FIGHT IN CHICAGO
Discouraged Holders Let Go and the
Market Breaks,

Chicago, April 20.-A break Of $50
a .bushel occurred here today in the
price Of wheat for May delivery. The
heavy liquidation by a number Of dis
couraged holders. The action Of the
market today gave indication Of pos
sible abandonment by the Wall street
coterie Of the deal in May wheat. No
evidence was disoernible, however, Of
any concerted selling movement on the
part Of the eastern speculation. May
opened at $1.13 to $1.131a, and for a
time held comparatively steady. Later
sentiment in the pit became extremely
bearish and prices rapidly declined un-
til May touched $1.O835. Distant de-
iveries also were weak, Influenced TO a
large extent by general rains thruout
the winter wheat belt.

ST. PAUL GLOBE
TO QUIT MAY l
Hill Organ Says It's Owing to the
Failure of St. Paul Business
Interests to Support.

The ST. Paul Globe will suspend pub
location May l. .r.--. - .
Announcement to this effect was
made in today's issue of the Globe,
which thereby scored a clean SCOOP
on the other twin city morning papers.
The discontinuance Of the Globe has
been threatened at various times within
pared for the announcement made to-
day. The strange feature Of it all is
that there is no transfer Of good will,
subscription list or franchise spoken of.
The Globe simply quits. The reason
given is lack Of advertising patronage.
In its first page statement, the manage
ment says \ 80
The single and sufficient explanation Of
this decisive step Is found In the fact that
the business interests of st. Paul have not
been able to give to the Globe that busi-
ness support without which no newspaper
can thrive. The Globe has had courteous
treatment at their hands, but apparently
the business Is not here. st. Paul's busi-
ness interests are not adequate to the
support Of two morning papers. ...
The experiment has now been tried out
SO thoroly that there is no room for doubt
as to the correctness Of the conclusion
reached. In every ether respect the
Globe has met: with q success fully equal
to its most sangulne expectations. It
has not to complain that the people do
not want It; that they fail to appreciate
it; that they are unwilling to give to it
it's due as a newspaper. On the contrary,
it has to thank them for the most cor
dial and liberal encouragement. 1t would
be worse than idle, in connection with an
announcement such as this, to GID or to
darken the fact. And the fact is that the
circulation Of the Globe is larger in guam
tity and better in quality than at any
time since its foundation. But the rule
of newspaper enterprises everywhere, that
advertising revenue is proportioned to
circulation, does not hold in st. Paul. In
crease in amount and value Of circulation
IS here found wholly consistent with di-
minishing revenue.

Why Hill suspends His Organ.

Interest in the Globes suspension IS
greater because Of its ownership. It

inally democratic in politics, because
it occupied that field originally and
could not exist except as the organ Of
the st. Paul and state democracy. But
first and foremost it has been the
mouthpieoe Of Mr.. Hill, and its sus-
pension at this time means that Mr..
Hill has no further use for news

Securities company and the triumph
over the Hartman interests in control
of the Northern Pacific. The connec-
tion between these events is apparent
Possible Change Of Policy.
The death Of the Globe may also
mean a change in Great Northern pol
icy and gradual withdrawal Of that
interest from politics. Until four years
ago the Great Northern was able to
shape politics in this state, to name
governors and United States senator's.

Northern hold has been less secure,
and, while it is still powerful factor,
railroad support Of candidate has
come to be doubtful asset.
It is expensive work for corpora
ton to mix in politics, and when the
results are not Forthcoming for the
money change in policy may be looked
for. The Globe has been an important
part Of the expense. It is currently
| understood to have cost Mr.. Hill at
the rate Of $4,000 month. He stood
| the expense as long as he thought it
could do him any good, and then or
dered it stopped. Other political dis
bursements are likely to stop. The
fight for control Of the last republican
state convention may prove to have
been Mr.. Hills last fling in politics.
The Globe could have been sold for
something. Three years ago negotia-
tons were practically closed with John

There is already talk Of democrats
starting new morning daily in St

such a scheme. Rather than sell The
paper to an independent management
he has evidently preferred to give il
an overdose Of chloroform.

later in the day the north end was shot

Early in the day a big fight was on
in the pit. The bears, encouraged by
the reports that Gates had given up the
fight, fell upon the market. They sold
right and left, and reports Of their at

grain Offices in city and country and
put traders into state Of nervousn ess.
Still the market did not weaken ma
terially, for in the Minneapolis pit and
the Chicago pit the bulls were making
desperate stand, and had succeeded In
stopping the decline about 11ac down.
Thru the hour before noon the struggle
continued, the bears gaining bit by bit

their advantage too far, the bears de-
sisted and the pit quieted down, while
traders CROPPED around for something in
