STAMPEDE TO SELL SPURS COLLAPSE

i lull Krndmrnt,
riMCAno. April 25-Ralns In the four
big surplus wheat and corn states played
havoo with the price of grains on the
Board of trade today and caused a commo
tion for a time that resembled a stampede,
- . L .1 .. .......I.,.- I. . . .. I I
sell, Mil. 1'rlces fluctuated so widely and
wildly that for a time a panic was reared
When traders recovered their heads the
pita quirted down somewhat. The bears,
however, had too much the best of the
srgiimmt to allow prices to recover and
May wheat cloned lVVlVc lower. May corn
lc down and May oats lc off. Provisions,
though showing Independent strength for a
time, could not withstand me pounoing in
g-ralns and they closed EffT'c to 15c lower.
There was a wild onenlna" In the wheat
pit. Rain had fallen during, the night copi
ously over Iowa, Illinois, Missouri ana Ne
braska and the altuRtlon was materially
relieved In Kansas. Strangely enough, the
heavy downpour In this city, as usual,
added fright to wheat holders, and with
one accord there was a general wheat
dumping press at the sound of the opening
gong. Everybody seemed to have selling
orders. So rapla was the decline and so
Irregular the fluctuations that stop-loss
orders were soon met and additional stuff
was thrown Into the pit, contributing tow
ard a further weaKness. npecuiators in
general, big and little brokers, commission
houses, scalpers ana plungers, ten ine n
feet of the extremely bearish weather con
riltlone following- the slump of yesterday.
Of course rains were expected for a long
time and trader had fortified themselves
with stop-loss selling orders. Hut there
waa such a quantity for sale that the break
became a collapse Instead of a decline. Two
million bushels were unloaded by several
houses. The English cables were not re
sponsive to our elump of yesterday, but
they soon got Into line and closed weak.
Receipts were weak and statistical papers
Issued bullish reports. Another support
was the apparent steadiness of the Kansas
City market In the faoe of the break here.
Pome traders were arguing that that mar
ket should be In better position to know
the truth of the situation than the present
crowd. Outside markets were weak, but
reports still complained of crop damage.
After the early tumult prices recovered
somewhat, but bearish aentlment Induced
further pressure and the market weakened
again. May wheat opened HSo lower,
with sales ss wide apart aa 744 c to 7?c.
Julv sold at the start between 7c and
75V The close was weak. May lVkfl'io
lower, at 74VC, and July 114c off at X
(fisS'SiC. Local receipts were M cars, none
of contract grade, and Minneapolis and
Puluth reported 108 cars, making a total
for the three points of 134 cars, against 136
last week ami 267 a year ago. Argentine
shipments were l,4H4.0a bu., compared to
l.Si'C.ono last year. Primary receipts were
154.fKK) hu., against sM.noo a year ago. Sea
board clearances In wheat and flour equaled
715.000 bu. Minneapolis and Duluth stocks
are expected to show decreases for the
week, respectively, of 800,000 and 1,000.000 bu.
Last week the decrease of the two markets
combined was 1,200,000 bu.
Corn suffered even a worse break than
Wheat at the opening, slumping as much
as 2Vc. Wheat sympathy and the general
rains were the factors. All day the pit waa
a scene of much excitement and nervous
feeling. Corn was dumped freely Into the
pit regardless of prices. Stop-loss orders
came out all the way down and during the
early scramble there was practically no
support. Even the big bull crowd sold out
much of their holding for profits. "Tallers"
were badly squeeted. After the general
selling movement had seemingly knocked
the bottom out of the market there was
some responsive buying and prices recov
ered mc from the low point of the day.
Subsequently much of tnls recovery was
again lost as scalpers sold again. Country
offerings of corn ware freer than they have
been for some time, especially from III
nols. Iowa corn also was offered In liberal
quantities, hut not much from there came
Into Chicago, for Kansas City was lVac
over this market. St. Louis was weak.
May corn opened Mo lower at 624
SI No and slumped to SlVsC. July started -4
file lower at WtftttVic and touched 62c.
The close was weak, but July and May
closed lc higher at 6c and 63V4C, respec
tively. Receipts were 119 cars.
Oats declined with the break In other
grains, but the market ruled comparatively
quiet. Considerable stuff was sold on stop
loss orders and the effect of the ralna on
the sown osts was bearish. Receipts also
were heavier. Receivers and provision
dealers were the best early sellers. Later
there was some fair Investment buying
which picked up some Of the loss. The
close, however, was weak. May sold from
42c to 41S.C, reacted to 43c and closed lo
lower at 424c. Receipts were 167 cars.
Provisions maintained a Arm undertone
the greater part of the session In spite of
the weakening Influence of grains. Prices,
however, slid off In the face of a light run
of hogs, and the highest prices of the year
at the yards. Rears made some use of the
contemplated prosecutlun of the meat trust
to depress prices, but packers supported
the market at the decline. There was a
rtood demand for products, especially for
urd. July pork closed 16c lower at IU.87H.
July lard t$7Hc off at 9.95 and July ribs
ii7Hc down at I9.72H.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat,
SO cars; corn, 142 cars; oats, 146 cars: hogs,
12.000 head.

NEW YORK, April 26. There was a rer-
sistent tendency today among tne stocks
or grain-carrying railroads to move In
see-saw fashion with the price of grain
The heavy liquidation and a violent break
In prices In this morning's grain market
sent prices of the grangers tip with a
rush. I nlon Paclflc leading with an ad
vance of 24. The movement spent Its force
wnen it was seen tnai gooo nuying naa ne
veloped In the grain market at e decline
and that prices were rallying there from
the slump caused by reporta of last night s
rains and a forecast for fair weather to
morrow.
The whole market felt the lack of earlv
aggressive leadership of Union Pacific, and
during the Anal hour there waa a ragged
recession, which wiped out many early
gains and carried prices of Important stocks
among the grangers, coalers: New York
public utilities and high-priced Industrials
below last night.
There was a late advance In the southern
group marked by very large buying of
Duumem nanway at an extreme advance
of 14. Louisville was lifted at the same
tle 2H and Chicago, Indianapolis & Louis
ville 34 over last night after erratic Auc
tuations. This movement seems designed
to check the decline elsewhere In the mar
ket, and when It was seen to be without
enect tne southern stock reacted. There
was some bidding up of the grangers again
at the close, which, was active and steady.
There was large buying of the United

CATTLE There was rather a light Fri
day's supply of cattle here today and the
receipts at other markets were also short.
The feeling, though, was weak and as a
result slow markets were experienced.
Packers did not seem to be at all anxious
for supplies and aa a rule they bid con
siderably lower than they did yesterday.
The steer market waa extremely slow
this morning and It waa late before much
of anything was done. Packers bid all of
6010c lower than yesterday and In some
cases lOftloc lower. Sellers, of course,
were holding for more money, so that
trading was very slow. Packers were not
at all anxious for cattle and would seldom
raise their bids. The general market could
safely be quoted 5010c lower on the good
stuff and the coir moner grades wero worse
than that. It was very late before any
thing like a clearance was effected.
The cow market was also slow and lower.
Packers were very Indifferent buyers and
the same conditions applies to the trade
on cows as menuonea unove ror steers.
As a rule the market was right around
6010c lower than yesterday and In some
cases more. The greatest decline was on
the commoner grades.
' Bulls, veal calves and stags did not show
much change today where the quality was
satisfactory, but If the quality was poor
they were neglected and lower.
There were oniy a tew siocaers and feed
ers In tne yards ana ine aemann was ex
ceedingly light, with the tendency of
prices downward.- Anything on the com
mon order waa almost Impossible to move
at any price. The demand from the coun
try has been very light for the last few
days and yesterday only eleven cars of
cattle were shlrped to the country. Rep
resentative sales:

As to the probable income which may
supply dividends on the stock, we quote
from the speech of Mr. Marconi at the
meeting of the Marconi Wireless Tele
graph Co.. Ltd., held in Loudon on Feb
ruary 20th last
He said: 'Returning to the question
of commercial working, I may mention
the It Is no uncommon thing for the
messages passing to and from a liner,
either outward or homeward bound, to
realize, apart from service messages, a
sum of from 30 to 40. Upon a recent
arrival of one of the American liners
in home waters no less than 8,050 words
were transmitted and received within
the space of sixteen hours. I would point
out that In each complete day of twenty
four hours only that same number of
words should be transmitted between
two of our transatlantic stations and
the supposition is, surely, not an extrav
agant one that, at (id a word, would
represent an annual income of over
73,000 from each pair of such stations,
of which, in the first Instance, we are
proceeding to install two pairs."
From the directors' report submitted
at that same time we quote as follows
A formal agreement has also been
concluded with Lloyds, whereby that
corporation has adopted Marconi's sys
tem exclusively In connection with their
signal stations. The necessary Instru
ments are now being installed at ten of
their stations and these will alsov be
worked for the passenger and commer-
iul traffic of the Marconi International
Marine Communication Company.
"The chief steamship companies are
also giving orders for installations on
their vessels, the Cunard Line, Nord-Deutcher-Lloyd,
Compagule Trausatlan-
tiuiie. Beaver Line, Belgian Mall Pack
ets, etc., etc., are regularly and success
fully employing the Marconi system to
the great satisfaction of the passengers
ud of the officers of these vessels. 1 bis
example will doubtless soon be followed
by other steamship companies.

system of shore stations, and by means
of the agreement with Lloyds, the Mar
coni system has secured a practical
monopoly of mercantile marine signal
ling and sea telegraphy, and the Instru
ments have therefore become the stand
ard instruments for the ships of all
nations. It may be noted that ships
fitted with the Marconi Instruments will
alone, to the exclusion of all others, have
the right and power of using for wire
less telegraphy Lloyds and the Interna
tional Shore Stations established and be
ing established throughout our organiza.
tion. The Instruments specially design
ed for sea piirjwses are used In every
day commercial work over a range of
100 miles or more and great Improve
ments have been effected In other re
spects." The Marconi system has been adopted
by the British Admiralty and the ships
of the navy are being steadily equipped,
over 37 vessels having been already
equipped. This Is under a contract giv
ing the English company a substantial
royalty, and for a ieriod of 14 years.
The Marconi system has been adopted
by the Italian navy, and negotiations
are being carried on with various govern
ments aud work is In proifress for othep
engagements of an Important and bene
ficial character.
It Is Intended that the station at Cane
Cod, now almost completed for transat
lantic work, shall be equipped In the
most efficient and thorough manner and
Immediately. Another station Is to lie
erected at once ot Montauk Tolnt for
marine service.
With such a revolution lu world-
around communication it would lie Inad
visable at the present time to make de
tailed statistical estimates of the com
mercial profits that are confidently ex
pected, but of all wireless telegraph In
ventions the Marconi alone have shown
commercial value, and this company is
the sole owner of all rl. hts to the Mar
coni system iu the United States.

sheep and lambs on aale today, so that the
receipts for the week to date show a big
decrease both as compared with the ssms
days of lust week and of last year. lvua,
puckers, though, took hold In good shapt
and everything was disposed of In good
seaxon at Just about sUaily prices as com
pared with yesterday. '1 lis quality of the
offerings was nothing extra, ae hat the
