Minneapolis Chamber of Conimeiee, April 27.
The hopelessness of the bull situation in wheat
at the present time was shown again this mor
ning when Chicago May wheat fell to 86%c.
Isearccly a man. however bearish, thought any
uch figure would be reached, but it was reached.
At the sntre time Minneapolis May went down to
2%e, and Minneapolis July to 90%c. It is a
condition In which ordinary price influences count
for naught. The great downwaid swing is still
one. Sometime the low point will be reached and
the market 111 make the turn, but to try to say
when this will be would be to guess. Minneap
olis July wheat at 90o would probably be low
enough. When July comes No 1 northern wheat
will be worth around 00c. in the opinion of
many good judges To sav that it will not go
below 80c. however, would be rasb. The tiling
is on. It has got to spend itielf. This mor
ning men who watch the Chicago pit closely said
thta beyond doubt the last of the holdings of
long May wheat had gone overboard. This was
said before when it was above 90c. Taking $1 14
as the point from which the big decline may
/really be said to have begun, and Chicago May
I was lown this morning 27He This would seem
I to be enough, and it would seem that there
1 could not possibly be any more big priced wheat
held, but if one Is trying to figure out whether
or not the low point has been reached these con
siderations above are not sufficient. When a
market goes up there are alwavs many specu
lators who try to pick the high point, to go
short. So long as a number continue going short
and the general sentiment warrants it, bull ma
nipulators can continually drive in those shorts
and make new high points Of course, there
comes a time when high point is made, but he
is a shrewd one indeed who knows it at that
time. Just so on a declining market. Time
comes when prices are low enough legitimately.
Numbers of traders, large and small, are watch
ing to buj when they think low point has been
made. Meanwhile, if general confidence in high
prices has been shaken opportunity favors the
Dear manipulator. The many take on a little
i wheat because it is low enough and ought to
i lally. A heavy drive at the market loosens up
this wheat nnd with general timidity character
izing the trade. Belling out follows This is the
situation In all probability the old holllngs of
long wheat have been Bold ont entirely and a
good part of the short wheat sold above a dollar
has been taken in. The thing to do wonll be to
buy wheat, but if one buys it he must figure
against the probability of successive drives
against it. Hence the situation is very uncertain
and while wheat really should not go any lower
at least for the present, there Is no assurance
that It will not decline 5c to 10c more before
the downward swing is over.

A sale of patent flour was made today for
export. This was the first business of the sort
for months, except for the occasional small
bales that were made when things were clearly
out of liae that did not mean anything more
than determination to have a particular brand.
Today's business was of the legitimate sort. It
Indicates that things are getting back to nor

There is said to be a Chinese-Jewish colony in
Yang-t9e-Kiang valley In Cbina. This colony
has existed since 200 years before the Christian
era. Its people have a synagogue in which
they attend worship, extiact the sinews from
ttesn belore eating it, erect tablets to Moses and
Abraham, and are called by some "bluecapped
Mohanmedans," because of their blue head
dress.
'ihe two sides of a person's face are never
alike. The eyes are out of line in two cases
out of live, and one eye is stronger than the
other in seven persons out of ten. The right
ear is also, as a rule, higher than the left.
Only one person in fifteen has perfect eyes, the
largest percentage of defects prevailing among
fall-Laired people.

before adequate steps are taken to harness
some ot the practically unlimited tidewater pow

Originally 100,000 bronae medals were struck
by the British for distribution to soldiers who
took part In the South African war. Some one

CHICAGO GRAIN
MAY WHEAT BREAKS MORE THAN 4 CENTS
ON THE OPENING.
Chicago, April 27.Wheat for May delivery
sold here today at 87e a bushel, a break of
4%c from last night's closing quotations. The
slump was due to renewed liquidation by scat
tered inteiests. Influenced by a sharp decline
at Liverpool, the market here opened weak, with
May off l%c to S^ at 88%c to 90c. July was.
down %c to %c at 82%e to 83c. The weak
ness of the future delivery was partially due
to excellent crop conditions in America. Soon
after the opening the price of May dropped to
87c. A rebound to 89c was followed by another
reaction to 88c. The July option showed a lit
tle improvement on covering by shorts, the
price advancing to 88%@83%e. Minneapolis.
Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 173
cars, against 1SS last week and 73 a year ago.
On fresh profit-taking the price of May
dropped to S6%c, but a quick rally to 8Sc soon
occurred on buying by shorts. During the le
mainder of the session the market for the May
option vi as comparatively steady. Increased
selling of July sent the price of that delivery
down to 82%@82%c, from which point a sub
stantial rally was made late in the session,
the price advancing to 83%c on covering. The
close T\as quite firm. July was off %c at 83c
and May 23%c at 88c.

Sentiment in the corn pit was bearish, partly
in sympathy with the weakness of wheat and
partly as a result of lower prices at Liverpool.
Offerings were liberal and the market lacked any
market support. July opened %c to %c lower
at 45%c to 45%c, but rallied somewhat en
scattered buying, the price advancing to 4662
46%c. Local receipts were 74 cars, with 4 of

THE IRON MARKET
REPORT OF WEAKENING PIG IRON MAR.
KE CANNOT BE. TRACED.
New Yoik, April 27.While the tonnage of
orders on the books of the steel corporation, be
ing 5,600,000 tons, exced the record considerably,
it must be taken into account, says the Iron
Age. that the capacity is greater thru the ac
quisition of Union and Clairton. The plants are
running to the utmost now. the American Bridge
company, which lagged until the last few weeks,
having had a rush of specifications and orders.
Nearly all the constituent are operating to 95
per cent of their capacity.
A number of reports are afloat which represent
the pig-Iron markets as weakening, but specific
instances cannot be traced. Comparatively little
has been done in any of the distributing mar
kets except Chicago, where there has been a
fair volume of sales of foundry iron, malleable
and pig.
Ami of the geological survey, says an Ot
tawa dispatch, believes that diamonds are bidden
In that par of Canada between the great lakes
and Hdufron bay. and he warns surveying parties
and explorers to be on the lookout for anything
that will show traces of diamonds-in that terri-

The indifference of the demand on any recov
ery in prices was shown by the quick subsidence
of the buying on occasional rallies. Prices of the
leaders did not get lower than during the first
hour, but wide declines were made at new points
among the specialties. Smelting was forced down
2%, Railway Steel Spring preferred 2% and
Republic Steel preferred 2%. Louisville & Nash
ville lost 3%, Canadian Pacific 2%, St. Paul and
Erie 2%, Chesapeake & Ohio and Chicago Great
Western preferred 1%, anl Atlantic Coast Line,
Southern Railway, Ontario & Western, Consoli
dated Gas, Tennessee Coal, Pressed Steel Car
and some others between 1% and 2. After a
rally of 1% In Smelting, 1% in Tennessee and
1 in Norfolk & Western the market was dull and
soft tnd yleldedw suddenly to the lowest at noon.
Bonds were heavy at noon.
Liquidating sales overwhelmed the market
after 12 o'clock and values faded rapidly, Enor
mous Feles of the high-priced standard railroad
stocks contributed to the pessimism among the
traders and there was a liberal outpouring of
speculative favorites. The southern group, New
York Central, St. Paul, Union Pacific, Norfolk
& Western and Tennessee Coal seemed at times
to be wholly without support. Nashville, Chat
tanooga & St. Louis dropped 4%, Louisville &
Nashville 4%, Tennessee Coal 4%, Atlantic Coast
Line 3%, Union Pacific 3%, Norfolk & Western
3 anl New York Central and Brooklyn Transit
2%. Fitful rallies of a point or so In special
stocks were not held.
The market failed to show the expected demand
from the bears in the final hour as a result of
the short selling luring the day and prices broke
with renewed violence. Losses generally extend
ed from 2 to 4 points. Great Northern pre
ferred lost 16, Louisville & Nashville 6%, Union
Pacific 5%, Noithern Paclflc, Nashville, Chatta
nooga & St. Louis, Wheeling & Lake Erie first
preferred, Locomotive and Pittsburg, Cincinnati
Chicago & St. Louis 5, Atlantic Coast Line 4%,
St. Paul and New York Central 4%, Canadian
Pacific 4%, while the losses running from 3 to 4
points included the great Pacifies, trunk lines,
coalers, southern and southwestern railroad stocks
anl the most prominent Industrials. There was
some covering by romo shorts before the close,
but the resulting rallies were not held. The
closing was semidemorallxed.
The market was given only a short rest be
fore prices took another downward plunge,
widely extending the previous declines. Most
of the active stocks were brought within the
range of 2 point losses. ^Missouri Pacific and
Canadian Pacific dropped 4, Great Northern pre
ferred 6, Union Pacific, New- York Central, Ches
apeake & Ohio, St Paul. Brooklyn Transit, the
Metropolitan' stocks. Locomotive and General
Electric 3 to 3%, Soutnern' Pacific 2%, United

MISCELLANEOUS
NEW YORK COTTON, April 27.The cotton
market opened easy at an advance of 2 points
on May owing to rather better cables than ex
pected, but generally unchanged to 3 points
lower under bear pressure encouraged by good
weather south and private reports of a very
small acreage reduction in Georgia and Alabama.
Following the call, May was relatively weak
under scattering liquidation in preparation lor
notice day tomorrow. After selling off 4 rr
5 points, however, the market was rallied by
covering to a net gain of 2 to 5 points, after
which it was moderately active and steady.
