Market Weakens and Be&ra Push Pricei
Down.
GRAINS STRIKE LOW LEVEL WITH A BUMP
Wirm Weather and Prospect of Cm
reals la Plenty Are the Cinti
f the Slump Provision
Alio Weaken.
CTT7CAOO, Feb. 24 Grain prices mum
bled at the opening of the Board of Trade
today. Then the bears pave them a vig
orous puah and everything went down bill
and slruck low level with a pretty hard
bump. The warm weather and prospects
of grains In plenty were the cauae or the
slump. May wheat closed with a net loss
of lc. May com lc and May oata lc.
Provisions lost 2 to 17c.
Everything In wheat waa bearish from
the very start. Cables were lower, re
ceipts were Improved and the weather gave
promise of sunshine for some time to
come. Crops were reported in excellent
conditions and the farmer began to sell
in a hurry. Estimates of grain receipts
for tomorrow were treble what they were
today. On passage stuff Increased 248,000
bushels, and world's shipments were 6.881,
OHO bushels, compared with 6,111.01)0 bushels
lust week and only 6.936,000 bushels a year
ago. As a result the early scenes on
'change were mostly excited scrambles to
unload. liquidation waa the leading fea
ture. Local shorts' sales were also con
siderable. The foreign demand was still
very light and the demand from stock
feeders wss becoming much lighter, be
cause of the good weather. May opened
fr0 to W&fac lower at 7777c, dropped
with alacrity to 76c and hqvered for
some time around that figure. Bulls had
practically nothing with which to sup
port the market. Covering from time to
time on the breaks steadied things for
awhile, and when a decrease In the visible
supply of 1,020,000 bushels was posted the
market strengthened a bit. Just before
the close, however, the general feeling
that wheat was too plentiful swept over
the floor and with hardly a struggle May
dropped another cent to WAc May closed
, very weak, lc lower, at i675c. Lo
cal receipts were 11 cars, one of contract
grade; Minneapolis (three days) and Du
luth reported 936 cars, making a total for
the three points of 947 cars, aaglnst 666
last Monday and 626 last year. Primary
receipts for two and three days were
1.056,a0 bushels, compared to 633,000 bushels
last Monday and 764,000 bushels last year.
Seaboard clearances In wheat and flour
equaled 229,000 bushels. The seaboard re
ported 20 loads taken for export.
Corn again had to contend against the
same depressing Influences that neve been
unnerving the bulls and adding fresh vigor
to bears for a week or more. Those con
sisted mostly of Increased offerings of
corn from farmers and decreased demand
from western feeders. At the opening
cables were easier, the southwestern mar
kets were very weak and fair weather was
universal In the country most needing It.
Receivers all reported liberal acceptances
from the country of Chicago bids. In many
cases at decreases. Much stuff was for
sale early on hedges. May started tV8A,o
down at 0VW50c, In company with wheat,
and hardly paused In its downward course
until it had struck 69g)694c The weak
ening of the holding sentiment on the
part of the farmers was reflected In the
pit with a higher intensity and liquida
tion of speculative holding went on at
an enormous rate. Nearly every house on
the floor took part in the selling, which
was for both local and country account.
The offerings were heaviest from those
nouses that were recently on the bull
side. Covering at times brought good
profits, but made no apparent effect on
prices. May closed very weak, lc down,
at b'JVtO. Receipts were 131 cars.
, Oats had a sympathetic market and
slumped In company with corn. No news
developed. For a time near the opening
trade was excited, with heavy offering on
one side of the pit and the other side al
most dry. After the opening break of
Siift'lc, May sold up to 43c off from Fri
day's close. But the bear sentiment pre
vailed, and the downward tendency was
constant. Liquidation waa general from
commission houses, and stop-loss orders
were executed liberally. May sold off to
41c and closed weak, lc lower, at 41c.
Much of the loss was due to the mild
weather and promises of Increased offer
ings from the west. Receipt were 94
cars.
Provisions were rather dull, though
bearlshly inclined., , The tone was com
paratively steady, ' considering the liber
ality of the hog movement and lower
f -rices at the yards. The grain weakness
nduced scattered selling. Offerings were
taken largely by shorts in pork. Packers
bought some lard and ribs and held them
steady. May pork sold as low as 116.60
and closed 17c down at 115.66; May lard,
lo lower at $9.37, and May ribs, 2(85c
lower at $8.42.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat,
$5 cars; corn, 33a cars; oats, 326 cars; bogs,
17.0110 head.

Market Slake Back Into Hondo of Pro-
fesslonnl Trader.
NEW YORK. Feb. 24 The stock market
sank back lato the professional traders'
hands todav and thera waa no imnortant
movement except in a few stocks of smaller
rauroans not allied to any oi tne greai
systems and In some minor industrials.
J he declines estab Ished for American
stocks In London since the close here on
Friday afternoon had to be faced at the
opening. This caused a lower level at flrct
than on last Friday, but prices were at no
time down to ths ltnilnn narltv and they
soon began to recover In spite of the sell
ing on arbitrage on London account at
the advance. The confidence that the su
preme court would refuse Jurisdiction In
Minnesota's suit against the Northern Se
curities company, which has been firmly
held In Wall etreet for three weeks, was
unimpaired this morning and the traders
did some of their buvlna on that basts.
The announcement of the decision by the
court failed to attract any outside demand
and the efforts of the traders to take their
Droflts caused a reaction in the market and
an easy closing. The decision of the ad
ministration to push tne case against tne
Northern Securities eomnanv deDrlved the
other suit of much of Its importance, but
the fact remains that one possible course
of proceedure against the company Is
closed by this decision, and a step thus
achieved toward the establishment of the
company' status. It is generally felt that
all possible courses of procedure will have
to be met In the same way. Tne profes
sionals who were on the bull side today
exchanged assurances that the administra
tion suit against tne company mignt oe
regarded as In the nature of a friendly
process to establish the true standing of
that company under the law and the visit
to Washington of some of the principal
financiers Interested' wss regarded as a
favoring factor for the outcome of the case.
This sort of argument was not so convinc
ing, Dut tnat tne professional traaers Kepi
keenly alert to each other' movements.
and when important selling to realise de
veloped all turned to the selling siae. rne
large street dealing's were in stocks which
moved under Individual Influences. In Sugar
the Influence was disappointment over the
measure agreed upon by the ways and
means committee from the duty on Cuban
sugar. Amalgamated Copper was affected
by the reported sale to it or a mine and
the removal of threatened litigation. Colo
rado & Southern was heavily Dousht with
an advance of over a point on reports of a
transfer of control. An upward movement
of a number of low-priced minor railroad
stocks had no other apparent cause tjban
sympathy with this movement In Colorado
& Southern. Tennessee Coal, was a feature
at an extreme advance of 3 points on
rumors or a resumption oi mvmenas. Deal
ings In Southern Pacific continued large,
but the movement In the Stock was small.
Foreign exchange continued to advance
today, influenced by London's selling of
ecuritles here and the small supply of
commercial exchange bills, but the local
money market continued easy. Chicago,
Indianapolis A Louisville advanced 3H, but
relapsed nearly 6 points.
The bond market showed some degree of
firmness, but business wa not large, except
In the Wabash debenture bs. Total sales,
par value, $334,000. United State 4s, cou
pons, declined and the registered ad
vanced per cent on the last call.
The Commercial Advertiser' London
financial cablegram says: Stock were
quietly steady today, pending the settle
ment, save in the case of South African
shares, which opened firm and then steadily
sagged. The public is out of the market
and Insiders are holding off, thinking that
the weak element nas not yet Deen snaKen
out. The American department opened
weak, dreading New York' opening after
the holiday, but the bull faction rallied
price when New York came as a buyer,
particularly of Union Pacific and Baltimore
A Ohio. Saturday's South African arrival
of gold has been taken for Paris. The price
Is 77s 7d. The Bank of England has fixed
the buying price of German coin at 76 4d.

CATTLE The supply of cattle today was
just about the same as it was a week
ago today. Chicago, however, wa quoted
considerably lower, and as a result buyers
were bearish in their views at this point
and did not seem to be particularly anxious
for very many cattle. For that reason
trade wa a little slow and the morning
was well advanced before the pens were
cleared.
The steer market was slow in opening
this morning, and as a general thing pack
ers were bidding 10c lower than Friday's
market. Sellers, of course, did not like
to make the concessions asked, and the
cattle were slow to change hands. In
some cases sales were made that were not
much lower, but still the bulk of the cattle
sold fully 10c lower than the same kinds
brought late last week.
There was an active demand, however,
for the better grades of cows and heifers
and the market could safely be quoted
steady on that class of stock. A high as
$6.40 was paid today for a cow, which Is a
good indication of what choice stuff will
bring. Canners and medium grade of cow
did not sell any too freely today, and
sellers In some cases found It a hard
matter to get what they considered steady
prices for that class of stock.
There was not enough change In the
prices paid for bulls, veal calves and stags
to be worthy of mention.
There were only a few stockers and feed
ers In the yards this morning, and a the
demand from the country has been of good
proportions the market today was active
and steady to strong. Owing to the light
supply of the better grades the common
cattle also sold without much trouble at
fully as good prices as were paid late last

SHEEP There was rather a meager
supply of sheep and lamb here this morn
ing, and, as packers were all anxious for
gooa stun, tne mantel was active ana
steady to strong. Offerings consisted of
about five cars of ewe and one car of
lambs, but most of them were of common
quality. Ewes sold as high as $4.30 and
$4.40, but aside from those two aales there
was nothing good enough to bring top
prices. Had there been any rood wethers
or lambs here today It Is safe to say that
they would have sold at good, strong
price.
Feeder continue In good demand at
strong prices, but there are very few being
orrerea.

LOECHNER CASE IN COURT
Defendaat'a Attorney Begin by Rals.
ins; Some Technical Objec
tions to TrlaL
John Henry Loechner of the South Omaha
school board ha fought hi flrt round Id
court and it 1 up to Judge Baxter to de
cide at :30 this morning whether the
Indictment against Loechner and other
of the board on the charge or malfeasance
in office sre to stand and the case go to
trial.
No sooner had the Judge overruled, yes
terday afternoon, the motion to quash the
Indictment against James Murphy, one of
the board members, than Loechner attor
ney, Ed P. Smith, blocked the beginning
of Loechner' trial with two technicalities
of law. The first was based on section 25
of the school board! law, which provide
that "all taxe collected for the benefit
of the public school shall be paid in
money, and shall be subject to tb order
of the Board of Education." The aUorney
maintained that this gave the board abso
lute liberty to do with school money a It
aw tit and that therefore IU alleged do
nation to the firm of Cuddington A Wilcox
for coal that wa never delivered waa be
yond the reach of the law.
The other and more important conten
tion was based on section 180 of the crimi
nal code, which states that for malfeasance
In office a sheriff, constable, register of
deeds, county commissioner, coroner, "or
any ministerial officer" shall be liable to
One of $200 and removal from office. The
school board member are not specifically
mentioned with the sheriff and others and
Attorney Smith claim also that they can
not be Included In the general classifica
tion Implied by the clause, "any minis
terial officer." He aver that Loechner, aa
a member of the school board, I an execu
tive or administrative officer and there
fore not subject to this provision tor peii
alty. If Judge Baxter shall concur in this
view this morning the decision of course
affect the whole board. If he does not so
concur the trial will at once proceed.
