wheat Active, but Weak at the Open
ing ON the Chicago Board-Pro-
visions Fall on, but Later Recover.


CHICAGO. April %. Large Northwest
ern receipts. together with the continue
ton of the fine growing weather re-
ports. made further inroads upon the price
Of wheat to-day. May closed steady at 6Sc.
or &c below yesterday. Corn closed at the
same prices as II did yesterday and oats l-ibc
lower. Provisions recovered the greater part
OF q moderate decline made near the open
ing.
There was an active wheat market. prices
being subject to rather frequent changes
within the range of 11sc. The feeling devel-
oped was quite weak early. and still lower
prices were scored. May selling down to
62kc and July 10 e311c, after which a steadier
tone prevailed, and the close showed out a
trife loss. The early weakness was due TO a
great extent TO the favorable weather condi-
lions both in the spring and winter wheat
territories. it being mild and clear in the
Northwest, while moderate temperature dEu
generally fair conditions prevailed IN the
West. There was further liquidation IN May.
and this added depression to the aireaoy
weak market. Northwestern receipts con-
tinue on a fairly liberal scale. Cables did
not show the weakness expected. early LIVER
pool public advices showing but 12d decline,
which. in the face of yesterdays break on
this side. was taken as a strengthening fea-
ture. and when second cables came IN
quoting some advance. the market mere
firmed up; outside markets did not snow the
weakness manifested here.
Corn was moderately active and rather
weak At the close there was no change IN
price. as compared with the final quotations
of the day before. The range for the day
was only &c.
Only a fair business vas transacted In
oats, mostly in the way OF exchanges. Inc
tone of the market averaged steady. May

sold TO 1890, advanced off to 1880 and closed
with 19ss01911c bid. July ranged from 19Ac

Trading In provisions was heaviest In pork,
but a fair amount of business was done also
i'm lard and ribs. After an early break or
15c. pork recovered, chiefly through Gu
dahy's buying. to within 2l2c of the price, II
closed at Yesterday. Lard and ribs also
wound up with a net loss for the day Of .021sc

Few Wisps OF Hay.

Yesterday John Martin, a farmer living
southeast of the city on the county line,
was arrested for allowing a few wisps of
hay to drop from a wagonload of the arti-
Gle which he had brought to the city. 1t
is true that at least a dozen straws of tim
othy had dropped on the street. and the
patrolman carefully gathered these up for
violating Section 80 of the streets and al
leys ordinance, which provides that every

hauled in wagons constructed SO as to pre-
vent any of the contents from dropping on
the street. The arrest was made I'm ac-

Opposes Instruction..
To the Editor of the INDIANAPOLIS Journal.

AS a delegate to the State convention I
wish to enter my protest against instructing
the delegates at large TO the ST. Louis con-
vention. / am opposed to tying mems hands
when we cannot see all the possibilities that
may arise. / would not accept a position as
delegate from my constituents unless they
EXPRESSED enough confidence in my Judgment
TO allow me to determine for myself what
would be the best course TO pursue. While
the sentiment Of Indiana to-day IL undoubt-
edlv favorable TO Mckinley. and we should
elect as delegates men who are honest 70
themselves and their constituents. we should
also have confidence in their Judgment and
allow them to Judge as to how long their
constituents opinions should be foIlowed.
Men can often learn by placing themselves
