ment to a portion of those recently credited
with buying for a rise, they sold heavily at the
opening' and continued free sellers during the
greater part of the day. This large offering
was well taken by the market at an average of 5
points lower. Aside 'from this there were no
new features. The close was very steady, and
offering both moderate and careful.”

Chicago, May 3.— Tito wheat market was ac
tive and stronger to-day, accompanied by a
moderate advance in prices. The market opened
at 839$c for June, sold to 84c several times,broke
off to 83V$c, but closed in the latest trading 83%
@B4e, with May at 82c. Wheat buyers were di
vided among the local crowd, but none of them
wanted any large amounts early in the day. In
the afternoon, however, they looked on it as a
better purchase and June advanced to 81c.
There was little or no news and not king of im
portance about. There was an unusual after
talk on Hie subject of yesterday's delivery. It
Is now positive tv known that Kershaw paid for
about. 4.000.000 bushels of cash, and that an
equal quantity was divided among other houses.
The belief is now that the “clique” owns practi
cally all the cash wheat. The reported exjsjrt
demand was one of the strengthening features.
Corn was active and rtjin. Receipts showa fall
ing off and operators were more inclined to pur
chase. The market opened a shade higher at
3979 c for June, rose to 39%c and closed at out
side figures Oats in better demand and
stronger. Receipts are falling off. The market
closed 79c higher. Mess pork was in moderate
demand in the way of settling up trades at cur
rent rates. laird opened steady and gradually
fell back and closed 10c lower than yesterday.
Short rilis were qulto weak, closing 1774@2t0

Burgess Slocum’s Flat-Head.
From the .Veto York Evening Sun.
When the men wore digging a well near
Borough Burgess Slocum’s place in Green
vricli last winter they found a flat-head ad
der, frozen stiff as! a poker. Burgess Slo
cum put the snake in a cigar box, and many
a merry moment had he as he offered dif
ferent friends a cigar and gave them the
box to help themselves. The hand that en
tered the box was most amusingly and sud
denly withdrawn. An entomologist who
happened in the Burgess’ store asserted
that w hen the warm weather came the
snake would awake from his frozen sleep,
bin the Burgess laughed at him.
“It’s frozen stiff dead,” said he, “and you
can’t thaw it out.”
Boon the Burgess’ friends grew wary
when he offered mgars, and the box was
cast under the counter and forgotten.
A few days ago Burgess Slocum saw a
man from the back country, and him the
Busgess thought he would offer a cigar. The
box was brought forth, and as the Burgess
held it in his band, smiling with good na
ture, the lid slowly lifted and there protrud
ed a great brown flat-head and a pair of
beady, black eyes. The smile on Burgess
Slocum’s tru e was gone,and there was agony
instead. He dnrenot throw the snake on the
floor, it might creep among his barrels and
hexes, so he pressed the lid down, and in a
frenzv of excitement chucked box, snake
and all, in the stove. That awoke flat-head
to the fullest possession of his senses, and he
made things more lively in Burgess Slocum’s
store thim they had ever been when cigars
were offered in the cold weather. When
flathearl was killed with the poker, Burgess
.Slocum his hood, as here
fleeted tmdPjPp;! list and worst scare hod
