CHICAGO, Mnrch 6. The prediction of a
cold wave, a higher spot tniirket lit Liv
erpool, llrmness In northwestern markets
and talk of export business wero supports
In u fairly notlvo wheat market today,
May closing TilJHc over yesterday. .May
corn closed ',4c and May on Is (40 u;. Pro
visions were dull, but closed a trlllo Im
proved. When tho day opened In the wheat pit
thoro was a bare prospect nothing of In
fluence, cither way and accordlnKly May
wheat opened unchanged from yesterday
at 65c. 80 dull was the situation that
tho nttcmpt of a discouraged long to dis
pose of IGO.OW bu. of wheat, which went
In tho course of nn hour throuKh a score
of small hands, sent the price of May to
S.Vic. At this point the signal service pre
diction of a cold wave and the Liverpool
advance In spot wheat came as a tonic,
which Imparted firmness and moderate nc
ttvlty. Hhorts. led by 8t. Louis Interests,
covered nnd May rallied to 6fic. On prollt
taklng which met the bulge KWiffiHc was
touched, but the market rebounded, receiv
ing further help from a report of good
export Inquiry at New York, the llrmiiosrt
of tho northwest and a pessimistic view
of crop conditions In some sections. May
milled to fUc nnd closed strong. M De
nver yesterday at frVfMW.fec. Atlantic port
clearances In wheal and Hour were equal
to 3I5,W0 bu. New York reported live loads
taken for export. Primary receipts were
4G3.O0O bu compared with DB.OOO bu. last
year. Minneapolis and Dulutb reported 607
cars, against KC cars last week and I1
cars n year ago. Local receipts were CO
cars, two of contract grade.
Tho corn market was strong and mod
erately active. Country offerings wero
very small nnd receipts light and appar
ently tho recent attempt to break the mar
ket It nil been abandoned, for the gain
shown In opening figures found few sellers
and shorts were disposed to cover. Lie
vator Interests were buyers nnd thcro
was a fnlr demand from the country, In
which reports of a heavy cnsh business
done yesterday were a factor. Hecelpts
hero were 711 cars. F!l cars under the esti
mate. 'May ranged from 3114c to 35o and
closed at the top. 14c over yesterday.
The Htrength of corn lent enough of Its
Influence to the neglected oats market to
Incline that very dull cereal toward firm
ness. The only sign of life In that humble
pit was a little Improvement In the ship
ping demand. Local receipts were Iftl cars.
1SS cars over the estimate. May ranged
from SIHc to Zl'je and closed lie over yes
terday at 2314c.
The provisions trade experienced the dull
est day In a very dull fortnight, but tho
declining tendency, duo to a weal: hog
market and a poor demand, was checked
bv tho strength of corn anil the close was
steady. May pork sold from $10.K to $10.6214

Condition rr Mled mill Movement
of Price .Much Confused,
NEW YORK, March 6.-Condltlons were
mixed nnd tho movement of prices was very
much confused on the Stock exchnngc to
day. Sentiment Is correspondingly con
flicting among the speculative contingent.
Tho situation may bo best described as one
of waiting on tho part of the believers In
higher prices. Those having faith In n de
cline took advantage of tho hesitation of the.
bulls nnd the entlro lack or outside Inter
est In tho stock market to mako vigorous
attacks at vulnerable spots In the market.
Tho results on tho whole were favorable to
the bears. They were very diligent In seek
ing out stocks which were unprotected by
supporting orders and In oftoring them down
below tho price level, where selling order.
wero known to bo placed In the stocks for
tho purpose of saving losses on any sudden
decline. Tho sudden fnll in prices of stocks
thus selected nnd equally sudden una vio
lent rallies gnve tho key to the character of
the selling. The Hurry In the rate for call
money In tho late afternoon to I per cent
was a favoring factor for the bears, but
the actual effect wns very small. Tho early
tendency to ndvance In the railroad list wns
checked by the maneuvers of the beurs nnd
tho more notnble ndvanecs were about
wiped out.
The railroad list yielded unwillingly nnd
only to a slight degree, In snlto of the
light demand, and a fnlr sprinkling of gains
wns retained nt tho close. Very earnest ef
forts wero made to weaken Sugnr, but tho
Utmost that could be achieved was n 3
polnt 'decline, offerings of the stock being
comparatively light. Third Avenue was
strong, rising nn extreme and imparting
sympathy to the other local traction stocks.
The most nolnble. examples of the bear tac
tics were furnished by the International Pa
per stocks, the common fnlllng 1H and
rallying 21 and the preferred falling 71i
and rallying 1; Pressed Steel Car. which
dropped 614 and rallied 5: American 'Hoop,
which fell 314 and rallied 114; Standard Hope
and Its bond Issues, which wero raided down
from 214 to 8 points, with rallies extending
from 1 to nearly I points, nnd People's Gas,
which fell 114 and rallied 2?;,. Practically
all the Iron nnd Mteel stocks were down
from 1 to 2 points and many recovered a
good portion of tho loss and there were
other less striking examples all through tho
list of specialties. In the railroad list St,
Paul, Burlington nnd Haltlmoro & Ohio
showed nn extreme declne of a iolnt or
over, but tho net changes In -tho railroads
arc small throughout, it Is evident that the
llnnl disposition of the tlnnnclal bill by con
gress Is awaited by the bull contingent, who
arc genernlly confident that the provisions
for additional tank circulation will be en
acted Into law nnd will result in n notnble
expansion of the currency.
The Inrgc buying of government bonds by
national banks nil over tho country and tho
expert estimates which are current of the
profit offered on circulation by the new pro
visions nro tho grounds of this conlldence.
Meantlmo the money market is working
constantly closer nnd tho favorable factors
.in tho outlodk nre ignored, In the fear that
tho available supply of money will not
bridge tho Interval until the expected roller.
Tho .bond market was dull nnd Irregular.
Total sales, par value, $1,333,000. United
States old 4s nnd Gs advanced 14 nnd tho
3s '4 in tho bid price.
The commercial Ativcrusera London
flnnnclnl cniblegram says: Tho quietness In
tho mnrkets hero wns still unrelieved todny,
but tho tone Improved. The budget is con
sidered satlsractory In the circumstances.
The industrials hud discounted tho taxes
and consols rose J on the news that there
would be no fresh Issue that will stick. Con
tinental bears bought back heavily. Ameri
cans were steauy ami nrm, Dut.qiilio Inac
tive. 'Paris advanced tlntos 114 to the record
price, 63H. on tho rise of 43s In the metal.
Anaconuns rose i. sympatnetlcnliy. Ao
gold went out or came In. Call money wns
In good demand nnd for bills there was
larger Inquiry.
Tho following are the quotations for the
leading stocks on the New York exchauga
todny:
cheauer. The chief Interest centered In
HI tlntos. which advanced sharply, owing
to large purchases on tho rise In the price
of copper. Delleers were Ilrm. nnd Inani
mate. Kaffirs wero strong on the Hrltlsh

C ATT I jE T hero was only a modernte run
of cattle at all tho market points this morn
ing. J nc weatner was clear and picnsam.
In strong contrast 10 the storm of yester
day and the market seemed to bo brighter
In sympathy with the weather. The general
feeling was better all nround.
Tho offerings of beef steers were not large,
while thcrf appeared to bo a good local
demand, Huyers wero all out early and the
market opened fairly nctlve nnd at prices
that were steady to strong on nil kinds, but
the closo wns wenker. Among tho offerings
wero some cattle good enough to bring $5.00.
Tho most of the cattle sold In good season.
Cows nnd heifers were iu active demand
and the mnrket was strong on nil desira
ble stuff. As a rule sellers wero able to un
load early lu tho morning and tho most of
tho butchers stock was sold and weighed
up lu good season. There wns not much
chango In the market for bulls, stags, etc.
Stockers and reeders wero not very uctlvc,
but that Is nothing new, ns the mnrket
for some days back has been in that con
dition. Still there was some demand and
values wero no lower. As a general thing
operntors do not expect much business In
the, feeder line this month. Most farmers
have their cattle already in the feed lots
and the beef mnrkct Is not such us to en
courage them to buy many more. Reprc.

$4.7214. Tho demand, however, nt that prlco
was liniltcii. us most or inn uuyers were
holdlnc: back, and It warf not long until
all the buyer, under the Influence of the
reported decline at other market points,
wero bidding 5e lower, Kellers wero deter
mined to resist tho drop, but they had to
coma in It unil In tho end tho hoes so u
largely nt $1.671ifH."0, fully 6c lower. When
peliers onco made up their minds that it
would be Impossible to maintain a steady
mnrkel lliev cut 1 00 to and the hogs soon
changed hnnds. Later arrivals did not lure
so well nnd ut the time of closing this re
nort there were still a number of loads
unsold for which buyers wero offering
$l.60.65. It will bo noted thnt they
took oft today the most of what thoy nut
on yesterdny, so that the hogs sold today
not fur from where thev sold on Saturday.
It will also be noted that the marktt today
was but a shade higher than on Tuesday of

At the suggestion of Secretory F. I). Jo
hum of the Kansas Pftte Rmrd of Agricul
ture, Prof. D. II. Otis nf Die Agricultural
cnlleco at Mnnhnttan presented a pn-r it
the twerit"-n!tith annual eietpr of the
b"nrii. entitled "DMrv Epoo'lin." nnd
white It was prepared and Intended enn-o'v
to ho pf valnn to the firmers nh'l dnlrvmen
of Kansas, contilns much Information
Lthnt others cnpiged nr Interested In th's
Indt's'ry fould do well to rad on1' to nrnut
bv The holpful counsel given should not
fall to he nf great good wherever the cow
l kpnwn and appreciated. He snld In part
as follows:
"W'n have In Kansas 684,182 row machined
that have for their purpose the conversion
of our feeds inln milk. These vary gretlv
In the(r efficiency; .im" eonume more fd
than the value nf the nroduet tbe turn nut.
j We found that over 14 pr rwil of the sruh
cows purchased by tiie Agricultural college
run us In debt for tholr feed, Many other
cows barely pay for Ihclr keep nnd com
paratively few nre yielding their owncra
largo profits. If we make tho comparison
fjom another point of view Wo nlght say
wo hAvo u large number of common, sonic -tlmfs
called scrub, cows, a considerable
number of high grades nnd a much smaller
number of pure bloods. Tho two compar
isons aro by nn means synonymous. We
hnvo somo excellent producer." among the
scrubs nnd wo have homo mighty scrubby
nnlmnls among tho pure bloods.
"Tho first essential, then, to dairy expan
sion Is to secure cows that hav.o the ability
to convert feed Into milk nt a profit. This
form of cxpnntloii mny mean a contraction
In tho herd. Had tho Agricultural coltogo
eliminated thla 14 per cent of unproflUblo
cows from Its number the herd would hao
nvcrnged 411 pounds of milk and seventeen
pounds of butter fat per cow more than It
did. Tho nverage Income per cow would
havo expanded 23 per cent nml tho receipts
less tho cost of feed expanded 19 per cent
had Iho herd been contracted by eliminating
this 14 per cent of unprofitable co-'tnn-cUncs.
"Truo dairy expansion Involves tbo grad
ing up of n. herd not only by selection, but
nleo by breeding. Thoro Is no question
nmong Intelligent stock breeders but that
animals that hnvo been bred and selected
for yearn, nnd oven centuries, nlong dairy
lines aro much better adapted to tho eco
nomical production of dairy products than
cown of no particular breeding. With all
tho' feed nnd enro that wo could give theui,
tho herd of common cows owned by tho
Knnsns Stnlo Agricultural college nvcniRcd
only 270 pounds of butter per hend per an
num. Herds of pure-blood nnd hjgli-grado
dairy nnlmnls in other Mtntes nro averaging
as high as 350 to 400 pounds of butter per
cow per annum. This shows what a well
constructed cow mnchlno will do. At present
It Is posslblo by securing well-bred males
nnd by selection to grade up a herd of com
mon cowb to n herd of excellent producers
In a comparatively short time.
"During tho last two yenrs tho Kntisas
experiment station bn been testing tcvnral
combinations of fcedd nnd wo hnvo found
that on pnsture, or with soiling crops, wo
can produco a pound of butter fat at from
6 to 1) cents per pound. On alfalfa and
Knfllr cornm&al wo produced butter fat at
11.9 cents per pound; with Knfllr corn
meal one-third, brnn one-third and
ground oata one-third, with what Kafllr
corn-stover tho cows would cat, wo produced
butter fat nt 10.8 cents per pound; with
Kafllr comment one-half and soy-bean meal
ono-4ialf, with nit the Ka'fflr corn stover tho
cown desired wo produced butter fat for
12.3 cents per pound. When wo wero obliged
to buy high-priced concontratcs, such ns oil
meal, or cottonseed meal, the cost of produc
ing a pound of fat increased to 15, 16 nnd 17
conts per pound. In figuring tho nhovu
costs tho feeds grown on tho farm wero
charged nt tho prlco tho farmer could ro
atizo for them on tho local market. It will
bo noticed that where tho nbovo rations
wero produced exclusively on tho farm but
ter fat was not only produced much cheaper,
but tho farmer would realize two profits on
hlH feeds, first on growing them and second
on feeding them to threo cows. In tho ra
tion of alfalfa and Kafllr cornmcal wo hnvt
two drouth-resisting plants that aro excel
lent ylcldcrs. On good soli alfalfa will
produce from four to six, and even seven,
tons of hay per ncre. On tho nverago alfalfa
hay contains 10.6 per cent dlgestlblo protein,
but wo hnvo found by digestion experiments
at tho Kansas Stato Agricultural collega
that good alfalfa huy contains 15 per cent
digestible protein, or 22 per cent more than
brun. Wo havo also found aftor eleven
years of experimenting that Knfllr corn on
upland has averaged us forty-six bushels
per aero per annum, while corn under the
samo conditions averaged thirty-four and
one-hnlf bushels per acre. Our hlghc3t
yield of 'Kafllr corn In nny ono year1 was
ninety-eight bushels per acre, whllo tho
highest yield of corn was seventy-four
bushels. In drier sections of the country
tho difference between tho two crop3 would
bo still greater. Whllo a bushel of Klfflr
corn Is not quite equal to a bushel of corn
for feeding purposes, nn ncro of Kafllr corn
la worth moro than an ncro of corn.
"Eor thoso unablo to grow alfalfa red
clover la undoubtedly tho 'iext best rough
ness nnd contains about two-thirds as much
dlgestlbto protein as alfalfa. This enn bo
fiuplementcd by soy beans, which conlnln
more digcstlblo protein than oil menl Itself.
During tho last season tho Knnsao exper
iment station has grown sixty acres of these
beans, which yielded fifteen end one-half
bushels per acre, and cost us for planting,
cultivating, harvesting and threshing 55
cents per bushel. This means that tho
equivalent of 937 pounds of oil menl con ho
grown per acre at tho ralo of $18,10 per
ton. Oil meat Is now selling In Mnnhnttnn
nt $28 per ton. Hero Is a Bavins of nearly
$10 per ton to tho farmer who raises his
own concentrated feed. In addition, tn this,
soy benns contain twlco ns much fat as oil
meal, In these days of florco competition
wo need to havo It our constant nlm to grow
nil the feeds wu need right on tho farm. It
can ho done; It in only n question ns to
whether wo will arrange our farm nnd plan
our worlr to bring aliout tho desired results."
