pounds each have arrived at New Or
leans, and twenty-five bags of 224
pounds each, and twenty-five casks of
l.9O0 pounds each have arrived at New

tlners and the trust acting together will
take whatever steps they deem neces-
sary TO prevent it or any other foreign

The deal made is one similar to that
formed in the tobacco trade. The

HELENA, Mont, April 13.-President
Hill, of the Great Northern, left for st.

this section. The object of his visit was
to see what arrangements he could make
with Marcus DAILY for extending the
Montana Central from Butte to An

a satisfactory agreement has been
reached and that the extension will be
built. Heretofore the Montana Union,

from the Anaconda mines to the Butte

advanced rates. and Daily shut down
his mines. Hill has long wanted

Anaconda and Butte, but has not dared
to do anything to antagoniZe the Union

for Pacific coast connection. Now

parent in North ern Pa
cifie Preferred.

CHICAGO, April 13.-The wheat market wa
strong, corn was even stronger. and the other
speculative markets took their tone from
those first named. Hutchinson had an enor-
nous quantity of July wheat for sale, and
there were plenty of buyers for it. Clifford
took 00,000-bu parcel from him early in the
session. The closing prices show gain of
1c in May and lac in July wheat. The re-
quirements of Europe again lead the dealing
in futures in the Chicago wheat market The
weather on this continent was all that could
be desired for the fall-sown wheat although
a recurrence of colder weather in some sec
tons of the Northwest was reported to be
still further making the seeding late. The
French farmers, withloss of their crop staring
them in the face, are evidently disposed to
keep what they still hav of the previous crop
and are com pelling the millers to fill the
void so caused by importations from this and
other countries. May wheat opened at about
Ac over Saturdays closing quotations, and
made jump of l20s1c. May sold ct from
S1.047S TO 81. .05 when trading commenced,
and July at from ST. 03l2 to 81 03s4 The
July future lost some of its initial strength at
once and touched Sl.03 for a moment at the
opening, but May was hell above S1.05, and
advanced later to 81 .05l2; July also received
an accession; it touched S1.04. Good TAX
ings at desirable rates were receiv ed at pri-
mary points, ana there were rather free ex-
port clearances at New York and New Orleans
This, of course, strengthened the market on
May, wheat which sold as high as S105s.@
1.057s, closed at S1.055s and July as high as
Sl04ss and closed at 1.04A. The corn mar
ket opened firm soon became firmer and
later was very strong. The closing prices at
an advance of Saturdays latest quotations
OF 1l2c for the May delivery and 15sc for
July, those figures being Sac below the top
prices of the day. The strength in the de-
mand for cash corn to go to store was largely
responsible for the good buying of futures
by the shorts. No. III this market sold as
high at Tic. Hutchinson bought freely of
July. Liverpool was quoted a strong
and Id higher. Oats attracted more
attention than usual and were fairly
active, acquiring considerable strength
through sympathy with the other markets.
The market closed firm, with May ssc higher
and July 1c. The heavy advance noticeable
in the latter future was caused by the shorts
who forced the price up. The opening of the
provision market was tame, and at lower
prices for pork and lard, but ribs met with a
fair inquiry, and in the end made demands
spring up for the other speculative articles
also, resulting in considerable advances being
established over Saturdays closing quota

THE ALTON BOYCOTT.
1t Is Assuming a Very Serious
and ComDlicated Phase.

1t Is Assuming Very Serious
and Complicated Phase.
CHICAGO, April ia new phase of
the controversy between the Chicago &
Alton road and the Eastern lines or tie
commission question is introduced in q
circular issued to-day by the passenger
department of the Alton. 1t is addressed
to all the connections of the company,
and contains all the correspondence
that has passed between it and the
roads represented by the board of rul-
ings on this subject. The interesting
portion of the document is part of
letter bearing the signature of William
Brown, general solicitor of the Chicago
d Alton company. containing that gen
tleman's opinion as to the leg ality of the
proposed boycott. Mr.. Brown says:
81 would respectfully advise you that,
IN my opinion, number Of rail
way companies have no legal right
to combine together and take concerted
action to interrupt the business of this
company, on account of their refusal to
enter any contract. The combination
amounts in law to conspiracy, and the
participants are responsible for any in
jury which may result therefrom to the
business of this company. This action
can have no reasonable justification III
the we'll established right of any indi-
vidual company to regulate and control
the sale of its tickets. Your refusal to
decline the payment of commissions
might, under some decisions. Justify a
their agents from handling your
tickets because OF the pretext that
the paymenS of commiSsiont might
in some imaginary way interfered with
the duties of the agent to his principal,
but it is not readily understood how the
pursuance Of the now usual custom of
railroads to sell through tickets and
check baggage through can in any re-
Spect impair the rights or be detri-
mental to the railroad which has been
favored with custom. Since every rail-
road participating IN carrying out the
combined purpose would be Jointly with
others, as well as seyerally. responsible
to this company for any injury result
ing to its business. would it not be we'll
for you to notify each of the purpose of
this company to hold them legally
responsible for the consequences
of their combination?" General Pas
senger Agent Charlton notifies them ac-
cordingly that they will be held respon-
sible for any damage that may result to
the Alton company by reason of the
boycott. 1t seems not improbable,
therefore, that the fight may ultimately
be settled in the courts. Legal counsel
of one of the Eastern roads that is in
the agreement to boycott the Alton has
expressed the same opinion as Mr..
Brown The notice of the board of rul-
ings goes into effect Wednesday. If the
business of the Alton is affected to any
considerable extent thereby, it is the
purpose of that company to institute
legal proceedings against the roads re-
fusing TO honor its tickets.

MAY MEAN DISSOLUTION.
The Western Traffic Association
Threatened With a Break,

CHICAGO, April 13.-There is consid-
cradle speculation as to whether the
Missouri Pacific will be represented at
the meeting of the advisory board of
the Western Traffic association to be
held here tomorrow. Jay Gould is in
the Southwest and has not signified his
intention OF being present. while Vice
President S. H. Ii. Clark is in Portland,
Or. These are the only two officials
that, under the agreement, can repre-
sent the Missouri Pacific in the advisory
board, and the indications are that the
meeting is to be ignored by that COM
pany. If this proves to be the case it
can mean nothing less than the disso-
luton Of the association at an even
earlier date than was generally be-
lieved. Charges of rate cutting re-
Gently against the Missouri Pacific were
to be answered at the next meeting. and
it is concluded that Gould has no inten-
ton of submitting to the rulings of the
board.

Grain, Pro visions and Stocks

Wheat was stronger and the tendency from
the first was upward. There was fair sup
port from other places. May was especially
firm. with more or less of what was called
clique buying. July was we'll maintained,
but with more of sellers of that future re-
ported from winter wheat points. Cables
were not strong, but they were encouraging
of activity, and a disposition to buy in the
chief English markets. The decrease in
wheat stocks in Minnesota was the largest for
any week Of the crop season, the last week
showing falling off in the country elevators
of 100000 bu. The increase in Liyerpool

export ana steadily for domestic distribution.
There is no lack of offerings, but there is a
pretty general feeling of confidence that
checks a tendency TO make sacrifices to move
it. At the same time buyers of patent -four
for the home trade are not rushing on to take
whatever is offered. They are acting CON
servatively and even cautiously, as if they
expected heavy competition in the spring

HEAVY FAILURES.
PrecI pitated by Speculation With
Borrowed Money.

LANCASTER. Pa, April 13.-Thomas
Baumgardner, at one time reputed to be-
the wealthiest citizen of Lancaster.
made an assignment this afternoon. His
liabilities are estimated at from $500, ZOO
to S75O,O0O; assets probably very small.
Baumgardner was member of the firm
of Baumgardner, Eberman 81 Co., which
assigned Saturday with heavy liabilities
and was largely interested in the coal
and lumber business. This is believed
to be the elimination of the failures ia
this city, which were brought ouh
largely, it is said, by reimbursement
and enormous speculations largely on
borrowed capital. Henry L. Stehman,
a large farmer and tobacco dealer, OF
East Hempfeld township, this county,

The Great Northern. Too.

1t is now said that the Great Northern
road will follow the Milwaukee's ex-
ample in reducing the number of short
line trains between the cities. This is
because of the agreement between the
roads, and besides, it is said. in the in
terest of economy, as the Great North
ern has suffered to greater extent than
is generally understood by the competi-
ton of the interurban electric line, al
though probably not so much as the
Milwaukee. Both roads. however, deny
that they have even considered the
feasibility of reducing the fare to 25
cents for the round trip and running
