Feet n res of the Trading Bad Closing;
Prices oa Board of Trad.
CHICAGO, Feb. 27. Increased stocks of
wheat at Minneapolis and lower prices at
Liverpool were the chief factors causing
a weak wheat market her today. At the
close the May delivery was off VU-Sc
Corn was down HfeHc Oats declined Vtf
He. 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. The
market closed' weak. May opened un
changed to a shade higher at VWika to
77c, sold at 77w78c and then declined to
Tlk87lc. Final quotations were at 77H.
'Clearances of wheat and flour were equal
to lb. (WO bu. Primary receipts were 640.000
bu. against 480,000 bu. for same day last
year. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago re
ported recelpta of 423 cara against 376 cars
last week and 403 cara one year ago.
Trading was quiet In the corn pit and
the market was In sympathy with wheat.
Local receipts were almost 100 cara In ex
cess of the eatlmate and weather condl
ttoha were favorable for tha 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. May oats opened unchanged to a
hade higher at 42(o42ViC to 42Hc, aold up
to t-'Sc, and then declined to 42o, where It
closed. Local recelpta were 93 cars.
Provlslona were firm on buying by shorts
and local packere. At the close May pork
was up 10c at 81160. Lard was up 2Hc at
7Hc Ribs were Wiko higher at 89.10
11SH.
Estimated recelpta for tomorrow: Wheat,

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

CATTLE There waa another fair run of
cattle this morning, not far from 200 cars
being reported. 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. Thla was to be ex
pected, however, aa the season Is near at
rand when stock cattle and feeders of me
dium weight oui;ht to sell better.

HOGS Hue; sold about 6c lower thla
morning. 8b., o being the popular price, with
a sprinkling at $u.774. It will be remem
bered that yesterday over half of all the
hogs sold at $o.su, with mora below than
above that figure. The trade today was not
particularly active and anil there waa a
fair demand at current prlcea and tha of
ferings fur the most part changed handa
In pretty good aeaaon. The latter market
waa hardly aa good aa the early. The day a
decline carries the market to the loweat
point touched thla month.

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

Ferryboat Gora Down.
BONESTEEL. 8. D Feb. 27.-(Speclal.) :
The gasoline ferry boat Oriole belonging;
to II. M. Carroll and which for years haa
been operating at the Wheeler crossing,
sunk to the bottom of the Missouri river
yesterday. 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. When the lea
broke the river raised rapidly and lifted
the Oriole partly upon the river bank. Aa
the river receded tha boat was left hang
ing on the bank, but gradually slipped
Into the river on Ita side, the hold filling
with water, thus causing It to sink. It I
feared that the boat will be a total (oaa, aa
It will settle Into the quicksand, making;
It almost Impossible to remove It.
