Provisions were up tHo to 10c Commission houses commenced to sell wheat at the opening of today's market on tha report that the amount of wheat in atore at Minneapolis had Increased 6U0.0U0 buahela, and on the statement that prlcea at Liverpool had declined Hd. Aa the ses sion advanced additional news of a bearish character was received which added fresh Impetus to the selling movement. It waa reported from Russia wheat crop In the aouthern provlnoea of that country had -not been aa seriously damaged as had been reported. Conditions In this country were also ' favorable to the bears. Recelpta In the northwest were liberal and the weather both In the northwest and southwest was favorable for tha crop movement.

Pit traders were the principal sellers and of ferings were taken ' chiefly by commission houses. The close was easy, with prices at the lowest, point of tfie day. May corn opened a shade higher at 4Hc, sold off to 47Ho and closed at tha bottom. Loral receipts were 860 cars, with two of contract grade. Oats were weak on realising by small holders. Tha break In wheat waa largely responsible for the selling pressure.' Small local receipts caused considerable buying by caah houses, but tha demand was not sufficient to prevent a material decline In price.

SPECULATORS FEAR NEW LEGISLATION Market la t nsnpported and Prlcea Are Materially Lower Close Steady Wltkeat Important Recoveries. NEW YORK. Feb. 27.-The atock mar ket was upset touay by selling of tno same extensive aim varied cuaiacier as mat wiiu n Uioae prices on Monuay to new low levels lor tne year. Yesterday's rally had given tne Inipienslon mat Monday s senilis was largely tor prolesalunal snort account. Today a selling iiau much the appearance of liquidation and the market was In the same uusupporied condition us on Monday, a tact which accounted largely tor Hie material lnruaus un prices on comparatively light selling. It wae generally neld mat the develop ments at the Interstate Commerce com mission inquiry were responsible fur the tone of the speculation. It was not any Immediate Item of Information ulsclOHcd that prompted the selling of securities, but the tears of the ultimate consequence growing out of the Investigation. The recognised aim of tha investigation is to demonstrate tha desirability or necessity of more stringent control over railroad companies by the government, especially In tne matter of Issues of capital and pur chase of stocks In other properties, on account of the bearing on the freight rates charged which these matters have. It is believed that, so far as the Impression on the public mind U concerned, the Inquiry will have the effect of strengthening tne contention of the government substantially and of furthering the eftoita to eecure legislation to secure those aims. The acknowledged effect of the hearing on the mind of ooservers Is that of an exercise of Individual power through the resources of the great railroad companies that seems Invincible. The showing Is Imposing, even to the Wall Mreet mind, which has some famil iarity with the conditions and views them with the spirit which custom breeds. A de cided growth In the agitation for restric tion and control of corporate powers Is expected. Some disturbance was caused to sentiment by supplenuntnry rumors cf in terest felt on the part of stockholders of aomo of the great railroad In a move ment parallel to thnt In the Insurance com panies following the Insurance Investiga tion. These rumors were poorly defined and were given their principal Influence by associating some of the names presented in the campaign against the old insuranco control In th aliened plan f r the new crusaQe of minority stockholders. Addi tional legal restraints upon the flduclury activities of railroad directors and execu tive officials were the suggested met hi Us of procedure. The news of the passage by the senate of tho Aldrlch currency measure was of dls. appointing effect on the market. Thero was a momentary rise In the rpenlng deal ings, but prices promptly sold off again with A growing downward Impetus. The average level at the lowest was rather lower than was touched earlier In the week. The average was affected by acute weakness In a few prominent stocks, nota bly Reading, which was severely deprensed by a continuous stream of selling. Thnt stock and Louisville Ar Nashville were sub jects of recurring rumors of a forthcom ing note issue. There was some extensive buying during the final hour, which seemed to be profit-taking by the bears. It had the effect cf steadying the rhnrket. but there were no Important recoveries.

Fir the week the receipts, however, show a decided falling olt as com pared with last wtek and a year ago. While there waa no great chanpe In the market for beef steers thl morning the feeling was decidedly better. Packers acted more .ia If they wanted the cattle and there was decidedly more life to the trade than yesterday. Prlcea were fully ateady and If anything a little strong In apcta. The me dium klnda of cattlo, If anything, sold more freely than the heavier gradee. There waa also more life In the cow trade and desirable fat cowa and heifers sold more freely than yesterday. As to prlcea, there waa not much change, the market being generally steady with now and then s.iles cf something that buyers happened to v ant that looked a little higher, gome rattle that were carried over from yester day afternoon brought more money than was offered yesterday. The supply of stfekera and feeders In first hands was very small, but there were a good many In the hands of apeculatora. Still there seemed to be a fair demand, es pecially for good stock cattle, which are selling decidedly better than was the case a week rr two ago.

TROUBLES OF ONE EDITOR Drraaie He Advertlee Trips) Ceantr Raatera Mea Tklnk Me OWII tl. BONESTEKL, 8. IX. Feb. V. (Special.) The prospective opening of Tripp countf to settloment la not only creating an Influx of people, but lenda to many amusing clr cumatances. tending to show the vsg-ue kleaa people of the eastern part of tha nation have of thla "boundless west." One of the most amualng of these la tha trouhlea of one of Boneateel'a edMora, Mr. Ferd Relchmann. Mr. Relchmann la err trrprlalng. and foreseeing the trend ot events and knowing that there would soon, be a call for mapa of the new territore" to be opened, he had a map made of Tripp county and since the hills authorising the opening of same have passed congress, ha has advertised his map In a modest wiy, In the dally papers In the east, tn hi little advertisement he states that there la about one million acres of land to be opened to settlement. People back east arej evidently willing to believe anything of tha wonderful possibilities In the way of ac cumulating wealth In the weat at least a great many of them, who probably never heard of government homeeteads, aem to think thnt Mr. Relchmann owns thla "mlN Hon acres" of land which ha advertises. He la being overwhelmed with letter from, eastern f'c-ple who want to go Into partner ship with him and help him Bell It. Re cently he received a letter from a man who offered to send him buyers for the land If he would enter Into a contract agreeing? to pay tha customary "one dollar per.- Mr. Relchmann la polite as well as enter prising and he at first attempted to an awer these letters and set the writers) right, but aa the letters Increased ha soon abandoned that Idea. Many of the letters are from nin of means who are looking fog an Investment, but who are not posted oa the opening up of Indian reservations. Mr. Relchmann la calling on his friends for aid and Is now turning a part of tha let ters over to A. R. Kull, secretary of tho Bonestfel Chamber of Commerce, the Greg, ory County Abstract company, the Church Information bureau and other concerns or persona who agree to answer them. Mean time the lettera are Increasing and Mr. Relchmann Is being dubbed "Million-acre Relchmann." Ferryboat Gora Down. BONESTEEL. 8.

The boat la valued at $4,000 and waa considered one of the beat ferry boats on the river. Mr. Carroll did not put his boat In dry dock last fall as he haa been In the habit of doing, but allowed It to fre se fast In the river.
