CHICAGO , Jnn. 19. Wheat started strong ( odny , but turned weak nnd closed nt n ilecllno of He from Saturday's closing price. The foreign demand nnd weakness of cables were features , the decline In corn also hav ing srmc effect. Corn nnd oats were both very weak , closing ' ,45c lower. Pro visions started the wuno way , but turned strong nnd closed nt slight advances. Whatever strength wnunt had was dis played nt the opening and was only it mo mentary fractional rally , May opening nt from fOTtc to &l4c ! , compared with Satur day's cloning prlco of SOTic , most ot the trading being done nt the lower of the two quotations. The strength of the market nt the start was In jinrt due to the midden change of the weather from spring mild- IICKS to winter severity , with much wheat exposed to the full effect of tiio severe frost. It was partly caused nlo by the Indication of a small nggrcgntc for the world's shipments of wheat nnd flour for the weuk. Hocruohm'M report made the total : < 120,000 lin. , but n private cablegram from Liverpool suggested Hie lolal asI , - OGO.OOO 1m. , or about 2r > OOCOO bu. less than the weekly requirements of Europe. Cables worn ii disappointment. Liverpool showing only a ' 41 ! advance ut Ihc opening nnd clos ing nt fell decline from those figures. There wcro practically no responses to cable of fers from this .side nnd iraders who bought Saturday anticipating a demand unload d quickly. The late cables from Liverpool Increased t. io dissatisfaction nnd were In- lllii'iitlal In pressing prices down to'SO'dc before 11:30 : o'clock. The visible tuippty statement showed a decrease of 1,4I3,0. > 0 bu. , lieliif ; heavier Ihan generally looker for. A year ago the week's decrease was D , > 7COO bu. Chicago receipts * were twenty-live car loads ; on HIP similar day n year ago they were nlncty-clRht cars. Minneapolis nnd Duliitli received ,113 rars , against 3G1 on thu week before nnd 7 > 2 lasl year. Allanllc 1'orl shlpmcnls wcro small nl 182,000 bu. In wheat and flour The market recovered from SO'Jc to fW-Jc , nnd the Hitter price was current about 1 o'clock , but a sudden drive of the boars was made In the last ten mlu- ulcB , which reduced tiio llgurcs to SOV c nt the close. Corn had a decidedly active session. The markel showed some slro-nglh , but soon turned weak on heavy selling by the ele vator people. Country offerings were much Increased by the cold -wnilher. Thorn was ft slight rally before the session ended , but the closing was weak and the final figures were almost the lowest for the dnv. May opened n simile higher at 24 Ji(2l' { ( < ic , de clined to ZlVic and clofod at 2l'l'fi24' ' ' > ic. Oats opened steady , but n weak fooling soon developed owing to the cold weather , which caused a fear of a heavy movement. The weakness of wheat and corn was also felt. At the decline very good business was transacted. May opened n shade hlgliT at 18c , declined to ISUc and closed nt lS < 4ifilfic. Provisions fared well , notwithstanding the wraknesr of the grain markets , which made ItH Influence fell near Iho close of the ces- nlon. The run of Ciogs was large , but an nctlvo demand existed.

The stock markets were quiet but Kood today , the favorable factor beltiR cheap money. Consols were up ' , i. Ameilcans were Rood , nllhouRh the buying ot shares seems principally from New York. The nltunllon here Is peculiar. Money Is cheap , yet Ihe causes which make II cheap arc Ihe very points help- Ins to check market activity. The discount Is easy because bills are scarce , which nun In are scarce because New York holds back nn unknown quantity , which In Itself Is n dlsturb- Inn factor rather than otherwise. The Rank of England has yet to be repaid 2,000,000 before the position of the money market can be prop erly KatiRcd. It Is rumored freely today that the bank rate will RO down on Thursday. I do not think It likely , but uncertainty as to the monetary outlook Is unmistakably evident. Japan bought 300,000 of Rold today. Thu I'arls bourse wns dull on reports of the czar's Illness.

The market " 8 , a whole was In fairly satisfactory con dition and without material change In the matter ot values. The beef steers on sale were not r. very good kind and them were no full loads In the yards that could be called really good. Uho demand , however , was of liberal proportions and the buyers did not hesitate about paying steady prices , so that nn early clearance wns effected. Cows nnd heifers sold In nbout the same notch as on Saturday , the mancct being fairly active , nnd everything v.-ns sold out Fully one-half , or more , of the cattle here were feeders , and they sold like hot cakes , " ' "I at way up prices , though perhaps no higher than at the close of last week.

Sterling , general solicitor of tlio Klldiorn rnllroiul , has returned from \Yn8lilugton , well plcnsctl with tlio passage of the bill providing for tlio USD of the public latuls of the United States for the building of water reservoirs by railroads and other companies. Mr. Sterling has been at work on tlio iiipamiro for a long tlmo and now that II has safely passed through both houses of congress , been approved by the Interior department and signed by tlio prost- ilcut ; he thinks tlio Elkhorn and such other rallio.ids as may ilealre can now build reser voirs on public lands without fear that Komo settler will tnko advantage of the homestead law and nsauino possession of the reservoir and the surrounding laud. The bill was drawn by ' .Mr , Sterling , who says tlio credit of securing HH enactment be longs largely to Senator 1'cttlgrew of South Dakota , who Introduced It Into the senate and secured the favorable consideration of Secretary Francis , \vlthuut whoso rccom- mcmlatlon the bill would not have received the approval of the president. In the house the bill was pushed by Congressmen Dave Mercer of this city and Gamble of Squill Dakota. The provisions of this net , which goes Into effect Immediately , gives railroad com- panlea and other corporations the use of public lands upon which may be built reser voirs 1GO acres for each reservoir. The Klkhorn has during the past year con structed eighteen or twenty of these roser- voliu In South Dakota , Wyoming and Montana , In order that cattle , when driven through that country , may not die of thirst. Until the passage of this law the railroads could not be sure In the posserslon of these reservoirs when constructed on public lands ; Ihcro was nothing to prevent a settler from obtaining a claim to such public land under tlio provisions of the homcsteaJ law. Should the railroad company attempt to use or re move Its reservoir the homesteader would defend with a Winchester what he legally claimed as lite property. In the cattle ranges of South Dakota , Wyoming and Montana there uro vast stretches of land without water. Stockmen have been com pelled to drive their cattle 300 and 400 miles without water. Horace Q. Uurt , form erly general manager of the Klkhorn nnd now third vice president of the Northwestern system , conceived the Idea of damming up the draws nnd catching the surface waters of I'prlng nnd summer , holding It In the reservoirs until fall , when It could be of greatest utility to cattlemen. Accordingly the engineering department of the Klkhorn road set to work to build a score of such reservoirs. Then came the trouble of retain ing possession ot the roscrvalrs after they had been constructed and the subsequent origin of the bill , which has Just become u law. law.In In commenting on the passage of the bill and It" Importance to the northwest territory. Mr. Sterling vpstnnlnv * nit ) . "While In Washington 1 talked with a num ber of officials of the Interior department and with many senators. They regarded the measure as a valuable one , not only because of Its Importance to cattlemen , but for other reasons. They argued that If the surface- water ot these cattle ranges could be ttored up In the spring for use In the fall , If excess moisture could beef such utility for this purpose , It could be of use for general Irriga tion. Stockmen generally , I think , arc well pleased with the new law. Its provisions give them access to the reservoirs at all times. The law requires that the rcscrvoira shall remain unfenced nnd bo accessible to stockmen and their cattle , " NKW I'XIOX DHPOT AT CIODAH It APHIS 'iiN Prppnri" for a Ci'li-Iirntlou ii < CEDAR UAPID3 , la. , Jan. 18.
