WHEAT ABOUT STEADY
THERE HAS BEEN LITTLE CHANGE
IN PRICES DURING THE PAST
WEEK
DEALINGS HAVE BEEN LIGHT
War in the TransvaaI Did Not Have
the Anticipated Effect Upon Grain
Prices-Corn Is Stemdy-Oats Show
No Special Features-StOck Deal
ings Still Dependent Upon the
Money Market.


The wheat market has proved rather
disappointing, In so far as prices were
concerned, the past week With the prac-
teal declaration of war in the Trarsvaal,
there was every reason TO believe that the
grain market would take on q stronger
tone, and, after hostilities were actually
commenced. the belief grew that wheat
and corn would be benefited and prices
materially strengthened. But those who
were more confident were disappointed,tor
there has been practically no change to
speak Of In wheat prices. decline from
the figures of the previous Saturday be-
ing in evidence and the demand show
ing so little improvement that there is no
disposition on the part of the bull element
to attempt to force conditions to more
favorable stage, In brief, wheat Is no
better off at the close of the week than
at the opening, in spite of the existence
of war
CORN AND OATS
There has been fairly active demand
for corn at former quotations. but there
has been no gain in prices worth mention
ing The export demand has shown some
Improvement, but not sufficient to mate
rally strengthen prices.
Oats have no more than held their own,
and the demand has been about nominal.
1t was believed that oats would certain
ly share in the increased demand for
grain, and there were many trades made
during the week upon that presumption.
STOCKS RULED SLOW.
The stock market has heen anything but
active the past week, and yet there is
no marked weakness in any Of the stand
ard securities. Especially applicable IS this
statement to the railroads, which have
held their own throughout all the victssi-
tudes of the stock market the past few
months. The money market has ruled
higher Of late, and. despite the efforts of
the government to assist In relieving the
tension there is still a certain amount
of Wariness in dealings shown that indi-
Gates that spectators are not yet satisfied
that money is to remain easy, but that
hardening is among the constant possibil1-
ties. There has been no indication of a
scare such as might bring about panic
but dealers are evidently holding off until
the market gets into more settled state

Courteous but unhygienic was the
act of President Mckinley, when he
recently rode bareheaded through the
streets of Boston on a bitter winters

president who has risked health and
life by the same needless exposure. If
etiquette upholds or condones the
courteous act, then etiquette should
be condemned. For some reason our
people seem to think that presidents
have no more right to cover their

Washington. April 16-After hearing
from the British and German embas-

the three parties TO the Berlin treaty
had agreed upon the instructions To be
given their Samoan commissioners,
and that ii was certain that the com
mission would leave San Francisco on
the 10Th inst. for Samoa on the Badger.
The instructions of the commission
ers are identical. the three govern
ments having accepted form which
settles the differences which have eX-
listed up 10 this point. The commission
will be empowered to deal with the
situation as ii finds ii in the Samoan
islands upon its arrival. This applies

the islands in peaceful and salts

and whatever the commission does In
this direction is understood to he of a
temporary character and subject to the
