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.
Kstlmated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat.
0 cars; corn. 205 cars; oats, 210 cars; hogs,
23.0UO head.

SEW YORK STOCKS AD BONDS.
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.
The undecided question of the anthracite

CATTLE After the b:g receipts of yes
terday today's run seemed very light. 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:

Ultima Th.n a.m not nesrlv ss msny
hogs on sale todav as there were yesterday,
but as other markets were ell quoted lower
prices at this point slso took a tumble
The market opened up rather slow and
shout fvuioc lower than yesterday.
The market, however, grew more active
later on and gained a little In strength, so
that a Rood many hogs did not sell over
a nickel lower. Practically everything was
sold In good sesson, though, of course, the
lightweight and common graues were neg
lected, the same as usual, and were left
until the last end of the market. The bulk
of the good weight hogs sold from $7.00 to
$7.15, medium weights from $6.) to $7.00
and the lightweights from $6.90 down. Rep
resentative sales:

Nook In Kentucky Where Lawlessness)
Relana Supreme.
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.
