CHICAGO. April 6.— The liquidation
in wheat today by longs on all the hard
siKits was too much for the buyers who
caiae forward on account of crop damage
reports May. after an advance of lc, left
off with a net decline of %c. July closed
unchanged. Corn lost %c. Oats gained
i.e. I'ork closed unchanged. Lard and
ribs declined 2'-c each.
The wheat market was execedinly nerv
ous and uncertain. Milder weather and
somewhat lower Liverpool cables caused
Borne liquidation at the start and a con-
B Quent incline. -Tht^ sellers were soon
bailed I'ui. -huwever fcnti as soon as the
Belling j.n s.-uie' was i'tSnoved the market
had a rapid recover;,- on buying orders
from traders who had further crop dam
age news from the country. May opened
i 4 ©?sc lower, at from 72% c down to 72% c,
and after rising. to" 73c, without any wild
stirring of the contending forces, the
price shot suddenly up to 73%£i-73%c. July
Was also responsive to the crop damage
complaints. The price of May gradually
receded to around 73c, and then occurred
a struggle among some large scalpers to
soe who could unload fastest. The sell
ing resulted in a sudden collapse to 72?ic
for both May and July. Then a recovery
M-t In that was about as sudden as the
slump had been. July was the leader on
the second rally, going to %c premium
for a time.
Everything gave place to the shoals of
sensationally bad crop reports that came
from all directions. From Nebraska "to
tal ruin' was the cry from many sections,
and Kansas was not far behind, the ex
ception being a report of less than 50 per
cent damage. Many claimed the losses to
be 75 per cent. The feeling of opposition
to an advance was not allayed, however.
Every advance brought out free offerings
from the local talent, which the market
was not broad enough to absorb without
yielding temporarily.
Chicago received 101 cars, of which two
graded contract. Minneapolis and Duluth
got 309. against 189 a year ago. Total pri
mary Western market receipts were 374,
--000, compared with 283,000 a year ago. At
lantic port clearances were equal in wheat
and flour to 210,000 bu.
A? the crowd had loaded up on every
bulge, the burden became too heavy near
the end, and they were compelled to drop
some of it, as the session approached the
close. May reached 73%-%c on one of its
upward stretches, and twice after that it
dropped to 72c, and recovered again to
73% c, but finally rested at 72% c. July
closed 'se higher than May, at 72%, c.
Corn was sluggish and disinclined to ad
vance, even when wheat was in a bullish
irood. Trading was only on a moderate
scale and chiefly for local account. May
started Vs^^c lower, at 34% c down to
34 : V 4 c. improved to 35^c, declined again to
34% c, and closed at 34% c
A brisk demand from the country was
the main feature in oats. There was a
weak spot early, but the loss was soon re
gained when buying orders from the
country began to come in, on account of
the backwardness of the season. There
was also a good cash demand. Receipts,
13S cars. May began a shade lower, at
2t;>ic, rose to 27% c, then eased off to 26?i@
26% c sellers, at the close.
Lower prices for hogs at the yards
started provisions easy. There was a
feeble rally later, on some covering of
pork. May pork cpened 2%c lower, at
$9.22K; Improved to $9.32^>, and eased off
to ?9.27 1 » at the close. The range in lard
and ribs small.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
CATTLE— The receipts this week have
been exceedingly light of all good, choice
butcher cattle, and this is especially true
\)t good fat tows and heifers. The mar
ket has been steady on all medium and
common cattle, and strong to higher on
all good to choice cattle. The demand
for choice fat cattle is so far in excess
of the supply as to make daily ship
ments of large quantities of good dressed
beef from other points a necessity. This
fact alone ought to be a sufficient guar
antee of satisfactory prices here.
We quote; Good to choice fat- steers,
$4.40@6; medium, $4@4.40; good fat cows
and heifers. $3.5d(R4.25; medium. $2.25@3.50;

mon, $3(ft'3.-10; good to choice stockers and

Fresh milkers and forward springers of
good quality and weight, $354/40; common,
$2(i«/30.
HOGS— The receipts have been less this
week than last. The market was steady
the first part of the .week, but on account
of a considerable demand for shipping
hogs the market has advanced sc. This,
of course, can not be expected to contin
ue into next week unless there should
be an advance in the price of provisions
which cannot at this time be predicted.
We quote Thursday's prices, as follows:
Bulk of butchers. $3.72^: range, $$.67%@
3.75.
SHEEP— The receipts are very far short
of the demand, and prices are from loc to
2oc higher than a week ago.
We quote: Good to -choice' ■ fat sheep,
$4.50@4.75; medium, $4£i4.50; good to choice

OTHER GRAIN MARKETS
GRAIN GOSSIP — Gossip by private
wire to C. H. F. Smith & Co., St. Paul,
members of the New York stock ex
change and Chicago board of trade.
Price Current— Continued unfavorable
ness has attended the wheat crop. Late
advices are Increasingly emphatic as to
injury. Vitality likely lowered, -but early
event and continuance of growing weath
er may greatly overcome existing dis
couragement. Situation is one of uncer
tainty, but not of hopelessness. Austin,
Tex.— The protracted drought in Central
and Western Texas has been broken by
rain. Omaha— One who has farmed in
Nebraska for thirty years claims we will
be unable to raise any spring wheat, as
his experience has bten that the wheat
planted after April 1 can only get a
good crop of straw. Most of the Kan
sas crop advices say that 50 per cent of
the wheat is killed, and will be plowted
up. What may be reaped of the remain
ing 50 per cent depends on the weather
from this forward. Reports are not so
bad from Southeastern Kansas, where
the soft wheat is raised.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
CATTLE— Th^' 'cattle market for the
week has been h very good one, all kinds
of fat cattle sslCig readily and at fair
§ rices, * compflj^vl^wKh other, markets,
ome good steers and heifers have, been
in, and sold well, showing that if cattle
are good enough they will sell here as
well as anywHw-e: Sdtne steers sold up
to $5, and .cows) and haifere up to $4 35
Bulk of steejj*. ;sQld at $4.35@4.65 with
slippery steers*|se|]ing at $4@4.25, coarse
half steers ns ;low- as $3.75. All kinds of
good cows nndi heifers in good demand,
and not enough coming to supply the
trade. Fat *.bwHs?. a little slow as the
weather gets iu< warmer, and shippers
should understand!, that they Won't sell
as high from- new tin. Good canners sell
ing higher, and old thin cows not wanted,
except at very low prices.
All kinds of. stockers showing any qual
ity at all have sold at good prices all
week, but shippers must look out for the
off -colored stuff, as it must sell low if sold
on its merits. Of course, once in a while
a scratch sale is made, Which 1b very mis
leading to shippers of this kind of stuff.
Heifers, all weights, are selling well, but
anything showing calf, either young cows
or heifers, is In the best demand, and
there are more buyers for them than for
any other class of stuff.
Our quotations for the week: Good to
choice beef steers, $4.50@5J common to
fair, $4@4.40; choice heifers, $4@4.50; good
cows and heifers, $3.50@3:85; common to
fair, $3@3.40; canners, $1.50@2.25; young
feeding and springy cows, $2.60@3; fat
bulls, $3.25@3.75; bologna bulls, $2.60®3;
good SOO to 1,000 1b feeding steers, $4@4.25;
best yearlings and twos, $3.85@4.25; cqm
mon, ?3.25@3.75; best stock calves, $4.50®
4.75; fair, $4@4.40; good stock heifers, $3.50
@3.75; common, $3@3.40; light stock and
feeding bulls, $2.75@3.40.
These quotations are in accordance with
the.dlfferent kinds of. cattle sold. here this
week.
Shippers should bear in mind that they
must buy the off-colored cattle, regard
less of weights, to sell low, as the range
is very wide between the good and poor
ones.
HOGS— The receipts in Chicago Thurs
day were 2,800; market 5c lower.
Receipts here Thursday 1,000; market
steady, bulk of the hogs selling $3.70@3.75
and not a very good quality shown.
Owing to the fact of there being two
outside buyers on the market the past two
days, all classes of hogs have sold high,
as the demand exceeded the supply. We
do not look for any great change in prices
in the near future. "
SHEEP— The receipts have been very
light this week, packers depending oh the
feeders here for " their supply. Prices
about the sam* -as last week. Our sales
for the week are as, follows:
119 shorn lambs averaging 76 lbs, $5.
147 shorn yearlings, averaging 106 lbs,
$4.60.
46 lambs, avefaglng 90 lbs, $5.25.
4 lambs, averaging 92 lbs, $5.50.

GAVE IIITO PASTOK. _
First Presbyterian Church of South
Chicago Stirred by Scandal.
CHICAGO, aWh" 6.— The congregation of
the First Presbyterian church, of South
Chicago, will hold a meeting to take ac
tion upon a scandal which is now the talk
of all South Chicago; also to pass upon
the resignation of Its pastor, Rev. Charles
S. Black. Last Sunday morning during
the course of ( hls Easter sermon, which
contained references to modern political
methods, Pastor Black was suddenly In
terrupted by Elder .Robert Aitcheson, who
excitedly exclaimed:
"It's all a d^— d He."
The congregation was startled and the
pastor amazed. Then Mr. Aitcheson got
up from his seat and left the church. At
the close of the sermon Pastor Black re
quested the church members to remain
until after services. He then tendered
his resignation. In speaking of this mat
ter last night, Mr. Black said:
"I am a careful man, not given to utter
ing sensational statements, and I cannot
understand to what assertion Mr. Aftche
son had reference when he Interrupted me
by his profane denial. I drew an analogy
between ancient and modern social con
ditions, but very carefully refrained from
mentioning any individuals. Mr. Aitche
son is not only an elder, but the treasurer
of the church trustees, and has always
been a warm friend of mine."
Last night Mr. Black received a letter
from Mr. Aitcheson, tendering the pastor
a full apology and asking, forgiveness for
what he characterized "my outrageous
conduct.." -

NEW YORK, April 6.— Stock prices
slumped badly today, and closed active
and weak at about the lowest. Crop ad
vices were unfavorable, and these were
given color by the advance In wheat,
but the principal cause for the shaking
oC confidence was a renewal of stringency
in the call money market. Discrimination
in loans In certain Industrials made
brokers unwilling to carry marginal orders
for those properties. This attitude was
taken advantage by the bear contingent,
and premiscuous selling of the general
specialty group followed. Among the
more conspicuous breaks were Brooklyn
Transit, 10;_Metropolitan, 8^; Manhattan,
V-fc; Consolidated Gas and American
Steel, 7 each. Federal Steel and Tobacco
about 5 each, atid many others in this
group from 3 to 4. Some of these stocks
closed above the lowest. Brooklyn Tran
sit, Manhattan and Consolidated Gas be
ing conspicuous.
The declines in the more active rail
roads approximated two points. The
acknowledged bull leaders, presumably
having liquidated, seemed pathetic in
stemming the downward course of prop
erties with which they are identified.
There were occasional rallies apparently
only to afford a new level from which
to let go stocks. The recent continued
advance in many stocks, which eliminat
ed much of the short interest, made the
decline rapid, as there was no support
from this quarter. Many stop loss orders
were uncovered, thus accelerating the de
cline.
London early purchased about as much
as it sold yesterday, but the market
there followed local quotations so nearly
that arbitrage business ceased. There
was much money borrowed early on call
around 6 and 8 per cent on railways,
but 2 per cent or more In addition was
exacted on industrial collateral, and 12
per cent for call loans was reached at
times during the day. Before the close,
money was offered down from 8 to 4 per
cent on railroad collateral after the more
urgent requirements for money had been
met, but later loans were made at 6 per
cent.
The continued high rates for money has
not brought as much money from out
side points as expected. Boston, however,
loaned some money in New York today.
The demand for money for Interest and
dividend payments together with the re
current necessity of financial industrial
companies was assigned as the reas&n
for the present scarcity of funds.
Heavy offerings of the active issues
were made in the bond market today,
coincident with the decline In stocks.

Tielcct, Which Is Elected.
BEATTIE. Kan., April 6.— The issue In
Seattle's city election was strictly be
tween the men ahd women and the women
won.
There has been much dissatisfaction
over the way the city has been run by the
present administration, which was made
up entirely of men, and the women put
up an opposition ticket composed wholly
of women, with the exception of one man
for the council. The women drove their
carriages all day through a blinding snow
storm, bringing voters to the polls, with
the result that they had, 50 to 90 majority.
Their ticket was as follows: Mayor, Mm.
Charles, Totten; council, Mrs. Schllght,;
Mrs. Smith. Mrs. Kuhn, Mrs. Watkins
and Mr. Smith; clerk. Miss 1 O'Neill.'
Mayoress-elect -Totten- says «lie ; will ap
point a man to be marshal.
