CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Reports of Decrease in Visible Sup
ply-Storing Their Wheat
Provisions Weak

By Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 29.-Sentiment in the
wheat pit was bearish all day and local
longs were free sellers. At the opening
the market was affected by reports that
harvesting was under way in Texas un-
der favorable auspices. and the clearing
weather in the spring wheat territory
also encouraged selling. AS trading
progressed the May delivery was sub
jected to heavy selling pressure. Several
reports were received telling of favorable
progress by the new crop. During the
last hour there was considerable covering
by shorts, who were influenced largely by
the strength shown by the prices of
coarse grain and liberal decrease in
the worlds visible supply Prices rallied
somewhat from the low point, but the
close was weak. June opened shade to
%aA @s a,SS lower at S8lsqsSA, sold, sold off to 81
The corn market was strong for the
greater part of the day. July closed
ss0l. higher at 4S7a.
Because of numerous reports Of DANA ge
by drouth there was an active market
for oats. July closed A@3s higher at 34
Provisions were inclined to be weak
because of selling by small packers, who
were influenced by liberal receipts of live
hogs at the chief western packing CEN
ters. At the close July pork was off SC.
lard was down 21kc and ribs were q shade
lower.

TAKEN FROM TEXAS
A WHITE REGIMENT GOES TO
BROWNSVILLE FOR A SHORT
TIME, BUT THE POST WILL SOON
BE ABANDONED ENTIRELY.

Washington, August 21.-The negro fed
eral troops have been ordered out of
Texas. Instead Of going to Fort Ring
gold. which is about 100 miles up the Rio
Grande from Fort Browne, the battalion
of the Twenty fifth infantry has been
ordered to Fort Reno, Oklahoma. This
action is in accordance with the direction
of the President, and also is recommend
ed by General McCaskey, commanding the
department of Texas.
BY direction of the President, also Gen.
]. Franklin Bell, chief of staff. will make
thorough investigation OF the whole
Brownsville affair, and report to the Pres
ident.
Fort Browne Is to be abandoned. The
company of the Twenty-sixth infantry,

movable government property which will
be shipped to other posts when the troops
will be ordered away.
The investigation now under way will be
continued by Major Blocksom and the
war department authorities state that
every effort will be made to find out the
facts and fix the responsibility for the
disturbance, and that any soldiers found
guilty will be punished.

MORE EXCITEMENT
IN STOCK MARKET
WILD SCRAMBLE AT THE OPEN
ING MAKES SALES ENORMOUS,
BUT SEVERE LOSSES ARE RE-
CORDED AT THE CLOSE.

New York. August 21-4The stock market
Transactions were once more in enormous
volume. The tone at the outset was weak
resulting largely from heavy realizing for
profits in a number of issues which re-
Gently scored extensive gains. Amalga-
mated Copper, Atchison and Pennsylvania
fell from l to points, but corresponding
gains were made by Great Northern pre-
ferred and Louisville and Nashville The
only wide opening was in United States
Steel, block of 1900 shares coming out
at a maximum loss Of ". United States
Steel, preferred, lost a point. The mar
ket turned strong before the end OF the
half hour when most of the early losses
were recovered.
Following the brief period of compare
tive dullness and lower prices, the mar
ket gained renewed strength in the second
hour The features then were the Hill
issues, Great Northern, preferred, ad-
vancing over 10 points. Sales of stocks
were 1,167, 900 shares.
The sensational feature of the noon hour
was the advance In Great Northern, pre-
ferred, which rose to 9241s, gain of over
16 points from yesterdays close The rise
in this stock revived the old time rumor
of the contamination of the ore deal be-
tween the Hill properties and the United
States Steel corporation, but no news de-
veloped on this point. Call money ad-
vanced to per cent, from yesterdays s
high rate, before 1 o'clock at which time
prices showed a tendency to sag. Business
for the first three hours aggregated L.
562, 900 shares.
There was marked decrease in the
volume of trading toward the beginning
of the last hour. Call money advanced
to per cent the highest In some weeks.
Prices were generally lower.
In the final hour the market weakened
under heavy offerings, the days advances
were wiped out and some severe losses
were recorded. The closing was weak.

lament next winter. Commissions are be-
ing created in all the minsteries to elab-
crate law projects covering every possible
question from a command of the solution
of the agrarian and labor problems to

An interview which Emperor William
has had with Count Witte, in which the
latter announced his early return to Rus
