GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago. June 3-Liquidation of July
wheat and reports of good weather for the
new crop caused the market to ease off
slightly today. At the close. July wheat
was down ss01zc; corn was LGkc higher;
oats were up sc, and provisions were un-
changed to TIC lower
The market opened today with easier
prices because of better weather condi-
tons in the west and northwest, lower
cables, and worlds shipments were larger
than expected. Later prices recovered on
reports from Kansas that the freeze of
week ago had done much damage. The
bulk of these reports stated that the in
jury TO the crop had been from 40 to 70
per cent. The report of crop expert that
he estimated the total yield of wheat at
176. 600 900 bushels below the amount named
in his last statements caused rally about
the middle of the day. A good export de-
mand was also reported, and this added
strength TO the market. Later, however
the trading became dull and the inf1u-
ences which were in effect at the open
ing resumed their sway. Much wheat was
liquidated during the early break on stop
loss orders.
The close was easy. July opened &c

The corn market opened easier on re-
ports of good weather. lower cables and
large local receipts. The market rallied.
however, on reports of good demand for

cal receipts were $40 cars.
The weather conditions which softened
the market for wheat and corn also af-
fected oats. 1t was reported later that
the green bug had been discovered in
various places throughout the state and
this. with a fair buying demand, stiff
fened the market. July oats opened &c

ABSOLUTELY NO DEMAND

%,w CaIR. June 3-The tone of the
stock market was very weak today. AMI
the heavy declines of the most conspic-
ueus stocks lower than they sold last
Monday. The reasons for the weakness
were not very apparent, beyond the OBJ
vious explanation that there was no de-
Ieand for stocks. No effective demand
developed at any time during the session,
aud bear operators showed no urgency
p the desire to cover their shorts until
he final hour of the trading. Inc
mounts of stocks sold were not very
large, but the entire prOstration of the
buying demand left prices easily Vulner-
able to moderate selling pressure. me
Pacifics and the copper industrials were
the weakest features, although the declln-
ing tendency of the market was compre-
hensive. Published reports of assertions
by the head of the Hartman system of
the necessity of retrenchment throughout
the railroad world had some special ef-
feet oil the stocks of that system The
weakness of the cOpperS was sufficiently
London prices of the metal The New
York metal exchange also marked down
the price OF the metal here.
A report from Washington that a de-
termination had been reached not to push
the government prosecution against the
Hartman railroad combination had no eff
feet in checking the decline in stocks
Railroad traffic officials were quoted as
Their field, and were disposed to conceda
some falling off in the value of freight
moving. although claiming an excess still
over the corresponding period of last year.
Railroad earnings of the year reported,
continued TO show an improvement in the
net returns for April. the addition of
Pennsylvania to the list, with the first
increase in net for many months, being
regarded as especially significant on ac-
count of the representative character of
the system.
Some disturbance of sentiment was due
to the persistent heavy demand for gold
from Paris, shipments to that point ar
ranged here amounting to S2,o00,000 and
at London to s., S0O.O00 1t does not appear
that any sinister significance lies be-
hind this movement. which is most rea-
sonably attributed to the trade activity
of France and the low level of its re-
serves, the present holdings of that insti-
tuition in spite of the aCcretiOns of the
last few weeks remaining far below the
amount held at this time last year.
The lack of confirmation of any of the
financial trouble rumors as the day pro-
crossed had much to do with driving the
shorts to cover more extensively late in
the day. The substantial recoverieS re-
sulting were all maintained to the last.

Disease Spreading Rapidly In Russian
Famine Districts.

st. Petersburg, April 29.-Prince
Lvoff, head of the zemstvo organlza-
ton for famine relief, who has re-
turned here from the famine districts,
reports that the crucial moment has
arrived. Scurvy Is spreading widely
and rapidly In Ufa province and has
appeared in the provinces Of Samara,
Saratov, Kazan and Tambov. Ergotism
(poisoning from ergotized grain) also
is widely prevalent, the inhabitants or
whole villages being affected by the
commissions characteristic OF the dis
ease. The government distributions
of grain are on the same scale as dur
ing the winter, but private relief has
been enlarged to the greatest extent
possible with the funds available, the
zemstvo organizations alone feeding
1,066,00 persons. These kitchens cost
$3.50 900 monthly and an extension OF
the work Is demanded everywhere. In
spite of the activity of the zemstvos,
Red Cross and Free Economic society
the official reports show that over
100000 persons In Samara, 236,oOO In
Ufa and $4,000 in Kazan province are
still In need Of assistance, while the
scope of the work in Saratov province
should be doubled.

lest possible forwarding OF the money
collected In America.

the failure OF a conference between
the executive committee of the Car
mems union and President Calhoun of

mands presented by the carmen for an
eighthour day and SO a day, which
President Calhoun refused to enter
tain, the labor council endorsed the

by them In any action the union might
take. During the day the officers OF
the local union received the endorse
ment to their demands by the execu-
tive committee Of the international Or
ganization, of which w. D. Mahon Is
president. This is taken to mean that

OVER A SCORE DEAD
Collapse Of New Pier Carries
Down Many Workmen.
BIG DISASTER AT BALTIMORE
Settling OF the Piles Gives Warning
of Accident and a Number of La
borers Manage to Escape Before
the Catastrophe Occurs.

Baltimore, April pa new pier un-
der construction at Locust point, South
Baltimore, collapsed during the day,
carrying down thirty or more work
men. Six bodies have been recovered,
sixteen men are missing and num-
ber were injured. The pier was be-
ing built for the Baltimore and ONO
railroad at the immigration station at
Locust point for the use of the North
German Lloyd Steamship company at
a cost of 100000 1t was 1000 feet
long and was about three-fourths COM
pleted.
Warning Of the disaster was had
several days ago, when the piles to-
ward the end of the pier began set
Ting and vigorous efforts were being
made to save the structure. Shortly
before the disaster occurred the piles
began settling In such an alarming
manner that orders to leave the place
were circulated among the fifty work
men and 1t is due to this fact that the
casualties were not greater. Those
caught were on the end Of the pier on
the roof.
The falling of the pier into the water
created a tremendous wave through
out the harbor and led many persons
to believe there had been a tidal wave,
At Spedden's shipyard. directly across
the harbor from Locust point, the
water suddenly dropped eight feet,
throwing two men overheard from d
marine railway. They were rescued
with difficulty.
Howard T. Ellender Of Baltimore,
civil engineer, was one Of the dead.
He lost his life trying to save the men
on the outer end Of the pier.

WILL NOT TALK POLITICS.
Secretary of War Taft Arrives to FIJI
Dates In Ohio.

Cincinnati April 29.-Secretary Of
War Taft, who is to make several pub
lie addresses In this city and in Day
ton, O., within the next three days,
has arrived here. He declined to dis
cuss political questions in any way
and declared that he will not have,
during his Western trip, anything
whatever to say bearing on the pres
idential question.
THE engagements which have
come to fill," he said, were made
long ago and politics has never en-
tered into them. shall have nothing
whatever to say of a political charac-
ter"
There was no committee to meet
the secretary at the depot and no
demonstration of any kind. His
brother, Charles p Taft, was there
alone to meet him and they were
driven directly from the spot to the
home of Mr.. Taft.
There was a decided demonstration,
however, when the secretary entered
the Sinton hotel three hours later to
attend the convention of the Associ-
ated Western Yale Clubs, of which he
is president. 1t had only been with
great difficulty that the Yale men were
prevented from going to the depot en-
masse to greet the secretary, 1t being
feared that they would by their dem
onstration give his arrival political
aspect. Their effervescence, however,
lost no force by the temporary bottling
and the secretary, when he entered
the hotel, was given an enthusiastic
recaptiou
