CHICAGO , Feb. 3. The whont market
monopolized most of the nttcntlon of the
trndfTS , nnd the trading was heavy. Bt.
Louis furnished one of the sencntlons of the
day by a jump of 3o In ns ninny minutes.
The feeling hero vfnn generally bullish , nnd
May wheat closed l&e. lilghcr tlmn Satur
day's close. The corn , oats and provisions
woie nil easier , but. made very fcllght
changes In value.
Wheat wns again very nervous today nnd
went up and down within n inngc of nearly
2c , but averngcd higher. The early ten
dency was downward , being Influenced by
the geiicrom fall of snow , which was re
garded as highly beneficial to wheat and by
the liberal recolptH In the northwest. There
was a good deal of Belling for a time , BOIDQ
of the big lenders hammering the maiket
and the support was of n reluctant and
hesitating character , prices gradually going
oft nearly Ic. llut the crowd soon got over
Its timidity ; Liverpool cables Bhowcd de
cided stn-ngth nnd said Hint stocks were
Bmitlt nnd lite demand uigcnt ; the world's
shipments last week were unofficially re
ported ns only 5,200,000 bu. , or 2,000ow > bu.
below the estimated weekly consumption ,
nnd the amount on ocean pahsnge showed
a ( Iccrenso of 320,000 bu. Thin quick y
changed the tone of trndc nnd the euily
( tellers made active efforts to get back
what they had sold. There wtis active
buying on long account , prices going un
rapidly under the competition , ns there wns
little for pale. Uutlng this period of the ner
vousness the viplble supply wns posted ,
showing n decrease of nearly 800,000 bu. ,
which was n great surprise nnd Increased
the excitement , May going to < > 8ic ! , or
nearly 2c advance , which was accomplished
in less than halt an hour. Some weakness
followed on lib oral lenllzlng. but the re
actions were fharp. Advices received In tlie
Intter session Indicated that the snow fall
had extended over only a small portion of
the winter wheat belt. May opened about
We lower , nt from CT c to GGfrc , fell to CRc.
up to GSVie , oft to G7UtC , then to C874c , nnd nt
noon WIIB use. The mnrket kept strong
during the last hour nnd Mny sold to G8J4e ,
but cased off n fraction , finally closing at
Corn wns plow and did not respond to the
upward action of wheat , the big Increase
In accummulntlons preventing any rally.
Opening quotations for May were nbout
He below Saturday's closing , at from 30-Jio
to 30c , nnd fluctuations were with a.c
range nil day , closing pi Ices being virtually
vnchnnged , irom 30fe to SOTto.
Onts were quiet nnd unlntere'stlng through
out , the wheat flurry having but llttlo eTfect.
May opened Uu lower , nt 21Uc , sold nt
21) i' , advanced gradually to 21c , nnd at
the close wns offered at from 21c to
SlVtC.
The provisions market was rather tame ,
nnd although receipts were quite moderate ,
the holders were apparently more Inclined
to sell than to buy more. Prices began to
eng from the start , but the decline for the
day , compared with Snturdav'a closing
prices , was trifling. Poik at the end of
the session showed a decline of lOc , lard a
decline of 2V&c and ribs unchanged.

CATTLE The week oj ) ncd with n fair
run of cattle ns compared with previous
weeks , 1,493 head being reported In the
yards , as against 856 on Monday of last
week. A considerable proportion of the
cattle on sale consisted of feeders anil
butchers' stock , and while there \\ero some
pretty fair dressed beef steers the offerings
were not larcc.
The market on fat steers was very Blow
to open nnd slow after it did open. No one
pcoms to want that kind of cnttlo nnd the
heavier they nre the poorer the demand ,
not only here , but nt all other mnrkcl
points. Cornfed steers are very low nl
Chicago and the buyers claim that they
have been too high hero ns compared with
eastern prices. The condition of the trnde
in the cast tnkea nil the snap and llfo out
of the mnrket nt this point.
About n quarter of the receipts was made
up of butchers' stock. Quito n good main
of the cows on mile were on the commonlsn
order nnd not overly desirable In the eyes
of the buyers. The demand for Hint class
of cnttlc wns good nnd the offerings were
taken In peed season. The prices paid were
fully steady , nnd in many cases ns much na
lOe higher , taking quality Into considera
tion. One three-load bunch of 870-lb. heifers
sold at $3.35.
Stackers nnd feeders were In good dc-
mnnd nnd the market strong. The offerings
met with quite ready sale. Itcpiuscntatlve

It has Just developed that the city < \e \
tcotlvcs have for n ycnr boon mcst nratly
taken In by .in apparently unsophisticated
youth of 11 years. He gave his name us
Frank Ward , whereas his real name U Frnnl
Wurdiior. Ho said that ho had no relatives
In this part .of the country , yet a Brand
niothur and nn mint Imvo been located wllhli
five blocks of the police elation.
Frank "Ward" was nrrcstcd last spring
In company with another boy for sleeping li
a box car. Ho told n hard luck story , In
which some of the romantic was mingled
Ho stiUM that thu first ho could rp
member ho wns nn Initiate of an orphans
liomo at Dubticiue. la. , and dIJ not know
whom ho was. Ho icmalncd there untl
several months before bis arrest , when ho
became filled with nn ambition to discover
his relatives. Ho heard that ho had nn
nunt In Oklahoma and went to that countr )
to find her. When ho arrived , however
ho discovered that she had loft for parts un
known , nnd ho once more was balked In bin
dcslro to know his relatives. Then he learnei
that ho bad an undo In South Omnhn nni
ho visited that city. Ho found the uncle
nnd said that man turned out to bo
a very worthless fellow , for nfter taking
him In , ho suddenly left ono night nnd hat
never como back. Finding that his rela
tlves were of the wlll-o'-tho-wlsp character
and being n poor , friendless boy , he Just la ;
down his head In the nearest box car to
think the matter over.
The story was taken nt Its face vnluo
"Ward" was very Innocent-appearing , ant
talked as If ho was speaking the truth
Moreover , bo was sharp nnd bright , and became -
came a favorite with the Jail olllclals. It
was determined to do something for him
Officers bought him a suit of now clothes
and finally Jailer Havey agre-ed to take him
home nnd adopt him. Ho kept the boy some
months , but finding that ho was a llttlo
bard to manage lie finally turned him over
to Police Matron Cummlngs.
Police Matron Cummlngs also bccnmo In
terested In the boy , and obtained a position
for him In South Omaha. He remained
there until several weks ago , nnd then sud
denly disappeared. Ho was later captured
at Pacific Junction , and returned to Mrs
Cummlngs. To her , ho said that h& did not
llko his place. Mrs. Cummlngs , however
suspected that there was another reason
and on Investigation discovered that the bo >
had been recognized by a policeman of South
This policeman said that the boy had lived
with a grandmother and aunt , who formerly
resided In South Omaha. Ho ran away last
spring , and the policeman did not see him
again until recently. In the meantime the
relatives had removed to some point In
Omaha. Mrs. Cummlngs continued her
search and finally located them. The grand
mother's name Is Mrs. Dltcman , and she
and the aunt live at C24 South Twentieth
street.
It has been learned that the boy's statement
mont that ho was once an Inmate of the
Uubuque Orphans' homo Is true , but the rest
of his story about his wanderings is a fabri
cation. Ho was taken out of the home b *
the grandmother , who removed to South
Omaha. While there the family became re
duced In circumstances and the boy was In
formed that ho would be placed In some
position.
The boy has been returned to his grand
mother and an effort will be made to keep
him at home. _

OMAHA. Feb. 3. To the Kdltor of The
See : I wan tackled very unceremoniously
nnd wruthfully yesterday by one of our
noot prominent and Intelligent citizens on
the city hall basement Jail matter , about
which BO much discussion ha been cnrrlcd
on and concerning which so llttlu seems
o be known outside the e who have the
natter In charge. The ImprenBlon ncems
o prevail with a good many that the main
entrance to the Jnll and police court In to
ie through the main entrance of the city
lull. This la a mistake ; there will bo no
communication whatever between thu Jail
nnd court room nnd the city hall offices.
The entrance to the Jail will be at the cast
Hide of the city hall ; the entrance to the po-
Ice court room will bo at the northwest
corner of the city hall : the entrance to
hu police headquarters will be at the noutli-
weut corner of the city hall. The whole
arrangement wan planned with the object
n vle\v of complete ueparutlon of the crlm-
nal department from Intercourse with the

POUT TOWNSEND , Wash. , Feb. 3--Tho
bluest trust ever formed on the raclflc
coast , anil representing n cnpltnl of over
$70,000,000 , lias been cousummntecl anil went
Into cftJct last night. It la the Central Lum
ber company of California , nml Its member
ship Itmliiiles every lumber mill , nil ship
owners , wholesale and rctnll dealers of the
ncstern coast tf the United States and
Urlllsli Columbia. All charters of vessels
and wile * of lumber must bo effected through
the Central Lumber company , which regu
late * freights and puts the buying and selling
price on all the lumber , regulating- also the
product of each mill and the proporllonato
amount of lumber each vessel shall carry
durlnc the "year.
Not only are the market * of the Taclflo
coast thus controlled , but the lumber ship
ments to foreign countries are placed under
the sama restrictions' ' . Uvery mill on the
coast has Its product regulated. In PiiBct
sound the dally output Is 1,400,000 feet. In
the same proportion every other lumber mill
on the coast Is regulated , but the regulations
do not npply to shipments by rail to east
ern points.
The first order Issued by the company was
to advance the price of lumber $2 per l.OOOt
Last year the estimated product of the coast
was COO.000,000 feet , and this advance will
cnlinnco thn profits of mill ownars the com
ing year over $1,000,000.
The deal was made to Include nmmif.ic-
turers , dealers nnd freight carriers. Mem
bers of the trust claim they have been
manufacturing lumber at actual cost and
that the dealers at foreign and coastwise
markets were reaping all the profits. Under
the new prices they say the employes will
be paid better wages and the timber men
receive higher prices for their logs. Al
though capitalized at but $10,000 , no other
corporation on the Pacific coast contracts
such vast Interests as the Central Lumber
company. More thn'n 1BO ocean Baling ves
sels como under their control.
The llttlo daughter of Mr. Fred Webber , '
Holland , Mas < ) . . had a very bad cold nnd
cough which ho had not been able to euro
