CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
May and July Wheat Were Weak and
Trading Was Dull
BY Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Feb. S.-Dullness to the
point where trading was almost at a
standstill was witnessed i'm the wheat
pit today. Prices throughout the en-
tire session showed a downward ten
dency. At the outset there was SELL
ing of July by longs who felt that the
general snowstorms throughout the
winter wheat belt would make pros
poets of new wheat in July more reas-
suring. There was also some selling
of May by commission houses. May
opened %6Dhc lower at $1t61s to
$1.16%. July was also down MMAc at
$101 @MI01A. One reason for the poor
demand was the fact that the domestic
situation as to existing supplies and
general distribution apparently offered
little encouragement to believers in
higher prices. Selling developed in fair
proportions late in the session and re-
suited in a weak feeling. Closing
prices were $1.16h for May and $1.00k
for July.
Notwithstanding the weakness of
wheat, the corn market held compara-
lively firm. May closed at 45hc.
An effort by local bear leaders to
raid the oats market was frustra ted
by active buying by shorts and COM
mission houses. May closed 1sc lower
at 3Oh@3OAc.
Considering the heavy receipts of
live hogs. the provisions market was
surprisingly steady. At the close, May
pork and ribs were unchanged and
lard was off 2bc.
The board of trade will be closed
Monday, February 10, a legal holiday.

DEFIED The Law.
Sontd Re Accused of COntin.
uOuS Violation for
Five Years.

Washington, Feb. 4.-"Flagrant,
willful and continuous violations" Of
the law during the past five years Is
the way in which the Atchison, Tope-
Ia & Santa Fe railroad is arraigned in
a decision promulgated by the inter-
state commerce commission ON the
"alleged unlawful rates and practices"
Of that road in the transportation of
coal and mine supplies, involving also
the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company.
The main points of the decision,
summarizing the way in which it is
alleged the law has been violated and
disregarded. are as follows
1.-THE act to regulate commerce re-
quires carriers to publish and adhere
to their tariffs. The Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fs Railway Company has for
the last five years willfully and contin.
uously violated this provision of the
law in the respects above stated.
February 10, 1908, the so-called
'Elkins bill was enacted, providing
that carriers should in no case trans
port traffic until tariff has been pub
lished and that the published tariff
should be observed, and providing a
penalty of not less than $1,000 nor
more than $4,000 for each offense.
The provisions of this statute extend
both to the railway company which
grants and the party which receives
the concessions. Both the Santa Fe
and the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company
system continuously violated the pro-
visions Of that act in the particulars
mentioned from the day of its passage
down to November Z, 1904, when the
tariffs under which this coal moved
we're reduced in, all cases $l.15. 1t
would seem that the Ell Paso & South
western railroad was also in violation
of the statute during that period, but
that company was not party to this
proceeding, and has not been heard.
at should be further observed that
March 5, 1909, the United States cir.
cult court in suit begun at the in
stance of the interstate commerce COM
mission, enjoined the Atchison, Tope.
ka & Santa Fe Railway Company to
observe in all respects its published
schedule of rates. That company,
from the date of this injunction down
to November 81, 1904, was apparently
continuous in its disregard for that or.
der of court in its failure to maintain
these coal tariffS,'
