Count Won Posadowsky- Wehner
again warned the committee not to inn
pede the negotiations for the CONNER
cial treaties by providing for excessive
duties, which would not only place the
government in a false position toward
other countries, but would also foster
unjustifiable expectations at home.
which later would prove fallacious.
The committee adopted clauses A, IFS

proposed by the government.
The committee fixed the duty on
fresh unpacked apples, pears and
ounces at 21a marks, except in October
and November, when they will be free

Chicago. April 1O.-There was
change to the bearish sentiment in
grains at the opening today. Weak
cables and favorable crop news We're
the bearish features. May wheat
started A@as to '8GM of a cent lower
at 70 to IT'S. Locals sold fairly and
commission houses bought. Trade was
not large. May dipped to 71&@717s,
but recovered to 10, and steadied.
The selling side was a faNorite one
in wheat turnout nearly all of the ses-
sion, and May sod down to 711a. Corn
helped in the reaction late, but May
closed weak, as@ V off at IT'S.
Weak cables and better weather and
an easier feeling in wheat depressed
corn slightly. May started u to as of a
cent lower at ISIS to 5S3a and eased to
5S% to ssh. Commission houses sold
freely, but prices rallied and steadied
around 5S5s.
Corn slipped down with wheat until
1t sold at ssh @5s%. 1t closed, however
strong, influenced by liberal covering.
May had good recovery late and
closed firm, ls@A up at 59@59h.
In sympathy with other grains May
oats opened u of a cent down at AN,
and sold at 42ss and eased to AZ, where
it steadied. Receiving houses bought

Provisions had the influence of a
good hog market to help them in anoth

many parts of the state the plant does
not respond in condition as it should

that the plant is weak" A Lyons,

| Special to Times RepuDllCdH.
Des Moines, April 10.-Farmers and
| stock men all over the state are becom-
ing concerned over the drouth which is
prevailing almost all ever Iowa. There
has been no rain this spring and the
winter was about the same as 1T has
been for several years past. What will
be the outcome if the spring continues
without rain is causing every one
great deal of anxiety, who has anything
to do with the crops and farm interests
of the state. The conditions for seed
ing are not as bad as might be sup
orally moist under the surface. This
has been found to be the case in most
sections of the state by the farmers. In
the southeastern part particularly is
this true.
This was one of the dryest sections
of the state last summer, and most OF
the farmers feared that the ground
would be so hard as to make seeding
difficult. In this they have been agree
ably disappointed, however, and are re-
porting little difficulty in getting their
crops out. All join in the statement
that rain is badly needed, however. Not
only for the crops is rain needed, but
for water. Wells have been going dry
every day. and many of the farms are
almost without water. A spring is of
great value. and many of the farmers
are compelled to either drive their
stock to water every day or haul water
to them. This Is a great inconvenience
and takes up time that is needed for
other work at this season of the year.
The wells seem to have entirely given
out in some sections of the state. This
is serious situation for the stock men
of the state, and many of them are in
position that will make it impossible to
keep their stock much longer unless the
drouth is broken.

dred thousand bushels of May wheat in
the ST Louis grain pit. The sales were
made by the Hubbard Moffitt Com

sis of sales was 80 cents.
1t is understood that the people who
have the May option sold mostly in this
market are Chicago board of trade
houses, which, in order to give recipro-
cal business to st. Louis grain houses
in exchange for speculative business,
sent them by the latter, sold May wheat
