BULL FORCES
RULED GRAIN
In Spite of a Number of Early
Bearish influences.
JULY WHEAT is HIGHER
Opening Expression Was on
Account of Weather.

Chicago, June 1o.-There was fair bull
forces 10 the rather dull grain market
today in spite of a number of early bear
ish influences. There was an early sag ali
around but fair support and manipulation
overcame the depression and July wheat
closed sc higher. July corn 1sal4c up and
July oats were unchanged. July provis-
ions closed 23za5c TO S71kc higher.
Warm. dry weather and lower cables
that indicated improving weather abroad
depressed wheat at the opening Outside
markets also were weak. Trade was not
inclined to do much one way or the other
and as usual one government crop report
today assumed something of a waiting
attitude. The crop report was expected
TO show considerable Improvement over
last months figures and some of the
crowd started to anticipate its bearish
effect by selling. This was true in out
side markets and in several cases the pits
were oversold. Minneapolis started a re-
action. There was some fair covering and
elevator interests did some good buying.

mary receipts were small at 265000 COM
pared to 632 900 last year. Sesboard clear
anees equalled 81, 900 bushels.
The fine weather was handicap to the
bull argument in corn at the start. but
it soon gave way to the support of the big
bull interests. Country acceptances were
not so free and were reported gradually
falling off. Arrivals hero were liberal at
sos cars, but the receipts at this point are
expected to diminish soon. Business was
dull. July went early to e2ss. rallied TO

Oats ruled dull but steady. Bearish crop
reports were expected today from the
government bureau and this. together
with the improved weather depressed
prices. July sold at SSc UP to SS@4c and
closed steady, unchanged at Ss1zc.
Provisions were very dull but strong.
Hogs were weaker but packers held stuff
for higher prices and advanced the quo
tations on few artificial sales. Ribs were
strongest and made the astonishing jump
OF sTikc 1t is said there is a large short
interest In provisions that figures that
prices are abnormally high. Most of the
little buying was done by this crowd. July
pork closed 22lsc up at s17.7215; July lard

PEACE CONFERENCE.


DOVE "Ut~Oex NJ rpetOTAe-WOTs
End May he Near
London, April IA dispatch from
Pretoria says:
"Acting President Schaikburger Gen
erals Louis Botha. Lucas Meyer and
Delarey. Mr.. Steyn and General De
Wet have arrived here ON special
train from Klerksdorp"
The foregoing dispatch marks the
taking of very important step in the
direction Of peace In South Africa. 1t
indicates that the Boer leaders who
have been comforting at KlerksdOrp
have at the least come to an agreement
as to the terms on which an under
standing may be reached. Recent re-
ports had tended to create an impress
sion that the negotiations might fall
through because of the irreconcilable
views held by some Of the Boer lead
ers.
Negotiations, it may be assumed,
will be begun between Lord Kitchener
and the party which has arrived at
Pretoria. Had the result of the Klerks-
dorp conferences been unfav0rable to
peace the probability Is that General
Botha, Mr.. Steyn and Generals De Wet
and Delarey at least would not have
gone to Pretoria.
: There is but one topic of conversation
in London now. Everywhere at the
clubs, hotels and theaters men are ask
ing one another how soon the govern
ment will announce the result Of the
peace conference now being held in
South Africa. There is a feeling pre-
vailing in all circles that the end is in
sight
1t Is stated that the probability Of
peace is now so strong that the post
ponement Of the budget was due to Sir
Michael Hicks Beac chs DESIRE as, should
peace be declared, the government will
need much less money. 1t is stated on
excellent authority that up to the pres
ent everything is favorable to peace on
terms very similar to those offered by
Lord Kitchener at Middleburg a long
time ago.
1t is realized that the greatest danger
to the present negotiations lies in the
attitude which Mr.. Kruger and DR..
Leyds may take.

MR. Lodge (Mass.) delivered a speech
in support of the pending bill, although
he antagonized that provision which

diers, have started on the first pilgrim

The imperial party will be absent
from the capital Il fortnight, and during
that time public business will be sus-
pended.
The assembling of the troops forming
the escort has afforded an opportunity
for the circula ton Of baseless native
rumors that the object of the gathering
is an attack on foreigners.
Reports from the central and south
ern provinces agree that there is Il
growing resentment in these rich dis
tricts, which did not participate In the
Boxer movement. against paying the
largest share of the foreign indemnity.
The officials of these provinces incite
this feeling by issuing sinister procla-
nations commanding the payment of

New York, April 14.-John w. Gates
has won decided victory over the
board of directors of the Louisville and
Nashville railroad, who have been fore
ed to settle their outstanding short con-
tracts at terms practically fixed by Mr.
Gates himself. At the same time the
great railroad system which the elder
August Belmont left as a heritage to
his son, August Belmont, Jr, has pass
ed out of the control Of the family and
now rests in the hands of the shrewd
western Spectator and his friends
The fight has been a short, sharp and
decisive one, in which Mr.. Gates has
completely outgeneraled his opponents.
He has had behind him, however, the
First National bank, the Illinois Saw
ings Bank and Trust company, Henry
G. Frick, the Moore brothers, who con-
troll the Rock Island railroad, and q
group of Chicago millionaires who
made their money selling out their vast
steel interests to the United States
