CHICAGO. May 1 Heavy wheat exports bulled grain today In the face of good wiather and good deliveries of May op tion. Corn waa Inclined to sag off on fa vorahle crop reports, but wheat helped It ympsthetlrally. The close showed July w heat mlNo higher, July corn o up and July oats 1c advanced. Provisions recov ered from a weak position and closed lV'ic higher. Wheat rated uniformly strong through Out the session. The news of rains In the northwest and the southwest and lower cables induced some early selling, but when It was seen that May deliveries amounting to t.UM.OOO bu. were readily taken up by shippers and carriers and that there was a good raah demand prices began to advance steadily. Minneapolis waa very strong on the fact that 1,K,000 bu. of May deliveries there, went directly Into the hands of millers. Prices there advanced 2c and Imparted much strength to the Chi cago market. B aboard clearances were very heavy at l,112.(int bu. and gave an added stimulus. Country offerings were still small and there was no selling pres sure after the advance began. France took six more loads, making 11 loads this week. All these bullish factors taken In consid eration with damage reports from Kansas 'and 100,000 bu. rash stuff sold here- pushed July to "c, after an opening Ho lower to .unchanged at lo''ftTfrSc Some long lines were liquidated for profits, but the market stood the sales well. July closed strong, .l'iQUfce. up, at 76TV&'77e. I-ocal receipts were to cars, none of contract grade. Minneap olis and Duluth reported 2"3 cars, making a 'total for the three points of 253 cars, -egalnat 19 last week and 301 a year ago. Primary receipts were 284,000 bu., against r342.o bu. a year ago. 1 Corn dragged most of the day under the depressing Influence of lower cables and cSxcellent crop reports. There waa some In clination to sell, but wheat and oats strength supported the pit. Deliveries were shout l.MO.OOo bu. and were taken In by the leading: bull houses. Otherwise the big Interest was not In the market. On the 'advance some buying resulted, but the close was only barely firm, up, at 6SHitf 63Sc Receipts were 125 cars. There was good action and some excite ment In oats when It was learned that the .leading May bull took all the 800,000 or 700. 000 bu. deliveries for cash. There was a 'fair outside demand through the commis sion houses and prices advanced easllv. The May situation Is again worrying the shorts. Inasmuch as they do not know how much stuff the leading: bull holds or -whether they will have to deliver. July closed strong, lc up, at gTc. Receipts were 1B7 cars. Provisions were supposed to have been manipulated again today by packers. The opening was depressed on the lower prices for hogs at the yards. Deliveries, how ever, were very small, only 1,000 barrels of pork and nothing of lard or ribs. There was sn early selling rush on the fear of a demoralized stock yards market as a re sult of the government's Investigation of the packing Interests. Offerings were soon scarce, packers bought heavily through brokers and prices jumped upward. Many of the usual long lines have been sold out In the last few days. July pork sold early at 118.70 and closed 17Hc up at I16.97V4; July lard closed WaUc higher at $10.10 and July ribs 10c higher at I960.

Decrease In Volnme of Badness and C'onfnslon of Sentiment. NEW YORK. May 1. The volume of dealings fell off again in today's stock market snd the movement of prices Indi cated much uncertainty and confusion of sentiment. Then a flurry In call money to 15 per cent would go far to explain the ac tion of the market, but there were some supplementary causes which were con fusing and no doubt had something to do with the rise In the money rate. The May disbursements for dividends snd Interest are estimated at over 858.- (XO.OOO, Including the heavy payments for inueo. Biates steel oivmenus. rne united States treasury operations this week have taken from the banks over $2,600,000, largely due to deposits to retire bank cir culation. The government Interest due todav amounts to about $1,500,000 and additional deposits of government funds to the ex tent of several million dollars are ex pected to be made by the secretary of the treasury. The rise In the money market has had the effect also of easing the forela-n ex. change market, currying it away from the goia export point. ine international power episode carried a decidedly feverish feeling among the obscure class of In dustrials. The higher grade of storks of this class were less affected, although United States securities showed some de pression, partly due to some public dis cussion of a rather biting character of the financing of the corporation. Sugar. Amalgamated copper and Peoples' Gas were firm to strong. The grain-carrying railroads started to advance on the over-night reports of showers In Kansas and the northwest hut the advance was checked by the failure of me grain market to reflect any benefit to the crops. I here was large and concen trated buying of St. Paul, which seemed to be due to the advance In dividend rata on Northern Pacific from a 4 per cent to a 6 per cent basis. Another notable center of strength was In the SoHthern trunk lines, wnicn naa no otner explanation than the reports of very large north and south traffic. The movement affected Louisville & Nashville. Illinois Central. Chlruvn In. dlanapolls dt Louisville and Nashville and io a less extent soutnem railway. The fixing of the May semi-annual dividend rate on Pennsylvania at 3A ner cent in. duced large buying of that stock. ror two years past the May dividend on Pennsylvania has been 2 per cent, while In November there was a declaration of 2 per cent regular and 1 Der cent extra The rate of disbursement Is unchanged by today's declaration.

It was evident, however, from the way pack era acted that there was enough to meet all requirements, so that the market was slow and weak from start to finish. There was not so much change from yesterday In the prices paid, but packers wtrc very indifferent buyers. The bulk of the receipts consisted of beef steers and the quality was good, the sume as It has been for some time past. The market was slow In opening and packers as a rule tried to buy their supplies lower. Sellers, though, were holding for steady prices, and the most of the cattle that changed hands sold that way. It waa hard to get steady prices, though, so that al though offerings were light It was late be fore snythlng like a clearance was mode. As compared with the high time, the ma jority of salesmen called today's market t'fn&oc lower than the high time. Some thought the best cattle had not declined quite that much, but the general run of steers are safely 4060c lower than the high time. The cow market was also slow today, but not far from steady. The feeling, though, was by no means Arm. and the tendency was to pound the market wherever possi ble. Some sales looked a little lower, but as a rule sellers succeeded in getting right close to steady prices for the desirable grades. There were comparatively few .nva n4 kalfara In thai LB rH. thU mawhImct but it was late before they were out oi first hands. A very choice heifer sold as high as $6.00, but sne wss better than any thing that has been seen here In a long time. There was not enough change from yes terday In the prices paid for bulls, veal calves and stags to be worthy of mention. While prices held about steady trade waa by no means active. There were only a few stockers and feed ers In the yards, and as the demand from the country remains very light the market was slow snd no more than steady. Good stuff sold without much trouble, but com mon grades were neglected, the same as usual. Yesterday there were only a doxen loads shipped to the country. Representa tive sales: BEEP STEERS.

Of the manv stranee situations tfiut hn-a been produced by the turns and twists of the Mississippi river, reports the Chicago Tribune, none Is stranger and none so terriDie in Its results as that In "Madrid Bend," where this areat stream, turnlnsr north from Island No. 10, sweeps across the line from Tennessee Into Kentucky, rounds Into the Mlsourt shore, snd then sweeping southward, cuts the line again to Tennessee. Thus It cuts off a section of Kentucky from the rest of the slate ami even from the county to which It helotiRx. and, wrapping sround It a coil of Its own wild waters, olds It aloof from law and order, from right and Justice, and clings to It as the last resort in which may thrive the outlawry and crime which half a century ago were rampant along the whole river, There Is probably no other place In America today in the heart of a cultivated country where human life Is held so cheap ss In this little region that lies opposite New Madrid, Mo., and pays Its taxes at Hickman. Fulton county. Ky. This Is Ken tucky Point, the home of the Darnell watson feud. In which more than forty men- are said to have been killed. Four miles wide and about seven miles long, it Is settled as thickly as any farming region, in eastern Kentucky, produces enormous crops of cotton, employs hundreds of pick ers and Is always a scene of activity. Yet It has neither court nor constable, Jail nor Jailer, and acknowledges no law that does not accord with Its own notions of Justice. Many months have elapsed since a sheriff visited this region snd many years since he took a prisoner out from it to a'and trial at the Hickman court house. Yet a week seldom goes by that some man is not killed by a fellow somewhere on the point. With the Mississippi oil every side hot one, nnd Missouri across it. and with Tennessee on the fourth Bide, the murderer Is certain of easy escape be Iore thirty miles away, could be notified and come to the scene.
