Trade DullThe Visible Supply
Makes a Good Sized
Decrease.
Wheat Beginning1
to Work East
in Quantity from the
Lake Stocks.
Kansas Winter Wheat Acreage
Cut Down by About Ten
Per Cent.
Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, April 23.
The weather, the early cables and the move
ment of wheat for the first day of the week
were all against the price. The bears could not
at first use the items for much effect, because
of au offset in the local.situation and a bullish
statistical report from Kansas. The market
hesitated and the pit fell into a waiting mood
pending receipt of the visible supply. The shift
ing about of the big northwestern stocks has
begun. Wheat is going out of Duluth for the
east, and Minneapolis stocks are falling off
gradually with 200,000 bu decrease shown for
two days. Up at Fort William and Port Ar
thur, where there has been steady accumulation
all winter, 1,122,694 bu were loaded out last
week, which brings the total down to 8,108,449.
This is still well above last year, when 7,351,715
bu was in this western Canadian lake storage OD
corresponding date. The local posting showed
896 cars received against only 166 a year ago.
Duluth got 41 against 7, Chicago only 4 against
121 and Winnipeg 212 against 70. St. Louis
had 40,000 bu compared with 64 000 and the
Kansas City figures were 75,000 "against 37,000.
The strengthening feature of the news was the
Kansas state report. It makes the present con
dition in that state 89.5, or 4.5 higher than the
governmental report for April, but finds that
almost 10 per cent, or 491,000 acres, has been
abandoned, leaving the total area 5,810,000 acres.
Cash wheat was in fair demand locallv. but
showed less snap than last week. No. 1 north
sold at 2@2%c over May.
Foreign news was significant for the weaker
markets abroad, none declining heavily, but
all showing a little loss, altho Liverpool
strengthened after a weak opening and closed
better than expected from first advices. World's
shipments were 9,256,000 bu against 9,360,000
a week ago and 8,288,000 a year ago. The
quantity afloat at 49,944,000 bu shows a de
crease of 648,000 bu.
Primary receipts, 559,000 bu against 478,000.
Clearances, 271,000 bu.
There was a telegram from conservative people
in Kansas City regarding Kansas state report
on wheat: "State report gives about 10 per
cent plowed up, which probably is correct. This
leaves about 5,300,000 acres, which under favor
able conditions should yield 90,000,000 to 95,000,-
000 bu."
Omaha advices say that winter wheat is in
line condition in Nebraska, the acreage about the
same as last year, not over 15 per cent of win
ter wheat left in farmers' hands. Very little
corn held by shippers, possibly 50 per cent of
corn back in farmers* hands. Says there will be
little movement of corn for a week or ten days
end then It will be over until after corn plant
ing. Oats seeding practically completed in Ne-
There was a Budapest cable here saying the
wheat market was advancing on drought.
The market feU off towards the close and was
weak and lower, but rallied again at the end.

New York, April 23.The prevailing tone of
the stock market today was heavy, but the de
clines were generally narrow and were mixed
\.ith a few gains. Some of the stocks with large
property interests in San Francisco rebounded
sharply from recent depression. United Rail
ways Investment rose 4% and Pacific Coast 3.
Notable declines were Anaconda 2% and Reading
and Colorado Fuel large fractions. The trad
ing was quiet and transactions small.

which only a moderate demand was offered.

dropped 1%. There were losses of 1 or more
by Amalgamated Copper and some minor indus
trials. Wisconsin Central preferred rose 1%
and Colorado Fuel preferred 5. At slight re
coveries the market became semistagnant. Bonds
were heavy at noon.
Selling orders came from all quarters and
there were further material declines which put
the average of prices down a point or more.
Reading, the transcontinental group and the
metal and railroad equipment stocks were the
weakest features. Pennsylvania, Union Pacific,

The market is at Saturday nighfs close. The

both shafts of the Calumet & Pittsburg is
rapidly decreasing, and I now looks as If the
new pumps would not be needed. At any rate,
with the Installation of the new pumps in the
Briggs and Junction _'Shafts, It Is certain that
any possible flow of water will be easily taken
care of.
The stock certificates of Butte Coalition will

ONE WEEK FOE HONEYMOON
matter-of-fact bureau of navigation in
Washington wrote across the applica
tion: "Three weeks' leave of absence
hereby granted."
The friends of the naval officer ex-
fwo
tected that he would obtain at least
months, so that he might have a
long honeymoon trip.
I have heard of all conditions of
courtship and marriage among naval of
ficers," one of the friends said today,
"but I never knew that the exigencies
of the service were such as to tear a
bridegroom away from his wife in a
week's time. Commander Gibbons
doesn't mind the 6,000-mile trip from
London and back, but I do not think
he relishes the idea of being here only
a week after his wedding. He is too
loyal an officer to make any protest,
however.''
Miss Ely, the bride-to-be, is a sister
of Richard F. Ely. and a daughter of
the late Bichard S. Ely of this city.
The young woman's brother is a gradu
ate of Yale '97.

Naval Bridegroom, Commander Gib

New York World.
Given one week to# cross the ocean
that he may get married, one week for
the honeymoon and one week to get
back to his station in London is the un
usual lot of Commander John H. Gib
bons, U.S.N., who is a passenger on the
White Star liner Celtic, due here from
Liverpool.
Commander Gibbons is the United
States naval attache at the Court of St.
James, and his duties there are such
as to preclude the navy department
from granting him a longer time than
three weeks for his wedding.
The navy department hasn't any sen
timent ana it doesn't bother over the
love affairs of even a good officer like
Commander Gibbons. So when the
naval attache asked for a leave of ab- steers, $34.75 and heifers, $2^3.90.

Larry was showing to a friend the
"check" which the Chinese laundry
man had given him in exchange for his
bundle of soiled linen.
"Fwhat d'ye suppose it isf" ha
asked.
"That's for identification,'' said his
friend, "so that the Chinaman can rec
ognize you when you call for your
clothes. It's a brief description of how
you look, BO there can't be anywhere

"I'm going back to smash the
