CHICAGO, March l7.-l Special Telegram TO
THE BEE. THE wheat market started weak
today, but developed great strength toward
the close. With no important news at the
opening May started at 1913. The first in
huence felt was from the visible supply re-
ported. The figures gave a decrease Of but
10l, 600 bushels at New York and total de-
crease Of but $4,000 bushels against $50, 900
ayear ago. On this and on very free selling
by two big houses-Jones &c Kennett and
Mccormick & Co.-the price OF May weht
of 10 10 1890. Hutchinson and good
many others bought wheat around 79xc and
supported the market. BY IL o'clock
there was q big rally of NC to 1870
on ia, 600 bushels cleared at New York and
some bull news from the wheat belt on Janu-
Rry About noon Cudahy became very
aeavy buyer, 1T was supposed on returns
made by his crop expert King OF Toledo
Iends word that his latest advces from the
illinois, Indiana and Michigan wheat field
were the worst yet received. STOCKS In
country elevators in the northwest decreased
500, 900 bushels for the week. This sort of
news sent the price of May up to SOC. After
pause 1t was forced q fraction past that
poiut, when the crowd became very bullish
DR. frightened and put the price up to S0llc
at S035c, or 1c over the morning figure.
Late In the day New York advanced the
limits on orders here and did considerable
buying. The trade in wheat the last half
hour was enormous. The buying was gen
eral and most of those who had "calls"
called them. Hutchinson opposed the ad
vance, but the market was too broad and
too strong. The close was at the very best
price OF the day-S0llc for May.
The corn market was unusually firm today
In the face Of some not very bullish figures.
The visible supply of corn increased for the
week 1000, 600 bushels. March at the close
was sc up at 2S9Sc. May SOLD at 2924c and
b0(d30lsc at the close. Other closings were: I:
April, 2916c; June, 301l Gp3036c; July, 81 &c;
August, 3l&c; September, 1890.
Oats were quiet and teadler, but without
Important features. Trading was almost
entirely in May within u range Of &c. Other
deliveries were slow. The visible supply
decreased 3OS. s57 bushels, but stocks here
increased 1873 bushels. Car lots Of No. 2
In store were slow and auotable at 209l (dl21c.
No. 2 white for May was steady at 22$4c.
There was little feature to the provision
trade all day. Trade was light after the
Hrst half hour. In the pit pork opened
lower and after selling off on little bear
raid from $40. SO to $40. 40 for May it recov-
cred to $40. 81 I@9l0.55 and closed at slU50.

Monday, March II.
The receipts of cattle estimated at ., 500,
compared with /, 652 Saturday, and ., 100 last
Monday. The receipts last week were II, l05,
compared with 1909 the previous week.
Among the receipts, which were much bet-
ter than the receipts Saturday. were some
good steers, good run OF cows and some
helfers, the heifers selling at $500. The
steer market opened from shade to l0c
lower than Saturdays market. The heavy
receipts allowed buyers to make desired Sc
lections ana the good quality made the mar
ket rather active early in the day, notwith-
standing the decline. Only few early sales
reached the s400 mark although
almost everything sold at s350(Q4 90. Tho
run of cows was very fair. the market
opened active NJ firm TO strong prices. Near
ly everything IN the COW line sold at S3 5O0

were liberal, the demand good and the mar
ket active with weak tendency. Bulls
continue active and strong. Some very hno
export bulls were on tho market selling as
high as $3.50.

FINANCIAL

New YORK, March 1L-ISpecial Telegram
to THE BEE. l-SToCKs-If the great public
which Wall street is waiting to give aid in
making an old time ball stock market could
hear the expressions of professional opera
tors from day TO day it Is probable that the
indifference of outsiders might continue in
definitely There is little real enthusiasm in
force anywhere. Events of Importance do
not catch the attention of the trade and un-
important rumors are chased in hope of i'm
portant news. Another fortnight and the
money question will cease to be an import
ant factor. In that time also the rate troubles
will be cleared up Already points given out
on Atchison last week are coming true. Per-
haps stocks will start up one at time. The
opening OF the market today was irregular,
the temperature of the room
bearish and London buying a
few stocks. There was good business
early in only three stocks-Reading, Union
Pacific and Tennessee Coal. The opening
prices were generally from IS to y per cent
higher than Saturdays closing figure but
further gains were few ana Insignificant,
the market soon developing a reactionary
temper. Except in the case of Tennessee Coal
and Oregon Short Line, however, the
losses incurred were small. Tennessee Coal
dropped from AN to 43lS and Short Line
from As to 43, though late in the hour. when
there was n better tone prevalent, both re.
covered portion of the loss. Sugar Re
fneries were very quiet and after q loss of
q per cent regained the entire amount
Reading was active within narrow limits,
but the market developed no further feature
OF interest aud at II o'clock il was quiet.
The succeeding hour took Union
Pacific from B99l to 63ss. Tennes-
see Coal rose to 49, Burlington
recovered from 1865, going to lO72i,
Michigan Central rose to 9SSS. or ~ per
cent advance from the close of last week.
Lake Erie & Western preferred rose full
point to 6i9S. The feature of the market,
however. was the lead OF Atchison, which
went up rs 20 31h. After midday there
were some excellent gains in few stocks.
Sugar went to 69lS, but closed steady at 675S.
Transcontinental went to 3S9l and closed / 4
per cent up ut 3SIS. Atchison continued to
lead in the advance and touched 379l, closing
~ up at 37ll. GranRers and Coalers closed
ut about Saturdays figures all through, with
Tennessee Coal at 45S< or 2% per cent
lower Union Pacific was weak and lost a,
closing AZ 63. Money was fairly easy all
day.

A Gigantic Lens.


A most distinguished assemblage of
mathematicians and scientists gathered
enthusiastically around plain packing
box in Cambridge, Mass, on the 10Th to
look at piece of glass. 1t was ten
feet in circumference and some three
inches thick, but as it lay in its bed of
excelsior its value exceeded 100000, and
the spectators regarded it with the
greatest affection.
The place was the Office of Alvan
Clark, the famous telescope maker, and
the glass was the lens for the new tele-
scope to be erected on Wilson peak, in
the Sierra Madre mountains near Los
Angeles, 5000 feet above the sea, for the
University of Southern California. 1t
will be the largest telescope in the
world, the object glass being three feet
four inches in diameter, or five inches
more than the famous Lick telescope.
LIZ oUOO VIII NO w leu lOuS anu Cuo
moon will be brought by it within 100
miles of the earth. The whole is the
gift of E. F. Spence, president of the
First National bank at Los Angeles.
The glass was cast in Paris, after no less
than ITO attempts, and is insured for
its full value in two Boston companies.
1t will take fully two years yet to
grind and polish it to the required focus,
and when, to all appearances complete,
the human fingers will be called into
play to finish its surface. 1t is ground
down with red oxide OF iron and polished
with beeswax.
Among those present were a number
of the faculty of the California university,
Yale, Johns Hopkins and other insti-
buttons. When in position the telercope
is expected to perform wonders. 1t will
also have Photographic outfit which
will be three times larger than any now
in existence. 1t will cost $4,000 alone to
transport the glass to Los Angeles.

An Extinct Volcano.

GRANADA, Nicaragua, Sept. 26.-Over
$4,000 people, terror-stricken by earth
quake shocks and continued rumbEngs
of the ancient volcano Mombacho, have
filed from the city since Sunday. Inter
nal sounds resembling distant thunder
were heard Sunday morning. Almost
Immediately the earth heaved violently
and has continued to v1brate at brief in
tervals ever since, SCATTERING nearly every
house in the city of Is, 900 souls. Gran
ada is built at the base of Mombacho
which has been considered extinct for
centuries, no eruption having taken place
since the discovery of the country. There
is now daily dread lest the long closed
crater should open and bury the town in
lava and ashes. A heavy shock came
Monday morning, that caused immense
damage, cracking walls in all parts of the
city. 1t was felt at Managra River,
Massaya and other towns sixty or seventy
miles away. Other shocks equally heavy
have followed, though no damage has
been done outside of this city, where
there is hardly a house that does not
threaten to fall. A wild panic has seized
the residents, and everyone made des-
perate efforts to leave the city. Those
who have been able to get away by rail
way, carriage or cart, or on foot, to neigh
boring towns or haciendas are living in
abiect terror. The vibrations have been
from northeast to southwest, and those
of the heaviest kind numbered half a
dozen, though minor tremblings have
been innumerable. One story adobes
cracked from ceiling to floor. The firm
est structures of masonry have also been
injured. Ten thousand people left the
city by railroad trains alone. The gov
eminent is running trains out of town
as rapidly as the facilities will permit.
There have been no cases of falling walls
or any deaths consequent upon the
shocks

A Stage Held In,

REDDING, Cal, Sept. 26.-The Red
ding and Cedarville stage was robbed
last night near Morley's Station. Two
robbers, masked, one large man, the
other a short and strongly built man,
ordered Ed Bracket to stop, presenting
pistols. The Wells Fargo Company's
box and government way pouch were
thrown out on demand and $500 ex-
tracted. The empty envelopes and
packages were put back in the box and
the sack returned to the driver. The
robbery was not unexpected, as sus-
picious characters have been hanging
around the locality for some time. In
fact, the ak used was stolen in the
neighborhood. They are supposed to
be old hands at the business. The mail
was untouched.
