CHICAOO. May 1 There wss considera
ble strength In the wheat market todsy,
due to reports of probable damage to crops
and stronger outside markets, and July
closed firm with a gain of 4c. Corn showed
heaviness at the start, but rallied later,
closing steady with July up ic Oats were
teady, July rloHing a shade lower, while
provisions were down from lUU lf& 14c
Shorts were responsible for the strength
tn wheat, they having commenced early
to rivr, and In the absence of any selling
Sressure the market advanced materially,
uly showed some weakness early after
opening unchanged to a shade higher at
I2e., and sold off to 72c on liberal selling,
Induced by Improved weather conditions.
The loss was soon recovered, however, and
on strength In the cash situation advanced
to 73c. closing with a gain of c at 727c.
Trading was moderate, commission houses
selling tc advance. Exports of wheat and
flour for the week, according to Brad
afreet's, were equal to S.tlVOoO bushels and
clearances 320,000 bushels. Primary receipts
were 832.M4 bushels, against 335.797 a year
ago. Minneapolis and Duluth reported re
ceipts of 153 cars, which with local re
ceipts of 32 cars none of contract grade
made a total of three polnta of 1H6 cars,
against 167 last week and 292 a year ago.
Apprehension In "long" circles on good
weHther conditions caused a break In July
corn after a steady opening, but a good
demand soon developed and there wns a
recovery, the market remaining st'atly the
remainder of the day. Trade was rather
light and featureless. Some buying by
shorts, commission houses, and by brokers
thought to be acting for Armour, wns
offset by free selling by local traders.
July opened unchanged to c lower at
WcM5Vc, and after touching 44e, reacted
to the high point for the day, where It
clored at 45'itji 46v,e a gain of V". The
cash demand wn fairly good, Deliveries
Were 600,000 bushels.
Oats were a trifle easier, with the
Weather and Increased receipts. There wai
some buying by the leading longs, but as a
rule the volume of trade was small. There
was some Improvement In the cash de
mand. Crop advices were moderately bull
ish, but Improvement In the weather offset
this Influence. July closed a shade lower
at 31ifi3174,c, after ranging between 31Nc
and 31!(3-c. lcal receipts were 171 cars.
Provisions ruled weak, due largely to the
selling of lard by brokers and to liquida
tion on the part of some recent buyers.
Packers bought moderately on the decline
and- the close wns weak, July pork being
16c lower at 117.000, lard down lilili'c ut
t9.23ii9.25, and ribs off 10c at W-4o.

Another Low Record is Made When
Less Than SSO.OIKl Shares Sell.
NEW YORK, May 1. Less than 250.000
shares were dealt In on the Stock ex
change today, making the low level thus
far for the year. The market was In
tensely dull, and throughout a large por
tion of the total dealings were In a few
stocks, notably Pennsylvania. Missouri Pa
cific and stocks of corporations in the city
of New York having franchise privileges.
The rise In the last-named group was gen
eral. The declaration by the Pennsylvania
directors of the regular semi-annual divi
dend of 3 per cent was the occasion of
buying of Pennsylvania up to a level
above last night by the traders, who had
sold the stock on an Irresponsible rumor
that the dividend was to be reduced. Del
aware & Hudson Was marked up rapidly
6H In the late dealings, without any spe
cial neWS tb account for it Th rnnn,.n.
trated buying and bMIng up of Missouri ! Canton, O
r-aciiic was aiinoured to the pool which
has long been Interested In the stock
Some of the other Gould stocks sympith zed
In ths movement. The traders took their
profjts on a small scale during the Inst
hour, and thus reduced the price level
slightly, but the closing was steady. There
was no change of Importance In general
conditions to account for the veering
around of sentiment from that of yester
day. The quiet tone of th wheat market
detracted somewhat from the anxletv lest
the western frosts should have damaged the
crops.
The severity of the weather mnife mnra
Impression In the cotton market. Ixuis
vli:e A Nashville reported an Increase In
net earnings for March of 1229.792 out of an
Increase In grots of 1478,49s. The showing
made by forty-four railroads which hav-i
reported for the month of March is of an
Increase of nearly 28 per cent on the net
earnings, compared with March of last
year. The week's movement of currency
has again-been largely In favor of New
York, even allowing for the 8600.000 gold
shipped to Paris. I5O0.000 shipped to Argen
tine and something near 11.000,000 to Canada.
The receipts from the interior have over
balanced these losses apparently, to the
extent of over 83,000.000. The notable
strength of sterling exchange was of ac
count more than the currency movement.
It waa agreed among the bankers that the
lack of immediate shipping facilities was
all that precluded exports of gold today.
There 'Was a slight hardening in the call
loan market to 3 per cent, due to the ar
rangements for the regular Mav 1 pay
ments of dividends snd Interest and to he
payment of subscription on the 810.000.000
of new Erie convertible bonds which called
for between 88,000.000 and I8.o00.0o0.
The closing of the London Stock ex
change waa a factor In the dullness of
the trading. Bonds were Irregular. Total
sales, par. value. 31.8OO.O0Q. United States
bonds were all unchanged on the last call.

Totals
CA'i'TI.TC There wss
here today for a Friday, but at the same
time there were none too many to meet
the requirements of local packers and ths
market ruled active and fully steady from
start to finish.
The bulk of the recelDts was made up or
cornfed steers, but buyers were In tha sad
dle suan early hour ana tns maraet couia
safely be quoted steady to strong and ac
tive on gooa nanay-weigm came, xnere
was. however, some unevenness to toe
traoe owing to the rather rapid fluctuations
that have taken place this week, so that
seme salesmen were not calling ths market
as strong as some others. As a general
thing, tnougn, tne tuna mat suuea pacaers
sold to a little better advantage than they
did yesterday, while the heavy cattle were
rather slow and, If anything, a little lower.
The cow market waa also quite active ana
fully steady. Buyers all seemed to have
liberal orders ana as tne supply wss not at
all excessive It was only a short time be
fore all the early arrivals were disposed of.
The canners and cutters, of course, were
rather slow sale, the same as they have
been for some time past, bat anything at
all good was easily disposed of at very sat
isfactory prices.
Hulls continued In good demand at fully
steady crloes and veal calves and stags
showed no quotable change from yesterday.
The supply 01 atocaers ana teeaers was
rather limited this morning and so also
was the demand, as is apt to be the case
toward -the close of the week. The tendency
of prices has been decidedly .downward all
tnis ween ana as comparea wun ins Close
of last week It Is safe to tiuoie all kinds
of Btockers and feeders, the good as well as
the common, fully iyZoc lower, the great
est decline being on the Interior grades.

here this morning, and v.hlle the market
opened about steady, later reports from
other points, which were unfavorable to
the selling interests, caused n weakness
here. Before half of the hoirs had changed
hands buyers began to lower their bids and
kept on until they were bidding weak to 5o
lower than the ear.y sales. Sellers, of
course, wanted the morning prices. 10 thnt
although receipts were Unlit It was rather
late belore a clearance was made. Pack
ers, though, said they would rather ko
without the huiis than to pay more money
for them, so sellers linally hud to cut loose.
The bulk of the hogs koltl from $6.80. to
$C.5, with prime htavles selling as high
as $6.90. Owing to the weskness toward
the close the averase nrlce today is a shade
tiuin yesterauy. xepirrininw

BHEEP There were onlv a few cars Ot
sheep and lambs reported this morning, and
several of them were late In arriving. As
a result there was comparatively little
stuff on sale at the opening of the market.
From the way buyers acted it was very
evident that they are getting hungry for
good stuff and the prices they bid for the
few that arrived Justified salesmen in quot
ing the market active and stronger. As
compared with the close of last week trad
ers in general are calling the better grades
2612'dOc higher, but the common stuff has
shown very little Improvement. Packers
do not seem to be at all snxlous for any
thing but well fattened sheep and lambs,
and as the demand for feeders Is very
limited the common kinds are a good deal
of a drug on the market.

Through ths will of the late Dr. Lvssnder
Dlckermon of Boston, Brown university

Any teacher who has taught ten years In
the public schools of Pennsylvania may
marry without the risk of losing her posi
tion If a bill which has been Introduced
Into the legislature, to that effect passes.
It Is claimed that the Massachusetts
State Normal school system is the best In
the country. 46 per cent of the pupils In the
public schools being normal trained. The
normal schools are run by the state, and
there were last year In attendance 1.6-vl
teachers.
Philadelphia Is' about to build a new
manual training aohool, for which It Is ex
pected that $200,000 will be spent. It Is to
be the largest building In the world de
voted to manual training. There will be a .
free industrial library in connection with
the school. -
The St. Cloud OMInn.) Board of Education
has been doing extraordinary things. Mem
bers have been examining the work of ths
ptiblia schools In the light of commonsense.
They have been counting thu ci aid
value of teaching from the point of view of
the taxpayer. They have even been taking
the trouble to examine their own children
In order to test the efficiency at schnnl
work. This seems to have been going nrt
for two years. As a final result all the
fads have been bundled out of the St
Cloud nubile spools, neck and crop; snd
notice has been served upon the teacher
that they must think leas of flttlnir mi til ! ,
