As told in another column the meeting
Of the Joint Traffic Association lawyers
met yesterday and decided to continue
the association until the Supreme Court
decides against them This seems a most
sensible and conservative thing to do. The
Western roads are showing a little return
Of courage. too. At first it seemed that
they would disgracefully go all TO pieces
with fear. Tile real trouble in the decision
is the chance that { might cause a sense
less and disastrous rush Of rate cutting
seems to have been avoided. and the out
look is surely much improved.

Chicago, March 3o.-Today's business in
wheat consisted OF liquidation from start
TO finish, with prices constantly dragging
downward The weakness set in at the
opening and continued with scarcely an
interruption to the close. Various reasons
for the decline We're given. but the most
prominent was break Of d at Liverpool.
This was in direct opposition to the action
of American markets yesterday, and was
explained by the statement that Russia
was offering wheat freely. Northwestern
receipts were again large at III cars,
against 40 last Tuesday, and 44S a year
ago, considerable selling being due to this
heavy movement. ThOman's crop report,
estimating the condition OF winter wheat
at SIS per cent, was another bear argument
of much potency. Receipts at Chicago were
45 cars, and 44.l46 bushels were with
drawn from store. Bradstreet's reported
a decrease of .95l, 900 bushels In Ameri-
can stock, but failed t. give any figures
on European supplies. Export clearances
were light at 134,706 bushels. Closing
continental cables quoted advances general

The Subject of Miss Buckbee's Lecture
at the Y. NJ. c. A. Last Night
The second lecture of the Y. NJ, G. A.
series, was given last evening by Miss
Annie Buokbee. supervisor of the model
department of the Pennsylvania State
Normal School, at California, Pa Her
subject was "cuba and the Cubans" and
It was illustrated by 100 fine stereopticon
views. Miss BuclSbee Is fine speaker
and she took her hearers from our own
fair land amid the orange groves OF Flor
ida. across the narrow strip that eepa-
rates 1t from Cuba, entering at the har-
Dor OF Havana, where she described how
the government of Spain takes such
pains To carefully inspect everything
that enters the chief port of that fair
isle.
Miss Buckbee speaks from the expert
euce OF two years sojourn, In Cuba, as
teacher in some of the first families OF
the island, and her descriptions Of what
she saw Of the manners and customs Of
the people were interesting in the ex-
IRENE, while the pictures thrown onto
the canvass are far above the average
Views so often shown In illustrated lee
lures.
Her lecture closes with an appeal for
this great land OF our TO help the brave
Cubans in every way possible. In this
she had the sympathy of the large audi
ence, as was evidenced by the liberal np-
plause accorded her when she spoke Of
the heroic efforts of this brave people In
their struggle for freedom.
Miss Buckbee is favorably known In
Wheeling, as she was one OF the instruc-
tors at the city teachers institute, held
the last week in August
The next lecture Of the course will be
given on the evening OF December 18th,
by Colonl Joseph II. Bausman, on "A
Yankee in Spain" and II will doubtless
be one Of the best OF the course.

MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN,

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb 4-Wheat opered
weak lower and inactive this morning. and
Ior the hrst half hour it was hard to deter
mine whether strength or weakness most pre-
dominated. About 1920, through some good
puylng orders, prices advanced a. little and
neld fairiy steady at the advance for half an
hour, then took another squirt upwards on a.
cable to COunselman & Day confirming the
report of damage to the French crop, together
with decreased acreage. The market con-
tinued to act strong from that time I'M to
noon. The news of the day was generally
bearish in tone. Liverpool cables quoted the
opening price of wheat at I'D lower than yes
terday's close, and that another I'D was
quickly scored and second cables quoted as
very dull market at the decline. These ca
bles were in sympathy with our market of
yesterday, and not to be wondered at Paris
and Berlin were both lower, and London re-
ported cargoes as partially lower. New York
advised that foreigners sent selling orders and
Chicago reported that New York and St.
Louis houses were free sellers in that market
and that practically no new cash business was
being done. Notwithstanding these unfavor-
able items the market ruled remarkably
strong. Liverpool closed at R6%d lower
than the opening, making a full penny lower
than yesterdays close.
May wheat opened at 721sc, against 72k0
726sc yesterday, advanced to TIC, declined to
71%@72c, frmed UP to 72hc, sold down to 72c'

Yesterdays close advanced to 737sc, declined
to 73Ac, gained &c by 11:50 and by noon sold
at 73Bc
The demand for cash wheat was very good
at the May price for No. northern, and some
sales of choice at Ac over the May figure
John Washburn was again a large buyer of
wheat to arrive. No. northern sold mostly
at 72A@7212c, and No. Q at 70B071c Sales
were made as per statement below. Receipts
here were 204 cars; shipments, % cars
The market was very strong during the
greater part of the noon hour. Closing cables
quoted Liverpool I'D lower for spot wheat and
115d lower for futures. Paris closed q CEN
times lower, and Berlin at ~ marks lower
Beerbohm's cable reporting the condition of
the growing French crop at c. against SO at
the same time last year, was the chief factor
In giving strength. February wheat closed at
