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. Armour belli ?
credited with heavy purchases , and a sllghl
mlvnnco resulted. At the close May nor' :
was about 2'.4e higher at JS.07 % . Mav lard
nliout 2 > , c higher at $4.10IM.12',4 and May
ribs fie higher at $ I.1T',4. '

NBW YORK , Jan , ! . Tno stock market today
was quite animated nnd tha volume of Imi-lness
considerably larger than for B couple of weckn
past. The movement of price * wmi Irregular ,
owiiiR to heavy realization of profits , widen
VHS nRaln partly offset by fresh buylnic for
long account. The Initial and t-nrly Irndliur we *
characterlted by n resumption of the activity
nnd buoyancy Hint had marked the close of the
plcvlous week. This condition was awl teil
by purchnslnR ordem for foreign account. The
dealltiR * were well distributed , nnd nn Improve
ment was Kcncrnlly noticed , with Fpecinllles , in
ecpeclal favor , Manhattan rlslns 14 per cent ,

The upward movement was soon stopiied by pales
for both accounts. Effective support w.ts evi
dent , however. In some Instance * , nnd buylliK
of the higher priced Inviiitment stock * on u
fairly Inrce scale Renerally ut substantial mi-
vnnces was n feature of dealliiK * . Uenlere

to take profits , the larRer priifefslonal bean ,
utilized the- new * of several banks falllnR In l-

the laler trmllng the eelllnc pressure Increased
and the trader * teemed to meet little or no
opposition In their raiding tactics. T.ic clflaliiR
was weak at shaip fiactlonal net loiues In mokt
of the active stocks.
The bond market maintained decided strenfith
thiouRhout nnd wns not Inlluenced by the wenk-
ncta of the stock matket. The denlliiRS were
unusually law , iiKRroRallnR J2.H9.COO , and In-

firm on purchaseu of (20,000.
The Evening Pott's Ixmilon financial cnblc-
Rram says ! 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
llerlln market wns steady.

CATTLK So far as numbers wore con
cerned the- receipts of cattle today were
about the mime us a week wso. 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. The
demand continues very active and In excess
° r "i" . receipts , a condition tnut Is re-
SDonsiblo for the high prices at which that
kmd of cattle are selling. Ileprcsentntlve

WATER FOR ARID DISTRICTS
Law to Prevent Homestcndors from Taking
Possession of Railroad Improvements ,
CONSTRUCTION OF STORAGE RESERVOIRS
Solicitor S < < > r1hiK of ( lie Opinion ( lint
( lii > Wnlor < liirtl < > u In ( tit * \ordi-
\\rnt UIIN llri-ii Solvcil lli'ltc-
IllN ( o Stockmen ,
William U. 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 , "

JACKSON , Wyo. , Jan. IS. The Jackson
Hole Gun club of this place has made a
careful study of the fish nnd game situation
In Wyoming and adopted resolutions requestIng -
Ing the Fourth legislature of the state to
make n number of changes In the game law-3
calculated to aid In the preservation of the
wild game and fish. Tlio club recommends
a system of rewards to 'Informers against
violators ot the game laws , the Informer to
receive one-half of the fines and the school
fund the remainder. The penalty for tnkiiiR
or killing game or fish In excess of the
number allowed by law Is recommended to
bo a flue or not less than $10 nor moro than
$50 , to which may bo added a sentence of
not moro than thirty days' Imprisonment.
It Is recommended that the open season ba
from August 15 to December 1 of each year.
It Is recommended that gun licenses bo re
quired , residents of th state to pay $1 for
such license and nonresidents $25. Gii'ldoa '
ara to bo charged a license fee of $5 If they
are residents of the state and $50 If they
are nonresidents. Game wardens are to bo
appointed by the county commissioners anil
paid $3 a day for their services , the com
pensation to bo paid out of the receipts for
gun nnd guide licenses. If the laws recom
mended are enacted It Is the belief of sports
