tle moro than nn hour from the opening
this price of Mny wheat had declined to

long lines did not como out as expected nnd
there was a scramble to gel It hack , which
pent ptlccs up nearly He. The report which
came In about that time that forty-four
boat'.cnils had been purchased at the Fea-
board for export was nlso Instrumental In
steadying pi Ices. The visible supply of

mnrket was a little firmer during the last
hour , nlded by cash snlcs , May selling at
from CI < KC to V2\c and finally closing steady
at C2'/tc.
Corn was again very dull and heavy , In-
tliieni'pil by the weakness of wheat ; also
by the cablcp. May opened unchanged at
23)40 and declined to 29',4c , closing easy at
that llgure. I "air support uns given on the
break.
Oats showed weakness with wheat and
corn , though trading wns light and fluctua
tions very narrow. May opened J4c- lower
atO'.Jc ' nnd closed nt that llgure.
Provisions showed the usual sympathy
with the hog market and us live stock
prices were lower provisions at the opening
, were correspondingly weak. But littlp fur
ther rctfe'S'ilon was noted , however , prices
holding up well on the moderate receipts at
western points. May pork closed 7Hc lower

There In continued npprehenslon nmoiiK bnnk-
CIB oxer the general trade outlook from now
Up to April I. The stock market up to todny
wnH moderately ncflve , nnd the fluctuations re-
cotded simply reflected manipulation. Northern
I'nclllc common nnd preferred stocks nt the outset -
set displaced wciikntf , * . the Inst mentioned
> leldlng n point. Toward the clo c moat of the
IOSICB were recovered. The t > pcu'ntlon wns nl-
most entirely In the Industrlnl Fhnics , with
Amerlcnn Tolmcco figuring for over half of the
entire dealings. The transactions In It aggro-
gnted nenrly 600,000 uhnres , A disposition townrd
n lower range of prices wns evident In the cnrly
trading , but the profeslennl dealers teen took
hold of the Industrials , ns noted , nnd substantial
gains occurred In Sugar. Tobacco , General Klec-
trlo nnd Rubber. KcnlfzlliK sales and n bear
raid subsequently caused the lees of most of
the cnrly Improvement. Lonther preferred be
came conFplcuous mound midday , rising 2 per
cent. Ixielcde Gas shares were nlso strong , al
though the ndvnnces were not rctnlned. The
Industrials wenkened In the nfterno n uncra-
llons , but steadied townrd the close , on covering-
of shorts chlelly. The closing wnn quiet , with
sliRM losses general. The publication of the re-
orgnnlznllon plnn of the Northern rncltlo rail-
load was followed by decided animation nnd
strength In the bonds. The seconds rose 2 per
cent , collateral trust sixes 214 per cent , consols
llvea nnd consuls trust receipts 4 per cent , nnd
consols dividend scrip , extended , S per cent. In

prices. At the sumo time salesmen who
were not fortunntc In ImvlnR the kind of

BAL-TIMOHB , March 1C. It Is stated upon
good authority that Hie reorganization ot thd
Ualtlmoro & Ohio railroad company , can bo
effected without any assessment upon ths
common stock , and that n plan with this
result In view Is under consideration , and
will be submitted within n few days , to one
or both of HID committee * * having the matter
In charge. The plan is nn elaborate one. Its
main feature being n reduction In the operat
ing expenses nnd the ultimate flo.itltig ot
new securities to provide for ttie fioallnc
debt , and to take up such receiver's certifi
cates as must be Issued bcforo my reor
ganization is effected. The reduction In
expenses If such n plan Is adopted will bo
brought nbout by tha consolidation ot all the
present auxiliary systems In one body , hav
ing headquarters In Daltlmorc , nnd having
but ono scries of departmental heads. This
would Involve the abolition of the present
executive departments of the Daltlmore &
Ohio Southwestern nnd the Plttsbtirg &
Western. A general dealing down ol
rentals wherever practicable would also
bo effected , and these economics , to
gether with the anticipated Increase
In the earning capacity ot the several
systems to bo brought about by Increased
facilities for handling tralllo would , It la
thought , put the company In a position to
float junior securities In sufficient volume-
cancel the floating debt ami provide for the
receiver's certificates. The promoters of
the rcheme realize that there Is little or no
chance to do anything ot the kind at his
time , but they assert that there Is sure
to be so great an Increase In ( tie gross
earnings ot the system from this time for
ward that by the time Hie details of the plan ,
nre perfected and ready for publication publlo
confidence , both here and In Europe will have
been restored to nn extent \\hlch will admit
of the flouting ot the proposed junior BO-
curltlea * In this connection It Is also rtatcd
that the Baltimore committee recently or
ganized to look after the Interests of local
Mcurlty holders , \\lll make n determlnoJ ctV
fort to have the books of the compcity over
hauled by nn export \\lth a view of learning
the exact condition of the property and ot
ascertaining what has become ot the col
lateral which wan thought to have been la
the company's strong box up to within A
week of the final collapse.

CIIAMDEnLAIN , S. D. , March 1C. ( Spe
cial. ) The county recently completed un arte
sian well on the farm of Martin Knudsen in
Torrey Lake township. In accordance with
Instructions from the Doard of County Com
missioners , County Judge Drury called upon
Knudsen for the purpose of procuring a deed
to the site of the well. It has been cuo-
tomary where the county located n county
artesian welt on land belonging to private
parties , for the parties to deed the site to
the county. But this Kmulron refuses to do ,
claiming that the law under which the well
was bunk was declared Invalid by Judge
Haney , now of the state supreme court , and
maintaining that he does not consider him
self obliged to deed the silo to the county.
It haa not yet been decided what action the
county will take In the matter. In the mean
time KnuiUon , who professes to bo greatly
elated over what he terms the liberality of th *
county in sinking the well for him , an
nounces that he proposes to irrigate his farm
the coming season with water from the
well.
