RY OF THE DAYS TRANSACTIONS IN THE MARKETS
WHEAT is UP AGAIN
MISSOURI CROP DAMAGE BREAKS
OUT IN NEW SPOTS
Early Market Is Easier and the Trading
SmalI-Least Conservative Traders
Move CautlousIy-corn and Oats Gain
Also.

CHICAGO, April 1S.-Damage to winter
wheat in sections of Missouri heretofore
escaping caused a net advance of A0Ac
today in July wheat Corn gained &c.
Oats are up 1sc. Provisions are practical
ly unchanged.
Liberal selling orders from the North
west, where the weather was reported
favorable for spring seeding, caused wheat
to open easier. Trading during the earlier
part OF the session was small. The only
material demand was from sections of
the southwest where damage to wheat is
reported to be increasing daily. July
opened Is "a to &c lower at S61s @S6Ac.
In the absence Of support the market de-
cllned to sec. At this point the South
western crop reports brought fair buying
orders. AS a result the market gradually
rallied. One Of the features was the
cautious manner in which the room trad
ers allowed wheat to slip through their
hngers. There was buying on every re-
ceSSlon. "A consequence was to make
even the least conservative traders move
slowly. The influencing factor was bad
reports from the winter wheat country,
notably sections in Missouri not previous
~ mentioned in such connection. From
SEC July gradually advanced to 8634 c,
closing firm at the top. May sold be-
tween 92A @92hc. and closed at 921Bc
The visible supply showed a small in
crease. compared with a big decrease
last year.
Clearances of wheat and flour were
equal to 81, SAT bu. Primary receipts were
363,346 bu, against 375,6 24 bu last year
Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported
receipts OF 81 cars, against 335 cars last
week and 228 year ago.
Light Trade in Corn.
Trading in the corn pit was light, but
the tone was in the main firm. The
opening was barely steady on reports of
weather favorable for farm work. The
outlook in this respect brought out con-
siderable long corn. Later inquiries for
the cash article came in and helped
futures materially. An influential factor
was the much smaller proportion of con-
tract grade shown in the receipts today
as compared with Saturday. The fact
emphasized a fear that corn of contract
grade is growing scarce. July opened
unchanged to 1sc higher at 49A @4978c
sold between 1880 and 503Bc, closing at
501sc. May ranged between 5114 052A c
Y cars, with is of contract grade.
Trading in oats was largely by scalp
erS and uneasy shorts. The weather was
reported as being more favorable for
seeding, but too cold for promoting
growth of what has already been sOwn.
July opened B@ sc lower at 371s @373sc.
ranging between SIC and 375s @37%c, and
116 cars.
Provisions were slightly easier at the
start, owing to increased receipts and
lower hog prices at the yards. Later,
however, there was quite fair inquiry
credited to local packers and spectators.
AS result prices were confined to a
range of 10c, the market leaving off at
about last nights figures.

Minneapolis Temperatures somewhat
springlke, a favorable forecast, easy for
quantity afloat for Europe were all
against the price of wheat. May went
under 93c again. touching 92&c in the
opening hour. Statistics were against the
market not so much because of anything
in the figures especially depressing as be-
cause they were uniformly bearish. The
Northwest is still too cold for a break
up. Harvey, Grand Forks and HillsboTO
were points reporting freezing tempera-
lures Sunday night and yesterday. The
range was from "A to Al degrees above
zero, a number of important districts re-
porting the thermometer around 80 to 81
or not high enough to clear the ground
rapidly. May l is the date now generally
talked of for the beginning of seeding in
Red River valley districts close to the
river, some points setting the date lit
tie later. There was. in short, nothing in
the Northwestern outlook to encourage
the bears, as much of the ground is still
covered with snow, but against this there
was a good forecast and If the fair and
warmer weather predicted comes along to-
day may see the beginning of a general
thaw and clearing up of the ground. Re

INSPECTORS DISMISSED.
Law Regarding Examination of Yes
sells Violated

Since the Slocum investigation the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor has been
on the constant lookout for violations of
the statutes, and several removals have
been made In consequence. 1t Is the pur-
pose Of the department to rid itself of all
inefficient employees as soon as they are
discovered, and the report of the board of
steamboat inspectors, now in session here
Is expected to have a strong effect on
many instances of fragrant violations of
the regulations.
The law paying salaries to inspectors &C
cording to the number of vessels they in
spect is denounced by the Department of
Commerce and Labor and the Secretary.
in his report shortly forthcoming will
appeal to Congress for an amelioration Of
this unsatisfactory condition of the
statutes. This section is directly respon-
sible for dereliction of duty on the part of
several Of the inspectors of the service
and for the dismissal of at least two of
them. The two who have lost their po-
sitions In the service for violations of the
statutes are Thomas Homer, local in
spector of hulls at Grand Haven, Mich,
and Henry Blocker, local inspector of
boilers at the same place, who have been
dismissed by order of the Secretary. They
are charged with having reported an IN
spectiOn of a yacht which had long been
out of commission. which was aground and
partly filled with water This was done
with a view of adding to the number of
vessels they inspected, and thereby aug
menting their income for the year. 1t is
not hard to see that such manner of
paying salaries may prove at times dis
astrous to the efficiency Of the service, and
a strong recommendation will be urged
that Congress remedy the evil by amend
ing the law relating thereto.
The section violated provides:
Every inspector who wilfully certifies
falsely touching any steam vessel as to
her hull. accommoda lions, boilers, en-
gines, machinery or other appurtenance, or
any of her equipments, or any matter or
thing contained in any certificate signed
and sworn to by him. shall be punished
by fine of not more than $500 or i'm
prisonment for not more than six months,
or both
There is a proviso that the Secretary
may, in his discretion, remove the offender
from office, and in the cases noted this
was done.
John p. Bradley. an immigration in
spector at New York. has been removed
from the service for violations of the regu-
lations. His action Is said to have been
conduct unbecoming an official of the serv-
ice. his actions having been reported to the
authorities at New York and his dismissal
following, at the order of the Secretary Of
Commerce and Labor Immediately upon the
charges having been proven.
