FEVERISH THE SECOND HOUR
I iieuulneNM am to the >Souelur> Con
tlitluiiM Is the Cause of
Some Selling.
New York, March 7.—Changes were mixed
at the opening of the stock market. Some of
the railroad stocks, which . have shown re
tent strength, continued to advance, -but
were inclined' to react after the opening, and
others opened lower on profit-taking.,. Amal
gamated Copper was under.pressure and fell
I*4, and American Smelting, after a frac
tional advance, fell away over a point. . The
Steel stocks were almost wholy neglected. .
Speculation was feverish and lower for the
active railroads during the second hour.
Manipulation of the tractions advanced them
l<3V/k without benefiting the general market.
Some obscure stocks were in demand, Na
tional Biscuit, Ann Arbor preferred, Rio
Grande preferred, American Ice and Wheel
ing & Lake Erie first preferred rising I@2.
Smelting was advanced l\->, Kansas & Texas
preferred 1% per cent, but the latter lost the
rise. By noon many of the leading railroads
and specialties, which were notably strong
earlier, had reacted from 1 to a points. Un
easiness as to the monetary conditions
prompted the selling.
| The stocks which advanced so strongly fell
back from 1 to 2%, the latter Tennessee Coal.
Pressed Steel Car lost 2 points. Some of the
railroads touched the lowest. price of the
day, Pennsylvania reaching 2% under last
night's prices.
The closing was dull and about steady.
Bonds were active and irregular.'

CATTLE—There were only a few loads of
cattle received fresh in yards to-day. There
was a very small percentage of killing kinds
included, and they were on the common or
der. The demand for all killing grades was
very keen at prices firm with the strong
tone of the o>ast week. Veal calves were in
very strong demand at steady prices. ' The
stocker and feeder trade was very slow on
the common kinds, while fair to good ones
sold readily at steady prices. Sales:

Waldorf gossip to Watson—The fact that
money is somewhat firmer and that the banks
have loat this week to the treasury about
$3,000,000 are considerations which give some
concern to many traders. At the same time
it is argued that the heavy operators and large
interests would not have renewed their opera
tions for the rise, as they have done in the
past days, did they not know from what
source, should the necessity present itself,
a fresh supply of capital can be obtained.
Hence sentiment continues conservatively
bullish.
New York to Andrews & Co.: The stock
market is a puzzle. Stocks look too high
and it is not easy to see how they can so
still higher, yet M» Morgan believes that
the general trend will be upward for the
next year at least. Personally 1 feel like sell
ing some of the railroads short but it is hard
to advise counter to Morgan. His hand can
be seen in the continued ease of money when
all indications seem to hinder. He evidently
does not intend either to permit tight money
or any material decline in the stock market
while his trust is in power. March is a
month when government receipts are usually
greatly in excess of expenditures. The sub
treasury is absorbing large amounts of money
every day from the local banks and it will
be a mystery if next Saturday's bank state
ment is not extremely bad.
SPECULATIVE GOSSIP
Price Current: Weather trying on wheat
crop, but doubtful if material harm done
yet. Fair movement of corn, but liberal
quantity held firmly for feeding. Farm sup
plies at least 850,000,000 bu; packing, 500,000
bu. against 350,000 bu.

Stephens, from Mcßeynolds. Chicago:
"Dake Schreiuer has a letter from Minne
apolis, Kan., that says farmers' reserves of
wheat are very small. Recent shipments
have beeu heavy to avoid taxation."
Logan, Chicago, to Jolley: 'About all the
floor traders are working the bear side; in
fact, it looks like Phillips was the buyer and
that the balance of the crowd in the pit was
on the other side."
Verhoeff, from Milmine: "Marketa all soft.
Liberal Selling of wheat by the larger com
mission houses. General selling of corn at
opening."
The Times-Herald publishes the following
from J. Ogden Armour: The firm of Armour
& Co. is operating grain warehouses, and
necessarily is more or less In and out of the
market. But 1 would like to have it made
plain, as coming from me. aside from the
part I am compelled to take in the regular
course of my business 1 am not in the wheat
trade either as buyer or seller. The role of
speculator is not to my liking, and as 1 am
not playing it, I would like to have the talk
in that direction auieted.
Broomhall cables: The opening Liverpool
declines this morning were due to a poor spot
demand, while later in the session, owing to
the little outside interest shown in the mar
ket, prices further eased off %(g\ie. Free
offerings of corn from Argentine caused the
opening decline of Vfcc to-day, as well as lafer
decline of %c.

PRAIRIE DOG NUISANCE
Poisoned Grain and Bisulphide of
Carbon Recommended,
Special to The Journal.
Brookings, S. D., March 7.—Stock and grain
farmers in the northwestern states will be
interested in a new bulletin of the United
States department of agriculture, just re
ceived at the state agricultural college here,
which gives directions ror the destruction of
prairie dogs. Keepers of fattle ranges and
cultivated ranches in all of the western states
have been troubled more or less with these
dogs. The division of biological survey of the
department, at the request of Secretary Wil
son, has made careful experiments and in its
final report says it has been learned that of
the various agents that have been used for
the destruction of prairie dogs, poisoned grain
and bisulphide of carbon are- the most effect
ual and economical. Poisoned grain is the
less expensive of the two and is most efficient
iv early spring when food is scarce. At that
season, by its proper and systematic use, SO
to HO per cent of the animals may be de
stroyed at a cost of about 10 cents per acre.
The remainder may be killed by the use of
bisulphide of carbon, the cost of which will
vary according to the number of inhabited
holes.
The greatest care should be exercised in
handling both the poisoned grain and the bi
sulphide. Bisulphide is inflammable and
highly explosive and should never be opened
in the vicinity of a light or flre. The poi
soned grain should never be placed where it
may be reached by cattle, hogs or poultry.
FOIR BABIES IN LESS THAN A YEAR
Growth of Population In X. D. Not
Attributed to Immigration Alone.
Special to The Journal.
Fargo, X. D., March ".—Xorth Dakotans
are proud of the rapid growth of the
state, but the influx of settlers is not en
tirely responsible for the increase. Eleven
months ago the wife of Thomas Graham of
Knox in Benson county, gave birth to
twins. Last week she made Mr. Graham
the happy father of more twins. Four ba
bies in less than a year is not bad, and
Mr. Graham is being congratulated.
At Bowbells fecently a wife of a new
settler gave birth to triplets, and the lit
tle ones were given presents by Immigra
tion Agent Casseday of the Soo, who used
the fact as an argument in favor of immi
gration. An unusually large number of
twins has been reported this winter, but
Mr. Crruham and his good wife seems to be
entitled to the championship so far.
GEORGE WELTOX'S ESTATE
Telephone Girl at Farg-o May Prove

Special to The Journal.
Fargo, N\ D., March 7.—There was a de
ckled sensation in Fargo last night when
it was learned that Miss Nellie Cass had
filed a petition for the probating of the
last will and testament of George H. Wel

Welton left a widow, an aged woman, who
