HEARD FROM THt PREMIER.

Mr.. Conrad Receives an Encouraging Let
ter From Sir wiifred Laurier.
Great Falls, March :s.-Some time
ago w. G. Conrad. a president of the
Great Falls Business Mems association,
wrote to Sir Wilfred Laurier, premier
of Canada, urging him to encourage the
building Of a railway from Edmonton
to Athabasca Landing, a distance OF IS
or so miles. In his letter he explained
that II was to the interest of Eastern
Canada hat the western part of the
country should be quilt up and devel-
oped. and that when that work had
been lone the profit would be as great
as IL all of the goods which are now
being shipped by way of Seattle and
other coast points and hen to Skag-
uay and in over the trail were sent d.
rect through Edmonton: h present
route vas doing the intermediate coun-
try BOT as much good as 1t would do
this country to W. the New York
consignments for Idaho shipped around
the Cape and reach their destination
by way of San Francisco.
A note expressing the premier's graft
itude for the suggestions was received
by Mr.. Conrad this morning. and 1t
intimates hat something is likely to be
done. 1t is a coincidence that just
about the same time that Mr.. Conrad
was writing this letter to the premier
the people of Calgary were
in mass meeting and were passing res
olutions on the subject, addressed to
the same person and employing about
the same line of argument.

MARK


Chicago. March 29.-wheat opened ex-
ceedingly weak. initial trades in July
ranging from s3asc to ssisc. or S@7sc un-
der yesterdays closing price. May was
a cent lower, at 81 oih. and declined at
once to $1.0i.
The future, however, was little heard
from. and remained at that price with
scarcely a trade of note until late In the
session. Some July selling orders were
prominent at first. and II took but a brief
time to break the price to s2Asc.
The break in Wall street stocks and the
days developments at Washington Gre
ated decided uneasines among holders.
and led to the almost total withdrawal
of influential support from the market.
The situation as to Cuba, indeed, consti-
tuted about the only feature of the mar
ket, as little else was given any attention.
The market continued to drop for an
hour. getting down as low at s2Asc. when
buying against puts caused a rally to
s25Ac. Outside of this demand there was
little buying from any source. and the
market again sagged, although slowly,
until around the noon hour. Then great
er weakness was developed. The pro-
ceedings in the senate resulted In a lot
of long property coming on the market,
and increased the volume of short SELLING
in a marked degree. July breaking un-
der the pressure TO Sl&c. Then the mar
! ket hardened under a covering movement,
which assumed respectable proportions
for A time, and caused "A rally to S2eSc.
Near the close "A sharp break In May,
caused by the attempt To market a fairly
large line on an unsupported market, re-
suited in renewed activity among the
July bears. and prices slipped of again In
n very short time TO s1%c.
After the Liquidation in May was over
Letters brokers had no difficulty in bidding
the price. which had fallen to N.olls. up to
81 .OiL again. and this quick reaction
caused a little better feeling in July. The
market rallied 20 s1kas2c. and closed at
that figure.
There was quite heavy selling in long
corn all day. and the market was weak
from the start. The break was altogeth-
or in sympathy with wheat and the
Washington news.
Oats were rather slower and weak. Ia
auidation which marked the early hour
was i'm sympathy with the wheat break
Support was not lacking, however, and
caused a slight recovery.
Provisions were irregular, though fn
the main weak. Washington news caused
a good deal of uneasiness among hold
ers. and this and the depression In grain
prices, were the features of the selling.
