z. II. Princes Grain Letter.

Chicago, March 29.-,Vlieat-The
wheat market developed into an ex-
tremely weak one near the close Local
longs hammered the. market and there
was heavy selling by early buyers and
scalpers and an entire absence of sup
port. Until this movement set in the
E,arket was strong, but it was evident
early in the day that there was old
July wheat for sale above 90la, and al
tho for time there was good support,
especially from commission houses,
when these orders were exhausted the
market was left bare of any support.
The close was near the bottom. Inter-
est in the wheat market is undated.
Very little attention was paid to the
foreign situation or in fact to anything
else except the strong position of cash
wheat.
Corn-There was good general
trade In corn, with a nervous feeling.
The crowd was disposed to follow Ar
mor's movement again, and as Valen-
tine was a moderate buyer early, the
crowd took May and July corn literally,
causing a fair amount of strength.
Scattered selling in May around 55H
caused an easier feeling and when the
late selling movement in wheat set in
corn eased off further. The declining
tendency was checked at a. little below
yesterdays last prices. bat the close
was easy in sympathy with wheat.
Oats-The oats market followed 9TH
err grains closely and was without fea-
ture Of Importance. There were very

TO SHORTEN LINE
Northwestern Plans cut-oH Between
Carroll and Council BIuffs-Would

Special to Times Republican.
Council Bluffs. March 29.-Sulveyors
for the Northwestern Railway Com
pany. have for some time been running
lines across the country from Carroll
ito Crescent with a view of finding the
most practical route for the contem-
plated cutoff by which seventeen miles
will be saved on the main line from
Council Bluffs to Chicago.
Several days ago gangs of surveyors
ran line thru Persia connecting at
Harlan with the branch line that now
runs from that town to Carroll. where
Il connects with the main line. Ii is
planned to build from Harlan to Cres-
cent this summer, and in the meantime
rebuild the branch line, equipping il
with the heaviest rails used in the sys-
TEN and make 1t in every way conform
to the high standard Of the main line.
This will shorten the distance between
Council Bluffs and Chicago about sew
enteen miles.
Will Save Halt an Hour.
This cutoff will yield the greatest
saving in distance that is possible be-
tween here and Chicago. When COM
pleted all the thru freight and passen-
ger trains between here and Chicago
will be sent this way, and what is now
the main line between Carroll and Mis-
souri, Valley will practically becoms
a branch used for local traffic only
and the thru trains from the Elkhorn
system in Nebraska. The saving OF
such a CUTOFF will amount to millions
of dollars to the company, besides en-
aiding 1t to cut fully thirty minutes
from the schedule time between Coun-
Gil Bluffs and Chicago.
The building of this new line will
have the effect to Immediately greatly
deteriorate the service between Carroll
and Missouri Valley and may injure to
some extent for time the now
thriving towns on that part of the
main line, including Denison, Arion.
Dunlap, Woodbine. Logan and Missouri
Valley. On the other hand it will make
Crescent, Persia and Harlan much
more prosperous than they are at the
present time, besides opening UP sew
eral new town sites in Pottawattamie
county that will soon become thrifty
inland villages.

are taking fewer cattle. Plain ana

With no excessive supply offered
there was a good local and shipping
demand at steady prices. Hogs sold
largely at 5.45M5,55.
Sheep.

HANDY MOUNTAIN BATTERY.

At the outbreak of the Spanish war
in 1898, Captain G. w. Van Deusen, of
the artillery corps, was sent to Eng
land to buy guns for use in land Of
mountain and jungle. He bought his
artillery, took it to Manila, and with
hundred CT more men and mules or
ganized the first mountain battery at
tached to the United States army. The
battery was only a temporary organi-
cation, but it proved its value in the
island campaign. Two of these batter
les are in the Philippines and one is at
Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, where it is
of frequent use in the field problems
of the general staff and service col
lege. Soon after the first rumors of
war with Colombia came out of Wash
ington the mountain battery at Leaven-
worth received many unofficial warn
ings-and some not SO unofficial-that
it would be part of the American
