NINE OWNERS CLASH
AT ANNUAL MEETING
Discordant Time at OroviIle Dredg-
ing Company's Election.

The stockholders of the Oroville
Gold Dredging and Exploration Com
pany. who have been fighting bitterly
in the local courts for control of that
property, held their annual meeting
at the offices of the corporation in the
Crocker building yesterday. John
Hays Hammond. Ernest A. Wiltsee
and their financial associates in New
York and Chicago, who were ad-
versed last week by Judge Sloss in
an attempt to enjoin F. W. Bradley.
Charles Crocker and others from vot-
ing 10000 shares of stock. which IL
was claimed the latter were wrong
fully holding. were represented at the
meeting by J. z. Doolittle and Attor-
ney Jesse Lilienthal. The opposing
faction was also represented by legal
advisers. under whose direction the
meeting progressed. Bradley presided
and was kept busy listening TO formal
protests to every move made by the
majority of the stockholders, who
were represented mainly by proxies
held by the president. 1t was evi-
dent that the Hammond faction in the
company will not rest on the ruling
made by Judge Sloss and that Attor-
ney LilienthaPs frequent protests on
behalf of his clients was a preliminary
move TO a civil action which the latter
have threatened to bring to overcome
the barrier placed before them by the
recent decision. At the election of Of
ficers Bradley was reelected president
of the company and two of his busi-
ness associates, G. W. Goodwin and
Alexander Granger, were chosen as
directors. The minority secured two
places on the board. naming as their
choice Doolittle and Lilienthal. John
Hays Hammond and party Of cap
italists interested in the company are
expected in this city in a few weeks
and will, so it is reported, proceed to
court in another attempt to remove
Bradley and his followers from con-
troll of the mining property.

Future Grain and Provisions.

CHICAGO April Ie-A bearish mood from
the start in wheat was induced by lower
cables and an official forecast OF showers and
warmer temperatures for Kansas. July opened
unchanged 10 Il lower at S6hc TO SIC. Oner-
ings quite liberal and apparently there
was little inclination to support the market
The desire TO sell was increased by Kansas
State reports. which made the condition Of
winter wheat SS. compared with 49, as re-
ported from Washington. Although advices
from Indiana, Michigan and Ohio in
ststent regarding the seriousness of crop dam
age in those States the traders seemed dis
inclined to pay heed An impression appeared
fixed that prevailing prices more than dis
counted any damage TO the crop as a who're.
There was little other news OF a character
TO encourage the bulls and In consequence long
wheat continued to come out during the entire
So 1c. The close was weak, with July at
Sos Qs61zc. May sold between 92c and 92ss c
and closed at 921sc.
Cold weather throughout the West caused
a fair demand for corn at the opening and
IN consequence the market was comparatively
firm considering the easier tone in wheat But
sentiment soon changed and prices started
downward Considerable July for
sale and il came out in such volume to
suggest liquidation OF some heavy holders.
There was also selling for short account. in
spired by predictions OF more favorable weather
for planting. The market showed recuper-
ative powers. ruling weak the remainder of
the day. After opening 1sc TO kc higher 10
501sc TO 5oHc, July sold between 49%c and
sossc and closed at 1880. May closed at
5l%
Oats withstood the weakness of other grains
for q time but In the end succumbed to per
sistent selling by some Of the heavy longs.
The market was quite firm early due to I'M
favorable weather conditions and strength in
cash oats. AS the session advanced weakness
developed and the close the bottom.
July opened a shade to kGkc higher at
3Slsc TO 3sl4c sold between 372sc and 3s y C
and closed at 371Ac.
Provisions were weak from the start under
the influence of moderate selling by commits
sion houses and pit traders Weakness IN
grains ana lower prices for hogs were the
main causes of the liquidation. The marker
closed at the low point. with July pork down
