HOGS WERE STRONG
Some Sales Made at Advance
Over Wednesday.
TOP PRICE WAS $500
Cattle Market Was Active
Prices Strong.

Hogs were strong here yesterday. The
opening was steady, but later in the day
the reports indicated that other western
markets were about steady and the natu-
ral heavy demand here forced up the
prices somewhat. Many Of the sales were
made at figures a shade higher than the
previous day, If quality be taken into
consideration, while a few loads undoubt-
edly sold at an advance of about Oh
cents.
The quality yesterday was generally
fair, but not so good as the previous
day. There were two or three good,
choice loads in and these sold strong.
The greater part of the run was COM
posed Of mixed loads, with a good scat
tering Of rough packers. The quality,
however, was fair and about the av-
erage, but not as good as the runs the
first part of the week
The receipts yesterday were light The
aggregate number of hogs received be-
Ing somewhat less than a week ago,
when 1890 came in. The run of wagon
hogs was rather light. They were, how
ever, Of good quality. The car lots ar
rived quite early, and the market closed
about the usual time.
The top price of the day was IS 20,
the same as the previous day. The bulk
OF the hogs sold at LOGS. 10, the bulk
OF the two days ranging about the same.
although many more hogs sold for the
higher figure than did on the previous
day.
The market compared well with other
western ones. st. Louis quoted the mar
ket strong to cents higher at the OPEN
ing, but later it broke and the close
was weak with the advance lost. Chi
cago and Kansas City quoted hogs as
being about steady.

Need Of Patience With Slow Justice
Is Adm tied. Though DeDIOred.

New York, April .J.-After a morning
and afternoon session at Carnegie hall
the ecumenical conference had two cen
tral meetings tonight, one at the Car
negie hall and one at the Central Pres
byJerian church. The first and chief pa
per Of the evening at Carnegie hall was
read by President James b. Angel of
the University of Michigan and ex-min-
lister to Turkey. His subject was Some
Present Problems in the Relations of
Missions to Governments" In the course
of his address he said:
The government which breaks treaties
with respect TO missionaries and sees
that their own government takes no steps
to project them will easily yield to the
temptation to infringe on the rights of
other citizens. 1t is not possible that be-
cause our government has allowed out
RACES against our missionaries 10 go on

high-minded a manner to prevent by
false allegations t. importation Of our

lows one class of citizens who are OF the
purest character and most unselfsh
spirit to be insulted and outraged with
impunity in a foreign land must not be
surprised II other classes of its citizens

that land, wherever selfish interests are
invoked against them. A display of force
does not necessarily mean war. It IS Ger

HORROR AND
BLOODSHED
Continued from First Page,

Charge D'Afaires Griscom yesterday
handed 10 Tewfik Pasha, minister OF for
eign affairs, a note based on instructions
he had received from Washington, the
tenor of which has not yet been made
public. 1t is understood, however, that
it demands prompt payment Of the in
demnity. The note will be discussed at
the council of ministers today. Similar
steps by the other powers are regarded
as imminent. Charge Griscom. in the
present circumstances, declines TO ex
press his views. The only issue at Sres-
ent, however, is III execution Of the
Porte's repeated promises to Minister
Straus to pay the indemnity. After Mr..
Straus left the matter remained in abey-
ance until the Associated Press dis3atch
from Washington sharply reminded the
Turkish government that the question
required urgent attention. The Porte
Immediately telegraDhed to the Turkish
minister at Washington, asking for ex-
plantations for reported strained relations
The minister replied that he had cabled
the state department and was informed
that the situation had not yet assumed q
serious character The words mot yet"
seem TO have impressed the Porte and
on the strength of this information the
sultan issued an trade in regard to the
Kharput matter which ne hoped would
serve as a SOP and defer pressure in the
demands for indemnity although it is
generally recognized that permission TO
rebuild will be Of little value to the mis-
siOnaries without the payment OF IN
demnity.
Another trade. issued April Is, orders
Rear Admiral Ahmed Pasha to proceed
to America in order to study the con-
struction of battleshios.
Washington. April 26.-It IS learned
that the note of Mr.. Griscom. United
States charge at ConstantinoDle, is
founded on the state departments in
structions to press vigorously the claim
for indemnity already lodged with the
Porte. The note is not an ultimatum in
any sense, but is in continuation of the
expressed determination of the state de-
partment to exhaust all peaceful and
proper means TO secure settlement of
these American claims. 1t is not doubted
that the Turkish government would
speedily meet our desires in the matter,
could the claims be adjusted privately,
and without the knowledge of the Euro
pean ambassadors in Constantinople. but
this is imDracticable. and the Turkish
government is, it is said embarrassed at
the necessity of settling all the claims
of European countries for large sums of
money, should the American claims be
allowed.
The expectant attitude of the European
diplomatic agents in Constantinople dur
ing the active prosecution of the nego-
tations is probably the basis for such
stories as that put afoat to the effect
that the Russian government was secretly
backing Turkey in opposition to the set
Element with the United States. 1t is
realized that the Turkish government IS
not at all averse to the spread Of a be-
lief in the truth of this story. but it is
held here that there is no foundation in
fact tor #.

All Other Markets on the
Down Grade.

Chicago, April 2S.-Corn was the lead
Helped by higher cables and a large gen.
eral demand, the market was broad and
buoyant early, but lost it later, closing
weak, Aq2sc under yesterday. Wheat
closed weak. 14Q9sc to &c down. Oats
closed 15@Ac depressed, and provisions
a shade to 21k@5c lower.
The corn market opened erratically be-
cause many had expected a rush of sell
ing orders in place of which some Of
the influential people were buyers. The
influences We're the strength of Liver
! pool. particularly for spot, and the re-
ports Of delay in seeding due to the
mains. A broad general demand devei-
oped at the start and the price went up
on the jump. At the top the demand
slackened. The cash business was poor,
and New York reported only 10 loads
taken for export-a poor showing in COM
parison with recent export business.
Under these conditions the market pro-
| ceeded to relinquish its early gains and
the result was weak close. May ranged
from 4eas to 1890 and closed 14c down, at
3912c; July from Az to 401zc, closing 4

In the wheat pit at the opening dis
appointment was felt at the cables,
which did not reflect the advance lele
yesterday. In addition to this, the
weather was reported perfect and the
crop prospects excellent. With these
facts in mind the beginning of trade saw
the market easy and depressed. The corn
strength, however, was felt almost i'm
mediately and under that influence wheat
rallied, shorts covering freely. With the
talent bearish the break in corn was
readily followed, early buyers selling

Lard was the main item in the provis-

BIG EARNINGS INCREASE
Reported From Several Sys-

New York, April 2.-The stock market
developed an impressive show OF strength
during the latter part Of today. The
principal influence in the rise was ie-

stocks has been accompanied by runors

The news of the very heavy OUTLAWS n

but today the report OF probable in
crease in the Pennsylvania dividend rate
took form again, and was circulated
with great explicitness. Bide were made
on the board for the next semi annual
dividend on Pennsylvania on thousands
Of shares OF stocw 2 ga per cent compar-
ed with 1-2 per cent, the last rate.
These reports in regard 10 Pennsylvania
had the most indirect influence in Balu-
more and Ohio stocks, next 10 Pennsyl-
vania itself, but the whole railroad list
responded in varying degree to the !nflu-
ence OF this movement These pools
whose operations for a rise were inter
rupted by the steel and wire episode re-
sumed their operations to some extent.
This was notably true of the Gould
Southwestern group, which are subjects
of teeming rumors of perspective COM
binations or consultations. The deter
mined irmness of Sugar and its buoyant
upturn lated had sympathetic effect on
the market. The movement is still at
trfbuted to the damend from the shorts,
but the many assertions of favorable de-
velopments in the trade war may have
had their effect. A number Of unusually
favorable railroad statements also had
strengthening effect on the market. In
creases in net earnings were reported by
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe of 80
per cent; by the Hovking Valley railway
OF 105 per cent, and by the Central Of
George of 30 per cent. Returns OF gross
earnings for the third week in April were
also uniformly favorable. These factors
Of strength caused growing uneasiness
among the rather unwieldy short interest
and the demand from that element had
no small part in the rally in the market.
