CHICAGO QRAIA AND PROVISIONS
Feat area ( tko'Tradlna- and Closing
Frleea oa Board of Trade.
CHICAGO, April 3. Widespread rain and
aiio.v acted like maglo today In sending
down the price of wheat. Crop prospects
were believed to have been vastly Im
proved by I ho timely moisture on fields
millions of acres In extent. Weakness pre
vailed at the close, which was VWIo under
Saturday's latest figures, the finish on
corrr varied from oo net gain to a
shade loss, oata were l-lik to WU'Ao up,
and provisions 12fc(i7o down, v
The decline in wheat stimulated much
covering by shorts, the handsome profits
Immediately In sight proving Irresistible,
with the election holiday tomorrow mak
ing delay a double risk. The riae was a
sharp rally, but fresh selling on the part
of several large speculators overturned the
market worse than before. A contributing
reason for the general weakness appeared
In a decline at Liverpool, notwithstanding
material decrease of the total slocks at
that port. The market In the end showed
only slight reaction from the bottom fig
urea reached. The range for May extended
lroni 84V't4o to ku?io, with the close o
off. at 84o.
lu oom the wheat slump offset the ef
fect of wet weather and light receipts.
May fluctuated between 480 and . 47W'd
47ic, cloeing a shade down at 46-c. Cash
f rades were firm on account of small of
erings. No. 2 yellow finished at 46V46c.
Oats were sustained by an Idea that a
corner In the cereal at Winnipeg had not
been disrupted. High and low limits for
May turned out to be 30c and 2Vc, with
final sales 27Vil"c. a net gain of a shade.
Lowest records of the seaaon were
touched by all futures actively the subje-et
of trade in provisions. The outcome left
pork lf'rrt!2o diminished In cost, laid was
off 2Vtf.'7Vo and ribs down 12'u;c.

Coffee Market.
NEW YORK, April 3. -COFFEE Futures
opened steady at unchanged prices to a
decline of 4 points and ruled weak during
the day, although trading was at no time
active. Offerings were heaviest in the
late session and the market closed weak
at a net decline of Uu23 points. Part of
the selling was attributed to liquidation
by recent buyers, who are supposed to
have anticipated bull support following- the
valorisation sale, whereaa the leading bulls
seemed to be giving the market no assist
ance during today s trading.
The decline was also accompanied by
rumors that the valorization Tories had not
been so succesNful as they appeared on the
surface and there seemed to be an appre
hension that the distribution of the gov
ernment coffee will be attended by a fur
ther falling off In the demand for .oilier
supplies. Sales, 18 X bags. April, I May,

CATTLE Receipts of cattle this morning
numbered only lo6 cars, which waa the
smallest Monday's run since January 1. In
spits of the fact that advices from other
selling points were not encouraging, ths
market here was In a healthy condition and
entirely satisfactory to ths selling Inter
ests. Buyers of beef steers wers out In the
yards early In ths morning and with so few
on sale It did not take them very long to
clean up everything In sight. As a result
the market was fully steady with laat
week and If anything a little strong on
the more desirable kinds of handy weights.
Cows and heifers were in good demand
and being in light supply everything In
eight was picked up at an early hour In
the morning at good steady to strong
prices.
The market on feeders was alow and
weak to as much as '10c tower or aa much
aa 15tQ25o lower than a week ago. The
country has apparently gotten tired of
paying extravagantly high prices for feed
ing cattle In the faoe of a not overly good
beef market. As a result of poor country
demand prices on stockers and feeders
have had A lower tendency for some days
back. '

HOUS Prices for hogs this morning were
Influenced largely by conditions that were
general rather than local, bupplles at this
point were light enough to warrant
stiength and activity, but outside advices
were bearish and any bullish phases of lo
cal scope were Ignored by traders on ths
buying side of the market. As compared
with, Saturday s sales, bulk of offerings
moved on si dime lower basis.
Orders In the hands of shippers were
limited and speculative demand waa also
vyery quiet from the opening. Movement
was rather dull and It was well along to
ward midday before a complete clearance
had been made. Some scattered business,
mostly confined to bacon weights, was
transacted early at 6ft luc declines, but lar
ger droves showed the full reduction.
Butcher weight animate sold st or near
66.25, this price buying offerings similar
to those that sold at 38.36 Saturday. Bacon
grades commanded usual premiums over
the ordinary run of stock, beat lights top
ping at 36.45. Heavies moved at 38 30 and
less.

RHF.kP Total offering In the sheep
barn this morning were of moderate pro
portions, consisting almost wholly of latnhs.
Various clashes of sheep were too small to
afford anything like a hi tad test of values
and this branch of the trade remained
uuotably steady. Among the different sales
made early was one of shorn ewes at
34 37.
Demand for lambs waa decidedly dull
from the start, and early hours panned
without any business of consequence be
ing done. There waa a wide variety to
receipts, however, and It was evident that
most of the packers needed fresh material
for killing gangs, 'inquiry entered on
choice Mexican lambs, of course, but prac
tically everything on sale, high dressers
Included, had to sell at. flgurea a little
lower than those noted at last week's
close.

EXPERTS TAKE OYER ORCHARD
Professors from State Schools to Show
Local Horticulturist.
SAY THEY CAN ASSURE CHOI'S
Plan to Have tiood Yield 4f
Apples on Keellne IMace, Re
grardleaa of Weather
Conditions,
Orchard cultivation In accordance with
the most approved western methods Is to
be attempted here this season. Ths ex
periment of scientific cultivation Is to b
msde for the purpose of determining
whether the same methods so successful
In the Pacific coast states will not produce
equally satisfactory results In Iowa.
The experiment la to be made on ths
orchard of W. 8. Keellne, two miles east
of Council Bluffs.
Mr. Keeline Is president of the National
Horticultural congress, Is a natural lover
of the orchard und la a horticultural
sclentls who has progressed considerably
beyond the kindergarten period, but he Is
going to relinquish all control of his flna
orchard, consigning it wholly to the care
of an expert horticulturist. For this pur
pose he has leased It to 8. K. Whits of
the horticultural department of the State v
Agricultural college at Ames, who will
scientifically cultivate It this year, taking;
one-half the fruit as his pay. For the laat
two years Prof. White hns been conducting
horticultural short courses throughout the
state, working with Profs. Greene and
Bliss. He is thoroughly familiar with all
of the approved methods of orchard cul
tivation In the big apple states and has
studied to the point of mastery all of the
conditions that make the environment of
the apple tree In Iowa.
Scientific Work Promised.
Prof. White has been at Work for a
week or more with skilled assistants plow
ing up the ground, trimming the trees and
doing al) other work required at this ses
son. The orchard will be cultivated with
greater care than any field of Corn has
ever received In the state. The nature and
requirements of each tree hav been
studied and nothing that can be done to
encourage the tree to do Its test will be
omitted. v
Full provision has been made for frosty
weather In blooming time. Flrepots have
been purchased and 3.000 gallons of fuel oil
contracted for. Spraying machinery and
Insecticide compounds that will do ths
business are In storage ready for use at
the proper time. Prof. White Is Just ns
confident that he will have a full crop
of apples this year regardless of weather
conditions, as he Is that the sun will shine
warmly and encouragingly In May and
June. He Is confident also that the quality
of the fruit he will produce will bo superior
to the Hood River product. His confidence
Is so great that he has figured a net re
turn of about 32.000 for his summer's work,
after deducting the tost of machinery and
modern orchard appliances. Of more Im
portance than all else he figures that the
lesson he will be able to teach Iowa
orchardlsts will be worth many hundred
thousand dollars.
Th horticultural department of th Iowa
college has leased the Royer orchard for
a term of six years, beginning last year,
and Prof. Greene is here directing the sec
ond season's experimental work 'that Is
being conducted there. Prof. 8. A. Beach,
dean of th college, and Profs. Greene and
Bliss are also co-operating wlt"h Prof.
White. The orchards lie close together and
interchange of assistance Is easy.
Two years ago Mr. Keeline marketed
t8,000 worth of apples from his orchard.
Last year he did not hav an apple. He
has aversged about one good crop In ten
years. Prof. White says he would be
ashamed to hav one failure In a dosen
years.
