CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Chicago, Ills. —Frost predictions and
bullslh cables made a firm market today
for wheat. Strength developed chleflv
in the May option. Prices started the
same as last night to 5-8 higher but all
of the gain was not held.
Continued reports of storms in Argen
tina gave the corn market a lift. The
opening was unchanged to 3-8 higher and
there was a rltglit further ascent before
free selling brought a reaction.
Oats rose with corn.
Higher prices fir hogs carrirt provis
ions to a material rise all around.
Tile wheat market afterward became
weak, lightness of outside trade being
a discouragement to buyers and there
being a current opinion that the insect
damage had been eliminated as a source
of danger to the crop. Closed heavy
same as last night to l-2aa-8 lower.
Additional strength came from Jvicea
that’ Argentine shippers were endeavor
ing to buy back corn sold for shipment
up to May 20th. Closed flTme at an
advance of 1-2 to 7-8.

day. Were Trying To Escape
When Caught.
A crowd of seven men were the vic
tims of a daylight raid today at 1:30 p.
m. In room S 2 of the Planters’ Hotel.
They -were In the midst of a friendly
game of poker, of which the police
somehow got wind, when they were
surprised by a knock at the door. In
stead of opening the door, they quietly
slipped Into the next room.
Sergeant Elliott, with Policemen Te
bow, Blackwell, and M. L. Mathews,
who were conducting the raid, climbed
up and looked into the transom. They
saw only a table and a pile of over
turned chairs. doing to the next tran
som, however, they saw the tru n all
huddled up together In the second room
But one member of the party whom they
had expected to see was not there, and
they began to wonder where I hat gen
tleman was, till as they waSchcd they
saw a rope suddenly thrown into the
window of the room.
At once realizing that the seventh hud
escaped and was seeking to rescue the
other six, Officers Blackwell and Tebow
ran around the corner of the corridor
Into the rooms whose windows were at
right angles ot those of room 82, and In
one of the rooms nabbed the gentleman
In the very act of throwing a second
Vope. How he got out and secured the
rope in so short a time is still a mys
tery.
Waiting no longer to be admitted Into
room 82, the officers of the law broke
down the door, and brought ail seven to
the barracks, where they gave bond and
were inscribed in the stale hook on a
charge of gambling.
