CHICAGO , April 23. Wheat fluctuated frequently today within narrow limits nnd finished Uo higher for May. Tlie firmer feeling resullcd largely from the dry wcalher. Corn , oals nnd provisions closed with bul little change. There were the same characteristics lethe the market news concerning wheat today as on the day before. The- foreign markets were firm , Liverpool being quoted 'id higher for California nnd ' , fcd higher for red wlnler. The primary market recelpls were largely In excess of the movement nt the corresponding spending date of Iho year before and there was no material change from the pre viously prevailing dry weather conditions. The market acled very nervously , wllh frequent changes , over a range of about fto per bu , The short sellers were for the greater part of the forenoon on the defen sive nnd tlie price during the grealcr part ot Iho lime mnlntaned Itself above the level of yesterday's closing quotnllons. The Cln- clnnall 1'rlce Current rather leaned toward the opinions that wheat In some sections wns suffering for want of moisture , but InJI- cated no general Immediate need of It. A few light showers were discovered to have fallen In southwestern Knnsas , and that was made the basis of several attacks upon tlie market by the bears. The Minneapolis and Biilutlt receipts were IMi rnrs , against lul a year ago. The total quantity received ut the primary markets was 23VJOO bu. , com pared with 171uoi ) bu. n year ago. Export clearances of wheat and Hour frum the Atlanllc porls nmounled lo 3)3,000 ) bu. 'ihe opening price of May was at an advance of from < Sec lo tie ut 00'4c. nnd July made n similar gain , sturtln. ! , ' at C.l'.jc to OH'ic. May sold many limes over Ihe range of MHie. nnd C'J c , and July belween Clc nnd C17ic , Ihe tnosl general values being nboiil mid way between the extremes. In the cud July closed at Cl'.lc and May ut COc. Tlie corn niuikol was quiet and firmer on Iho average. The receipts were 189 cars und 3uO are estimated for tomorrow. Pri mary market receipts were 205,000 Jju. , ngalnsU 307,000 bu , on tlio corresponding day of the year before. Some buylne by elevator rcpresenlallves was supposed to represent corresponding sales of cash corn they had made. The opening price of July was ISc. It sold as high ns JSUc and ns low OHI7ie , and the latlcr price was bid A fulrly'Vood business was Iransaelcd In oats. The bulk of Ihe trading was done In the way of exchanging from May to the months of deferred deliveries. The hitler were proportionately tinner than the near by monlliH. July closed Ho toc higher nnd the others steady. May sold from .WTsc to ISlic , advanced to 29'ie , fell oft to 28Vc nnd closed at 28c. July ranged from a'.ic to 2Sc , und resled nl from 2S-S.C lo 28'ic. It was a dull day In provisions and they were for the most part weak. 'Ihe run of hogs was 22,000 head.

It It not at all unlikely tlint the result of the petition iircscntcd to the county commis sioners asking them to call A special election upon the bond proposition ( or the construction of the I'latto canal will be a mandamus suit brought In the supreme court. The commis sioners hava been canvassing tlio subject for about two weeks , having been In session as n committee of the whole during much ot that time , awaiting opinions from the county nt- orncy , Judge Lake and J. \Yharton. . These opinions arc no\v In the hands of the members ot the committee. Hut they do not agree In the construction of the canal law. Thn commissioners are In tlie sumo predicament. As already Indicated In The Dee , Judge Lake takes the position that the canal law Is unconstitutional. lie makes this reply severally to a scries ot questions propounded by lho commissioners , among the most Im portant being , "Has the Judiciary the right to make an appointment of canal trustees ? " Jf there Is a conflict of law between the clause designating the commissioners as the guardians of the county property , and the provisions ot tlio canal law , designating : a board of trustees , which Is to have exclusive control of the canal ? Does the clause In the canal law relating to the collection ot a tax provide for the pay ment of the principal when It becomes due ? The opinion of J. C. Wharton has been ren dered and Is generally favorable to the canal law. The opinion of the county attorney is also favorable , tliough ho has reserved a de cision upon a knotty point as to whether or not the Judges Imvo the constitutional right to make an appointment of commission ers. ers."This point as to the Judges' authority litho the most serious objection , and I find law leaning both ways , " snys Mr. Ilaldrlge. "I am still engaged In considering this proposi tion , t have inclined to the view that If the Judges voluntarily made the appointment It would ho good , but the question arises whether the Judges could be mandnmused to compel them to make the appointment should they fall to do so. It seems douhlful whether this could be done. It is my opinion upon the question as to whether there Is a conlllot between the laws , granting the com missioners full control of county property , and this law creating a canal board that a separate corporation Is thereby created and so no conflict between the two laws In this respect. Upon the matter of bonds a dispute has also arisen as to what amount the county can issue. I am inclined to the vlow that the 10 per cent limitation means that the county cannot Issue In bonds an amount exceeding 10 per cent of the total assessment for tlio county. In round numbers , placing the total assessment nt $24,000,000 , this leaves the county the right to Issue | 2,400,000 of bonds , less a present Indebtedness of say $950,000 , Including the poor farm bonds to bo Issued , or a right to Issue about $1,450,000. " In addition to this , several minor questions arise , the county attorney slates , tliough he docs not lay much stress upon the difficulties lliey present. lie believes that the law makes It optional with the board In Issuing bonds when the time comes as to whether they shall be issued In series or not , so that each series , If this method of Issue is followed , could be paid as It became due. The law Is deemed somewhat vague , also , In regard to the terms of the trustee , and docs not specifically des ignate whether , at the expiration of his llve- year term , the new appointee Is to hold for the same term of years or not. The county attorney In advising tlio board has taken the position that the law Is manda tory , provided it Is constitutional. The com missioners are accordingly in.n somewhat peculiar position and are now Bitting as a court to determine whether or not the law Is constitutional. It is certain that if they should decide that the law Is unconstitutional no time will bo lost before mandamus proceedings are brought to test the case in the courts. The Involution Of medicinal agents Is gradually relegating the old-tlmo herbs , pills , draughts and vege table extracts to tlio rear and bringing Into general use the pleasant and effective liquid laxative , Syrup of Figs. To get the true remedy SOD that It Is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only. For sals by all leading druggists. SIGNED WITH BUFFALO BILL1 !

The reason that the Brulcs wcro refused Ihis year was due to the fact that they proved too troublesome last year and there Is a bitter enmity between the Brules and Ogalallas. The applications to go on the road and get a talary of $25 per month and a taste of clvlll- zallon were pracllcally In the form of a mild epidemic among the Sioux tills year. The "professional" fever raged fiercely on tlio reservation and ( hero was a grand rush to tlio medical examiner's office to pass the necessary physical examination when Mr. Lk'dlard went to the reservation to recruit tlio braves. Finally sevenly-two of them were acceplcd and Ihe balance took It out In disappointment. Mr. Llddlard reporls Hie fact lhat among tlio choice bits of current gossip around Hushvillo Is the recent arrest of Hev. Collier of the sand hill country for rustling cattle. The reverend gentleman Is now In jail lo await trial for "agitating" beef that did- not belong to him. Furott of Pol el Ciiinlinj Down.
