SZLLE70 ORDERS EAELY IN DAT Bears Work for Reaelloa, hat Ara ler Pat to Flight s4 Kee aloa Ends with Baoyaat Rally. NEW YORK. April 17.-The stock market today gave further evidence of some unset- llement of speculative aentiment. The sharp reaction of the day before and argu ment of the unfavorable bearing of the wheat market aituatlon stocks hHd the ef fect of bringing In selling orders. Part of these were executed In the London market bt fore the opening here and the price In New York opening at the London parity or below, represented considerable declines from the level at which the market left off. The professional traders on the floor worked Tor a reaction. The manner In which the market absorbed the atock ot tered and the apperance of support for prices had an Intimidating effect on the bear and Inspired some covering of shorts. The bear took to flight in tbe late deal ings and caused the buoyant rally which ended the day. Foreign markets were still disturbed to some extent by the troubles in Turkey. The recent large gold outgo to Bouth Amer ica, together with the considerable syndl cate operation In connection wtlh bond flotations, has led the lender of money on time to attempt an advance In rate of interest, but borrower hold off and the result is great decline In the money mar ket. Reading waa exempt from Its recent week-end depression In anticipation of a poasime decision on Monaav in tne com mndltles clause cases. Central Railroad of New Jersey rose buoyantly with helpful effect on Reading and the coalers . gener ally.

The victory of Cornhusker Mitchell In the Individual conteat give the local student great satisfaction, for It wa won against the beat athlete from three of the leading school of the west Minnesota, Chicago and Wisconsin. Nebraska did not expect to win the team contest, for Or. Clapp had only thrte athletes who could perform well enough to be entered in the contest. Two of these Morehouse and Trump are new at the work and had no chance against the more experienced men from the other schools. Mitchell, the third Cornhusker, however, has for three years been regarded as a star, and It was In him that all hope for bringing honor to the scarlet and cream was centered. His spec tacular work, despite a sore hand and wrenched ankle, won for him applause from all hi cnmpttltora and from the large aud ience. He was easily the star of the con test. Mitchell won the medal by securing first place In two event; second place In two. and fourth place In another. Berndt of Chlcsgo, who was Mitchell's closest com petitor, took first place In one event, sec ond place In one. third In two and ninth In tumbling.

Chicago's winning of the team contest so eaally. wtlh a margin of 174.8 points over Its nearest competitor, came as a surprise; for both Wisconsin and Minneaota had been held as fsvorlte over the Maroons. Minne sota, who had been regarded as a sure Winner, hsd to take second place. The Chicago team was better balanced than the Gophers. A trio cf the Windy Citv men Berndt.

After a memorable speculative week the tickers' "good night" was received st noon today with s deep sigh of relief from Beard of Trndc men, not to mention an army of laymen drawn Into the vortex of the wheat pit hy tit publicity given Jsmes A. Patten, the bull leader, and his following. "Good night" meant a day and a 'inlf for quiet reflection on tbe great problem of the season. Will the public est tills year's . or last year's wheat three mi nlhs hence? Today Mr. Patten personally left Hi market to Its fate, which lute, from ll4 view of the Palten crowd. Improved con siderably, aa prices advanced over a cent In May and July options. Mr. Patten paid his respects to Secretsry of Agriculture Wilson, declaring that the latter's estimate of available supplies Is a joke and lectured reporters who he alleges have been more entertaining than accurate In their atcrlaa. Tariff on Wheat As to talk of removing I! tariff on wheat as a slap at manlpulttto Mr. Pat ten was for it. "I'm In favor cf removing It right now, because we will have to do It at the end of ten years at any rate. It would not affect the price of wheat a penny for the natkets of the world are on a parity right now. Take off the duty on corn, oata and live stock, too, for It will ml be long be fore we will bsve to import them. I li.ive aid this before and Jim Hill hit been preaching It to th farmer along his rail road for the taat three or four years. "As to Mr. Wilson, lie Is absolutely In correct. There waa not 143,000,000 bushel on farm on March 1. It wa nearer 100. 000,000 bushels. My information la 'Better than hla and I know what I'm talking about But don't take It from me; go to any big trader who pay out hi money for accurate Information on which to risk his capital.
