CHICAGO MARKET
Prices and Prospects of the Trade in
Cereals

CHICAGO, March much nervous
ness was shown at the opening in wheat
The start was lower, July at 90A@90ss,
showing an initial h@Ssc decline, while
ment traders felt under the influence of the
grave condition of affairs between the
United States and Spain and the big break
in the London and New York stock mar
kets. The effect of this was in measure
counteracted by the new complications be-
tween Russia and England, and prices
rallied for a few minutes, July getting up
to 9O7s and May to 1.O6A. Prospects of war
between two foreign nations almost ip-
variably has favorable effect on the local
wheat market. and today was no excep-
ton to the rule. The selling pressure was
soon renewed. The news from Washington
was of too grave character to be over
looked, and besides this, nearly all of the
ordinary news of the day was of an ex-
ceptionally bearish nature.
A significant factor in the worlds ship
ments was the big Russian movement,
nearly hve times in excess of what it was
year ago Chicago receipts were 105 cars.
Letter brokers gave the market some SUP
port at first, but soon withdrew it, and
the market, deprived of this sustaining
force, slowly declined and became quite
dull. July finally sold down to SOC. and
May to 1.041a. About midday a new feature
developed in the buying by Letter of the

the close all the futures dropped a little,

Corn was fairly active and steady. The
Cuban war news and the weakness in
wheat induced more or less liquidation by
holders. Prices tended downward until
near the close, when covering caused a
slight improvement.

The Isthmus War

NEW YORK, March 7.-Advices from

the Herald says the report has reached
the capital that an encounter has taken
place on the frontier in the neighborhood
df Liberia between Nicaragua and Costa
Rica troops. The result is not known.
The letter states that President Igles-
las of Costa Rica has gone to the field
in person and that Gen. Aurato Estra
will probably be commander of the Mica
ragua army. While these advices are
not confirmed, it is regarded as not i'm
probable that the two countries have
plunged into conflict already without
having made a formal declaration Of
war. Costa Rica continues to be cut off
from the outside world because Nicarag-
ua refuses to permit the cable company
to handle its dispatches.

A Pension, Fraud

TOPEKA, Kas., March 7.-George
Cralls, notorious and clever pension
swindler has been brought here for trial
after being arrested at Holton by a
government inspector. Cralls is wanted
in Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska and other
States. He has sailed under numer-
Gus aliases. The Pension Commissioner
at Washington has wired the authorities
here that Cralls is wanted at several
places for swindling and asking them if
they did not have a clear case against
him to hold him until the authorities
from some other district could arrive
and get him.
Cralls, SO the authorities say, served
two years in the penitentiary for play
ing the pension fraud game in Illinois.

SACRAMENTO NAVIGATION
Will Be Improved When Appropria,
ton Is Made

SACRAMENTO, Cal, March Rob
ert T. Delvin, who, with J. NJ. Gleaves OF
Redding, and ]. A. Buell. Of Stockton
has been in Washington, in the interests
of legislation for the San Joaquin and
Sacramento Rivers and their tributar-
les, has returned and, in an interview ir
the Bee today, says that the River and
Harbor bill will be passed at either this
session of Congress or the next session
beginning in December. Several of the
large items that have hitherto gone into
the River and Harbor bill, are this year
taken care of in the Sundry Civil bill
which provides, among other things, for
the continuance and work at Oakland
and San Pedro harbors.
BY placing these items in the Sundry
Civil bill, the River and Harbor bill will
be lightened to that extent, and will en-
able the Committee on Rivers and Har-
bors to report a bill carrying larger
appropriation than would be possible if
it also had to provide for the harbor
work, which appropriations will be made
in the Sundry Civil bill.
Mr.. Devlin stated that the chairman
Of the committee, Mr.. Hooker, is per-
sonally familiar with the necessity for
the Improvement of the rivers, and has
so expressed himself and that there can
be no question but that when the River
and Harbor bell is reported to the House
appropriations will be made for the i'm
provement of the Sacramento river, in
accordance with the recommendations
of the engineers.
Mr.. Devlin further stated that the en-
gineers have not yet reported plans for
the building of dams or restraining bar
riers, and until such report is made Con-
gress cannot take any action in relation
to such matters. 1t is understood fur
ther that the laws Of Congress prohib-
lting hydraulic mining will not be
amended in any particular.

MILITIA SHOOTING
Early Target Practice Is Considered
Advisable

DENVER, Col, March 7.-Colonel
Hunt, in charge of the Department of
the Colorado, today issued an order
providing that the regular target prac-
tice of the soldiers in this department
be watched with special care and that
it take place several months earlier than
usual. Formerly the shooting has been
done in July and August, but this year
it will be done during May and June
The order applies to every post in the
department.
1t is also ordered that a certain amount
of practice with the Hotchkiss mountain
and machine guns be carried on in this
department. The tenor of the order
seems to indicate that unusual efforts
are being made to fit the soldiers of the
regular army for war.

REMAINS OF FERRIS
Held as Security for the Expenses of
Cremation

CHICAGO, March THE Chicago
friends of the late George W. Ferris are
much perplexed over the news from
Pittsburg that the ashes of the inventor
of the Ferris wheel are held by an un-
dertaker pending the payment of the
funeral expenses. They have written to
people in Pittsburg asking for more
definite information about the matter
and are reserving all action until replies
come to their inquiries. 1t is believed
they intend to pay the obligations.
The Western Society of Engineers, of
which Mr.. Ferris was a member, has
taken up the investigation of the matter
in a vigorous manner Alfred Noble,
President of the society, has written to
Pittsourg, but he is absent from the city
and it is not known whether a reply has
