HKIWhen ] .Muy wheat touched 11.00 on Sat
urday It looked ns If the climax had been
reached it nil that with n natural reaction a
quieter market would follow. The trade had
a reaction this morning , but they furnished
the country the liveliest wheat market on rec
ord for nmnya day. The reports of rainfall
In tlio northwest and .Mississippi valley Satur
day nlKht anil Sunday appeared to knock out
support from under the market. Weakness
cropped out on the curl ) . The opening of. the
market on the floor was very wild und first
prices for July were caught at OOQ.OUIC.
Scarcely had the great flood , , of soiling came
upon the market when It was discovered that
there was a Hood of buying orders also on
lower figures. There was moderate buying by
Hiitchlnson at first , and heavy buying by Me-
Ciirmlek and .lours ft Kt'iinott. Kdwards fc
Co. also took iiunU"0 bushels quickly. The mar
ket hcgirii to rebound as < | ulckly a.s It wont on.
The selling wat over done. The trndo niiulo
a rush to iccover wheat. In short order July
WHS up ! M finiii the opening ut OJUc. It was
then that llulehlnson put half a cloroii bro
kers In Ihu pit and bought furiously. This
added to tin ; furore and was mipplcmuntcd by
receipts of bull news. The north went icnorted
very low temperature and clearing , cold and
dry , with no rain or snow since Sunday after
noon. The dccreaso In the visible supply
promised to bo very large , perhaps over
J.WiO.OOO bushels. On all this the market went
soaring toUIVu fur July. Then , after a reac
tion. It went to tlio toil prlco of Saturday
U4'-e. ' The visible llnally Bhowcd but 625.000
bushels duciuasv. llulclilnson turned n lien vy

for the week mid 11,000,000 bushels
'ubieo April 1. The Mark I.nno K.vprcss

Theto was no long wheat on the market and
again July went totfo before 1 o'clock. Knrly
months were neglected , but May early Hold at

The corn market had a general stirring up
today. The action was almost as violent as In
wheat , nlthougli the range was not so great.
The market Marled n fraction easier , but the
lecelpts were nearly 100 cars short of the cstl-
inato and dispatches giving the mercury from
2 ! ) to 33 degrees In many places In Dakota ,
Minnesota and Iowa had a. very bullish effect.
Some of the very largest speculative
orders were In the market and the
early advance was quite sensational.
Jlay opened at Italic , touched 'MS.o
and closed at III Vc , or Me higher than Satur
day , Juno sold from 'tllfii up to 3.x : , closing at

cieaed 1,1114,000 bushels for the week.
Oatswt'io acllxe , but an unsettled feeling
pievallcd and prices changed frequently
within a range of 7 'c. The principal trading
was In July , which , owing to the reportsof
rain In tlio west and northwest , was olVeivd
qulto freely at times , particularly at the
opening , and the difference between It and
May spiead ftom ? c to ? .iU. Theopcnlng sales

showing the greatest advance. The strength
In wheat assisted In the advance. Later when
that market weakened oats sympathized and
prices receded " ; @ ? .ie and the market closed
Meady for Mny , but Mo lower for Juno and
July.
The provision trade bad a quiet time of It
today , as many of tlio operators were deeply
engaged In the moro actlvo grain markets ,
Dispatches from the yards leported peed buyIng -

would pay no moro for one than tlio other.

the dressed beef trade wanted a largo num

three ears of Texnns , say 850 to 000 bead , on
sale , all of which sold equally as good as last

Tin : llr.K. ] STOCKS The action of the -stock-
market early today was a revelation to the
btrcct. Kxpresslons at icsorts over Sunday
and dispatches sent out after the close Satur
day led the jmblle to expect furtherdepresslon
In many leading securities. Instead the mar
ket was very aetlvo and decidedly strong ,
V f though the activity and wide movements wore
principally I'onllned to n few stocks , among
which St. Paul , Liickawanna.'Orcgon , Trans
continental , AtchUon , and Chicago litii were
the iost prominent. The reactionary feeling
of the last two days of last week seemed to
4huvo entirely disappeared and llrst prices
were In most cases from 'i to fi per cent higher
than Saturday's closing figures , while Kansas
& Texas was exceptional with a gain of
Hi per cent nt 14'i. Trading was ex
tremely largo during the llrst half hour
and prices among uetlvo stocks mounted

' "irlced khures , while leading stocks reached
Ktlll higher llgun-s In many cases. Nor did
sentiment or action change up to noon. The
advance not only continued , but became
more general. Chicago Has n cut on up to 51 ,
while Sugar trust recovered to 75V. Transcon

Speaker Itcciru Joke on Mr. Lodge.
Speaker Reed is never so happy or never
appears to a bettor advantage th an when
ho IB engaged in relating ono of his best
stories to nil appreciative audience , says
the Washington Post. A few days ago
the speaker entertained a small coterie
of congressmen during alull in the house
proceedings withn highly interesting il
lustration of the present inodo of select
ing government employes through the
civil porvlco commission channel. The ap
plicant in the particular case was a young
lady of moro than ordinary Intellect ,
who had graduated at ono of the leading
colleges of the country with the highest
honors. She was naturally the least bit
nervous when she wont to the commis
sioners to have her intellectual dimen
sions taken , but after the first few ques
tions became qulto composed , as she was
qulto at homo on the examination bill-
of-faro for that particular day. The
young lady got along nicely until the
examiners struck a oranch of the in
quiry which they were pleased to term
history.
She answered the first few quos tons
readily , but about the fifth dash out of
the box , to use an expression not to bo
found in the civil service code , was a
stumper. It was as follows :
"Who is Ilonry Cabot Lodge , where
was ho born and by what great acts In
his life has ho been distinguished up to
the present tlmoV"
Tlio young lady , poor thing , linil'norcr
heard of Lodge , nor formed an acquaint
ance with the Incidents of his life , either
public or private , and was completely
nonplussed. She parsed the examina
tion , but her per' cent sulTercd by reason
of her ignornneo as to Lodge.
When Speaker Reed told this story ho
had for ono of his auditors the young
MasbiiehuKotts reform congressman , who
aftei ; coloring deeply , left the groin ) to
escape the laugh of his fellow-auditors
and the shaking of the fat sides of the
man from Maine.

Ilaltlmore .t Ohio Kullroatl.
The Baltimore & Ohio railroad com
pany has successfully solved the question
of burning eoko In Its engines In place of
coal , pays the Philadelphia Record. The
subject has been under consideration by
numerous other corporations , but here
tofore no way has been found in which to
utilize the coke successfully.
About a year ago the Baltimore &
Ohio began experimenting with the now
fuel , and at first found very little en
couragement. The promoters of the
scheme presovored , however , nd the
management now claim that the problem
has been completely solved , and that
coke is the future fuel for their express
engines. Most of the experiments wore
conducted on the Pennsylvania division ,
and six engines on that branch and two
on the main line now burn coke ex
clusively , the three-hour trains to Wash
ington being drawn by eoko burners.
Many advantages are claimed for
coko. It is as clean n fuel as hard coal
and the cost of it will be less than one-
half. Besides , the cost of converting
soft coal engines into coke-burners is
very much less than to pro pur them for
hard coal. Tlio cost of coke Is , of course ,
somewhat more than soft coal , but the
idea is that when the fuel is used on the
entire line it will cost no moro than
their present coal. A carefully prepared
coke lire will last longer and give moro
heat than any coal lire yet made , and by
carefully using these advantages the
management hope to reduce the cost to
fho ) same level as the bituminous coal.
The kind of coke which has been found
to answer best is that which has been
burned for thirty-six hours. Not only
was it found necessary to change the In
ternal arrangements of the engines In or
der to substitute the coke , but consider
able difficulty was found in educating 1 ho
firemen in their now duties. A man ac
customed to making soft-coal fires was
found to bo no good with a coke fire.
Thqy are rapidly learning , however. The
experiments by the company have at
tracted attention throughout the coun
try. The officials point to the three-
hour trains between -this city and Wash
ington as fair samples of their success.

At a time when the labor question
has assumed such an acute form in this
country a great amount of interest ought
to concentrate on a series o [ returns just
collected by the government of Ontario ,
and which relate to the amount of wages
paid in the various trades and the cost
of living in that province. Of the re
turns on which the tables are based 23-
OOG were furnished bv employers and
2,752 by employes , says the London
Times. The first thing shown
is that there has been a gradual
shortening of the hours of la
bor , the average number of hours per
week being ,58.24 , as compared with 69.10
in 1884 , and the average of 58.00 hours
for the five years 1JJ81-8. There is
greater steadiness of employment , the
average last year having been 270.07
days , against 2 ( > . ) ,17 days in 1881 , and the
average of 208.03 days for the five years
1881-8. Earnings also show an increase ,
these now averaging $420.07 , as com
pared with $38U1 : in 1881 , and $395.-11
as the average of the previous five years.
But with all this increase the cost of liv
ing has kept pace , and the surplus
of wages over cost of living now
averages $50.45 against $48.84 in 1884 ,
and an average of $49.70 for the llvo
years previous. A curious feature of
the return in that it shows clearly that
the cities "are not the most desirable
places for workmen , It is true that the
wages are .higher , but the cost of living
is higher in proportion , and there is a
smaller surplus In every case. In the
case of the larger cities there is for
"males with dependents , tenants" i. o. :
who do not own their houses so close a
margin that in London the wages do not
eomo up to the average cost of living by
JO.U8 , und in Hamilton by 8S.02. In
Toronto they show a surplus of $23,90
