1 Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, April 28,
I Haluy weather was an influence in wheat today.
It was bear weather southwest, for rain was
I falling this morning in Nebraska, with the storm
1 moving eastward, and there was rain at North
Platte, with conditions suggestive of a later
I fall over Kansas and Oklahoma. This would bo
fine for winter wheat, and If precipitation at all
heavy were to come tonight it would undoubted
ly check the damage talk, which is based upon
reports of hot winds and dust storms in some
parts of Kansas The weather was bullish in
the northwest, for there were rains at Winnipeg,
Bismarck, Moorhead and Huron, with
rain threatened here and a local fore
cast for partly cloudy skies and
probable showers tonight and Friday, and cooler
tonight. This is seasonable weather, but specu
I i latlvely its effect, If anj. would be bullish, on
the argument of delayed farm work. Seeding is
I
in fair shape, however, and while the season is
S not early, neither can it be said to be late, ex
cept in a few places. It would take several days
of successive heavy rains to set back the work
enough to make it an important consideration.
1 As for Canada, Piper had advices from Winni
3 peg estimating SO per cent of the wheat area
I seeded, while the Canadian Pacific report of
I today says 70 to 80 per cent is in, under perfect
conditions.
I Some talk went around about the doings of the
I i Ogilvies in tho Winnipeg market. Winnipeg
May at 78%c against 76%c for Minneapolis May,
is unusual. There is said to be much manipu
lation In the Canadian market. Last year the
Ogilvies were credited with a successful little
corner In Winnipeg, and traders are wondering
whether they are out to do it again.
The** local decrease for five days Is 430,000
1' bu. Receipts here were 221 cars against 111.
I at Dnluth S3 against 3 and at Chicago 4 against
SO. Winnipeg's comparison was 297 cars and 102,
St. Louis' 36 000 bu and 60,000, Kansas City's
45,000 and 34,000. There was a slow cash de
mand and flour shipments were again light.
Millers paid 2%c over for No. 1 northern but the
tuff did not sell off with the old snap. In the
pit Marfleld bought 150,000 bu and was about
the biggest trader of the day. Woodworth was1
active on both sides, while Kenkel, Tracy and
WatEon were the principal sellers of July, and
Cummings, Lewis and Daggett the best buyers.
The Northwestern Miller savs: "Dull business,
together with the high premium for spot wheat,
Is the cause of the light operation of the mjlls.
Conditions existing, at Minneapolis prevail alls
over the northwest, both as to output and trade.
The hope that the rise in wheat last week might
induce free buying of flour was not realized. If
anything, business with the mills was duller than
usual. Buyer* did not even come in and take
flour at old prlee. As a rule, sales of flour by
Minneapolis mills for the week were less than
tj output However, In some cases, shipping
directions on old orders came in rather better,
'lhat tbe tride ioe& not buy flour more freely
is disconrngirg. But buvers seem to have an
unuMiallv laice quantity of flour on the books of
the mills, ard in taking this gradually there is
no necessity for their making new purchases on
a large scale

RAIN FORECAST CAUSES WEAK WHEAT
MARKET AT OPENING.
Chicago, April 26.An official forecast of rain
for Kansas and Nebraska caused free selling
here todaj by commission houses and resulted
in a weak market. Reports claiming damage to
the fall-sown crop by dry weather were denied
today and this helped to create additional bearish
sentiment. July opened a shade to %@%c lower
at 79%c, and after selling at 79%c declined to
78%c. May opened a 6hade to %@%c lower at
S0@80%c, sold at 80%@80%c, and then reacted
to 79%c. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago re
ported receipts of 258 cars against 191 cars last
week and 173 cars a year ago.
The close was steady, with July %@%c low
er at 79%c. May was down %c at 79%@f9%c.

Weakness jot wheat Lad a depressing effect on

but the volume of trading was small. July

sold at 46% c, and^then eased off to 45%@46c.
May opened a shade lower at 46% c. sold at 47c
and later dropped back to 46%c. Local receipts
were liberal at 220 cars. 42 of which were
of contract grade.

The oats market held steady, notwithstanding
'the weakness of wheat and 'corn. There was a
good general demand, but offerings were light.
Unsettled weather, small local receipts and a
fair demand for cash oats were steadying influ
ences. July opened unchanged at 31c and sold

New York, AprU 26.Opening dealings In the
stock market today showed irregular price move
ments. Some of tb einternatlonal issues were
benefited sympathetically bj the advance' in
London, but others showed declines. Reading
rose and then reacted, and Great Northern
rose a point. Consolidated Gas opened up
fell back to a point under last night. Erie sec
ond preferred declined 1%, National Biscuit 1
and Northern Pacific
Stock pi ices melted away under a flood of
liquidation during the ftcs half hour. The ex
tensive charactei of the selling and the violent
declines in some of the representative railroad
slocks alarmed holdeis. Much of the selling
pceined of a forced character and some was at
tributed to Are insurance sources. Commlssioa
houses were free sellers. Reading was about the
only stock that 3howed any measure of sirpporr,
buying orders holding It steady after it had
fallen back to a parity with yesterday's clos
ing. Support for the general market developed
after this stock had* made a successful stand
and there iwere a number of substantial rallies
which reduced the losbes to small fractions
Trading was quiet and the market Was bhowiu^
aa inclination to run off again at 11 o'clock.
The recovery in prices brought out a new
flood of liquidation, which carried prices lower
than before. Losses up to 1% were almost uni
versal. The subsequent rally again centered on
Reading, which yielded to 124 and then rebound
ed to about 123. Northern Pacific's loss ran
to 4%, Great Northern preferred 4, Anaconda
3%, Colorado Fuel 3, Amalgamated Copper and
Locomotive preferred 2%, St. Paul, Atlantic
Coast Line, Illinois Ceneral, Kansas & Texas,
preferred, Iowa Central, Locomotive and Na
tional Biscuit 2. The tone was feverish and un
settled at the rally. Bonds were easy at noon.
Stocks made a slight drop downward in sym
pathy with Consolidated Gas on the announce
ment of the reduction of its dividend rate on a
4 per cent basis. Consolidated Gas, which had
moved up to 184% after its morning break, ran
off to 131 Quick support developed and it
recovered again \o 134, with other leaders also
making proportionate recoveries. Pullman yield
ed 6 points and Pacific Coast 2%.
A number of small rallies and declines oc
curred later, but only a few stocks went lower
than the previous lowest.
Acute pressure of liquidation was not re
newed, but the demand became languid at
recoveries and the tone became uncertain. Read
ing got 1% above yesterday and Tennessee Coal
1. American Express extended its decline to 10
points, Hocking Valley 6, Erie fust preferred
3Vs and Lackawanna fell back 1 to 2 below jes
teiday. Announcement of large gold engage
ments for import just before the end of the
session induced active buying. The (losing was
generally firm.

FOOTBALL CHINESE CLASSIC _.
Game Was Old When Julius Cesar Was
a Boy.
Chicago Post.
Professor Giles of Cambridge, an in
teresting gentleman who has made a
profound study of the Chinese and
their history, tells us that football in
China is as old as Julius Cesar, and al
most as venerable as the gentle doc
trine of Tao. In fact, it was quite a
chestnut when Cesar went to Britain,
and long before that interesting event
Chinese poets wrote football verse that
was not bad as poetry goes. Bnt Pro
fessor Giles does not saypossibly he S
does not knowwhether the Chinese
kicked football out of poetry or eventu- i
ally kicked the poetry out of football.
As a
game.

Chinese football was a
The goal was thirty
feet high, with an opening one foot in
diameter, and the object of the sport. I
was to kick the ball thru this opening.
Whenever a rah-rah China boy succeed- I
ed in making a goal he was rewarded
with flowers, fruit, wine and other evi
dences of appreciation but the cap
tain of the losing team "was flogged
and suffered other indignities." There
is no record that it was sweet for alma
mater to be flogged.
So far as the larger American univer
sities are concerned, there is little hope
that any action will be taken to miti
gate the horrors of the present game.
But if it is not too late for reconsider
ation at Northwestern/ the Chinese
methods might be looked into for the
purpose of softening the blow that fell
with the unexpected abolition of inter
collegiate contests. Of course, even
should Chinese football be permitted at
Northwestern, it would not be expected
that the captain of a losing team would
be flogged to make an Evanston holi
day the game, rather than its conse
quences, will be accepted as a return
to the sweet simplicity of the Mongol
fathers.
Chinese footbaH certainly lived be
yond Laocius and Confucius. That the
game was founded on the principles of
Laocius there can be no doubt, for it
is emphatically set forth in the Taoist
classic that a person who should take
delight in human butchery could never
make himself acceptable to the em
pire at large." Thus we see how we
may learnin some particulars at least
the value of diversion based on the
innocent recreations of an older and
more settled civilization.
