rate. Testimony on both sides was taken.
and the hearing consumed the entire day
and will be continued tomorrow morning.
The full commission was present, and In
in addition there were Judge L. J. Storey
and Hon. Allison Mayfield of the Texas
railway commission; Hon. Tulley A. Full
Ter, assistant attorney general, and many
railroad officials.
The only incident Of the day that ere
ated any diversion was in the afternoon,
when Mr.. j. G. Fleming of Oak Cliff was.
on the stand. He was proceeding to de-
clare that "the agitation for cheaper rates
was begun by gentlemen having political
aspirations
Chairman Morrison remarked: ''WelI,
the election is over now"
Yes" said Mr.. Fleming, "And you
know how it went" whereat there was
general laugh.
The members of She commission this
evening stated that they had enjoyed their
stay in Texas very much. They have
visited Galveston, Austin, Fort Worth,
and Dallas and have been surprised at the.
evidences of prosperity and commercial
Importance. They have been invited to-
dinners and receptions. but the pressure
on their time is such that they have been
forced to decline. They leave this even

Fairchiid & Hobson,s Letter.

Especial to Austin Cotton Exchange.)
New Orleans, April 20-Although "A
holiday in Liverpool the current news
from financial ccnters of Europe failed
to reflect the agitated feeling prevailing
in America Saturday by reason of the
Greek Turkish affair This led to an
improved tone at the opening in our mar
kets, and prices advanced accordingly.
The disposition, however, was not to in
crease long lines, and the business gener-
ally was only of moderate proportions,
prices later easing off some, as much
from inactivity as any other cause. The
news of preparations of the next crop
indicate that farmers are taking advant-
age of improved weather and pushing
ahead with their work, although com
plants are being made of cool nights
causing such cotton as is up to look sick.

Hubbard,s Cotton Letter.

New York, April 20.-lIubbard Bros. &
Co.'S cotton letter says:
Although the European cotton markets
were closed today, the action of the fnan-
cal markets and the presence of buying
orders from the continent advanced prices
some ten points over the lowest prices of
yesterday. This advance has not been
fully sustained, but it is apparent today
look as we anticipated here, and their pur-
chases of yesterday and today havve re-
lieved the market from the pressure of
long cotton. From the Mississippi valley
the flood advices show no Improvement.
An increased demand for the continent
brought about rally during the after
noon, with quiet and steady closing.

The stock markets opened rather nat

continent refused to become panicky, and
the close showed material recovery eX-

main reason for the small fall in stocks is
that, except for rails. there is scarcely
an open account. The unanimous opln,

Rumors of Hunters withdrawn.

Frankfort, KY, April 20.-The state
ment given out by Hunters friends this
evening that he had already prepared
card withdrawing from the senatorial race
has served to bring another big crowd of
politicians to the capital Many of those
who arrived tonight came to urge him to-
remain on the ticket and the others are
candidates who hope to be made the new
nominee The truth seems to be that the.
mission of both sides Is q useless one.
Hunter, the knowing ones say, may have"
prepared such a statement, but he is not
preparing to withdraw. His enemies say
his intimations that he will withdraw are
made only for effect and that when the
Franklin grand jury adjourns he will
once more boldly claim his right to fight
it out on this line of it takes all summer
Some of those urging Hunter not to-
withdraw hope to inherit his strength.
This hope Is shared by dozen candidates,
including Mayor George ID. Todd of Louis
vile, exCongressman George M. Thomas
of Lewis county and State Senator Deboe.
The men who oppose Hunters withdrawal
are urging that with such state of af--
fairs there would surely be wrangle and
row which would make as difficult the
election of the new nominee as seems that
of the present standard bearer. There
are both friends and enemies of Hunter
who believe he will withdraw tomorrow
and that the new caucus will be held to-
morrow night; but the shrewdest politi-
clans laugh ut the idea and say the with
drawal, if it comes at all, is away in the.
future.

Chicago, April 20.-Wheat today lost
1-Sc of the price it held at the close
yesterday, as the result of the less
strained feeling regarding the European
war. There was only little of the ex-
element which was SO much of feature
yesterday. Corn was firm and advanced
1-8c. Oats declined Lie, and provisions
closed without material change
Wheat fell &c bushel with dull
thud at the opening, and lay squirming
where it dropped for fifteen minutes.
fered for sale at the opening at from
70 1-4c down to e 3-4c. After f1uctuat-
ing for short time between 73c and
73 3-Sc, it tried its hand at little climb
ing, but it was so weak it soon lost it's
grip and came sliding down again. The
quotations for English consols were such
small fraction lower that it was at
once perceived that no fear of the Gre
cian-Turkish war spreading so as TO in
clude the great powers of Europe was en-
tertained in the United Kingdom. French
government securities were just as lit
tie affected as the English. The pros
pect of general European war having
been the whole thing yesterday and a
contrary to that expectation was the con-
trolling influence today. The market
worked gradually in the direction of still
lower prices though some of the news of
the day was rather bullish.
Chicago received four carloads and
shipped 130,525 bushels. Minneapolis
and Duluth goth only 200 cars, compared
with 504 cars week ago and 800 cars
the corresponding day of last year.
Wheat and flour clearances from the At
lantic seaboard amounted to the equiva-
lent of only 10000 bushels. What had
become the general feeling for while
about the price getting back to the zoe
mark again changed toward the close,
when If became know that a good cash
trade was done here today on the reac-
ton. After May had sold as low as
the influence of the good milling demand
for wheat to the highest prices of the
day. May reached IA 1-8c and July
70 3-4c, with closing rates 70 7-Sc for
May and q 5-Sc for July.
Corn ruled firm. The demand from
shorts was the chief cause of the adj
vance in that article. The opening was
decidedly weak in sympathy with wheat
and longs sold freely for time, but Gov
ering became so vigorous taht prices
soon advanced. Exports, 100000 bush
els.
Oats opened weak under liberal selling
and through sympathy with wheat, and
quite n sharp decline was recorded.
Later on good short buying prices rallied,
but the market exhibited at no time the
strength of corn. Aggregate business
rather small Exports, 10000 bushels.
Speculative trade in provisions was
light and of scalping character. Prices
dragged until the west showed its teeth
at the bears near the close, when re-
