CHANCES IN
GRAND JURY
Four Members Are Excused and
Others DraWn.-FederaI
Court Notes.

The excusing of four of the members
of the federal grand jury by Judge
Woodruff yesterday morning delayed
the work of that body until three
o clock in the afternoon. Those excus-
ed were George NJ. Day, Angus Nc
phee, Henry Sheldon and James K.
Kula, all of them residents of other
islands, press of business causing item
to ask for release at that time, in order
to catch yesterdays Mauna Kea.
Clerk Murphy had hard luck in draw
ing a special venire from which to fill
the vacancies as those called were to
be in court at one in the afternoon.
Nearly all those drawn were from the
other islands, those finally being select
ed being George Haffener, B. Howard
Hitchcock, John Effinger, Fred NJ.
Booth, George E. Bruins, NJ. P. Robin
son, Arthur Mason, and Fred W. Nc
Kinney. Of these, Mckinney, Robin
son, Bruins and Effinger were selected
to fill the vacancies. Haffener was ex-
cused on account of the age limit.
Four more talesmen have been drawn
to report today, they being Frank E.
Richardson, Antonio .. Marcallino,
Paul o. Schmidt and W. NJ. Buchanan
United States District Attorney
Breckons stated yesterday in the court
room that he wishes to get through with
the grand jury this week but does not
think, considering the work yet before
it, that it viii be possible. As the
petty jury work commences next week,
he is anxious to have as clear a pro-
gram ahead as possible.
Judge Woodruff ordered the arraign-
ment of Wong Ping, a codefendant
with Jennie Chow Mai under the Ed
munds Act, but Deputy United States
Attorney Rawlins called his honor s at
tention to the fact that the case had
been set on the calendar for Saturday
next and incidentally gave hint as
to the defense that their attorney, ex-
Judge Humphreys, will present, to get
his clients off.
When they first came before the at
ention of the federal officials, their
preliminary examination before the
commissioner was followed inadvertent-
ly by their falling into the hands of
the territorial officials, and their ar
IdiSHlHeHt III the uiSGrlcG court DeloTe
Judge Andrade. When Andrade heard
that the case was in federal hands, it
was stricken but later Humphreys had
it reinstated and the two were tried
and sentenced. This did not at the
time release them from federal custody,
but it is now said that Humphreys will
claim prior conviction and it remains
with the court to decide whether that
prior conviction can be considered bind
ing in this case.

WHEAT DECLINES
 IN QUIET MARKET Sharp Advances Are Made In
 Corn and Oats WHEAT MOVEMENT STEADY Decided Strength Marks the Trading in Corn and New High Record Is Made-oats Are Strong and
 Provisions Steady.
WHEAT MOVEMENT STEADY

Chicago, February 1S.-Interest in the bull campaign in wheat experienced par tial relapse today on sharp advances in corn and oats which attracted the at tention of traders to coarse grains. After a tame session wheat closed easy at net losses for the day of 1sc to hQ9se. Corn closed 2s69sc higher; oats, 7sa1c higher: provisions, 21a@71Ac higher compared to the previous close.
 The most important item of news for the wheat trade at the opening was the estimate cabled that Argentine shipments of wheat for the week were likely to reach 6,0O0,000 bushels. This prediction on the movement from the South American country was soon followed by one on the weeks movement from Australia, which placed exports from that country al 2400 bushels There was general selling by commission houses, and also some profit taking by the leading holders. Toward midday a frmer tone developed. Trade in the pit, however, was inclined to drag throughout the entire day. The range of prices was narrow.
 The market closed easy. with May at S1 133sQ1 IA and July at $1.00h
 Decided strength marked trading in the corn pit, the May delivery scoring a new high record mark for the present upward
 
 equally strong. The market reacted from the high point of the day, owing to sell ing by cash interests, but closed firm, with May at 661sQ661Ac and July at 659sc.
 Oats scored a net gain of 1c for the day compared with the closing quota tions of the previous session. During the day the May delivery sold at 5514c, a new high record for the season. Trading was unusually active The demand was based mainly on the stocks of oats in store, which are said to be extremely light, and on the reserves which are said to be far below those of last year The mar ket closed strong at almost the top, with May at 551s45514c, and July at 497sc.
 Provisions were rather weak at the start owing to 10c decline in live hogs, but rallied with the bulge in coarse grains and closed at a net advance of 21aI5c to 511ac. Trade was quiet nearly all day.
 Cash quotations ranged as follows:

Columbus, O., February 1S.-After a thorough examination, the state insur- ance commissioners of Michigan, Con- necticut, Maryland, Virginia, Minnesota and Ohio have decided that the action of the directions of the Union Central Life Insurance company of Cincinnati of which the late Gov. John M. Pat tison was president, in issuing $4OO,- 900 new stock and taking the money to pay for it out of funds in the treasury alleged to be profits on non-partici- pating policy business, the statement being made by the directors that these profits amounted to $779,7SS, whereas the reports of the company on file with the state insurance commissioner indicate no such profit, if any, was it. legal and have joined in an ultimatum demanding that the stock be cancelled and that the money taken to pay for it be returned to the treasury.

ACTIVE DECLINE
 IN STOCK MARKET Selling Is General Without Any
 Demand to Meet It STEEL PRICES MAY DROP Fear of Reductions That May Be Made by the Steel Corporation Is Prin- cpaI Incentive To the Sharp
 Decline.
STEEL PRICES MAY DROP

New York, February 1S.-The stagnation that has prevailed in the stock market was changed today into an active selling movement, without any counter-balaneing demand to meet it. A severe inroad in prices was the conseqnenoe. The whole market hinged on the developments in the steel trade. While no formal announce ment was made during the session of the stock exchange, it was generally known that conferences were going on amongst officials of the United States Steel cor poration, which were likely to result in changes in the schedule of prices which has been determinedly held by the cor poration. The notable effect on senti- ment produced by this development owed it's strength to it's abrupt reversal from the supposed determination of the cor poration to hold to it's former policy.
 Reports that the independent steel com panies were making concessions and were getting what business was going were met depracatory comments on the small proportions of such business to the ca pacity of trade at large and it's lack of significance as a reflection of trade conditions. different view of the Southern seems to have been adopted some time yesterday. The stock market promptly took up the burden of this re- versal of policy and began to discount an expected cut in steel prices. The position was complicated by the fact that the market prices of the stocks of the United States Steel corporation had been held by main force as well as the prices of it's product
 Since the common stock was allotted to the corporations employees at 50, there has been a widespread assumption that adequate support would be given in the market to prevent the price falling below that point. The action of the stock dis couraged bear selling and prompted cov- ering of shorts as often as that account grew to anything like unwieldy propor- tions. The belief that the position so long maintained by the leading steel in terest was about to be abandoned, un dermlned the whole market. It was sup plemented as a factor by the fears that the state of E. H. Harriman's health was not such as to enable him to carry out the projects which have been a main in- centive to speculative confidence on the purpose of the large element in the mar ket.
 This feeling seemed to have taken hold of foreign markets well as this, and London sent important selling orders in the Hartman stocks to New York for

BUSINESS BRISK
 IN PRODUCE LINE

Business continued brisk yesterday along Morris avenue especially in the produce line. Commission merchants state that the cool weather has stimulated trade perceptibly and they are very optimistic. The only change noted in quotations is on Hines, which have advanced from s1 to s1.25 a hundred.
 The meat market is steady with un- changed quotations.
 Eggs are becoming more plentiful on the avenue, but quotations remain un- changed.
 In the grain and feedstuff market prices are still soaring. Yesterday there was a general advance on hay, there being an increase on all varieties of $1 per ton.
 The cotton market is steady and un- changed.

execution. It was notable fact at the same time that other stocks involved in Mir. Harriman's supposed plans were among those which showed some degree of resiste1ce to the prevailing depres- sion. There was a show of firmness also among the copper mining and refining in spite of a further marking down in the price of copper metal in New York and London. The progress of the dispute over freight differentials between Boston and seaboard trunk line terminals to the south, had some disturbing effect.
 Additional gold engagements for ship ment to South America had no influence of the money market, call loan rates showing some increased ease. The extent of the declines invited some large buy ing around the low levels by the bears in the taking of their profits on the short side. This rallied prIces and con- sderably reduced the extreme declines, but of course was downward again at the closing.
 Bonds were easy. Total sales, par value $f496O00.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.
