CHICAGO, April Wheat today advanced
and parted company. with the. stock market:
Heavy sales of Gosh wheat by Letter and
others for shipment abroad and for milling
purposes at home overcame any sympathy
with a downward trend of stocks due to fear
of hostilities between Spain and the United
States The days trading resulted in a gain
of &c Blu in July wheat and 1ac in May.
Corn and oats were steady with wheat and
closed with little change. Provisions were
strong, but weakened later and closed 212q5c
lower.
Wheat opened firm, at prices unchanged to
sc higher than yesterdays closing figures
and, in the course of the first hours trad
ing, made further advance of nearly half
q cent. During this time, the volume of
business was considerably heavier than of
late. The strength was principally due to
the statement of Joseph Letter that he had
disposed OF 100000 blu cash wheat for ex-
port. Another bull help was the big falling
off In Argentine shipments since last week.
Northwestern receipts were light, Mime
Rpols and Duluth reporting N8 cars, against
received 50 cars 81 contract grade The ad-
dition to the contract stocks today amounted
to 1876, geo bu, 40 cars and $500 blu coming
from the mixing houses. Liverpool was up
A@3sd at the opening.
Under good demand from shorts and some
investment buying, July which had opened at
realizing sales, and slow decline ensued,
the price finally getting back to S23sc, around
which figure it hung for some time.
After the noon hour. the market began to
show the effects of the disturbing nature of
the news from Washington, and selling, which
had been light and scattered up to that time,
increased in volume. The liquidation, how
ever, only resulted In knocking the price
down TO S23sGS2l2c.
About this time talk Of further heavy cash
sales were circulated on the floor. Besides
the heavy sales reported early. Letter had
acceptances of 150,000 blu offered by cable
yesterday afternoon 100. goo bu for New York
and 100, 600 blu for domestic milling. Other
sales of 2OO0 900 bu were reported for export.
The remarkably heavy cash sales caused sell
ling to step very suddenly late in the ses-
sion, and drove a good many shorts to cover.
The market was decidedly strong toward the
close even May, up to that time almost at
a standstill, sharing in the frmness, July
rallied 10 Sac and closed at S27sgS3c. May
ranged from Sl.04 to S1.0SA, and closed at
$103A.
Corn was very slow. May ranged from
291sc TO 2S5sc, and closed unchanged at sc.
Oats were quiet May ranged from 2514c to
CSC. and closed sc higher at 251sc.
Provisions early were very strong. At top
figures however short selling and realizing
was too heavy for the market to stand up
under and prices gradually declined, market
closing rather easy at inside figures. May
pork closed TIC lower at $9.5212; May lard
2lac lower at $5.G71a and May ribs &c lower
az 500.
Estimated receipts Saturday: Wheat, IS
cars; corn, go ears; oats. 24o GAYS; hogs,
1890 head.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

GRAND TRUNK VICTORY.
Plan of the Kettle River Company
Approved at Ottawa.


OTTAWA, April 1.-The fiercest fight
ever put up against an American rail-
way interest in Canada resulted in the
triumph of the American promoters of
the Kettle Valley Railway company.
1t was, however, by narrow majority
of "a to 48, although the minister of
railways had come out f1at-footed in
favor Of the measure.
The lobbying done by the Canadian
Pacific railway against the bill was
wholly unprecedented here. The rea-
son is that over this American railroad
and associated roads, if their charter
can be had, the Grand Trunk will cross
the continent from it's Chicago terminus
and enter Southern British Columbia
from the United States side Of the
frontier, in competition with the Cana
dian Pacific railroad.
The contention of the Canadian Pa
cif1c was that it was a purely American
scheme to capture the undeveloped
wealth of the boundary creek, and
carry it over to the American side of
the line.
To meet this, the Corbin interest,
which Is promoting the road, guaran-
teed to build their smelter on the Brit
ish side. The region to be opened up
Is regarded by the government as
probably the richest mineral country in
all the Canadian territory.

Striking Feature,
NEW YORK, April 1.-The process which
went on in the stock market today was y
crumDllng and disintegrating of prices. There
was large and influential party in the
exchange who manifested their confidence in
a peaceful settlement between the United
States and Spain, and who increased values
OF securities by determined support of prices
all through the early dealings. The buying
by this element during the morning hours
was very large, but prices kept slipping
downward. The weight of the growing de-
preston proved too heavy to carry, and the
attempt was abandoned in the aftern BON,
wnen general and heavy liquidation was in
full force
Some feeble rallies at the close Indicated
that some part of the days decline was due
to short selling, but the recoveries from the
lowest were very small and net losses on
the day run from to over points in the
principal active stocks
The ground of the early confidence by
some operators that war would be averted
was shrouded in some mystery. 1t seems to
terest on the Spanish fours, which was paid
today In spite Of recent doubts whether the
money would be forthcoming was advanced
by the Rothschilds, and that the advance
was based on knowledge that the Spanish
government would make peaceful settle
ment of the demands of the United States.
All the indications usually regarded as
were very contradictory in the early trading.
American securities. after opening off in
London, improved before the opening here,
and advanced quite violently after trading
had commenced in New York. This early
weakness was in spite Of the fact that early
advices from Madrid were rather optimistic.
Spanish tours, which were traded in ex-cou-
pom, fell points in London before the rally
set in, and then recovered IN, apparently
on the early strength shown by the New
York stock market.
This early strength rallied prices several
times to cover last nights level and it was
not till afternoon that the market took on
decisive tone of weakness.
A significant feature of the day was the
marking up of call loans to per cent. This
was due to the calling Of moderate amount
of loans by the New York banks. But the
shifting of these loans developed a small
amount Of money offering, and the sharp
stiffening in rates was the consequence.
Exchange rates responded to the harden
ing of money by fractional decline, though
the days engagement Of gold for import was
only about half a million dollars. The
growth of the selling for Washington account
as the day progressed was an essential factor
in the late break in the stock market.
Bonds were not so active stocks, but
the volume Of liquidation increased as the
day progressed, and some sharp net losses
are shown. Totals sales, s1,65O,OOo. Govern

ROADS JOIN In A PROTEST
COMPLAIN OF UNJUST RECON-
MENDATION
Made by the Commissioner of the
Late Joint Traffic AssOciatiOn--
Object to an Advance That Will
If Put Into Eject Have to Be 4Ap-
piled to Business Destined to
Their Territory.

General Freight Agents Moore, of the
Northern Pacific; Somers, Of the Great
Northern, and Martin, of the 500 line,
have sent letter to G. r. Blanchard,
commissioner Of the late Joint Traffic
association, complaining against the
unjust recommendation In the freight
circular Of Mr.. Blanchard issued re-
Gently.
Mr.. Blanchard recommended that an
advance be made of the proportions
east Of Chicago, East st. Louis and
common junction points, of rates on
traffic for transcontinental territory
east of the Pacific coast terminals and
the Pacific divisions point taking ter
nainal rates.
The three freight officials understood
from the circular that it is the inten-
ton to exact the same revenue on
traffic for the far West, known as the
Pacific interior, the rates which are
directly influenced by the ocean COM
petition, as Is received for business
destined to local territory in North Da-
kota and Montana, or the same that
Is received on business FOR the state Of
Illinois.
In their letter Messrs. Moore Somers
and Martin said they feel the recon-
mendation an unjust one, as, while
they were unable to procure just recog-
milton from the association in the past
through the application of the divi-
sions which apply on terminal business
on traffic to interior points in Washing
ton and Oregon, the association recog
nized that there was difference and
afforded them q lower scale Of prices
on rates that would apply on business
to the interior, namely, seventy cents.
first class, etc.
The freight men cannot find any con-
ditions changed or any reason for an
advance in the terms of the lines in
the association, and have requested the
commissioner that the seventy-ce cent
scale be restored to apply upon the
interior transportation of traffic as
soon as possible in order that the divi-
sions may not be disturbed.
