PRESS A BUTTON FOR A" COP "
The Pneumatic Folic Propeller and
Public Protection Company.
Philadelphia Record.
Not content with his successes in
organizing the Philadelphia Snow
Shoveling and Pavement Cleaning
Company, the Anti-Beach Destroy
ing and Storm Quelling Company,
and the Catapaultic Rapid Transit
and Ariel Company, all of which
have been fully explained in the
Record, H. Wrigley Smith is about to
eclipse even his former brilliant
efforts as an inventor and organizer.
His new invention will revolutionize
the entire police department, and
will render the safety of the public
assured. ;
With a view of organizing a cor
poration for the successful operation
of the scheme, Mr. Smith yesterday
called upon Director Beitler. The
director being closeted with Superin
tendent Linden discussing the latest
and most improved styles in raids,
Mr. Smith was unable to see him.
But to a Record reporter he consent
ed to give a brief outline of just
what the invention;- proposed to do.
"In the first place," he said, "I
wish to organize a company to be
known as the Pneumatic Company;
It is a well known fact that a police
officer is never in sight when wanted,
and usually turns up like a rainbow
after the storm. By this simple de
vice he can be hustled to the scene
of action in less than no time. He
Js obliged to get there whether he'
wants to or not. My idea is simply
to flood the city with underground
pneumatic lubes, with funnel-shaped
openings at eacb corner. An electric
button is placed at1 each of these sta
tions, which, upon being pressed,
registers at the city hall, and an
. officer is immediately dispatched to
the scene of action.
"At the very highest estimate the
plan would cost the city only $10,
000,000. This could easily.be made
' up in cutting down the police force,
as only about one half .of the present
force would be required. To illus
trate how successful the thing would
work and what perfect protection to
the public would be assured, let us
just imagine a case. Suppose a lot
of young ruffians were, congregated
on the street, playing 'knock-out or
pussy' or any of those objectionable
games so vigorously opposed by the
police authorities. You are walking
along the street. Suddenly you
come across the horrible spectacle.
Of course no policeman is in sight,
but you immediately rush to the" cor
ner and push the button. There is a
whizzing sound, and in about three
seconds the iron door, bursts open
-and a blue-coated guardian of the
peace shoots out, club in hand, ready
-to cope with the desperate law
breakers." 1
Mr. Smith is confident that as soon
as he can gain an interview with
. Director Beitler, the organization of
the company will be assured, as sev
eral prominent local capitalists are
eager to invest money in the scheme.
ABOUT HATS.
Origin of the Tall Hat Its Parlia
mentary ITse.
Youth's Companion.
The tall hat, variously called "chim
ney pot," ''stove pipe," "cylinder"
and what not, became fashionable in
Paris in 1 90, soon after the death of
Franklin, in whose honor it was known
as "chapeau Franklin." In spite of.
numberless changes of style, it has
maintained its ground ever since, un
expected as such a result would have
. seemed at its first introduction. For
a time this style of hat was consider
ed revolutionary in Germany and
I Russia; any one wearing a "cylinder"
I was liable to punishment; but the
' evil reputation soon passed away,
and the tall, stifl hat, the ugliest head
covering that was ever worn and the
most ridiculed, outlives all other
styles. ';.
In a celebrated beer garden in Mu
nich the Hofbrauhaus, any man dar
ing to appear in a cylinder is likely
to have it crushed flat over his head,
time-honored tradition declaring that
here, if anywhere, a tall hat is out of
place.
On the contrary, no honorable
member sits in the English House of
Commons without his "pot" hat on
his head. If he rises to address the
House, greet a friend or cross the
room, he must hold his shiny tile in
his hand. Should his name be men
tioned in the speech of another mem
ber, he lifts his hat respectfully. Jjf
it is in his hand when his name is ut
tered etiquette requires him to clap
it hastily on his head in order that
he may lift it with proper deference.
In one of the European I Parlia
ments, when the president finds it
necessary to end an argument, he
gravely puts on his cylinder. Though
it happened nearly thirty years ago,
people still laugh at the recollection
of a certain president who, to close a
celebrated debate, took up his neigh
bor's hat by mistake. It was far too
big for him and, falling down about
his ears, snuffed him out completely
from the gaze of the crowded house.
Less aggressive, but equally strik
' ing to a stranger, is the Englishman's
fashion of covering his face with his
tall hat as soon as he has . taken . his
seat in his pew in church. -
The Arabs, when they wish to pro-
; nounce their most forcible maledic
tion, say : "May thy soul know no
more rest than the hat on the head
of a European."

-v PRACTICAL USE OF KITES. -
They May be Employed In Oaaea of
Shipwreck. A
The New York Sun says Dr. J.
Woodbndge Davis, of that city, has
been experimenting with kites, with
a view to controlling their move
ment. Many years ago it occurred
to Mr. Davis that if a kite could be
cntrolbd it might be very Valuable
as an adjunct to life-saving aparatus.
When a vessel goes on a reef or is
helpless near the shore the wind is
nearly ; always dead on shore and
blowjag a stiff gale. Thus. the life
saving stations have to shoot their
lines out toward the helpless vessel,
with the disadvantage of a stiff breeze
retarding the line, and with the fur
ther difficulty of the long and uncer
tain distance. Mr. Davis says he has
heard of several cases of shipwreck
where the shipwrecked sailors had
built kites and had tried to send a
line on shore. tBut in none of, these
cases was there any success. But Dr.
Davis thought the idea was a good
one if a Itite could be controlled.
And it was this problem he set him
self to solve. .
He experimented with the various
kinds of kites and with different
ways of rigging their bridles. He
also felt that if a vessel was to carry
several of these kites their size would
make them unwieldy. So he built a
kite that could be folded up until it
was almost as small as an umbrella.
He now has the rigging arranged so
that in any wind the kite is under
control. In one of his experiments
he sent a boat out in the river and
then sent out his kite and lowered it
so accurately that one of the men in
the boat bit off a piece of the tail.
Dr. Davis thinks that with the aid of
a wind guage and an accurately de
termined reel, a kite could be held
steady in even a gusty gale." A ves
sel could carry several kites of a dif
ferent build, to be used according to
the violence ot the wind. For very
high winds a frame of light steel
might be used. -
A further advantage of the kite as
a means of sending a line from a
shipwrecked vessel to the shore or to
a rescuing vessel as against the send
ing of the line in the other direction,
as the practice now is, would be the
Tact that the distance to which a kite
can be flown is greater than the dis
tance to which a line may be shot. ,
j. Dr. Davis hopes that, as he gets
further into the means of controlling
kites, he may develop some way of
long-distance signalling both for sea
and land. He can make the kites
write out letters in the air, and with
a lantern tied to the kite at night the
darkness need not interfere. The
trouble is that to support a kite of
any size a wind of at least twelve
miles an hour is necessary, and -such
a wind would not always be available.
But in cases of shipwreck the wind is
almost always high.

The Second Sober Thought Will Rule
North Carolina.
National Democrat.
When the National Democrat ' call
ed the Hon. John S. Henderson's at
tention to the claims made by the
Alliai.ce leaders in North Carolina,
he said: "As I understand the situ
ation, the Alliance leaders claim that
they will control the State conven
tion, adopt the St. Louis platform
and instruct the delegates to the
National Convention to offer . the
platform in that convention, and in
the event of its certain rejection, re
tire. Well, it can't be done. It will
be a Democratic State convention.
The St. Louis platform will not be
adopted, and the Chicago delegation
will be straight Democrats. I
know something about the strength
of the Democratic-party in- North
Carolina; something about its Organ
ization and its power. It will never
go to pieces on the lines indicated by
the third party leaders. There are
no signs of disintegration. Its mis
sion is not yet ended. It is com
posed of brave and courageous men,
who cannot be alarmed by clamor. I
have reason to believe that the Al
liance, as an organization, will not
support any third party scheme. The
second sober thought w 11 rule North
Carolina id this emergency, as it has
always dtfne.' Unmask the new
leaders, and let the people once un
derstand their purpose and correctly
apprehend the consequences, and
that will end it. Our people are
fully apprized of the movement and
the peril that threatens the party.
They will be prepared for it when
the State convention meets. They
are not yet whipped, nor very seri
ously alarmed." , y

The great success ot the Royal Baking
Powder is due to the extreme care exer
cised by its manufacturers to make it
entirely pure, uniform in quality, and of
the highest leavening power. All the
scientific knowledge, care and skill, at
tained by a twenty years practical
expe lence are contributed' toward this
end, and no pharmaceutical preparation
can be dispensed with a greater-accuracy,
precision and exactness. Avery article
used is absolutely pure. A number of
chemists are employed to test the
strength of each ingredient, so that its
exact power and effect in combination
with its ' co-ingredients is definitely
known. Nothing is trusted to chance,
and no person is employed in the pre
paration of the materials used or the
manufacture of the powder, who is not
an expert in his particular branch of the
business. As a consequence, the Royal
Baking Powder is of the' highest grade
of excellence, always pure, wholesome
and' uniform in quality. Each box is
exactly like every other, and will retain
its powers and produce the same and
the highest leavening effect in any
climate, at any time. The Government
Chemists after having analyzed all the
principal brands in the market, in their
reports placed the Royal Baking row
der at the head of the list for strength
purity and wholesomeness, and thous
ands of tests all over the country have
further demonstrated the fact that its
qualities are, in every respect, unrivaled

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Mr. Richardson, of Tennessee, from
the Committe? on Printing submitted
the report of the Committee on Keso-
utions, ottered t.y Mr. Williams, or Mas
sachusetts, tn expunge from the record
that po tsorr of the speech of his col-
eague (Mr. Walker) which was pub
lished in the Record, but not uttered bv
him on the floor. The report which
reviews the speech in detail, ends with'
a resolution declaring that the House,
deeming it a high duty that courtesy
and decorum required by parliamentary
law and practice, should characterize
the debate and conduct of members at
all times in their official relations, here
by express its disapproval of the unpar
liamentary language used by the Hon.
Jo-eph H. Walker, Representative from
the State of Massachusetts; that portion
of his speech was primed in the Record
of the 17th inst., but was not delivered
on the floor, and considering it imprac
ticable to separate the unparliamentary
portions of the speech from such parts
as may be parliamentary, resolved that
the Public Printer is directed to exclude
from the permanent Coneresseonal Re
cord all of that portion of his speech be
ginning with the ; word "hot spot for
mugwumps, &c, and the words ''for
ear marks are on it.' This includes the
undelivered portion of the speech.
Mr. Richardson asked that the report
be printed in the Record, - and gave no
tice that he would call it up for action
to-morrow, or at the earliest possible
opportunity.
ihe House then went into Committee
of the Whole, Mr. Wilson, of West Vir
ginia, in the chair, on the Army Appro
priation bill. . '
A long preliminary argument ensued
upon the point -of order raised by Mr.
Craiiu of Texas, against a provision of
the bill that hereafter no money appro
priated for army transportation shall be
used in payment of transportation of
troops and supplies of the array over the
non-aided line owned, 'controlled or
operated by the Union PacificRailroad
Co., or by the Soutnern Pacific Lx.,over
lines embraced in its Pacific system.
The chairman sustained the point of
order; his principal ground for decision
being that the proviso made a perma
nent law.
Mr. Outhwaite offered an amendment
making the same provision, but making
it applicable only to the present bill.
This was agreed to and the committee
having arisen, the bill was passed.'
The H-use then went into Committee
of the Whole on the Free Wool bill.
Mr. Goodnight, of Kentucky, assailed
the protective system.
Mr. bnodarass, ot lennessee, con
sumed his time in opposition to the bill
donating five million dollars to the
World s Fair.
Mr. Warner, of New York, argued
that under the protective tariff the price
of mutton had gone down, down, down,
until Irom being one ol the most pros
perous industries ; in this country, the
raising of wool had become one that
every prudent man would avoid. Some
of Mr Warner's remarks brought de
nial from Mr. Dingiey, and these gentle
men indulged in a tariff dialogue for
some time. "i "
After remarks by Mr. Wheeler, of
Alabama, in favor of the bill, the com
mittee rose and the House adjourned.

OF REPRESENTATIVES,
Interest in the question of free coin
age of silver was I manifested in the
House this morning by an increased
attend tnce of members, by unusal ac
tivity of the corps of newspaper corres
pondents and by the crowd that thronged
the galleries. The deplomatic gallery,
which as a general thing presents an
array ot empty benches,' to-day .added
its auota of eager spectators. On the
floor members clustered together in lit
tle groups and discussed the situation,
anti-silver men being appearantly more
active in their missionary work than
men in favor of free coinage. Messrs.
Tracey, of New York, Harter, of Ohio,
and Hoar, of Massachusetts, were ubi
quitous.. The leader of the silver forces,
Mr. Bland, of Missouri, was not prompt
in making his appearance, evidently
confident that his able lieutenents would
map out the work of the campaign with
out his personal supervision.
Alter the introduction of several bills,
Mr. Bland," who had entered the hall,
called up the special order, being the
bill for the free coinage of Fold, and sil
ver, and for the issue of coin notes. -
The bill having been reported in full,
Mr.: Bland took the floor, but was im
mediately: taken therefrom "'by. Mr.
Tracey, of New York, with the point of
order that the bill must receive its first
consideration in Committee of - the
Whole, as it involved a charge upon the
Treasury. ; :.r.: ' . '
Mr. Dmgley supported this point,
which was antagonized by Mr. Bland, oi
Missouri, and Was overruled by the
Chair, who stated that the matter had
been examined at the time ol the report
of the bill from the committee.-;
On moti -n of Mr. Bland, a resolution
was adopted providing for evening ses
sions to-night and to-morrow night for
general debate on the silver bill. -
Mr. Watson, of Georgia, wanted some
time granted in the discussion to mem
bers ot the third party. "We .stand
here," said he, "as . an jodependent
party.".: , . .. ..
"We are all independent on this ques
tion." retorted Mr. Bland amid applause
and laughter. - i
Mr. Bland then was permitted to pro-
ct-ed with bis speech. :
In conclusion, Mr. island said: "I ap
peal to the gentlemen on this floor to
lay aide every idea - of party exigency.
every idea but that which is just and
right, and cast their votes according to
the dictates of their conscince, and ot
the pledges they made to the great
productive massses of this countrv.- If
they do that, this bill is safe; this cause
is won." ; l Applause. I
At the conclusion of Mr. Bland's
speech, Mr. Taylor, of Illinois, of the Re
publican side, obiected to Mr. Williams,
a Democratic opponent of free coinage,
opening the discussion in opposition ro
the bill, "The majority of the minority
of the Coinage. Committee," said he,
Desire me to open the discussion for
the only party that is opposed to this
measure, mensive laughter from the
Republican side. ; f
1 he Speaker held that the views of
the minority and the substitute of the
minority having been presented by Mr.
Williams, all precedents gave that gen
tleman the pnviledge of opening the
discussion in opposition to the bill.
Mr. Boutelle said he would deprecate
any recognition of Mr. Williams as rep
resenting the majority side ot the oppo
nents of the silver side of the House.

of any importance, was one to strike out
the provision to assign army officers as

amendment occupied the remainder of

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
The silver debate in the House of
Representatives to-day showed the in
tensity of the public interest in that great
question which now faces the Fifty
second Congress for : solution, . ' and
threatens to become the political issue
in the Presidential campaign of next
autumn. The speeches were all of a
positive character; they were the argu
ments ot men who have stern convic
tions upon the sides which they respec
tively rt-present, and who are uncom
promising in their declarations of the
policy which should be pursued. Grad
ually a conviction is forcing itself upon
members that it is to be no drawn bat-
tlek that the' issue is one which cannot
be averted, and that the day is near at
hand when the House of Representa
tives must declare on a yea and nay
vote its position on the great question
of free coinage.
Gentlemen who pinned their hopes on
the chances of compromise at ihe last
hour by the substitution of the bill pro
viding for an international monetary
Congress, are losing courage to-day, and
even the indomitable Tracey. of New
York, concedes that the free coinage bill
will have clear majority it a final vote is
ever reached upon its passage. . r ree
coinage men anticipate their opponents
will resort to filibustering and are pre
pared to invoke the aid of the Commit
tee on Rules at the outset. In that
event Mr. Tracey announces that the
first motion to be made by the oppo
nents of the bill at the conclusion ot the
debate and before any. disposition to
filibuster is manifested, will be in the
form of a resolution re-committing the
bill to the Coinage Committee, with in
structions to report a substitute bill pro
viding for an international -monetary
Congress for the adjustment of the en
tire silver problem. If it is defeated, all
resources of parliamentary rules will
then be invoked to tire -the
friends of the bill and prevent
a final vote upon its passage. The gal
leries were crowded when the Speaker s
gavel rapped the House to order at
noon to-day, and there was no abate
ment from the great interest manifested
at the opening hours of the debate yes
terday. The floor and the lobbies of the
House, too, were well crowded with ex-
members and Senators, and on a sofa in
the rear of the hall was seated A. I.: War
ner, well known as one of the fathers of
the free coinage movement. In the gal
leries were seated many bankers and
financial experts from all over the coun
try, and the Western-Union wires on the
outside busy ; bearing hasty messages
that flashed to the country the progress
of the discussion, and conveyed to the
great financial centres every indication
that appeared in the political atmos
phere. After some unimportant routine
proceedings, the Silver bill was taken up.
"L desire to notice, said Chairman
Bland at the opening of the debate,"that
at 2 o clock to-morrow 1 shall demand
the previous question on the Silver bill
and pending amendments.
This means merely that debate will
close at 2 o'clock to-morrow and that a
final vote will then be taken on the bill
and amendments, unless its opponents
inaugurate a series ot filibustering tac
tics.' . ",-!., . : i
The first speaker of the day was Rep
resentative Pierce, of Tennessee, the
able young : lieutenant of Chairman
Bland on the Coinage Committee. "In
the discussion of the pending measures,'
he said, "if I did not believe that the
free and unlimited coinage of silver was
for the best interest of the whole, people
of the country, I should not so warmly
support this measure. It is only by going
back to the . past upon this question of
bimetalism that we can properly under
stand this great question, for the ques
tion of to-day is whether we shall nave
bimetalism or monometalism. Going
back to 1816, beginning with the action
of the great nations of -the world upon
this question, we find that great mdus
trial England was prosperous and happy
until she struck down silver and discard
ed it as one of her coin . metals. The
voice of labor . then, as now, was un-r
heeded, and the result was that the next
three years witnessed a period of de
pression, distress and suffering hitherto
unknown in the kingdom of Great .Brit
ain. This is a matter of history and
cannot be controverted. - "
! In concluding, Mr. Pierce . cited the J
speech of Mr. Mills in the last House in
support of free coinage and insisted that
the gentleman; from Texas, to make bis j
record consistent, must support the bill !
now before the House. . Great applause
greeted the closing announcement", of
Mr. Pierce that whatever Williams.
Harter; Hoar and other anti-free coinage
Democrats might do in the event of
passage of this bill by the House, the
Democratic advocates of free coinage
tood ready to Support the nominee of
the Democratic convention at Chicago,
whether the platform of that convention
declared for free coinage or not. - ;
Mr.: btone, .of Pennsylvania, de
nounced the pending bill as being not a
bill for free coinage, of gold' and silver,'
but a bill for unlimited issue of paper
money. He had suspicion that this bill
is an heirloom of the Bland family
Laughter. In reading the history ot
his country he discovered that one
Richard Bland was a leading member of
the House of Burgesses of Virginia in
1748; he was a man of patriotism and
ability, but like bis distinguished name
sake of -to-lday, rhe seemed to
labor under the idea that the economie
and financik system of his days needed
tinkering withj Laughter In those
days the currency of Virginia seemed to
have been tobacco in hogsheads of 950
pounds. Laughter The inconvenience
of carrying around the legal tender of
the day' naturally aroused a desire on
the part of the people of the; day to de
vise a more convenient system of cur
rency. This desire took shape in "the
Bland bill of 1748. Laughter This bill
was almost the counterpart of the bill of
to-day. It provided for the establish
ment of Government warehouses and
appointment of j Government inspectors
in charge of them; The Bland bill of
tOrday provides for the use of mints
already erected.! The bill of 1748 pro
vided. .for the deposit of any amount of
tobacco by any person and the issue of
tobacco notes therefor toie accepted as
legal tender and receivable for debts and
dues of the Government. The bill of
to-day provides for a deposit of silver
bullion, whether owned by an inhabitant
of England, of Africa, or America, and
issue therefor com notes as legal tender
receivable tor debts and dues of the Gov
ernment. ILaughter.1 This bill is not
bit! for free and unlimited coinage of
silver, but a bill for unlimited purchase
of silver bullion.! There were nine bills
before the committee that did provide
for tree coinage, but thev were all laid.
aside and this jbill reported in their
stead. The effect of this bill by repeal-
ng the act of two vears ago the act of
1890 would be to restore the act of 1878.
'Does the gentleman take that posi
tion ?" inquired Bland, "that to repeal
the act of July 4.) 1790, would revive the
force of the previous act, thereby re
pealed?" :
"Yes sir.
"That is a position 'contrary to all
principles of law that I ever heard of."
said Bland. "The act of 1890 repeals
the portion of the act of 1878. Now this
bill in repealing the: act Of 1H90 does not
restore the act of 1878 at all."
Mr. Stone persisted that Mr. Bland
was wrong and that the passage of the
pending bill would be to revive the act
of 1888, providing - merely for com
pulsory coinage jof two million dollars
per month. I -
At the conclusion or Mr. Stones re
marks. Mr. Bland asked consent that
the debate on the Silver bill, which
would expire to-morrow night, be ex
tended until Friday afternoon at 5
o'clock, but Mr, Simpson, of Kansas, ob
jected on account of the failure of
friends of the bill to make any allotment
of time to representatives of the Peo
ple's party. I
Mr. Warner, ot; New York, Democrat,
spoke in opposition to the bill. He did
not believe in the right ot the Govern
ment to encourage or discourage the use
of either gold or silver by enforcing an
arbitrary ratio between the two metals.
He thought the duty of the Government
should end when it placed upon its sil
ver coin the stamp of the Government
certifying to the amount of pure metal
in the coin. '-If this was an actual free
coinage bill," said he, "it would receive
my support; but it is a proposition that
every bullion owner in this country shall
be allowed to bring his bullion to the
mints and the Government shall stamp
it -with the assertion that every
seventy cents worth of it is worth a dol
lar. Every man 'is then compelled to
accept silver at forty per cent, premium
in violation of all obligations contracted
for the payment of debts in honest
money. It is not a free coinage bill.
but a force currency bill.
Mr. Brawley, of South Carolina, op
posed the bill, contending that its pass
age would provej detrimental to the
business interests Of the country. The
ratio fixed in the measure was not the
ratio fixed by the markets of the world,
as Jefferson and Hamilton both said it
should be. The ratio should be fixed
by the ratio of the relative prices of the
two metals. So this question would
have been treated if it had not been for
the silver kings, who, encouraged by
the practice of subsidies and protec
tion in this conntry, wished to palm
off their production the government
at a price greater than its market
value. One interest after another had
been protected by this Governmental
the expense of the people until they
stood like Barons in their castles in me
diaeval Italy and Germany, upon every
precipitious hill and crag, whence they
dominated subject land, levying tribute
and extorting ransom. It would poison
the source of prosperity to depart from
that standard which had unvarying equi
valence with the money ot the world.
Mr. Hall, of Minnesota, in opposition
to the bill, said that it should have ema
nated from the Republican side of the
House. It was a plant of such delicate
fibre that only the rich soil of Republi
canism could be expected to bring it to
fruition. The bill was not for free coin
age. It was honeycombed and saturated
with McKinleyism.l
Mr. Lynch, of Wisconsin, opposed the
measure, declaring that its chief aim was
to make something out of nothing. Its
chief purpose, to make 70 cents Worth
100.
Mr. Stout, of Michigan, also raised
his voice in opposition and argued in
favor of an honest dollar, which would
.be worth 100 cents.
. . Messrs. Fitch, of New York. Lodge,
of MassachusettsJBeltzhoover, of Penn
sylvania, and Perkins, of Iowa, opposed
the bill.
-,;.rMr. McKeighan, of Nebraska, an "In
dependent, spoke ! m favor dt it, and
Mr. Bushnell, of Wisconsin, spoke in
favor of the proposed amendment pro
viding that hereafter the silver dollar
shall contain one Ounce Troy of pure
silver. ' "
The House then; took a recess until

CHICAGO MARKET REVIEW.
Flaotoa,tiona In . Frioea of Grain and
, .. Provlsiona.
Bt Telegraph to the Moraine Star. ,
Chicago. March 23. The lowest j
f rice yet for wheat was reached to-day.
n the beginning the bears had the upper
hand, but after a hard struggle were
overmastered only to once regain con
trol witn a vengeance, at. Louis snowed
remarkable heaviness with, the Mav
price off from 87 c last night to 86c. at
noon to-day, and reports that foreign
houses closed out 800,000 on May con
tracts in that market. This and raiding
Dy local bears when they saw oppor
tunity turned the market down. Late
cables were also disappointing to buyers:
rceportea export business 48 boat
loads in - all positions at the sea
board did not do more than help
check the late decline. ' The buying
capacity of the local wheat trade ap-
pearea to be exnausted. During the
last hour there was a general dumpine
of local holdings. One explanation was
recognition that there is 11,000.000
bushels of spring wheat in public and
private elevators, of which not a cargo
nas been sold lor export in over two
months. . .
Corn was remarkably firm in view of
the lc drop in wheat. .. It opened and
closed in the May deliyery at 38c. but
in tne meantime it had sold as high as
80c, which was the bid: . price at one
time.
Oats acquired considerable strength
early from corn, but lost it in the slump
of the last hour. The advance to 28c
irom nc near the opening, was in tne
face of heavy selling by Pratt, who nut
out fully 400.000 bushels around 27gc
in tne provision market a firmer feel
ing was noticeable, but owing to the ex
treme depression in wheat, there was
a reaction from first prices and the de
cline left the maiket 2$c lower for
pork, 2J5c for lard, and from 5 to
7c lower for ribs, than the close of
yesterday.
