CHICAGO , April 18.-I3xetcd ! ahortK ,
Beared by Increasing exports and diminish
ing receipts , druve the price of Mny wheat
up Ic today. Corn followed reluctantly ,
grtlnlriK Vic ; oats closed iincliunged for May
nnd provisions finished with Might declines.
Wheat started with u convulsive Jump
today. The first bids for May ran nil the
way from G7'c ' to Me , with very little sale
below G7kc , us compared with u7'ie ' sellers
nt the end of yesleiduy'H session. For an
hour there wns free itnllzliiB by the gen
eral crowds of lonfc-s nnd nn equally wide
spread buying by scared shorts nnd some
other mysterious Interest , which took the
offerings ut such times as the shorts would
withdraw , to give the thing a square chance
to drop. The price bumped on 57H < ! more
than once , nnd strijck up against 5So on
nevcnil occasions prior to 12 o'clock. Once
near the noon hour tne rrlght of the shorts
became rather hystcrlonl , und they could
not get enough .Mny whent until they bid
Wfic for It. The figures of the day's movement -
ment were quit'.1 encouraging to holders.
Minneapolis anil Duluth Jcecipts were 151
cars , compared with 2.0 n week ago , nnd
183 on the corret'pondlnK day of last year.
Primary receipts nil told were only 162,114
Uu. , compared with 21 , UW bu. ! nt < t year , and
the Atlantic port clearances amounted In
wheat nnd Hour to 570UOO bu. The cables
were linn. Kpports from the country were
of reduced acreage nnd poor appearance of
wltit r wheat nnd of restriction In the area
being sown to cprhiff. In the Ipr-nl
pit situation It was observed that Pardrldge
was apparently unmoved by the advance.
The trading of Ills brokers was not heavy ,
nnd consisted of modnrute purchases of
May on soft spots nnd eorrospomllnir Hales
of July on the bultfss. He was culled on
heavily for margins by several houses and
responded with tilucrlty. margining May
wheat up to around C2c or ( So per bu. . It
was satct. Closing- cables were firm. The
market closed at from CS'ic to OS'lc for
Corn wag very quiet , nnd prices prac
tically refused to move during the llrst
hour or so of the ner-slon , hut later the
great strength of the wheat market brought
In buying orders , and fluctuations after that
were over a much wider range. The openIng -
Ing price for May was 45c , and n few
pales were made at 4GV-.C. It kept between
those prices the most of the llrst half hour ,
then rose to 4Gc , dropped ugiiln to 40'.c , ad .
vanced to from 45c to 43'iic. and closed 1
there , nftcr fluctuating for a time between
that nnd 4&c. . . . .
There was a good general business trans
acted In the market for oats. The main
feature wns the changing- from May to
June. The result was nn advance of Uo In
the price of June , while May closed barely
steady and ruled easier principally. Armour
sold freely early In the session. The firm
ness In wheat and corn governed the fluc
tuations In the more remote futures , all of
which ended nt nn advance. Mny sold from
28Wo to 28'ic to 28c , up to 28c , and rested
nt 28140. July started nt 27 > .ic. sold up to
Z7 c , nnd closed Vic higher at that price
Provisions were weak early on lower live
hog prices , with prospects of going lower
than they did. which was prevented by the
sustaining- Influence of the wheat market.
Near the end It became known that a big
demand for caHh product existed nnd that
heavy sales had been effected , nnd upon
that the market closed with declines of 15c
In pork , lOo In lard , nnd V&c In ribs.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow : Wheat ,
18 cars : corn , 208 cars ; oats , 193 cars , Iwgs ,
U6.000 head.

NEW VOIIK , April 18. The volume of busl-
nesa on the Stock exchange today wns larger
tlmn on any day for months post , and with
the exception of n brief period of depression
between II nnd 12 o'clock the tendency of prices
was upward , The buying was very strong , nnd
the speculation exhibited n buoyancy to which
the street has been long n stranger. The denl-
Ings were widely distributed , nnd stocks which
had not been traded In within n year appeared
Inbt the transactions. Although London was n
buyer hero nnd AmerlcnnB were- strong In the
London Stock exchange , the great factor of the
upward 1 movement was the heavy purchasing
for the local account. There were no specially
favorable circumstances affecting cither railroad
01 Industrial Mocks to account for the buoyancy
01of the market , which Deemed to bu due rather
tuTf a belief In the future , to a feeling that n
revlvlal In trade Is nt hand , nnd that n quickenIng -
Ing of the Industries of the country Is Imminent.
The early buying wns by the room traders , n
majority of whom appeared to be bulls , nnd ns
prices moved up the short Intercut took alarm
nnd began to cover on the best , terms obtain
able.
able.At
At the end of the first hour n gain from last
night's closing figures of m to 114 per cent had
been established. This advance Induced realiza
tion , which led to n reaction of ifcffl per cent
In the nctlve list , Sugar leading , while Man
hattan broku 2'4 per cent nnd Tennessee Coal
IVi per cent. The decline was quickly changed
under the Influence of the ready absorption of
nil offerings , nnd prices resumed their upward
trnnd. The buying was strong nnd steady , und
with ccnrcely n reaction , the market continuing
lo advance to the close , the- final dealings being
chamclcrlzed by a very buoyant tnne. Except
pome few specialties the entire list dealt In
shows n gain on the day.
The bond market today was strong , nnd the
volume of business was very large. The Bales
aggn-gated $3W2.000. The course of prices wu
steadily upward to the close. The prlnclpil
gain was In Seattle , Lake Shore & Eastern
llrst trust receipts , 3 % per cent.
The- Evening Post's London cablegram says :
The coin nnd bullion In the Hank of England
Increased today only 102.000 , although 274,000
were Imported for the week. Gold has gone to
Scotland earlier than ii ual , owing to the ex
pansions of UK- chip building trade there during
the past month. A really large amount of gold
has gone Into the provinces , It Is hoped It
Indicates a revival of Irade. During the week
IIOO.OW conic In from Egypt , 10,000 from the
continent , nnd 28,000 from China , 130,000 In

THUUSDAY , April 18.
The receipts today numbered 1,110 cattle ,
1,417 hogs and 71 sheep , us against 1,401
cattle , J.ota hogs and no sheep yesterday and
1,131 cattle , 3,825 hogs nnd no sheep on
Thursday of last week.
CATTLI2 The cattle market got a black
eye today , and no mistake about It. For
some days there has been a weakness In the
niatket and nn Indifference on the part of
the buyers which seemed to point to an approaching
preaching drop In price * , and today the de
cline came good and strong. " Other markets
weie all reported as In Very bad shape , and
In sympathy with the general decline , the
market broke here lOj to 15c. In addition to
being lower the trade on beef steers was
very dull and the buyers did not appear to
care whether they got the cattle or not ,
even nt the decline. The demand for fat
cattle has fallen off. very materially within
the lnt few days , due to n decreased con
sumption of meats. It Is claimed that the
cold storage houses of the packers In all
sections ot the country are Jull of fresh
meat , which Is moving out very slowly.
This condition of the fresh meat market
makes the packers very Indifferent buyers
at the best. At the same time prices have
been pretty high here on fat steers as com
pared with other markets. Thus a bunch of
tattle sold In Chicago yesterday at ? 5.50 for
which $5.63 was paid here.
There were six or seven loads of cows nnd
heifers In the yards today. The cow mur-
kJt ( has been In comparatively better shape
than the steer market , but It dirt not escape
the decline In prices today. The decline ,
however , was the most marked on the choice
stuff , which has been selling right up to
steer prices. One bunch sold nt J4.CO and
another nt $4.45.
The feeder trade was also lower and dull.
The demand wns light , there being few
buyers here from the outside. A few cattle
changed hands , but the market wus quiet.

HOGS There were fifty-throe fresh loads In
the yards of fair nvcraKo quality , with sonic
pretty peed top loads. It was n poor day for
the Belling Interest. Other markets were in-
ported loc to 15c lower and the buyers here
started out to pound prices. As usual on n down
market , the trade was slow and salesmen wcie
very backward about making the concession
naked by the buyers. While there was not much
life to the trade , the lic.gs kept selllnir. a few
loads at a time , and the' bulk ot the offerings
were taken In good season. The market as u
whole was lOc to 15o lower and a large proportion

WHERE FREEDOM WAKED UP.
Islington , Stiene of the first lUttle of the
ItrrnliitKin , n lt.\pinri | Tods.r.
The > po ( of American toll first reddened
by Hie blood ot the revolutionary patriot * Is
of thrilling Interest to all lovers ot free
dom , writes Arthur M. Barnes In the New
doY
York Herald. Turn which way you will In
the old town ot Lexington , Most. , and you
will llnj the souvenir ; of ttlrrltig history ,
first you naturally stroll around tlio well
kept green , embowered In graceful nnd gigan
tic elms. Hero It was , on April 19 , 1775 ,
that a band of sixty provincial * received n
volley from SOO ot Pltcalrn's men , and In
that early dawn seven ol tticlr number lay
lifeless on the trrcen sward ,
. The common la triangular In shape , and
" I ns high above sea level as the top ot Hun
ker Hill iiiomimeiit ,
At the upcx of the triangle a pulpit ot
dark granite murks the spot where tlirco
village meeting houses have stood. Just
back of this Is n promising elm tree planted
by General Ornnt at the time of the centen
nial of the Kittle.
The memorial to tlio victims of the batllo
Is , In measure , disappointing for the shaft
Is severely pluln , although Improved by ft
luxurious growth of Ivy , The Inscription Is
it long historical resume of events' , and fer
vently patriotic. U etlrrcd the spirits ot
l < itayelt(3 and Kosstlth as they paused be
fore It. The bodies uf the first slain hcrooa
of the revolution were taken from the old
cemetery In 1S35 and relntcrrcd within the
enclosure. Dr. Holmes hns said :
Urecn bp the Braves where her martyrs nro
lylnh'1
Shroudless nnd tnmblc3 they panic to
their rest ,
While o'er their ashes the starry fold flylnc
Wraps the proud eagle they roused from
lil.i neat.
On the eastern stdo of the common la a
rough boulder which murks the line of the
minute men. Upon one side Is carved a mus
ket and pcivuler horn , anj beneath arc the
i-alm , decisive words of Captain Parker ,
"Stand your ground , don't fire unless fired
upon , but If they mean to have a war , let It
begin here. "
The Iluckman tavern , which overlooks the
common , merits more tlmn a passing glance ,
for ( It Is the patriarch nmong the veteran
buildings of Lexington. This frame structure )
was erected In IG'JO , and the ever welcome
vt
tablet t : tersely tells us tlmt It was "a rendez
vous for minute men , a mark for British bul-
lots. " Here It stands , perforated with shot
lioles , as though King William's war were
still In progress and the nation had not
stretched Itself across the continent.
A flttliiR companion to the Duckman tavern
Is the house of Jonathan Harrington , who
waa wounded on the common , but dragged
himself to the door and died ut his wife's
feet. Something more than mere sentiment
has made It possible for these wooden build
ings to have outlived the corroding years
until the present day , and It Is to be hoped
that they may be preserved In their grandeur
for many years to come.
The old cemetery Is Just back of the Unl-
tarlan church , and Is readied by way of a
narrow lane. A half hour nxiy be spent
hero 'with profit. The stones are for th
most part of slate nnd the dates run as far
back as 1GDO. Some of the Inscriptions pre
serve odd bits of personal history , as this ,
which bespsaks the generous outlay for apoth
ecaries' compounds by kind relatives.
Could medicine's healing- balm have saved
her breath ,
This young Kltnlra ne'er tasted dciith ,
The grave of Captain John Parker , th
commander of the minute men , Is marked
by a monument more moJern than the ma
jority , which the people of Lexington erected
In 1SSI.
Leaving the green and following1 the old
Bedford road a short distancewe reach , an
old-fashioned liouso standing with Its end
to the road. This Is the old parsonage , and
here It was that John Hancock and Samuel
Adams were sleeping when aroused by Paul
Hevere. The warning- the approach of the
British could not mean moro to any one than
to these two patriots , whoso fearless utter
ances were unpardonable In the- eyes of the
British ; Indeed , their capture was supposed
to have been been one of the objects of
Pltcalrn's march to Concord. The house , al
though built In 1698 , Is still occupied and
apparently In good condition.
Retracing our steps and passing the com
mon , the next point of Interest Is the town
hall , where many relics- and Interesting
statues are to be seen. Further along we
next como upon the Identical structure which
represented Massachusetts at the Philadel
phia centennial In 1S7C. After the centenla )
the building- was taken apart , transported t
its present location , put together again and
fitted up as a hotel.
Continuing In a southerly direction , our
attention la next arrested by "the house of
Benjamin Merrlam , a mlntito man , whoso
family fled at the- approach of the British ,
when the house was pillaged. "
Americans proudly remember the rapid
and bloody retreat of the British from Con
cord. Had not Earl Percy met the worn out
regulars with reinforcements from Boston
they would have been forced to surrender
Near the spot where Karl Percy planted n
field piece to cover the retreat of the Brit.
Ish stands a' granite monument In the shape
of a cannon.
Historically speaking , Lexington Is the
town of a day , for the marauding British
never came that way again. It has b2en the
fate of our country to witness longer and
bloodier fights than that which broke tho.
stillness of the somber Middlesex town , but
one searches In vain for a spot which teaches
as much silent history as grand old Lexlng.
