CLOSES A CENT AND A QUARTER LOWER Corn mill OnlN Slum- Their SlriMiulli III lluI'lilill anil Alnlco SIlKlit ( in 1'rot Inloni Heavy CHICAGO , April 2S. An ncllve , Irregular nnd feverish wheat mnrket today en me to ft close after nn r-nrly rlsu of Ic per bu. had been converted Into a net decline of Hie. Corn nnd oats , on the contraiy , wore strongest nt the close. Provisions were h < ? avy nt moderately lower prices. The only apparent rcufton for the collapse was nn at tempt to realize on wheat bought on the advance. Ill wheat a firm opening wan caused by the early Liverpool cables , which were much stronger than was anticipated In view of yesterday's decline here. July , which closed the diiy before nt from 71 c to 72Hc , opened nt from 7l-i < : to 72c nnd after nome scalpers had disposed of whnt long wheat they had and In the parting with It had depressed thu price of July to 71 lie It began to rise again anil ranched 72'if/72Sc ' : before 10 o'clock. From the action of the market It was uvldont that speculators' as a rule favored the buying side , Influenced by tin ; Hhnrp break of the past two days , ana the tendency of the market during the morning was to advance on the slightest encourage ment. Immediately after the noon hour the previous upward tendency of the market and conlldont buying by the bulln gave place to the exact opposite. So sudden was the change that July , which In the mean time had t'old nr. high as 72l4e nnd worked bark again to 72c and was worth the latter llxurc nt 12:0.1 : o'clock , could not be sold at 71at 1210 n. m. In about llftten minutes in-re It hud tumbled to ( a-Mit ! i"M' . u drop of "Mr per bu. In twenty-live tmmitr-H. The rr--.o-iB for HII-II i pnildcn collapse must be n rllied cntlielv to Hpeeulntlve conditions In 'he ' pit. An attempt to sell out IXHJW bu. of uhrut hiMtghl during the forenoon was pi rliaps the dlreft startef ot the selling. 'II n H"lllng was iTRiirdeil with all the more K < M'lelon ' , as It rommenred n soon as I.MiiiMiept'a visible supply statement was in.ulo known , as that was Imlllsh. It gave tliiworld's ilci-rcaKe at Z.OTt.flOO bu. A le- fnn ! < > of about half ns > much was nil that bin ! lioen expected. The oloMni ; cables were Viiy dlSiippnlnlliiB. Liverpool showed a de cline1 for thi- day of from a4d to Hil per n-iit.il. . Snmr reaction took plaee I cforo the close , but the mniket was nervous and v > ink to the Miilj 10\ia \ WOK the final quota tion for July. Turn was steaily and very dull , with but ll'tle changing fiom May to July going tin. Mur" \vnKiiKlcnclylim InlliiL'iieo r.nd the lire ik In wheat had no effect. The visible laipply Increased S..flOI.iOO ( bu. July opened a Hhmli- higher atiVVe , sold n shade below that and advanced to Ki\yijSic \ , where It clcsi d.

July opened Ke higher at ISe , sold at 17TAc. and advanced to ISUe. That was the closing price. It wna merely a day of changes In pro visions , but prices held fairly steady , not withstanding the dullness. Toward the end the mniki't was offset by wheat and prices l'i euverod from : i light opening decline.

STOCKS AXIJ Sinillle Deellne Dilio .Mlllllliiilu- tlon ! > ' 'be lleiu-N. NKW YOHK , April 2S , The market for stocks was lucking In animation today and sank at times Into a condition of unquullltcd dullness , nlthouKh evidences of HrmnesH und strength weru not laulilnic and the small net decline was due ruther to the sympathetic effect of the manipulation of thu hi-nix In the special stocks than tu unythlns In thu general blluntloii. JVr- h-tps the dullne * wns In some small part due tu the Inauguration ut the gold export mo\e- ment today , llrnt Keneially admitted to be due to noimul causes. Interen In th gold movement was eonllned In n very large pnit M those ha > - - Ing to di wltlu the market for exchange , as It IH now generally understood that the gold movement has been held back for peveral days at least by agreement of the exihnnge hoiiFes , which agreement It wiib found ImpusslblH to maintain when tinciiKagenient WIIH made on Katurdny for 11,000,000 for i-hlpmi-nt for London on an unbr fiom that center. There was little apprehension nroiiFc-d In Wall stieet by the news that fllW J In gold coin had been with drawn fiom thu fubticntury for ex | > ort to Kin-ope. For one thing , It la felt that the pies- > nt period of uvcerslvii Imports of mcrchundltu , nillcli Is now throwliig tha fxchuiiue bltimtlon iigulnst us. will necejsuilly IK- limited by the n.ii'tmcnt Into law of thu new rustomd lailn . Tln < letuin of thu gold that may go nut now Is , therefore , conlUltntly expected with Iho normal merrhandUu export mm i mom later , i-'urtheliuoiv. It In Ix'lleved that besbles the buxr irrasury gold reserve n portion ot the large goU tesei'vu of Ni-w Y < ik | hnnktt would btf forth * Diuliij , ' for export purpon-H ratlu-r than that they should liuve lhi-lr stock of legal tendeis Icpl.'lcd. The extent of tin * demand here grow ing out ut the demand of Jupnu and Aubtilu. on LoiulnM U tomewlint problematical. Uut na np- .irt-hi-iiblon U manlfebled In Wiill btrcet that the -old expoits will be bullk-lt-nt tu deplete the Inqu iry it-KifVu tu n point that would gl\e triouml 'or apprehension rrgurdlni ; the currency. The narket for Amerlcnnu In Ixmdon mm euk this nornlng In the face of nn advancing tendency For conpulu , nnd the New York market took Its ipenlng lone frun I indon , but after the opt ri ng loss tin.gemial muiket advanced to u point i fraction higher than Monday's clote , The iiars then sought miccctEfully to * tem the ud- I'ance by nttueks on Individual stocks.

To the Editor of The Roe : During my absence from the city an irtlclo appeared in The BCD , making certain statements which I would like to deny. It is stated as a pretext for certaliu mem- ) crs of the Woodmen of the World to wlth- Iraw and form a new order that the cost of protection in our order la Increased because if our southern membership. A careful analysis of our experience during the year ISflfi shows the following results : States of Alabama , Arkansas , Arizona , Florida , Georgia , Kentucky , Ixiulnlana , Mexico , Mlsslralppl , New Mexico , North Caro- inn , South Carolina , Tennessee , Texas , and Virginia : .Membcrohlp , 26,898 ; deaths , IflO ; average deaths to each 1,000 members , i.fll. States of Connecticut , Indiana , Iowa , { nnsas , Oklahoma and Indian Territory , Maryland , Michigan , Minnesota , Missouri , Nebraska , New York , Ohio , Ontario , Pennsyl vania , West Virginia and Wlncnnsln : Mem- icrahlp , 23,213 ; deaths , 12G ; average death * o each 1,000 members , ( J.-I2. It will bo no- Iced that the average mortality In the south vas only D2-100ths of a man per 1,000 members In excess of the mortality north , t will bo noticed that I Included the tatra of West VlrglnlJ , Maryland and Missouri In the ( states north , which vould slightly IncreaHO the northern and re- Inco the southern average If transferred. 1 n clinic Oklahoma and Indian- Territory In northern ( states , which would moro than icntrallze the difference. So the statement s undoubtedly absolutely correct , and tcachca an object let-Bon to thopo who hnvo been , indnly prejudiced In Hie matter. The lofsca n the south are only one-half a man greater o the 1,000 members than In the north , In volving less than one-fourth of ono JIH- essment , or about 12 cents during the year , r one cent per month to each member on ach $1,000 benefit assured. 2. Life tenure of office of the commander , Our le.ntt provide that the founder of the rdcr shall servo until resignation op re- noval by a three-fourths vote of the cxocu- Ive council , cx-ofllcfo board of directors , the aw does not apply to ( succeeding command' TS ; a compliment lo the man who has nimbly and modestly planned thu work and tccompllshed reuilts never bcfoio attained , mlldlng up an order now numbering nearly 00.000 members In less than six ycara. lolillng hlx nfllco Huhject to removal at any Imo , ho IH the least favored of all the crvants of the order. 3. H IH futrerted that ho l clothed with xtraordlnnry power * . This Is a ridiculous sflcrtlort. llu was given the power to died- illne camps for disloyalty ami delltiiuency | tone no extent of arresting or revoking char- era , a power conferred by every reliable fru- ernal society upon ItH president. U'o have icretoforo been lacking In 111 In requisite for uccessful management.

Our order la now Increasing at the rate of over 4iOO ( now members per month ; nb.nit 3,200 In lie ! Omaha Jurisdiction. Over 12,000 per day ( In cluding Sunday ) Is bolus collected and paid to the beneflclnrli-a of our doeeuu'd tncmbciH.

A recent olllclal examination by the state Insurance department proved oilf alfuirs to bo honestly , Judiciously and care fully managed , atul tlie order deserves anil demands Ilio confidence of Nebraska people.
