and May oats closed each a shade down.
May pork closed 15c depressed. May lard

Up to fifteen minutes of the end of the
session the wheat market was dull and
steady at a fractional decline from yes
terday's close. Business was almost en-
tirely in the hands of scalpers. The heavy
snowfall over the wheat belt was the bear
ish influence, but the market bore up
against it with great fortitude till the pa
thence of holders was exhausted, and they
utilized the last quarter of an hour in rid
ding themselves of burden which nobody
seemed to want. May opened 1sG4c lower
at 657sG66c and touched 661sc early, but
the major portion of the rest of the ses-
sion fluctuations were between 657sd66c.
The slump which wound UP the day car
ried May from 657sc TO 65.sc, and the close
was weak, %G1c under yesterday at 65lsG
651.c New York reported ten loads taken
for export. Atlantic port clearances in
wheat and flour were equal to 900 BUSH

compared with 900 last year. Minneap-
oils and Duluth reported 523 cars, against
5O4 last week and 400 a year ago. Local
receipts were A cars, none of contract
grade. The cash demand was slack, al
though $1,000 bushels it was reported, were

The delays and embarrassments of the
storm had a dulling effect on the corr
market and the pit was very quiet. Coun-
try offerings were small and served as
support although the shipping demand was
very slack The break in wheat cost the
coarse cereal only shade at the end. Lo-
cal receipts were 359 cars Al cars under the
estimate. May ranged from 35lsc to 341sn

The close yesterday was at 23ssG2312c. Re-
ceipts here were 139 cars, IL cars under the
estimate. The snow kept many traders
from business, a condition which materially
contributed to the stagnation.
Provisions were weak. There was scat
tered liquidation throughout the day and
little outside demand. On the decline there
was considerable stop-loss selling by COM
mission houses. which helped along the
weakness There was some demand for

this was soon satisfied. May pork sold

One thing Is certain in respect of this matter Of

allowed to grow beyond the possibility of being
thoroughly examined by government authority.
That we take to be axiom. Examina tion need
not be frequent. but when made II IL of no value
unless II be thorough. SO. to examine a company
which had attained the limit proposed in this bill
would require not much less than n year. The
conclusion is plain enough-that the limit is not
unreasonably low.
The bill is good because effect of It will
be to moderate the competition between these COM
panies as they approach the limit. The competi-
ton Is now too not, although there have been
times when 1t was hotter. And of that COM
petition have grown evils to the whole business

TELLER on THE CURRENCY BILL.
HE THINKS TOO MUCH POWER is GIVEN
TO THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.

Washington, March a.--The Senate held brief
I session to-day, adjourning early on account of the
death Of Representative Epes. OF Virginia
Mr.. Teller criticised the conference report on
the Currency bill. He maintained that much
power given to the Secretary Of the Treasury
and he opposed all the provisions Of the
measure. He did not believe 1t was a good thing
to extend the public debt. but he did think the
gold standard could be maintained without It, Mr.
Teller asserted there had been effort the last
twelve years to reduce the public debt would
there be by the Republican party. He asked why
with all the money in the Treasury, 1t could
be used to current expenses instead of issuing
bonds
Mr.. Allison replied that this would prevent any
evil effects from a possible endless chain" and
to prevent drain the Treasury.
Mr.. Teller said that the power conferred on the
Secretary Of the Treasury under the proposed law
practically unlimited. He thought that, ex-
cept in extreme cases. 1T mistake give un-

Charles Henry Butler. the lawyer said in regard
TO the 100000 appropriation bill that 1t would
have no effect whatever upon the litigation, =
Congress could relieve the Collector or the

other.
