GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKET i
Bulls Seem to Lose Art of Manipu
lating Market.
MUqj CORN BEING IMPORTED
Yellotr Cerent from Sonthern Hem
isphere In Steadily Flndlntr ltn
Wr Into the llni'icl of
American Consumers,
OMAHA. April H.-19U.
The bulls In the varlqus grains, led by
those In corn, seem to have lost heart.
Scattered Interests which have given the
hull side of the various cereals' consid
erable attention as well as support of
late were not In evidence yesterday, even
on the declining sales, which carried
lrlccs off sharply. Corn was the weak
est spot of the list and ll snowed net
losses of Ui01Hc May wheat was off
only a shade, while the more deferred
months were io lower.
It Is well known that May wheat Is
owned by some strong peoplo In the
trade, and that the likelihood Is that
lrlces will advance that future sooner
or later. Oats were off ltteiVac and,
not unlike corn, closed around tlio bottom.,
The southern hemisphere corn Is being
placed In goodly quantities In the cast
and at prices considerably below thoso
at which the western grain can bo bought.
A leading man In the grain trade here
in speaking of pressure on the cam now
coming forward from the southern hem
isphere said growers there are. obliged to
dispose of their grain .because of extreme
money stringency prevailing in that coun
try. ,
Weather throughout the corn belt Is
favorable for farm work, and movement
is likely to bo small. . ,
Kansas City reported a dull market
for cash corn yesterday and sales here
were confined to 75,000 bu.
Not to be outdone by corn the longs
In wheat were free sellers and prices,
ihowed net losses of HSTic ... .
The1 visible supply of wheat Is Un
S.000.000 bu. of that of a year ago. fol
lowing a decrease of 1,061.000 bu. for the
woek and the crop outlook was never as
promising as It Is at the moment.
May oats were particularly weak and
resting spots for the day showed net
&.e"all Paround. The vl.tb e supply de
creased 474,000 bu. and Chicago stocus
decreased over 400.000 bu. -nri
The strength In hogs at the y naa
some support for May ribs and Urd
which was believed to come from pack
ers, were the helps for the ,PJ,0Vhs0w
market yesterday. Part of the list, how
ever, was lower at the close.
Cash wheat was unchanged.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND TllOVISIONS

CHICAGO, April U.-TIghtncsa became
ncute today in the May delivery of wheat.
Offerings were so scarce that shorts who
wished tp cover had to bid Prices up
with such vigor as to effect the entire
market. The result was a strong close
at i to 74 net advance. Corn finished
the same- as last night to higher,
oats unchanged to ft oir, ana w iu.wnv
ble Buropean crop reports gave way
speedily, and the upward tendency there
after had no serious check In the over
sold condition of the" market, prices were
sensitive to talk about Hessian fly In
Northwestern Missouri. Northeastern
Kansas and Southern Illinois. Some no
tice was also taken of reports of the
widespread presence of green bugs In
Kahas counties adjoining Oklahoma.
Additional force to bullish sentiment
came from a big decrease In the world's
available stock. On the other hand there
was a good deal ot surprise over sud
denly enlarged arrivals at Winnipeg.
The number of cars reported as having
reached the Canadian terminal for the
last twenty-four hours was COO, a huge
total for this time ot tho year..
Active purchasing on the part ot bull
leaders. proved. successful flnafly In over
coming the effect of heavy liquidation
sales from 'miscellaneous holders. It
was-noticed that Argentine dealers were
.attempting to -combine to bring about
higher prices. There were also advices
ot rain In Argentina, unfavorable for
late "harvesting and for the movement of.
the crop. Oats severed company with
corn owing to. the Ideal weather and be
,'cuuis'of liberal shipments from Minne
apolis to Chicago.
Provisions sagged late in tho day un
der selling credited to packers. The
strength in corn, however, and the tight
ness of srheat led to some covering by
shorts.

NEW YORK, April 14.-Pronounccd
weakness developed In the slock market
today, with u largely. Increased volume
of trading. Stocks of nil clascs gave
way, and there were numerous declines
of one to two points, with larger lotees
In oxceptlonal eases. Not only was pro
fessional selling heavy, but It was evi
dent that for tho rirst time In several
weeks liquidation on a considerable scale
was In progress. . The decline was In
fluenced by the serious turn In the Mexi
can situation.
It has been apparent for the last week
that selling was more effective and tho
market had lert tlio underlying rirniness
which was noticeable during the pre
ceding month. Tho recent slow decllno
encouraged more selling by professions,
and when It liecame evident today that
conditions favored a bear assault it was
delivered with telling effect, steel was
again the stock on wnlch pressure con
verged. It was unusually active and fell
nearly to thtf year's low point.
Houses with Washington connections
early In the day received advices re
garding the Mexican problem which, as
they wcro circulated in the street, pro
vided the basts for effective short sell
ing. Another blow to the bulls was the
announcement of the Interstate Com
mcreo commission indicating that tho
freight rates decision would not bo
reached as quickly as had been looked
for recently. Expectntlona that tho ad
vance would be granted and that this
action would be taken speedily have been
perhaps the chief factors In holding up
the market during the last few weeks, In
the face of discouraging news regarding
general business conditions. Still another
factor on tho bear side today was selling
here for foreltrn account. l.ondon boueht
Amalgamated and Canadian Pacific, but
soia oilier stocKs, disposing of 15,000
shares or more on balance.
The decline continued without. Imnnr.
timt Interruption throughout the nesslon.
When, tho news came In the last hour
that the Atlantic fleet had been ordered
to TamPlco. sumjortlnir orders were
rushed In to prevent a bad break and
the market rallied slightly. Tlio recovery
did not hold, however, and tho close was
not far from the day's low prices.
Bonds lacked support. Heaviness wan
moST pronounced In traction nnd other
low priced Issues.- Total sales, par value,
$2,500,000. Panama 3s, registered, declined
on call.
Number of sales and lead ne quotations
on stocks were as follows:

ported only a shade advance and al
though the first bids were no better than
steady nothing much sold on this basis,
so that when the bulk of the supply
moved the general market looked to be ts.
shade higher than yesterday. Prices were
rtther uneven and some -sales were quoted
as no better than steady, while others
looked as much as So higher, but the
average market la about V4c better than
Monday. Trade could hardly" have been
called active at any time, but the mod
erate receipts were cleared In good sea
spread of $S.OOJJ.70. and tops reached
$it.724, being just 3Hc below the hlch
mark for tne year. Today's top Is the
highest that has been paid since March 21,
nnd the average ot all the vales is th
highest of any day this year.
Supplies amounted to something like 131
cars, or R.M0 head, bringing the total re
ceipts for the two days up to 13,415, This
is 4,500 short of a week a.to, and more
than 9,000 smaller than for the correspond

William Loeb, jr., former collector of
Uie port of New York, who Is now the
manager for tho Guggenheim Interests,
told about a case in whloh government
mi tape acpnvea n boy of a toe. If
mere is one tiling more than another
which Mr. Loeb despises In public Itfo it
Is rod tape which Interferes with business.
"During my work In Washington," said
Mr. Loeb, "I saw some examples of red
tnpo which would try the patience of any
ono familiar with business methods of
the modern day. This sort of official
annoyance practically has been banished
from the service in Washington, and to
prevent any misconception. I want tn add
that efficiency and up-to-date business
methods are the rule In every department
now.
"I heard about one example of the old
order of things which lingers In my mem
ory. It occurred during tho period when
John W. Noble was secretary of the in
terior. I' do not believe the secretary
was responsible for It. 'At any rate, I
suppose the papers In the case are still
on file In the rocords of that department
and may furnish verification of what I
consider the most remarkable piece of
official red tope I have ever known.
"A pupil In the Teller Institute, Qrand
Junction, Colo., named Richard Morse, a
Navajo Indian, was the victim. When
the boy arrived at the school It was
found he had six toes on one foot, a
condition which precluded the possibility
of his wearing the regulation government
shoe,
"Superintendent Record of the institute
ordered a special pair of shoes made for
the boy and sent the bill for them, with
other vouchers, to the department for
payment. Some member of Secretary
Noble's staff refused to pass the item,
and wrote to the superintendent suggest
ing that he would have to pay the
amount himself. Record paid the bill
1 rum ms own pochci. uui wncn ino POy m
needed a second pair of shoes ho again
called the attention of tho department!1"
to the subject Several telegrams were 7..
then exchanged between the Department 1 20. !
of tho interior and the superintendent')
concerning the disposal to bo mode of
the boy's toe. This was the first;
GRAND JUNCTION. Colo.-Hon. Secre
tary Interior. Washington; Indian boy
here with six toes. Can't possibly wear
government shoes. AVhat shall I do?
"In (the name of the secretary some
member of his staff sent this reply:
WASHINGTON Superintendent Teller
Institute. Grand Junction. Colo.: Off with
his toe. NOHLE,
Secretary Interior.
"Then these dispatches were exchanged.

"Such things do not occur In these
days," said Mr. Loeb In conclusion New

CATTLE There was another fair run
of cattle today, making the total for the
two days 8.138 head, being larger than
for the same priod last week, but about
on a per with two weeks ago. As com
pared with a year ago the receipts thus
far thin week show a falling oft ot about
2,000 head.
Buyers started out this morning In very
mucn the same way as yesterday, that
Is. picking up the Uchter cattle, such' as
looked good in their oyes. and for which
they paid prices generally steady with
yesterday. On the other hand the heavier
cattle and the medium grades generally
were alow to 10c lower.
The right desirable heifers were In
pretty fair demand at steady prices, but
other grades were slow to as much as
lOo lower In some cases.
There were only a few stockers and
feeders In the yards and they did not
show very much change.

Key to the Situation ae ,-vtTvertlalng
A Revelation.
"There Is a lot of bluff about the high
rates paid by the magazines. Magazine
writers support this bluff In the hope
that then, eventually, high rates will be
paid them. But occasionally they become
frank, and then we arrive at startling
revelations."
The speaker was a well-known literary
statistician. He continued:
"I was walking on Broadway the other
day with the popular magazine writer,
Blanc. Blanc seemed distraught. Among
the fine shops and the pretty women and
the splendid motors he mooned along In
a dream.
" 'Blanc,' said I, 'a penny for your
thoughts"
"Blam. started, then smiled cynically.
' Well, I don't know,' he said, 'I've
had worse offers from the magazines.,

HOGS The market opened out in fairly
satisfactory shape this morning. Receipts
were moderate, btit other markets re-
George A. Olney pf Brooklyn, ald to
be the oldest traveling salesman In the
United States In point ot service, has de
cided to retire at the ago of 79 yean.
For fifty-eight years he has been In
continuous service. He has not art-
nounccd any plans for whlllng away his
remaining years, but It Is hoped ho may
write his reminiscences. No vocation has
been Influenced more by the changes of
tho last half century than that of the
commercial traveler. The drummer of
early tradition was pre-eminently a Jol
Her. His chief qualification was ability
as a "mixer." His pockets bulged with
cigars and ah Invitation to "have some
thing" was ever on his lips. Nor wa
this Invitation often refused. Thei pioneer
drummer was also a story teller, His
collection of "new ones" brightened every
rural store and village hotel. His opinion
on -matters of national Import was highly
esteemed. His Judgment as to the results
of a coming election was likewise prized
and many an election bet was based on
his "tip." His varied social accomplish.
ments were his capital and were responsi
ble for the liberality of tho orders he
procured. And to the merchant the drum
mer was not a representative of a house;
he was the whole establishment.
But these conditions have (.'hanged very
much, The traveling salesman now must
talk goods and prices. He must be alert,
for he deals with merchants who keep In
close touch -with the markets. Wtjlle
courtesy Is still a valuable asset, as It
will eyer be. It Is not sufficient by Itself.
The merchant Is not looking for good
humor, for good stories, for good cigars
or for drinks, hut for merchandise on
which he may make a quick and certain
profit, And the down-to-date traveling
salesman measure up to the new re
quirements. Whit he Is often. In his
opinion, hampered by his house and hs
Judgment on extension of credits Is not
final, ho still wields a powerful Influ
ence. The house scarcely reatlzes how
much his personality counts with the cus
tomer. By a tact that Is nothing short
of marvelous he causes the customer to
look upon him as his true friend, always
ready to fight his battles with the house,
Nor has his old prestige disappeared. His
views of men and of measures are still
respected and his ability to take rare of
himself In any argument Is a matter of
proverb. And he Is a loyal booster for
the city out of which he travels. Often
the praises of rival cities are pressed by
customers, sometimes through perversity
of hUlnan nature and sometimes merely
to arouse him to defense, but there is no
case on record where he ever conceded
superiority to a rival town. With hi long
and varied experience Mr. Olney covld
write a Story of absorbing Interest tvbout
the prince ot hustling optimists, (he trav
eling salesman. SI. LouU Globe-Demo,

Ohio Is now face to thte with a mrfst
distressing outgrowth of her lll-dlgested
employers' liability and workmen's com
pensation, laws. The lluckeye state to
day Is placed In the position of encour
aging speculation 1h blood money. While
this encouragement of vicious practices
Is bad enough, mornlly. yet ove'n worse
Is the position Into which the state has
boon forced Just recently, In other words',
that of driving legitimate, flourishing in
dustries absolutely out of'btifiness within
her bounds.
Hitch a condition of state affairs ts In
tolerable and calls for vigorous action
upon 'the part -of thq state administration,
Strong "protest Is being offered by a num
ber of Industrial nnd commercial con
cerns to tho present anomalous situa
tion, but expected co-operation upon the
part of the state authorities does not ap
pear to bo coming forward quickly arid
frankly.
When the Green law, os a bit ot lia
bility legislation In Ohio Is known, be
comes compulsory upon all employers of
tho state on January 1, It will then be
Impoislble for Ohio concerns to secure
brotectlon ngalnst cxtinsslve damago
claims through the-medium of private
liability companies. Only state lnsur
nncf can be obtained, refusal to take
under It bringing In Its train oppressive
resttctlons as td legal defenses In Per
sonal Injury suits which are Intolerable,
practically confiscatory In their applica
tion. A recent decision by a federal court
at Cleveland In a damago suit brought
against tho Standard Boiler and Plato
Iron company pfNllcs,' O., brought to, a
crisis the threatening dangcra to Indus
trial concerns under existing liability
laws, with more oppressive dangers to
come. Previous argument before legisla
tive committees at Columbus while this
legislation was In the making had no ef
fect. Now It Is hoped to prevail upon
Governor Cox to Include liability legis
lation In hta expected call fqr special
eetslon of the legislature which Is. to bo
held for the purpose ot undoing- some ot
the unwise enactments of the last regu
lar session.
In tho meantime state compensation 1
working out to thn end that relatives ot
deceased persons who met death through
accident while In performance ot duty
get double compensation tor their deaths.
J"or Instance, at Youngstown suit nits
Just been entered for damages for acci
dental death, although slate compensa
tion, somo several thousand dollars, was
lonir since awarded the ramuy mo
loopholo for oppression Is thua left wldo
open. '
