Caldwell & Wards Grain Letter.

By Bartlett, Frazier & Darlington.
 Chicago, April 19.-Wheat values could not withstand the burden of bearish ad- vices, and the sympathetic influence of the weakness in corn and in the absence of the support of outside trade. Damage reports covering Indiana, Illinois and Missouri were quite general, but were out weighed by the fine spring weather in the northwest, the forecast for showers in Kansas, weak cash news, the very small decrease in Bradstreets relative to the last year. and the previously mentioned lack of outside trade. Perhaps the winter wheat item most deserving of credit was a wire from II. V. Jones of the Conner clal West. who is travelling through the belt. He gives it as his opinion that the southwestern condition Is critical. Mani toba cash wheat was weak, and north western points report cash almost un- saleable. Locally there was some improve ment. noticeably inquiry from winter wheat millers. Cables were indifferent. Liverpool closing fractionally higher
 Corn was rather firm during the fore noon, notwithstanding some fierce selling of July by commission houses. Towards midday however, selling of May by Ar mour demoralized the trade in that op ton, precipitating a 2ssc break in a very few minutes This was followed by gen- eral selling of July. The deferred futures were firm relative to May The trade was bearish on the cash news. Accept ances on last nights bids through the country were unusually heavy, especially from Kansas and Nebraska. Farmers ap- pear satisfied with spring conditions and are willing to dispose of their surplus. Increase in receipts may be looked for before long The increase of 6l7,009 bushels in our contract stock, while not unexpected, was reminder to the trade of the improvement in the grading, and the case with which mixing houses can make no No. corn. The cash market was strong early Armour absorbing all the offerings, but went to pieces when that interest withdrew. Liverpool market was 1sc higher.

This activity was of short duration when the pulls with drew and some selling followed causing a slight furry that served to cut the ad- vance well down to yesterdays figures. Later in the day offerings became ex- tremly limited and prices recovered. In the trading May first gained 12 points at 13 S6, declined to 13.S0 advanced to 13.99 and finally declined to 1890.

Caldwell L Wards Stock Letter.


 New York, April 19.-The stock market today suffered from considerable liquida- tion, but 1t was difficult to trace the source of it. The change in the tone from early steadiness to hesitation and subsequent weakness began with the am nouncement of the refusal of United States circuit court at St Paul to permit the intervention of the Union Pacific in- terests in the Northern Securities suit. When the news was first received a trif- ling rally took place on the theory much talked of recently. That the positive ac- tion of court would end the speculative uncertainty which has recently kept bus mess dull and prices heavy. The strength did not last long and the market began to sag. It was unfavoraby influenced by a severe break in Metropolitan Street railway said to be due to the closing of a large estate, but which was accompan- fed by unfavorabe gossip regard to cur rent earnings of the company. When prives were at their minimum rumors were circulated of the serious illness of a prominent banker, but the reports re- ceived prompt authoritive denial. The fall in Metropolitan extended to nearly 3 per cent, although a third of the gain was subsequently recovered. Brooklyn Rapid Transit lost 11s. Union Pacific lost over 1 per cent In the general list the maximum reactions amounted to about per cent. Wabash showed considerable resistance to the downward tendency and Canadian Pacific also ruled fairly firm. There were some late rallies from bottom prices on covering of shorts but the mar ket closed irregular and unsettled. Sales, 4182O0.

 New York, April 19.-The stock market was exceedingly mixed today. Cross cur sent movements were frequent and pug zling News developments were confus- ing One rumor went so far as to say in the afternoon that there was an impor- tant failure pending and that Keene was selling on 1t.

Transactions after the call were largely in the nature of switches from the near to the late positions, with the same interests apparently willing to take all the near months offering against sales of the late positions at existing diner ences. This led to an advance of points on two or three of the nearby months, but the narrowing of the premiums checked the demand from spot interests, and the market later lost the partial re- covery and closed net points lower on all months except February. which was net 10 points lower.

| only briefly OF that part Of IL whict
especially endeared him to the people
of the South, and Of his noble character
that commands the admiration and re.
spect of friend and foe alike.
GENERAL Lee was bv nativity q Vir'
ginia born at Stretford, in Westrnore'
land County, on the 10th day of January
1907, but in his garland of fame the love
and res oect OF his c5untrymen through
out the entire South are entwined. Vir-
ginia wo aid not claim him alone, IL is
her pride to boast that she had such q
noble son to give to such worthy
the South that they had q cause worthy
Of such a'noble leade. Descended from
long line of distinguished ancestry,
reared in q cultured Southern home
surroui ded by the most elevating and
refined influences, educated under the
best instructors of his time, and trained
under the rigid military discipline of
West Point, those noble traits OF char
acter were early developed that shone
forth so conspicuously in the later years
of his life
according to his biographers. GEN
eral Lee was a man of strikingly dis
tinguished appearance. Tall and grace

benevolence, yet Expressive of firmness
and determination, he possessed per-
sOnal magnetism in an extraordinary
degree. Z ssessing the highest sense
of honor and scrupulously conscientious
in his attention to the minutest details
Of every duty, he was always respect
full and obedient to his superiors and
thoughtful and considerate Of those
beneath him. General Lee bore no
malice or IL viii to even his bitterest
enemies. He seemed to stand and
move, AS IL were, in an atmosphere
above the meaner and baser things of
earth, and in his heart the petty spites
and narrow views of smaller minds
could find no Judgment. Many besuti-
nj incidents illustrating his forgiving

Mr.. Chambers Speech.

| Mr.. Chandler spoke in part as follows
Mrs. President, Members of Maury
| Chapter Daughters of the Confederacy
and Confederate Veterans:
"Ladies and Gentlemen:-
Il am always glad that l was born a
Southerner; on occasions like this / am
doubly glad thatI was born South
erner. There is something about the gray
uniform and brass buttons of Confed-
crate soldier that never fails to appeal
to me and makes me rejoice that my
native state was part of the republic
of the Southern Confederacy; whose
star rose amid the storm clouds of war
and passed with resplendent glory
across turbulent sky and set to rise no
more, but left lustr5 on the pages of
history that time can never dim. But
also rejoice that we are again u reunited
country under common flag; that the
South that did so much to make that
flag what IL is stands now as ready to
defend 1t as does the North; that all
sectional strife and passion have passed
away: and that we stand today an
undivided people for our common coun-
Try. But there is glory about our past
history that must be preserved, and 1
trust that the day will never come when
southern people will permit one line of
true southern history to be erased, or
fail to mete out the full measure of
praise to southern heroes.
"We have gathered in part on this
occasion to celebrate the anniversary of
the birth of the great leader of the Lost
Cause Robert e. Lee. 1t is not my
