Bearish Sentiment Prevailed In
the Wheat Fit During the
Early Trading
CROP REPORT WAS a FACTOR
Trade Was Only Moderate and Com
mission Houses Were Best Buyers
Receipts Were Larse-corn Opened
Easy on Liberal Offerings of May
and JuIy-cattIe and Hogs Steady.

Chicago, April A hearish senti-
ment prevailed in the wheat pit during
the first hour of trading and lower
prices were realized, May selling down
to 751s, after opening shade to 1sQA
OF a cent lower at ..3ss@73A. The
monthly crop report was decidedly
bearish and was largely responsible for
the easier tone of the market. There
was only a moderate trade, with COM
mission houses the best buyers. Min
neapolis and Duluth reported receipts
OF 232 cars and local receipts were
twenty -seven cars. making a total of
259, against 1919 last week and 252 a
year ago.
Corn opened easier, With liberal Of
ferings of May and July. Trading was
small and featufeless and there was lit
tie change in prices in the early part OF
the session. May held steady at 42A.
after opening u of a cent lower. Weak
ness in wheat and favorable weather
were bear factors. Receipts were l45
cars, two of contract.
There was only ligh. trade in oats.
and the tone of the market was some
what easier. along with other grains,
May opening shade lower at 3Sls q
$685.. Selling by commission houses
and scalpers soon carried the price
down to 3SA, with little support at the
decline. Receipts were 136 cars.
Provisions opened easier on general
liquidation. May pork was 2a cents
lower at 1870, May lard was off cents
at 9.S5, and ribs were down at 9.621s.
Offerings of pork were liberal and re-
suited in further break.

Tho k.nsa.-oo,orado o suit.

Senator Teller is needlessly alarm
ed in regard to the status of the de
fense to be made against the suit in
stituted by Kansas to prohibit or in
terfere with irrigation in the ArkaH
sas valley within the limits of this
state. We are sure that were he
fully informed in regard to the pur.
poses and intentions of Attorney
General Miller he would have no
question that the whole matter is
we'll in hand.
Under an order made by the su-
preme court just before it adjourned
in June for the summer vacation the
attorneys for Kansas were given un
til August Is to file an amended bill,
which they desired to file for the
purpose of making certain private
irrigators parties defendant. At the
same time Colorado was given until
the first of October to file an answer.
It is expected that shortly after the
Colorado answer is filed the attor.
neys for Kansas will be required to
file their reply, and that then the
court will appoint commissioner to
take evidence.
In the present status Of the case
there is no need of great array of
counsel, but as soon as the private
corporations and other irrigators are
brought into court by the amended
bill which Kansas will file on the tif-
teenth Of this month, SO many large
private interests will be involved
that some of the most able lawyers
in the state will appear as represent
atives of those interests. Thus the
services of these lawyers will be Sc
cured without cost to the state. If
Senator Teller we're fully informed
in regard to all these things he
would no longer question that suffi-
cient counsel will be secured to thor
ouRhly investigate the entire matter
and fully present it to the court.
It is fortunate that in the way
stated the services of able counsel
will be secured, since the money
available for the preparation of the
defense will not admit of the e1
penditure of much state money in
the employment of lawyers as direct
representatives Of the state. The
amount appropriated by the legislat-
The Lamar register., 1903-08-12

ure at its last session for the prepa-
ration of the defense was only $780,
600. OF this sum $4,000 will be
expended in making stream measure
ments and collecting other data, up
on which work State Engineer Car.
penter is now engaged. Probably
more than the $4,000 remaining
will be needed in paying the fees and
expenses of travel, employing stem
ographers and printing the volumin-
GUS evidence that will be presented.
Any one who is informed in re-
gard to the progress of this case
knows that it will require an enorm-
Gus amount of work to collect all the
evidence and digest the different Of
fetal reports that in the last thirty
or forty years have been made
some of them by Kansas officials-in
regard to the Arkansas river. Only
a short time ago, through the efforts
of man employed for that purpose,
a number of valuable reports were
discovered in the Kansas state libra
ry at Topeka bearing directly on
matters pertaining to the flow of the
Arkansas years ago and long before
there was any great diversion Of
water from that stream in this state.
In short, Attorney General Miller
has the matter we'll in hand. AT the
same time he is receiving the assist
ance of Judge Platt Rogers, one Of
the best irrigation lawyers in the
country. Judge Rogers, it may be
marked, did the principal part of the
work in preparing the first answer
fled by Colorado, and which was
followed by the request of the Kan
sas attorney general for leave to file
an amended bill.-Denver Republi-

ExpansIon Of tho currency.

The extent to which the circulat-
ing medium of the United States has
been expanded in recent years is one
of marvels of the time. The month
ly circulation statement just issued
by the treasury department shows
that the general stock of money Of
all sorts in the country on August l,
1908, was $2,895. .440,174, which was
. gain of $7.290,553 in the month.
The amount of the money in actual
circulation on August l was s2,3S2,
O18, ,496, a gain Of nearly S6,00O,OOo
in the month and of over $12l ,OOO,-
600 in twelve months. On the basis
of the estimated population OF the
country on August / this was a per
capita circulation OF $29.55, which is
the highest figure ever touched,
In the middle of 1896, at the time
of Bryan's reign of terror, the per
capita circulation was $21.lO. 1t
has, with few minor interruptions,
been increasing ever since. Bryan's
defeat in November, 1896, sent the
circulation up above the point at
which it rested in the early days of
his canvass, when there was some
dread that he would carry the coun-
try. It went up again just after the
republicans entered power in March,
1897. The general tendency has
been upward ever since, though
there was a decline several times in
those years, but only slightly, and
for few weeks at time. The $29.-
55 at which the circulation stood at
the beginning of the present month
will probably be exceeded at the be-
ginning of September. The chances
are that the $50 point in the expan-
sion will be reached before the end
OF the calendar year. loOo.
Moreover, not only has the circu-
lstion increased much faster than
the population, which is also growing
rapidly these days, but the gold in
gredient Of it is growing much fast
or than the rest of the currency. Oi
course, in these days of republican
financial stability and prosperity, al
sorts of currency are as good as gold
but it is we'll to keep the fact in
mind that the gold element of the
circulating medium is far more
abundant than it ever was before
Nobody is now saying that the cur
rency is not adequate to the demands
of trsde.-E1.
