Is considered strong, but financial conditions
just now initiate seriously against bull speou-

Yesterday the tone was somewhat easier
at the opening owing TO weakness In most
Of the foreign markets and the unfavOrablO
monetary situation. But after the severe
decline Of late there was noticeable hesitation
about engaging extensively In further CON-
mitments on the short side. In fact the
offerings were very light. Ths news m re-
sensationally buliish, and In any case not a
few incline 20 the opinion that tine snort side

However this may be some shorts deemed
u advisable to cover, and later on the tOnc

few believing that at least a temporary rally
is due on technical conditions.
But long wheat continued to come put

and although wheat may be selling below It's
is still the possibility Of a further decline

Wheat has many friends who look Tor much

not regard the monetary outlook as suspicious
for bullish operations.

Soon the gates will open for an ex-
position unlike any aver before at
tempted in America. On the shores and
waters Of Hampton Roads, neal the cit

Portsmouth, Va, across from Old Point
Comfort and the frowning Fortress

located in a section of the country rich
with historical landmarks.

Exposition is not at jamestown at all,
but forty miles from the peninsula,

CHICAGO.

Along with the advent Of spring bust
ness generally is seen to have acquired
turther momentum. No corresponding
period in previous years was entered upon
with production, distribution and trans
portation more largely engaged, and it
is a remarkable index of industrial
strength that demands and costs xhibi
no reaction. Lahoi problems attract at
%tention, but the difficulties obtain prompt
treatment. thereby avoiding the danger
from a spread of strikes. A gratifying
feature is the Improvement in railroad IA
~cilities. less complaint of car shortage
now being current.
Distributive trade has responded
promptly to the stimulus of seasonable
attended by many outside buyers. heavy
purchases of spring and summer merchan-
disc make a healthy reduction of ware
house stocks, and there is little diminu-
ton in the pressure upon shipping rooms,
country merchants insisting upon prompt
forwardings. Despite high rates for money
the commercial demand is we'll kept up,

Spring trade is at its height, and the
turnover bids fair to exceed even last
years. the stimuli being furnished by
more favorable weather. the approach OF
Easter and the visits of country mer-
chants to the larger ccntcrs. Improve
ment is reflected all around. even In the
Northwest, which now appears to be get
ting back to normal conditions. In fact,
doubt as to the future is nowhere in evil
dence in the great producing sections of
the country. In some points in the West
sales of dry goods on spring account are
fully 10 per cent above those of last year,
while fall business thus far placed is also
in excess of that booked at this time in
1909. While the car situation in the
West has improved, conditions in the
East are worse. but nevertheless a great
er movement of cereals to market may
now be expected.

he asked the board to supply eyeglasses,
free of cost, to children of needy parents,
who may be suffering from imperfect Wis

Through the energetic efforts of Nine.
Brisson, u university for women has been
opened at Paris, in which a course in
housekeeping is to hold the place of honor
in the curriculum. There will be other
courses in dressmaking, millinery, short
hand, hygiene, morality, history and lit
e%rature. The idea is to attend to the
practical matters of life first, but not to
neglect the ornamental.
Although President Eliot of Harvard
refused to make any reply to the speech
of President Roosevelt in defense of foot
ball and other rough sports, he has given
out a statement saying that no one had
proposed to stop intercollegiate athletics
at Harvard. Last year they said they
would stop it or change it. Football had
been changed and it would be played next
fall. President Eliot thought his position
on this subject was not essentially diff
ferent from that of President Roosevelt.
Taking direct issue with President
Roosevelt in his recent "molly-coddle'
address at Harvard in defense of all
rough college sports, the annual report
of Harvard's head, DR.. Charles w. Eliot,
takes the radical stand that football is no
game for gentlemen to play or for gentle
men to watch that is. an undesirable
one. President Eliot admits that under
great pressure of public opinion last year
the game was much improved, but says
the Harvard players suffered about the
same kind of injuries as before. He in
sists that no game is fit for college uses
.'in which recklessness in causing or suf-
fering serious bodily injuries promotes
efficiency, and so is taught and held up
for admiration He finds the same sort
of recklessness in hockey and basket ball,
and thinks that intercollegiate contests
should be limited to two a year in each
sport. He believes it high time that the
teaching profession unite ito protest
against the present exaggeration of ath-
letic sports during the whole period of
education" He deplores the waste Of
money and says that pumped cheering
during good and bad play '.has no coun-
terpart in the contests of real life," and
is weak, hysterical and ineffective" on
the part of the spectators.

He is now generally believed to have

kidnapping was not at first suspected.
Ross reported the loss of the child to
the Philadelphia police. He had hopes
of the safe return of Charley up to July
6. Then he received a letter demand

WAR IN CENTRAL AMERICA.
Conflict Was Precipitated
by II Trining

Present Conflict Was Precipitatcd
by IL TriHinE Incident.
The present war in Central America
was precipitated by a trifing incident.
A Nicaraguan agitator who fed into
Honduras was followed by Nicaraguan
soldiers, who failed to capture him, but
went away with his mule. After hasty
diplomatic notes had been exchanged
war was declared and real war began.
Better organized, better armed and
better trained than ever, the forces of
Nicaragua on the one side and Hon
duras and Salvador On the other.
clashed. The recent battle of Potillos
do Namasique saw 100 killed on the
side of Honduras and Salvador alone
This is three times as many as the
American. fatalities in battle in the war
between Spain and the United States.
There were 5000 Salvadoreans and
Guatemalans in the fight, 50 the loss
was 90 per cent.
Personally leading his armies, which
have invaded Honduran soil n cap
tured town after town, is President
Zelaya Of Nicaragua. War found him
doubly ready for the conflict. His sue
cesses on the coast have been followed
up by the United States navy, which has
landed small forces of marines at La
Ceiba and Trujillo, towns captured by
Nicaragua, and at Puerto Cortez,
threatened by Zelaya, to protect neu-
trail property. Costa Rica may become
involved, an old feud against Nicaragua
making 1t potentially an ally Of Saliva
dor and'G Guatemala.
The armies Of Central America are
made up Of Indian stock mixed with
Spanish blood. The secondary weapon
consists Of the ever truly machette.
Large bodies Of the troops are armed
only with these long, heavy knives.
The deadly nachete is responsible for
most of the carnage. Even when pro-
vided with guns the Central Ameri-
cans are VIGOROUSLY bad shots.
Honduras has been helped in this
war by Salvador, with whom she had
an offensive and defensive alliance,
and she has had to contend with a re-
bellious outbreak Of her own people.
This was the case in Nicaragua, the
latent revolutionists in each country
seemingly taking advantage of the diff
culties of the government to further
their own cause. Only three Central
American states have become involved,
Costa Rica and Guatemala remaining
neutral.
The government of the United States
sent %gunboats to both the Pacific and
Atlantic coasts and marines were land
ed at two Or three ports on the north
ern coast Of Honduras for the protec-
ton Of American interests. These ports
were in the possession Of enemies of
The Honduran government at the time,
