Another Smash in
An Early Advance Gives Way to
Heavy Decline Near the
End.
The Market Slowly Working
Back Again to a Commer-
cial Basis.
Rust Reported in Texas, but
Nothing Doing on the Bull
Side.
Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, April 26
Further reaction tollowed In wheat today, prices
going up to l%c by midsessiou. Shorts bought
in. Many bud good profits, but not the profits
they niignt hare had by securing farther down.
Ninety-cent traders are still common enough,
indeed, a good many in the trade look for that
figure, but It ia not to come right away, even
if it comes finally. The feature today was the
working back of conditions towards normal. In
stead of a great rush of wheat to Chicago there
were 70 cars, heavy enough by comparison with
11 la6t year, but still nothing so serious as the
showing of yesterday. In Minneapolis, on the
other hand, there were 102 cars against 58. This
to more as it snould be, for here is where the
wheat is going to be used. Duluth had 7 car3
agaisnt C, Kansas City 32,000 bu against 37,000
and t Louis 8,000 against 8,000.
General lains over Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri,
ninois, Kentucky and Ohio, were the showing on
the weathei map. The northwest was clear this
morning, excopt for the little rain around Min
neapolis, and dry reports continue coming, but
the forecast Is very reassuring. Showers are in
sight tonight for Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan,
Missouri, Wisconsin and Iowa. The Dakotas
need ram, and while no heavy downpour is likely,
the forecast is for cloudy skies and higher tem
peratures and a condition favorable to precipi
tation.
Texas sent reports into St. Louis of rust in
wheat, but the market was not strengthened
thereby. On the contrary, selling developed on
& bar spot and tiie early s&ixx In. prices was
partly lost.
McReynolds sold some red winter a ad hard win
ter wheat in Chicago to go to Maryland and
West Virginia, and several other transactions
were mads that indicated the gradual working
back to a commercial basis.
Primary receipts were 389,000 bu against 184,-
000. Clearances of wheat and flour, 16,000 bu.
Liverpool cabled: All months opened %d high
er, owing to lack of sellers, but later the slight
gain was lost as the result of extreme dullness.
Corn opened %d higher and a further gain of %d
followed, factors being continued good spot de
mand and covering of shorts in May.
Cash wheat sold better here and in other mar
kets.
Near the close a sharp decline was made and
the early advances wiped out entirely. The
market was weak at the close and apparently
headed lower.
May closed at low point, 94%c, and July closed
at 92%@S2%c.

YOUNG JEROME BONAPARTE
French Royalists Look to an American
as Successor to the Pretendership.
New York American.
Young Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte,
who sailed Wednesday for Europe on
board the Blucher, that is to say on a
ship bearing the name of the celebrated
Prussian field marshal who contributed
so much to the downfall of the founder
of the Napoleonic dynasty, will, on his
arrival in Europe, proceed to the south
of France to stay with Empress Eugenie
at her beautiful place on the Eiviera.
The widowed empress has alwaj^s been
particularly well disposed toward her
American relatives, and it was thru
her influence, exercised against that of
the father of the present Bonapartist
pretender, that the council of state at
Paris, the supreme judicial and admin
istrative body in France, decreed as
valid the marriage of King Jerome
Bonaparte, of "Westphalia, to Miss Eliza
beth Patterson*, of Baltimore, at the
same time proclaiming as legitimate the
son borne to this union.
While Napoleon III. sanctioned this
decree he refrained from conferring
upon this -eldest son of King Jerome by
his American' wife, the title of prince.
Inasmuch, however, as the decision of
the council of state, endowed with full
validity, according to French law, the
ecclesiastical match of ex-King Jerome
and Miss Patterson, it was their son,
Jerome by name, and an American citi
zen', who was senior to the children
born of the old king's subsequent mar
riage to Princess Caroline of Wurtem
burg, and inasmuch as Prince Victor,
the present Bonapartist pretender, and
his brother Prince Louis, are descended
from this seconVl marriage, their rights
to the chieftainship of the house of
Bonaparte are inferior to those of young
Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte, the
American citizen, who is great-grandson
of King Jerome by his first and Balti
more marriage.
In fact, there are many people in'
Europe, and in particular a large num
ber of Bonapartists, who already regard
the young American, Jerome Bonaparte,
as the head of the family and as thelosses
heir to the old king's "dukedom of
Montfort, while the death of his cous
ins, Prince Victor an*d Prince Louis,
both of whom are unmarried, would
leave him and his father's younger
brother, Charles Bonaparte, of Balti
more, the only legitimate male members
of that great house of Bonaparte, which
played so extraordinary a role in the
history of the world thruout the great
er portion, of the nineteenth century.

NEW YORK COTTON, April 26.The cotton
market opened firm at an advance of 4@6 points
and was soon 7 to 8 points net higher on an ac
tive demand from shorts based on firmer cables
than expected and evidences of an announced de
mand from spinners in the English market. Eut
the weather south was fine, there was continued
talk of free offerings of low grades and theto
rally attracted a renewal of bear pressure which
soon depressed the list to about the opening
figures, following which trading was less active
and fluctuations irregular.

ring-tailed coon, McCallum lost heart.
The lion was seen a few days ago in
his cage by Jack Cook. The lion tipped
the beam at 175 pounds, but Cook said
his old coon could lick him.
The other morning Cook's coon was
thrown into the cage with the lion. The
fight
beganki

S liona
made
stoes With his paws
at
once,.
The
coon, but the wily little- anima- proved
to be an adept at dodging all the blows.
No quicker would the blow of the lion
prove futile than the coon would grab
him by the throat and begin to claw
with all his might. He would soon
loosen his hold and jump away. This
was repeated for about twenty-five
minutes, when the lion, bleeding pro
fusely, skulked to a corner and refused
to battle further.
The coon was taken out of the cage
with hardly a scratch on him and ap
parently proud of his work with his
heavy antagonist. The little ring-tailed
animal weighs about twenty pounds, but
Jack Cook says he is worth his weight
in gold.
