CHICAGO , Feb. 5.-Whcat furnished a
painful suttirlsc to the short element today.
It went up 1V4C In the first hour's trading
nnd notwithstanding the selling out of rriany
millions of long wheat , closed ? ic higher
than yesterday's closing prices. Corn nnd
oats shows ECarccly any change , nnd pro
vision ! ! closed generally n little higher.
In wheat there was good buying at the
nUirt by a prominent local trader , who
the crowd had tried to follow of late , the
eelllng evidently being led by New York
nooin traders were generally short over
night nnd rushed to cover early , resulting
in the sharp advance. The market had Its
first Impetus from the surprising strength
of cables , Liverpool coming steady In the
face of the 2c break on this side yester
day , and WBB a surprise to . the trade
There was also more Argentine news ant
renewed talk of damage to the crop thcro
by rain was also something of a factor
Yesterday's cash business was no doubt
something of n factor , too , the total foot
ing to about 200,000 bu. , nnd a good demand
was nlRo reported today. Exports were
very fair nt 3IS.OOO bu. , of which 158,000 bu
was In ( lour , nnd this added to the strength.
Ban Frnncicco reported stocks nt that polnl
reduced 1,139,000 lju. during January , nnd
was taken as a bull factor. Among tin.
bear InllucnceB were the continued liberal
arrivals In the northwest and the modcratu
weather conditions. Later In the day , the
market was given further strength by the
reports from Washington on the bond sub-
Kcrlptlon. This news gave tbu bulls re
newed confidence , but on the rally there
was conHldorafole realizing , which caused
a fair reaction to ( set In. but was only of
short duration , ns IJradstreet's came In
Hhowlng a reduction In the world's nvnll-
nblo supply nf 3.900,000 bu. last week. For
the same week laxt ycnr supplies were re
duced 912,000 bu. Closing cables came VId
higher , und were also productive of some
strength. Jlny opened > ,4e higher nt from
C7c to G7'/iC , rallied quickly to G8'f.c and re-
uctetl to U7c , und advanced ngnln to GS',6e. '
During the last hour there was a big
break , caused apparently by fice local real
izing , nnd there was a rush by the lenders
to slug It , and after touching 6S'&o it broke
quickly to 6Cc und recovered to 67Uc.
Heavy buying by n prominent broker
started a good reaction rlnht at the close
nnd us the bell sounded C7c was bid.
Corn was firmer , largely In sympathy with
wheat and the small local receipts. There
waa not much speculation , but some shorts
covered. May corn opened unchanged nl
30'4c , advanced steadily to 30yc , , and at
noon was Sll&c. The market followed the
break In wheat during the last hour , and
May sold off to from SO'/lc to 30)ic , ppllt ,
closing at that price. (
Oats were very uninteresting from starl
to finish. Fluctuations were narrow and
Influenced entirely by the action of wheat.
May opened practically unchanged at from
21 , io to 21c , sold nt 21V4c , declined to
21Uc , and closed at that price bid.
i'rovlslons started rather weak , but on
the decline packers bought liberally of May
ribs , und that steadied the market. With
the assistance of wheat the products ruled
firm during the latter half of the session ,
and at the close pork showed an advance
of V&u for the day , lard a decline of 2i c
and ribs a gain of Gc.

Tlie market has been quiet , us was the case
through January. This wan the trim affalis In
every department of trade , the condition being
by no means accentuated In tha wool market ,
which , nil things considered , manifested it-mark-
ablu firmness and strength. The period under
Ir.un-dlatn review may bo fitly characterized
na ono of watting , with moro or less hope on the
part lit the trade , and douLllets of manufaclur-
i'iu , that tha monotony would bo broken today
or that Homo certain Indications of siine hap
pening would occur for the money stringency
hau b'-'i'u a largo Impediment to freer buying.
The saleu ilnee January 1 amounted to 32,671.739
Ibs. , against 29,269,765 Ibn. In the corresponding-
period of 1S95.
In Itoslon the aggregate weekly sale of stock

NBW YORK , Kcb. B. The fienfrnl opinion In
Wall Mreet today was Hint European hnanclers
cannot fall In be profoundly Impressed by the
result of the popular lonn experiment. The large
percentage of foreign bids In very significant , In
view of thrt previous npprchcnrlon'fcll as to the
probably unfavorable effects of the free silver
manifestations of the United States eennte upon
Kurcpcan fentlincnt. During the forenoon the
market displayed licsltnncy , which was rellfclcil
In an Irregular movement of prices and mod
erate Volume of business. The official announce
ments regarding the aggregate bids and average
of prices Imparted actual buoyancy to the mar
ket , prices advancing all along tne line on the
execution of heavy orders. More genuine com
mission buying occurred than has been netted
for Feme lime , nnd wholesale covering of shorts
took p.ace. About two-thirds of the trnnpiictlons
\vere rtconUil In the nflctnoon session. St. Paul
again led the entire market In pjlnt of ncllvlty ,
with Sugar a few thousand shares behind. The
last mentioned etock wan Hlrenglhened by the
news ( if the vote of the German Uundesrnth In
favor til the Increased bounty on tugnr from
that country. Leather prcferted waa advanced
2'.4 per cent on n levlvnl of bull manipulative
Rtrnsln ifcnrdlnn the dividend nnd trade wiliook.
Towanl the finish call money rates weakened

villa & Nashville , St. Paul & Omaha and Mis
souri Pacific. 1H per cent. The closing was ani
mated and strong nt about the best prices. The
favoiable Inllurnces bearing upon Blocks were
nlmi reflected In the bond market. The specula
tive Issues wore IliB most conspicuous. Tlie dealIngs -
Ings amounted to Jl.970,000. The government bond
market responded to the fnvombla news reganl-
Ing the latest government lonn by strength nnd
unusual ncllvlty. The new 4 per cent coupons
I-UBC 3 per cent. A number of transactions were
executed seller ten nnd twenty da > s. The aggre
gate dealings were 1130,000.
The Kvenlng Post's London financial cablegram
nays ! The stc.'k markets were quieter today , but
firm on Ihe whole , with slightly Increased activ
ity In Ivnlllm. Americans were nulet. Nothing
dfltnltc Is known nt this hour as to the result
of the new lonn , but It Is generally believed here
that It will be n sure , nnd , perhaps , a great
success. It Is also believed In gooii quarters
that the Issue price" will be higher than nt first
supposed , probably over 110. In this connection
rumors nro cm rent In excessively good quarters
that Ihe Venezuelan question has assumed amore
moro favorable aspect. If the reiiort Is true , and
If the Amarlcan lonn Is a success , Americans
should , from thin point of view , rise sharply ,
because nearly nil the other maikets nret nt the
rceonl point of high prices. At Par.'s the bourne
was firm today and decidedly more active. At
Berlin the markets nrc firm.

1,892 head , ns against 1,890 yesterday and
1,491 on Wednesday of last week. The
market wns In fnlr shape , there being no
Krent change In values either one way or
the other. At the same time there was
nothing- put life Into the trade. Chicago
nnd Kansas City were both reporting largo
runs und dull nnd weak markets , which
was not calculated to stimulate the trade
here. The ttnde. ns a wi'iiie. was slow
and If anything Inclining to the weak side.
While there were not ninny loads of corn-
fed steers In the yards , there were some
right decent cattle among the offerings.
As high ns J3.SK ) was paid for one bunch.
The market on beef steers was very nearly
steady with yesterday , nt least on anything
desirable.
Cows nnd heifers were In fair supply ,
there being not far from twenty loads on
sale. Some of the buyers started out bid
ding a little lower and the feeling wns
weak , but In the end they picked up the de-
slrablo lots nt about yesterday's prices.
The less desirable among the offerings did
not move oft very readily , and the market
on that kind of stuff was. a llttlo easier.
The mnrkct on stackers and feeders was
In about the same condition ns yesterday.

TAPPED AN OPKIO13 SAFI3.
Itoom In the I'nxloii IllocU VlHltvil by

The office of Charles Ogdcn , Prank Holler
anfl Joel W. West , In the Paxton block , was
entered Borne tlmo during the past few days
by burglars and the safe rifled. The dis
covery was not made until today , when the
snfo was examined. It was found that a
$5 bill , a counterfeit for a like amount and
100 nickels of the coinage of 18S3 , belonging
to Heller , had been taken. The other apart-
ner.ts In the safe had been gone through
jut the burglars evidently found nothing
that they considered of value.
The safe , which Is burglar proof , Is always
eft unlocked and consequently no difficulty
tad been found In getting Into It. A furthci
examination of the room developed the fact
hat the burglars had pried open the office
door after a very neat fashion , only a slight
race showing where the chisel had been
'oiced ' In ,
H Is only a few days since that a valuable
pair of fur gloves belonging to Mr. West
wore stolen out of the office by a sneak thief.
The property , however , was recovered and
the thief Is now on the street gang.

The petition of some of the retail butchers
of the city for the closing of the shops on
Sunday represents the sentiment of the largo
downtown dealers who have been fighting
his Issue with the outside establishments
or some time. The outside shops uro kept
pen Sunday and several ineffectual efforts
mvo been made to Induce them to close.
'bo petition which was presented to the
: uncll Tuesday night , asks that the shops
hall be closed entirely on Sunday during the
winter months , and allowed to remain open
ntll 10 a. in , during the summer. As the
ictltton was placed on file by the council the
idvocates of closing1 do not think that they
iavo met with flattering success.

CHARGE OF COX'S ' BRIGADE
Brcnk Down n Door Only to frighten a
Sick Girl.
IMAGINED THEY HAD SCENTED A TIGER
Took the KallliiK of Conl Into
Stove fop Sou nil of a Uon- .
lotto Whi't-l A Homo
OntriiKctl.
A "gambling joint" was ralits-1 Utt Satur
day night by tlio tiollcc. It occurred about
10 o'clock ami was under the direction of
Chief Detective COT.
It nppaars that fio.x had been Informed
that a "ganio" was being run nightly In a
certain room In the old James lludd hotel
at 1013 nml 1015 North Sixteenth strict.
The name of the Informant Is a secret ,
but the opinion Is general that | 10 was nothing
more than a practical hoaxer , who InUndid
to put the detecting abilities of the dslectlvo
force to the test , Iho hotel his slwnyu
been considered a perfectly respectable place
and Is run at the present tlmo by Mr. and
Mrs.V. . O. Lester.
Chief Dctcctlvo Cox act oiit to raid the
hotel and waa accompanied by 931110 coven
or clglit stalwart dcteo'.lvos and policemen ,
all of whom arc supposed to have i ad a
full and complete education on "raids" and
"raiding. " In order that their object nilgai
not bo discovered they were all arrayed in
citizens' clothes.
When the house was roJche.l n 1'ght ' was
scon burning In the front room on the
second floor. The squad o ( t'.otostlvcs halted
on the sidewalk.
"Don't loll us wo are jot detectives , ni-yt"
remarked Cox.
Hubblng his hands In K'OO ' he shrank brck
Into the darUneM , while lie aent one of his
assistants to turn down Ihi ) nrc light on Iho
corner , whlln others wore detailed to de
stroy all traces left upon tlic elmio pave
ment. Huada were put toother nnd the
plan of campaign was finally arranged.
CR13PT UP THE STAIUS.
One by one Iho stalwart but sly end cat-
llko detectives crept up the sviirs. Not a
sound disturbed the deadly slle ice except the
gentle rustling tread of feet which ihook
the furniture In the house. liima'.O' ' ct llio
hotel tuy they thought a party ef
boarders who had been malting motry wrro
coming In. The hend of .ho slalra waa
reached and a whispered consultation was
held. Then slowly , step oy step , the door
of the lighted room was approached.
Suddenly a distinct suppressed nolsa was
heard. It rippled and rattled from behind
the closed door.
"On , your life , keep still , " hissed Cox
through his clenched teeth. " 'TIs the rou
lette wheel. Wo have caught them In the *
very act. "
As was his prerogative he stepped to the
fore. Putting his sturdy shoulder to the
door he gave a mighty heave. The door
collapsed with remarkable suddenness and so
did Cox. Ho sprawled upon the floor nnd
the rest of the squad was upon him. A
scream was heard , a mighty crash and then
a yell which tore up the atmosphere. A
stream of coals beat down npsn tnc uouics
of the prostrate guardians of the peace.
"Murder ! Murder ! " cried out a woman's
voice , while the refrain was taken up by a
man who danced about the room with a foot
In his hands.
"Madam , " said Cox , when ho had picked
himself up , "where Is the roulette wheel ? "
"What roulette wheel ? " demanded the
woman , who was Mrs. Lester.
Cox looked around. Instead of a roulette
wheel and tables and cards and other dev llsh
Instruments of the tiger's lair , he found
himself In very peaceful and Inoffensive sur
roundings. The room was a neatly furnished
sitting room , so far as could bo ascertained.
"I thought I heard a roulette wheel. " Cox
answered. "What was that noise ? "
"There 'was no noise so far as I know , "
answered Mrs. Lester. "Tho porter hero
was pouring a bucketful of coal Into the
Btovo and maybe that Is what you heard. I
do believe that he has broken his toe , " she
continued ns she gazed upon the porter , who
was still nursing his foot.
COX THEN THOUGHT.
Cox did not say much , but he- thought a
good deal when lie looked at his bravo , but
now wilted companions. Ho made no further
remark about a roulette wheel. He stated
that'a mistake had been made , but Insisted
on looking Into an adjoining room. Mrs.
Lester tried to prevent him by saying that
her sick daughter was there. Cox
had a suspicion that there was a roulctta
wheel somewhere. He went Into the room
and found a young woman lying In bed.
There Is a serious side to the story. The
young woman , Miss Lester , had been
seriously 111 for a long time. Frightened by
the noise of the entranca and the sudden ap
pearance of a stranger In her room , she
fainted and It was only by using heroic reme
dies that she was brought back to conscious *
ness. She Is now in a critical condition.
Cox returned to the hotel the day after the
"raid" and apologized for the conduct of the
officers. He also offered to pay for the
brokeu door If nothing would bo said about
the matter.
"I would not take the money , " Bald Mrs.
Lester. "I think the whole affair was dis
graceful. I heard them coming up the stairs' ' ,
but thought It was my husband , who had
gone to the store. I heard them whisper
und then come to the dcor. Then came tha
"
crash. They certainly did "not need to use
violence , because the door was not locked
'and they could have come In by turning the
knob. Cox said ho had a warrant , hut he did
not show me one and I don't believe that lie
had any. "
