Chicago. April 24.-A double back somersault was performed by May wheat to-day. Instead of settling into reminiscence, the option promptly started this morning with repetition of last weeks sensational acrobatics. Some of the first trades showed fall of 4 cents a bushel, the price opening at 96 to 9S cents, as against $1 at the close on Saturday.
 Boston, April 24.-A heavy unload ing of stocks by traders caused a sharp break in prices shortly after the opening to-day of the Boston stock ex- change. Stocks ran off quickly as result of the continued selling, which was in turn influenced by general weakness of the New York market. Copper Range declined 1S to Il and American WOOlen common was off 1 to 36a. OsceOla dropped to 93, a fall of 3 points from Thursday, when the market closed until to-day.
 VIOLENT AND FEVERISH.
 New York, April 24.-Violent and feverish fluctuations in prices of stocks this morning indicated the un- settled state of the speculation. Op- efators were confused in the inter- pretatiOn of the acute weakness with which the market closed on Thursday last before the holidays. The return to the stock exchange list of Northern Pacific was another confusing element To these were added the slump in wheat of Saturday indicating the col lapse of the corner and the furry m the call money market on Thursday. To add to the uncertainty the London stock market was closed to-day and offered no indication for guidance be- fore the market opened here. Efforts were manifest to control the market by supporting special stocks, the buying centering on Louisville and Nashville. Atlantic Coast Line, Tennessee Coal and Lead, which were lifted point or more. This had the effect of steadying the market after the opening decline, but a downward plunge of 10 points in Northern Securities on the curb weakened the market again as soon as it was reported. Within fifteen min utes after the opening 100 shares of Northern Pacific sold at 16S, followed by another 100 shares at 167R. This stock has been nominally quoted at 1SO bid and it was hoped by the specu- lative element that it would be sup ported at 17O or above. During the first hour of the trading Union Pacific sold off some 3s points. United States Steel preferred 2&, Amalgamated Cop per ?. Chesapeake and Ohio.

WITNESS

Moses Haas. one OF the recalclrtation
witnesses from New York in the cotton
leak cases was heard ny Judge Wright
of the criminal court today. Mr.. Haas
was in the court room for the first time.
Mr.. Peckham, the other New York wit
ness involved, was also present
MessFs. Bifney aHd Alter again appear
ed for Mr.. Haas, and Mr.. Birney pre-
scented the defendants answer to the
4. grand jurys presentation. He quoted
from the report OF the leakage made by
Secretary Wilson and said that II the
statement concerning himself were true
they involve him In an accusation OF
crime against the United States.
Hense his refusal to testify on the
ground that his testimony would tend 10
criminate himself He claimed 10 be
exempt from the requirement TO testi-
mony on constitutional grounds and
urged that he had intended no contempt
OF court, concluding as follows:
MIGHT INCRIMINATE SELF.
This respondent further says that his
refusal 20 answer the questions PROFOUND
ed to him by the said grand jury were IN
good faith and only because he believed
that TO answer said or any OF said ques-
tion would or might end To incriminate
him in connection with the said Edwin s
Holmes and subject him 10 penalty or
forfeiture and such refusals were not nor
was any OF them made I'm contempt OF
the court or OF the said grand jury or
with any purpose to impede or obstruct
the administration OF Justice, but only
in furtherance OF his claim OF privilege
under the constitution and laws OF the
United States as herein before set forth.
Mr.. Birney then undertook to read
further from Secreary Wilson's report
when District Attorney Beach said the
report had no legal connection With the
case before tho court
After some colloquy Mr.. Beach with
drew the objection and Mr. Birney pro-
ceeded with his reading and argument
which tended TO show that Haas should
not ho compelled 10 answer. Mr. Blrney
instanced the fact that even In the brief
PROCEEDINGS before the grand Jury Mr.
Beach had sought TO prove the connec-
zion between Holmes and Haas. showing
thai the establishment OF that connec-
ton is essential 10 establish crime
Judge Wright held that Secretary WI
sn's report put Haas In tho attitude OF
A defendant IN a criminal proceeding and
that he could not be required 10 answer
questions tending 10 incriminate him
sell lie issued an order requiring Haas
80 answer the questions a sto whether
he had lived In Washington and had been
employed IN the department OF agriculture
and cXcJsing him from answering those
MS 10 whether he knew Holmes or Peck
ham.
