In the People’s lodg ing house on the second floor. 25 men. awakened from sleep, had to battle their way down a smoke filled stairway to the street. Foremen had difficulty in entering the basement and were forced to cut holes In the sidewalk. Men from station No. 1, undpr command of Capt. Julius Donnermeyer, entered the building through one of the holes. Tho dense smoke and escaping gas forced them temporarily from the basement. Noticing liia men staggering from the effects of the gas, Captain Don noimeyer ordered them out. Before they could c'ambcr up the narrow < polling three were overcome. Jay Frink became lost by his comrades end the captain led a rescue crew- to f nd him. The others overcome were B'ii Meister mid William lluston. < aptaln Donnermeyer refused to leave until all of his men were out nnd he himself fell a victim of the pa a. The injured men were all taken to the police station for emergency treat ment. Frink was temporarily deliri ous from the gas. T\ A. Potter of Council Bluffs dis c overed the fire while waiting for a street ear to take him home, when tlte smoke began seeping from the win (lows. Me turned in an alarm and then sought, to arouse the lodgers on tho second floor. The street on trance door was bolted oil the inside, nd lie hurled a paving bride through the window. Tho lodgers, many dud in little more than the smoke through wliien they were forced to battle their way, rushed down the stairway. Tho. dense smoke kept them from finding tho door bolt. John Henson, a burly lumberjack from the north woods, who was a lodger, backed away from the door and with a rush hurled himself against it. The human battering ram I roved sufficient and with a crash the door gave way and liberated ttye mcri front the smoke-filled liuildtng in the ncar-zeto temperature of the street.

Total shipments were 146 cars, as compared with 131 cars a year ago. Cash wheat on the Omaha market was in fair demand, with prices un changed to lc higher. Corn was strong, unchanged to lc up, being gen erally He to lc higher. Oats were unchanged to He lower. Rye was quoted firm and unchanged, and bar ley nominally unchanged. Early prices In the Chicago futures market were somewhat lower, being Influenced by Liverpool wheat market not responding fully to our advance of yesterday. Large shipments of wheat from Argentine was also a feature. New crop months of wheat displayed a somwehat steadier under tone owing to a forecast for t» cold wave in the southwest. Advices from Argentine later in the day stated, while some rain had fallen, it was probably too late to do much good, and that actual damage had already resulted to their corn crop. This news resulted in a stronger and higher corn market and other grains sympathized to some extent. The session as a whole was rather a tame affair, with prices at the close not much chang’d from yesterday. W H K AT. No. S dark, hard, 1 car, Jl.-i. special billing: 1 car, *1.19.

Feb. 2.—Corn came to the ; fore an a leader in the grain markets, i <;ue to a revival in the demand for ! cash grain from exporters and reports ! of irreparable damage to the new Ar j gentine crop from drouth and heat. I There was persistent buying by * strong commission houses and while I profit taking was in evidence on the advance, the close was within a frac tion of the top with net gains of Wheat was unchanged to ssC higher, oats H @ %c higher and rye afcc higher. Spreading operations continue be tween Chicago and Winnipeg, the buying being done here, and the dif ference between the May delivery in the two markets widened tt> oTt,c at the last, with Chicago July 3§c over j Winnipeg May, against even the | previous day. Local traders were I afraid to prers the selling side freely as commission house buying orders appealed on all breaks. Aside from the prospect of a crop scare, due to a cold wave, the strength in exchange and the advance in corn, there was ltltle in the news to induce heavy buying. Kiport Demand Mon. No improvement was shown in the ex port demand for cash wheat and re sellers offered No. 2 hard and Manitobas afloat far below a replacement basis, and rgcntlnn f*rnin n.'i.i reported an pressing f •- rule abroad Premiums here were generally unchanged.

Pit Notes. It is said by those in a portion to know tliftt the persistent buying of May wheat tit Chicago which Has so mystified the trade of late It>$ been* largeK m tho "ay of back spreading between here ar.d Winnipeg. It is understood that large sir* tints were spread when the difDucnr-? between the two markets was 7 to 10c and ihIo? the difference tier row-id to r.rourd 4c. The closing of the spreads has oeen on for some days and at the fh’Ph today Winnipeg May was <~%r under 1 iiicjigo. Some traders express the belief that until the rpreading operations arc completed wheat prices here will not de cline materially despite the bearish news from abroad- but later they anticipate much lower prices unless the situation in Europe charges materially. Kastem interest*} are regarded as hav >ng been the big buyers of corn today which 'vps uo effective in advancing prto to the high point. Dullish sentiment pre dominated after the close and a ms Jowly or traders expect still higher prices. The local professionals who were good buwrs of corn lower down were very confident of t h*'j r jOHitic#n and said they believed that the lonu expected bull market had stai t-•0 bushels. Recent cables said Russia was going to export around 12.000.000 bushels from the northern part of that country. Germany was imported hi having bought KOO.OOO bushels rye from Russia today, making 1,603.000 bushels tak*-n of late Several cars of Argentine flaxseed have arrived at Mineapo’ls in the past few days and further receipts are expected. Ru.'bia had an exportable surplus of 150.. n00 tons of oil seeds, according to an of ficial report - The Danube is offering barley on a liberal scale lu the United Kingdom and it is coming into competition with corn for feeding purposes Exports of barley from the Danube thii week were 625,000 bushels.
