Hcef works. On Monday ironing while passing Clance'a saloon , on Whisky chute , which Is about a block from ils home , he was hailed by the barkeeper. The couple were old frlcnJs and Guaton walked kite the saloon to see what wa.i wanted. As soon as he entered Mr. Clanco , who was behind the bar , said that Gaaton was called over for the purpose of being In- iroduccd to his wife's husband. Gaston , at llrst considered the affair a joke , but was again Informed that the stranger who leaned against the counter was thn lawful , leng-lost husband of Xcllle Kraurs. Gaston at cuco Informel those present that he placed no credenceIn the stranger's story , and hot words soon passed. Some one attempted to strike him , and as he carried nls butcher knife with whleh he had been working all day In his hand Glance drew a revolver and ordered him out. Liter he was arrested on a peace warrant , but gave ball. _ Mrs. Gaston was seen about the affair and admitted that Krausj' statement about the marriage was true. She said that she mar ried him at 'Belleville ' In 1890 , and that he deserted her soon after. She learned that he was killed while stealing a ride on a Chicago & Alton freight- train at Sn'rlngfleld , 111. , and received a letter later purporting to have been written by Krauss' brother , to the ef fect that the report of his death was true. iSho met > Mr. Gaston about two years ago , and , believing that her husband was dead , married Gaston In St. Louis , and proposes to stand by him. She says Krauss Is a worth less drunkard and that during ttie short wihllo ho lived with her he boat and kicked her almost dally. She also feels that Gaston was Inveigled Into Clance's saloon so that Krauss could have a chance to beat him nnd the. . , Invoke the aid of the law to glvo Ga.i- ton as much trouble as possible. Gaston will cling to the woman. Luckily there are no children to add further complications to the affair. Open * Court nt IlnwMoii Oliy. SATTLE , Wash. , April 8. J. G. Courtney nnd D. A.
