TTTTS nTtfATTA DAILY HUE : . JVERRTT ATtY 18. Small Visible Supply Decrease Oanscd Wheat to Slump , THERE WAS A FAIR SPECULATIVE. TRADE Dctminil for Kniti-rn Hlilimu-iil nf Corn \Vn.s Ili-lli-r Tlinii It llnil Ilvpti for Sonic Timr. IT.--The disappointingly . Kcb. - - nmnll ilecr < vi p In tlic world's vlolble supply caiiscil a slump In xvlivnt today , causing It to ctofce nt n loss of fiom Ho to > , ic from Saturday' * ) llgurps , nflcr nn early rise of ytc. Corn and outs worn but slightly nf- ferlfid nnd clofcd unchanged , and proVisions - Visions rnndc plight recessions. Thc'ro was n very fair speculative trnde In wheat , the market chancing with considerable rapidity within from Kto lUc range. The feeling developed quite nervous nnd prices for nwhllc were Irregular , but the tone wns on the whole ca y nnd the cloa- showed Uc decline. The first trend of the market wns upward , the feeling being strengthened by the bolter cables nnd the cold weather , which wan thought to be Injurious to grow ing plnntn. There were apparently a good many buying orders on the market , nnd In fllllug them the price was advanced from 65 4c to CC'Jc , which wns ueaily 'Jie better than the close Sulwdny. Hut the reports from the visible supply polntn noon began to show that there would not be pucli a decrease n bud been expocted. Now York reported ti Ifcss of only n little over 400,000 bu. , where 750,000 bu. hnd been e.\pt-etcd , and nt one tlmo It looked n tlioimli there might pos sibly be nn Increase. Tliln started genernl selling by the enrly buyers In the way of liquidation , nnd nlsn ? clllnK for the nliort nccouut , nnd It did not tnke long for the prlco to BU elf over le. Hut Inter , when it wat known thut there ; would be n slight 'clrcrcnpc ' instead of an Increase , us oeemed probable at one time , the market recovered up to G5fer. ! The mailfct ruled dull and easy during the last hour. Jluy sold off to WiMiC. reacted to 'M&C , nnd closed at that price. Corn was very Mlghtl.v affected by the wheat market. The demand for eastern Editpmcnt WUH better thuu It lias been for some time , nnd with the anticipated reduc- tloiiK In farmers' deliveries , due to poor roads , were the main reasons for the com parative Rteadlnesvi of the prices. May corn at the opening sold unchanged at 30'c ' { , nnd 3U' , ' f. declined reluctantly to 30e nnd closed with sellers at SO'.ie. Oats wcro quiet and only a limited busi ness wus done , prices following wheat Hue- tuntlons narrowly , liny opened > { , c higher nt 21Uc , cold down to from 21c to ilUc , and closed atUJtC bid. 1'ruvlBloriH were rather heavy and dull during n considerable portion of the' day. The unexpectedly large run of hogs chopped a good piece off ptlceH early , but good support later caused .a rally , nnd prices re- irnlnod nearly all the loss. At the close May pork was ttc lower and Slay lard nnd rlb.t unchnnged. Estimates for Tuesday : Wheat , 200 cnrs ; corn. 500 cnrs ; outs , 315 cars ; hogs , 2COw ) henfl.

Speculation em the Stock exchange Ifeday wn mainly connned to the homo account , owing to the fact that the London slock market was FO nijrrow ns to ' afford little opportunity for nrbltr'aRc opera tions hpro.

The American Board of Missions of the Congregational church made public this morning a special report on Japan and Japancsa missions. The missionaries ol the board , It Is raid , unlike some others , liavo never been pastors of churches , nor have they to any great extent acted aa such , oven temporarily. Many chapels where no church organization exists are conducted by some s-lt-3upportlng native church or else uy such a church and mission co-operating. Chapels , however , have been conducted as purely missionary enterprises. Ono unique feature of the work has been . ' \\c \ \ theater meetings , which were much In 'avor when thlng foreign were popular ; but the big preach , as It was called , has for the nest part fallen Into dleure. Whatever of success the mission has had has been due In 13 small degree to the women in it. They lave done a great deal of work for the edu cation of girls ; have trained most efficient women to work among women ; but there has teen added a regular training school for bible women , where candidates study half the year , and go out to service the other montha The women have exerted great Influence In Tapanese families. The mission has worked energetically on educational lines. The Jap anese churches are not able 'to evangelize the rreat middle and lower classes with anything Ike the expedition that they themselves de- Ire , tl Is estimated that 37,000,000 of the population of 42,000,000 are still worshipers of dole.

To move hla entire party to either ot those points would reoulro not less than eight wecka and after an exhausting struggle to gain tlic native settlements nt either delta , principally that of the lisna , Dr. Nanrcn would doubtlo s liesl- : ate to exchange the safety of his men among- the hospitable Inhabitants of the coast for- the trying Journey southward until warmer weather and the opening of navigation on tho- Lena. Even should It bo demonstrated that : ho explorers nru not now in that vicinity It , s not at all probable that they will be heard 'rom before the cloo of the season In that , very region. "I think It more likely that should Dr. Vanwjn have reached the pole ho would then : endeavor to retrace his course by a known route rather than venture further beyond the real goal of his ambition.
