PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, April 16.-The wheat
market was quiet but firm to-day, in
f1uenced by foreign damage reports,
the corn strength and better foreign
bids, May closing Nc over Saturday.
May corn closed 3sc up and May oats
3sc depressed. AT the close provis-
ions were firm sc higher in lard to 10c
lower in pork.
Wheat was rather quiet all the ses-
sion, as the foreign markets were still
closed in celebration of Easter. For
eign bids were reported improved
and New York had 20 loads taken for
export. The cash business was mod
crate on a demand from millers alb
sorbing about $4,000 bushels. At the
outset the market was easy because
needed rains had fallen in the west
and southwest, but the corn strength
caused a reaction of sentiment among
shorts and initial figures proved to be
the lowest of the day. The rally was
further aided by report that Chill
would have to import wheat owing to
heavy damages to the domestic crop
and another from Kieff, Southwestern
Russia, reporting serious damages
there A further consideration point
ed out was the probability of a de-
creased acreage in the northwest
where farmers are supposed to favor
planting to raise high-priced fiaxseed.
The visible decreased slightly and the
other statistics were about as prepar-
ed for Saturday. Primary receipts
were $4,000 bushels compared with
$4,000 bushels last year. Atlantic
port clearances in wheat and flour
were equal to 100000 bushels. Mimi
eapolis and Duluth received 400 cars
against COS last week and 300 a year
ago. Local receipts were As cars, one
of contract grade. May opened 80
Ac under Saturday at 66A @66ssc; adj
vanced to 66& @667sc, declined to 66A
@66ssc and then rallied closing firm
Ac higher at 66$4c.
In corn the deal was largely local.
The market was firm the greater part
of the time, but not very animated.
The rain which was regarded as fav-
orable to the wheat crop was viewed
from the corn pit as thing which
would delay planting as we'll as hind
ering the movement. The increase in
the visible of 1,700000 bushels caused
a dip following it's announcement, but
as the offerings thus made were read
lily absorbed, the market reacted and
closed firm. The cash demand was
generally reported slow, although one
firm claimed to have sold Is loads for
export. Receipts here were 412 cars.
New York reported 80 loads taken for
export. May sold from 39Ac to 1880
and closed ssc improved at 3e5sc.
The provisions market opened low
err under the influence of depressed
prices at the yards, but reacted. Pork
did not regain all its loss, but lard
and ribs succeeder in doing so. There
was a good investment demand, which
to all appearances caused the recovery.
May pork ranged from s12 so to s12 IS
and closed 10c under Saturday at
s12 TN, May lard from 81 221a to
81 35, closing sc higher at 81 321a, and
May ribs from 81 15 to 81 221a, with
the close unchanged at 81 22La.
The oats market was dull and weak
all day. There was plenty for sale
and a poor deman for it. May sold
from 24@241sc I'd IR1k@2sssc and
closed sc depress NC Local
receipts were 212 G -

Stocks-The stock market, after
making an Indifferent struggle all day
against the forces of depression, yield
ed all around in the last hour and
closed under severe pressure and with
prices on rapidly descending scale.
transactions were large all day and the
railroad list made considerable show
OF strength in the opening dealings
but there was heavy selling in the
iron and steel stocks. But some of the
railroad stocks were bid up confidently
in the face of violent declines in this
group. Missouri Pacific was buoyant
and carried the whole of the south
western group with it. This stock
went to 619sc and it's influence promis-
ed at one time to overcome the reac-
tionaTy forces but it fell suddenly to
Thursdays level and the whole list
fell heavily in sympathy. No definite
news was forthcoming to account for
the weakness of the iron and steel
shares beyond the assertions that the
large selling was for account of i'm
portant inside interests. Wall street
is confident that the selling orders in
these stocks came from Chicago and

cffic and other western railroad stocks

noralization in the metal stocks Late
IN the day rumor took form that
there was to be extensive shutting
1nmn of Mo Mt in, hn ta1
companies on the ground of oyerpro-
iuction in anticipation of business dur
ing the early part of this year which
had not materialized. American steel
and wire and Federal steel led the de-
cline in point of activity and weakness.
At the extreme declines in the group
were Tennessee Coal and Iron9; Steel
and Wire S1a; Federal Steel 7%; Amer
lean Hoop 44. There were a few rail-
road stocks besides the southwestern
group which made a stand against the
weakness but the majority of railroad
stocks closed at from l to 2 points
under Thursdays last prices. There
was general feeling that the advance
in prices on the strength of the general
outlook had about reached its limit.
1t had been hoped that last week s
reaction would bring in new buyers
and result in new upward movement
of prices. The failure of the early Of
forts to-day to get prices up caused
disappointment and uneasiness and
when prices began to crumble large
speculative holdings were thrown over.

London exchange which was closed,

RUHLIN LOSES.
OF His Fight with Bob
Fitssinmons.

New York, Aug. 11.--Bob Fitzsim-
mons, of Australia, but now an Amer
lean citizen, met Gus Rubin, the Ak
ron giant, Friday night before the
Twentieth Century club at Madison
Square garden and won by knocking
the 0hioan down and out in the sixth
round. 1T was fierce and bloody bat
tie while it lasted, and at times it
looked as il Rubin would get the bet
ter of the older man, but Fitzsimmons
at the proper time would cut loose
with his fearful. body blow, which
finally snuffed out the ohio boxers
light.
Just once Fitz touched the floor,
when he slipped down from a clinch
at the end of round. In the sixth
round Rubin was slow in coming to
time while Fitzsimmons jumped at
his man. Fitzsimmons got around
Rubin, and while the latter sent
straight lefts for Fitzsimmons' head,
Bob sidestepped safely and landed left
on the body and right to the head.
With volley of lefts and rights to
the head and neck, and with fearful
left on the solar pleXus Fitzsimmons
sent Rubin ina heap to the floor. This
was the beginning of the end that
soon followed. Rubin, after taking
nine seconds of the count arose. to
his feet groggy from the effects of
the blow. Fitzsimmons knew he had
his man, and was ready for him As
soon as Rubin got up, Fitzsimmons
rushed, sending two lefts to the face
and then shot his right with fearful
force to the point Of Ruhlin's jaw.
Gus pitched forward as II struck with
an AK and fell on his face to the
floor, where he was counted out, and
had to be carried to his corner
