The 5-ocnt bulge In the Chicago wheat market yesterday was the chief factor in Btimulatingr the local market. At tho Mer chants Exchange b'uejstem and forty-fold bids for April delivery raieed 4 cents over Saturday, and offers for club and red wheat for the current months were 3 cents higher. May wheat bids wero unchanged to 3 cents up. There was a little better local demand as & consequence of the upturn, and a moderate amount of business was reported in bluestcm on the basis of fl.04 and $1.0.1. There was also Eastern inquiry, particu Jarly for red fife. California buyers did not appear to be Interested. All country reports agreed In saying that farmers were not In a selling mood, while the market Is advancing. They have been holding out for ?1 at country points, and are not likely to let go now when they think their hop3a may soon be realized. The big Jump at Chicago appears to have been based on Snow's estimate of Winter wheat crop condition at 78.S per cent, as against 88.5 per cent last year. Some of th-a grain authorities here figure the total American crop may be 23 per cent less than that of 11)15, and the carry over, large Though it is, will not offset this. Broomhall, In his International wheat re view, cays of the outlook in Europe: "Wheat is commencing to arrlva freely in the United Kingdom, and the visible supply, as well as stocks, is increasing, and it is estimated that the. invisible supply is 8,000, O00 larger alnce January 1. We fed con fident that supplies will continue liberal, but a large part will not come on the mar ket before July. Some predict that the Continent will take the bulk from Argen tina and Australia for orders, but if this proves correct the Continent will require less from the United States and Canada. .Freights are quiet at the recent reduction, and we are convinced that Germany's sub marine campaign is doomed to failure, owing to the fact that new tonnage makes good jnoet of the losses. Prices in the near future will depend upon weekly shipments, to gether with crop news from America and lYance." The local barley and oats markets were Quiet. April bids for both cereals were un changed, but May offers were 60 cents higher. The flour market Is firm In sympathy with the advance in wheat. At the ex change 100 tons of April bran were sold at $21.5. Terminal receipt in cars wre reported by the Merchants Exchange as follows: Wheat Barley Flour oats nay "Portl'nd, Mon.

Touisiana Berries Tomorrow. - There was a good supply of asparagus on the street yesterday, and H was in active demand at 710 cents a pound. It is likely that the price of California asparagus has reached bottom for this season. With the coming of warmer weather, the demand for Florida tomatoes has increased. A fresh shipment of Douglas County cauli flower wan received yesterday and brought $1.25 to $1.50. Another lot of Florida new potatoes will arrive the latter part of the week. No California strawberries were received yesterday. A part car of Louisiana berries will be on hand tomorrow and will sell at $3.75 per 24-basket crate. EGGS ARE ONE-II A LF ' CENT HIGHER Outside Demand Not So Keen a Last Week. The week opened with the egsr market about half a cent lower than the range that prevailed Saturday. There was still outside demand, and X. was not as keen as last week. Receipts were of fair size and promise tA be heavy today. However, egg dealers do not look for any marked decline "in the price t this time. The eggs coming In now are of fine quality, and that is several points in their favor. Arrivals of poultry and country dressed meats were small. There was a good d. mand for the former and, the latter were steady. - No change was reported in the butter situation. Bank Clearings.

BUYING IS ON LARGE SCALE Prediction of Decrease of 165r000,- 0 00 Bushels in Winter Wheat Production Starts Prices on TTp Grade Coarse Cereals Up. CHICAGO, April 3. Wheat ran up 5e a bushel In value todav. chiefly because ot predictions that the domestic Winter crop this season would be 165.000,000 bushels less than the yield in 1915. The market closed strong, 4c to 4c net higher, with May at $1.20 and July at $1.19. Corn gained fec to lc and. ioats c to lc. In provisions the outcome varied from the same as Saturday's finish to 10c higher. Broad, activity, as well as a big upward swing to prices, kept traders on edge all day in the wheat pit. Today's top figures showed that in a week the market had made an extreme gain of 13 c a bushel Asser tions that the domestic Winter crop at present showed the lowest condition for any' crop since 1904 started prices sharply upgrade.- According to a leading authority here,- the percentage is 78. S, as against SS.G las year.- On this basis the probable max imum -yield for 1016 was estimated at 490, 000.000 bushels, compared with 655.000,000 bushels in 1915. Corn strength was derived mainly from wheat. Oats were bullishly affected by reports of delay to seeding in some sections. In addition there were advices of a probable big decrease of acreage In Canada. Provisions advanced in sympathy with grain and hogs. During the later transac tions, though, realizing sales by holders wiped out most of the gains. Leading future ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. High. Low. Close.

CURIOSITY KILLS FELINE Fonr Departments of Xew York City Government Sent to Kcscne. NEW YORK, March 16. Curiosity, as you may recall On the fifth floor of tne apartment house at 202 West One Hundred and Thirtieth street lives Miss Mabel God frey. "When she camo to the house about seven months ago she brought Blackie, a cat of several years' expe rience of life. The cat seldom left the apartment. He was a hearth cat. not a fence cat, and did not dearly love to sing. In other respects he was normal and hence curious. Last Tuesday afternoon when Miss Godfrey was out Blackie skipped into the grate fireplace in a rear room. He had done this many times ' before. But he had not climbed up- the flue to the the screen separating the apartment flue from the main chimney, cryins tor assistance. Miss Godfrey, returning, tried to induce her pet to come down. If you are one experienced in felinity, you know that Blackie didn't come down. 1 On Wednesday the cat, curiosity un satisfied, tried to climb higher and fell to the first floor. His cries could still be heard by Miss Godfrey, who, to effect Blackie's rescue, communi cated with the following' departments: 1. Police department. 2. Fire department. 3. Health department. 4. Building department, 5. "Washington Heights Court. Among them thev lowered a rope" to Blackie. But it availed neither the cat nor them anything. Thursday morning, just before noon, a plumber opened the rear wall back of the chimney. Blackie was taken out. His fall had injured his back. Ten min utes later Blackie died. W. A. EATGHEL RESIGNS DUTIES AS OVERSEER Of COfRT HOl SK TO BE TRANSFERRED. Reason for Antagonistic Report Snir- fceated by Presence on Jury of Former Employe. Because of the demand unon his time by road and quarry work, W. A. Eatchel, superintendent of county properties, will resign from his duties as overseer of the Courthouse. This announcement was made by Countv Commissioner Ligrhtner yesterday. The resignation will- not take effect until a successor is appointed. Though the report of the Februarv- March grand jury Saturday recom mended that Mr. Eatchel be removed from charge of the Courthouse, the change has been under consideration for more than a week. Mr. Lightner saia yesterday that he had realized that Mr. Eatchel had been given too mucn worit and that his relief from Courthouse duties had been considered tor some time. Following his resignation as build lng superintendent, it is assumed that Mr. Eatchel will devote all his time to the road projects of the county and the rock-crushing work at Kelly Butte. A reason for the antagonistic reoort of the grand jury with regard to Mr. Eatchel's activities is suggested by tho fact that S. J. Landon, one of the jury men, according to a report to the Com missioners, had been employed under Mr. Eatchel at Kelly Butte at one time and had been discharged for unwilling ness to work.
