Prices Heach n Higher Point Than Ther Hute Keen For 'rvrral " eeks. Chicago. Oct. 23. —A steady advance has marked the wheat market since the middle of the week, attended by au in creased outside interest, which Friday suddenly took on the proportions of a boom and put prices at a higher point than they have been for several weeks. One feature of the market during the early part of the week was the selling out by the bull clique of their December holdings on every strong spot and the taking on of a new line of May. The changing was done systematically and its effect was to gradually but surely narrow the spread between the two op tions. Locally the feeling has been improved by a decided falling off in the north west receipts. This was said to be nue to the farmers paying attention to their seeding and plowing after the breaking of the drouth. The liquidation of De cember and the taking on of May be came more pronounced during the lat ter nart of week, and on Friday in terest was fairiy divided between' tile two options. Statements in regard to the wheat re quirements of European countries have received substantial corroboration through the greatiy increased export demand. December has ranged between 90% and 94%. The range for May was 88% and 93%. PULLMAN IS LAID TO REST. JKWneral Service* nt the Late Sleeping Car Magnate Held at Chicago. Chicago, Oct. 23.—The funeral ser vices of the late George M. Pullman were held at the family residence in Prairie avenue. The officiating clergy men were Rev. Drs. S. J. McPherson, N. D. Hillis and O. K.

Each minister spoke briefly, the Imperial quartette sang a selection and the casket was closed. The interment was in the family lot at Graceland. The trains of the morn ing brought from every section men who had been intimate friends and bus ness associations of the sleeping car magnate in life. Among the relatives to reach the city were Mrs. Gibbs and William Hinton, niece and nephew ot the late millionaire, who live in Texas. Many prominent people from Chicago added to the concourse which filled the house. Mrs. Frank Carolan of San Francisco, the dead man’s daughter, arrived, and although completely exhausted at tended the rites and took the long jour, uey to Graceland.
