THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL,; SATURDAY, MARCH 2, 1901. 7 M A !Ä M M I I T) WftTiDtlftl I ...$ '-AA M m mm THE TRUST COMPANY COME TO STAY "Into the wide field of trust?." In the language of the' editor of the Surrogate of New York, "wherever exactitude, intelli gence, conservatism and permanency are the things needful, the trust company has come, and has come to stay. Man) people Hill be slow to comprehend how an artifi cial entity can be adapted to such delicate functions, and it may take time to edu cate them up to it. .Hut for ourselves, it would not surprise us to see the trust company succeed to the individual execu tor and trustee as surety, and steadily as the insurance company has replaced the underwriter or the indemnity company the surety." The Union Trust Co., of Indianapolis, executes all trusts of courts, corporations or Individuals at moderate charges. It has, all things considered, great advan tages over the individual trustee. Perbons contemplating making wills or trusts will do well to consult this company. OFFICES Nos. 118 and 122 (Company's Building) East Market Street OFFICERS: HENRY EITEL,, resident. JOHN II.

March 1. Irregularity marked the course of the ;rain markets to-day, the heaviness of wheat forming a contrast with the corn strength jnd the sympathetic firm ness of oats. Coijn closed Uc and oats a shade higher, wlile wheat showed a net decline of jc i'or the day. Provisions also were Irregular, closing 2Vitf5c lower to 5c higher. A strong market far corn existed through out the session ard tie volume of business transacted reached an imposing total. Speculative Interest was centered in this market and the pit was congested by an Influx of speculators attracted" from other parts of the floor by the activity of the play. Commission houses operated heavily, but the pressure was nicely balanced gen erally, and it retrained for the prominent operators to mate or break prices. Ex cepting an Englfh estimate making the Argentine export .ble surplus 72,000,000 bu, there was little news, leaving the market still the toy of sentiment, pure and simple. May opened unchanged to c higher, at 4o"c to 41ic. SI'.orts became alarmed at the strong character of the buying and covered, forcing , the market up to 41c. The wheat weakness proved influential on the advance, and' some corn bought earlier was unloaded, M y dropping back to 41Vic, resisting stubbornly. The close was firm at that price, Jjver yesterday. Local re ceipts were 2S0 cars, two of contract grade. Under the influence of light Northwest receipts, a decrerve in Argentine shipments last week and tl steadinss of cables May wheat opened a shade higher, at 75?bC to 7Gc. and sold to a limited extent at TGTOUc Heavy pressure v,as brought to bear on the market, and Mat dropped to TäTi-OTöc, some long wheat ocming out on the decline. The aggressive strength of corn caused covering by shorts, under which May ral lied to öTsUTbc. iJersi?tent selling by a big long and the lack: of outside encouragement caused renewed heaviness and the market during the afternoon broke to ä'ä'uTSc. On the dip shorts took profits and the mar ket reacted to 75::vi75!ic and closed at that price, i'ic lower and rather heavy in tone. - Export bu:tness was reported dull. Seaboard clearances in wheat and Hour were equal to 37L.O0 bu, while primary re ceipts aggregated 476,000 bu, compared with 52S.OOU bu last year. Minneapolis and Du luth reported HU cars, against 541 a year ago. Chicago receipts were twenty-five cars, two ot contract grade. Argentine shipments were J4.000 bu last week. SOJ.OOO bu less than th.f previous week and more than 2.0'At,H)U bu under last year's corre sponding week. Oats were a dull and local market, but the tone was firm, in sympathy with corn. May sold betwten .ic and and closed a shade higher,, at 2ö,2!Üc. Keceipts were 1:03 cars. In the provisions market lard and ribs were fairly active, but pork was generally neglected, thougty comparatively firm. Out side packers were liberal sellers of lard and ribs and prices suffered in consequence. May pork sold between J13.97U and ?14.072 and closed 5c higher, at 14.07; May lard between 57.43 arm $7.37,,2'5i7.40, closing 24ft5c down, at 47.40. ard May ribs between J7 and tC'j.VaQ.'jl, with the closed 2yc depressed, at $7.

White law Held pave his second lecture before Yale students last night. He said most of the libel suits brought are unjust. "People who have character to protect." he said, "resort too rarely to the law against libel, but those whose character could hardly be Injured are the first, under the guidance of lawyers looking for their pay to a share in the verdict, to institute libel suits as a means of speculating on inadvertent errors. Unhappily, the curious state of the law and the lingering effect of old decisions that ill tit modern conditions combine to promote this unfortunate reversal of what every Jurist and every good citizen has at heart. It is the rule of 'compensatory damages' that makts the law which honest men hesi tate to use In their own just defense a per fect fountain of speculation for men who have no character t lose, to shrinking from disagreeable surroundings, and. con sequently, no reluctance to enter the courts on an lll-odirel quest for cash." The speaker gave instances where slight errors h.nl b en taken advantage of by per son who were guilty In worse ways. Iii continued: "Without questioning in the least the learning or the uprightness of many Judges who are still apt t hold dif ferently, 1 venture to point out that a rea sonable liberality as to the ndmlsslon of evidence about general character in the case f Inadvertent and unimportant inac curacies would bo In tho interest of the hupest press and of tho community."

Pressure was relaxed against the steel stocks in yesterday's market, and they scored unequal recoveries. Probably this had as much to do with the better tone of the stock market as anything that could be cited. National Tube was the most affect ed, with a rally of IVz, and Steel and Wire is about 2 points higher. Other members of the group gained between 1 and 2 points. There was a marked decline of speculative interest in this department of the stock mar ket incident to the completion of the process of adjustment of the conditions disclosed earlier in the week, ot the steel merger. The realizing in St. Paul on the stock priv ileges carried it down a point, but it was well supported at that level and later scored a full recovery. After the turn in the market had set in there were large buying movements developed in a number of individual stocks cr allied groups of rtoeks. This was most notable among the Gould Southwesterns, including Missouri Pacllic, the St. Louis Southwesterns, the Missouri, Kansas fc Texas stocks and the Wabash issues. The extreme advances here ran from 1 to 23, the latter in Mlssouii Pacific, and 2 in St. Louis Southwestern preferred. The movement was appar4ntl baseil on the large earnings which are be ing reported by the railroads in that re gion. There was another pronounced move ment in the roads which carry bltuminoua coal to tidewater. Pennsylvania, the Balti more & Ohio stocks, Chesapeake & Ohio and Norfolk & Western were all largely bought and were sharply lifted by this de mand. Burlington, Kock Island and the Chicago Great Western stocks enjoyed a period of strength, and the gas group People's, Consolidated and Brooklyn Union were advanced in concert. There was active demand for Sugar all day, at an ex treme advance of 4U- There were, in addi tion, good gains made by a number of stocks not usually prominent In the trading. :uch as the American Linseed Oil stocks, International Power, the Cleveland, Lorain & Wheeling stocks, the Toledo, St. Louis & Western stocks, Evansvllle & Terre Haute, the Chicago Terminal Transfer stocks and Texas Land Trust, in which the advances ranged from 1 to 4 points. Notwithstand ing the advantage of this very considerable show of strength in special stocks tho condition of the general market remained quite apathetic, and moved only sluggishly upward in sympathy with the general mar ket. In spite of the late upward movement in Southern Hallway stocks, on a large demand, the close was barely steady. The continued easy money market detracts from any apprehension over to-day's bank statement, which Is expected to show a decline in cash reserve, owing to the ab sorption of over J,0Oü,0Üö by the subtreas ury this week. Th bond market was moderately active and irregular. Total sales were $3,315,0)0. United States refunding twos, coupon, ad vanced Is per cent, on the last call.

Weather conditions yesterday were hardly iuch as to give snap to business, and In but few lines was there any activity calling lor com ment. As for two years past, the wholesale grocers' have enjoyed an almost continuous run of good business. The iron and hardware houses have been quite busy of late, and the same re mark will apply to the drug houses. Paint and oils are beginning to move free.y. The mil linery houses, the bot and t-hoe merchant and dry goods mea are ail looking for au increase In trade as scon as the un gets out and gives evidence that spring Is at hand. On Commis sion row the mild weather maue It ta.fe to ahdp fruits and vegetables, and the merchants had a fairly busy day. While during the last few days trade has not been iuite up to expectations, so promising is the outlook for a goou spring trade that no teriou: complaint is heard.

The marketinj of cattle was not lib eral, but ample to meet all the requirements of the demand so far as steers were con cerned. There Is a continued limited In quiry from local killers, and orders are not sufficiently urgent to make active compe tition; therefore it was with great dif ficulty that salesmen transferred their con signments, and, If any different, prices vore less satisfactory, than yesterday. The market for stockera and feeders was rea sonably active and fully steady prices prevailed. There Is a continued good de mand for female cattle of all kinds, and the supply was exhausted early at firm prices.
