WHEAT OPENED STRONG.

Decline at the Close

Chicago, April 20. = Wheat opened

July on higher cables and large accept
ances, advancing to 50 3-S, from which
there was a collapse at the close to
81 3-4aS7 rs.
The break was due TO a report from
New York that the Rothschilds had not
flied the Spanish government that they
were in no condition TO accept hostilitfes
in America. The rumor lacked confrma-
ton, but had its effect all the same.
Charters for wheat here were nearly
l.2OO, eco. New York claimed acceptances
of nearly 100000 bushels.

been taken even, and there is even queS-
ton if ii does not actually exist on ac-
count of the developments yesterday
there is speculative buying and an adj
vance of as high as three points as
result of the days business. There were
many rumors from Europe that even the
street should have refused to place any
credence in. It was said that the Pope is
still trying for peace and that the
rumors of last week that Austria and
perhaps another European power will
guarantee the Spanish dynasty If the
queen will give up Cuba had been con-
firmed by the acceptance of the offer by
Spain. 1t was also said that the Roths-
childs had notified Spain that they would
not provide her with war funds. From
this city there were rumorS that the
ultimatum was not in reality an ulti-
matum after all, and that no time limit
had been given to Spain in which the
answer must be made Every one of
these stories was palpably manufactured
for the occasion by the, people that are
trying to hold up the market It is diff
cult to understand how they could have
had the effect they did There is per-
haps more in the idea that the street
believes the war will be a. very small
affair than in any other reason for the
strength. The street is very certainly
mistaken in this and especially it is
mistaken, If there is any faith to be put
in indications. when it believes that there
will be no drop when hostilities begin, /
am of the opinion that there will be q
panic, and that there will be a drop of

Great Ease Continues in the Money Mar
ket-The Bond Market Reflects
Outside Influence.

New York, jan 2O.-Slight losses re-
suited from the days transactions in the
stock market. which was irregular and
depressed on the resumption of Cuban
and currency agitation at Washington,
giving courage to certain large bear in
terests. Recent professional manipula-
tion Of stocks is credited to people inter
ested in making a market for bonds ac-
Quired during reorganizations.
Western trade advices continued good
and were further reflected in favorable
traffic returns which were published to-
day by prominent lines
The market had hardly emerged from
its early hesitancy when liquidation and
short sales were apparent with resultant
sharp declines. Toward the close there
was a somewhat improved tone and in
creased activity.
London bought little on balance.
Pullman, Mobile & Ohio and National
Lead reflected the declaration of divi-
dens on the properties. Oregon i'm
provement advanced IL on an intima-
tion of possible changes in that COM
pany's relations with other properties
in the northwest The great activity
and strength of Northern American in
the final hour was based on rumors Of
a possible reconstruction of the COM
pany's business. New Jersey Central
and Delaware, Lackawanna & Western
declined 1l4 and points respectively.
Northern Pacific and Union Pacific
were purchased for London account.
The money market continues to dis
play extreme ease, round amounts being
offered at call, at . per cent. This con-
dition of affairs was regarded by some
of the leading exchange interests as Off
setting possible gold imports, which in
a measure would be justified by the cur
rent exchange situation.

ally called the pole-stacker. 1t is sim.
pie In construction, easily handled and
is not patented. Although in use
but two or three years the pole has
become universal favorite and can be
seen in many fields, corrals and stock
yards.
The material necessary for the pole
stacker consists of two poles 20 and 30
feet, or longer, as desired, three pull.
leys. two chains and two ropes. The
short pole, usually dry red pine or bal
sam, is set about three feet in the
ground after Stats have been nailed on,
or pins driven in auger-holes every two
feet, which makes ladder for getting
up and down when necessary to fix the
top chain or drop the lifting-pole. A
short chain Is fastened around the
standng-pole and left to drop about
two feet, where il hooks around the
stacker. This gives the pole plenty OF
play and enables the man on the stack
or wagon to swing it around at will.
The long pole is chained at the butt end
with a chain which regulates the height
Of the stack and holds the stacker in
place after being swung around for the
hay on the wagon. The pulleys, ropes
and fork are handled as with other
stackers.-Joel Shoemaker, in Farm and
