WASHINGTON, May 29.-secretary
Dickinson said today that in accord
ance with the specific instructions of
the president the estimates for the
military establishment for the fiscal
year 1911 would be $20,000,000 less than

possible to make any reduction in the

Establishments

PRICES STEADY
 IN STOCK MARKET Trading Is Dull Owing to the
 Stormy Weather SPECIAL STOCKS STRONG Union Pacific Recovers From Pre- vious Days Weakness and South ern Railway Stocks Respond
 To Sale of Bonds.

New York, April 30.-The stock market was dull today partly due to interrup- tion with the western part of the con tinent by the storm. Few orders were received from outside sources and news of conditions in the .storm area was scanty. The weather conditions were con- sidered unfavorable and the further rise in the price of wheat was another index of this view. Prices were held up to some extent by the sympathetic effect of the strength in special stocks Union Pa cifc recovered from yesterdays decline and this had much to do in allaying the apprehension regarding the speculative position which was caused by that de- cline. Reading had the benefit of the signing of the agreement with the an- thracite miners. The Southern railway stocks responded to news of the sale of further development bonds.
 Relief was felt at the quiet manner in which the London market accepted the British budget statement. There was an undertone of anxiety also as to the sit uation in Paris. where the approach of May day has been expected with some dread, owing to the fear of labor dem- onstrations and a possible general strike to signalize the Nower of the labor or ganizations. Gt
 The hardening oS the money market early in the week has had the effect of attracting funds to New York from the interior. Sub-treasury operations have taken $4 ,000 from the banks during the week, this amount including the $2,0OO,0O0 shipped to France and a payment of a million dollars by the American Sugar Refining company on account of its set clement with the government of the fraud cases in course of prosecution
 Bonds were irregular Total sales, s6,- 100000.
 United States bonds were unchanged on all.

WHEAT MARKET
 IS VERY UNSETTLED
Prices Gain At the Start on
 General Buying
CLOSING FIGURES LOWER
Corn Becomes Weak After Fluctuat- ing Nearly All Day and the Close Is Lower-Oats Are Weak
 and Provisions Steady.

Chicago, April 30-Wheat prices scored a further advance early in the session to- day, but lost all of the gain on realizing CT to 1ac lower, compared with the pre- vious close. Corn and oats also closed weak, but provisions were steady.
 Unfavorable weather advices from the northwest was the occasion for a strong opening in the wheat market. Snow storms, accompanied by a drop in the temperature, were reported in the Cana dian northwest, while across the boundary line equally unfavorable weather for seed ing prevailed, although the temperature was higher farther north. There was a good general demand at the start. and in itiaI quotations were unchanged to 5sc higher compared with the previous close July opened at s1.11%Q112S. After the first hour demand was less urgent and sentiment gradually became bearish. An official forecast of clear weather tomorrow through Minnesota and Dakota was part ly responsible for the change of senti- ment. Pit traders and local holders be- came free sellers, resulting in sharp re- actions in July The price dropped from $112s4- to $1.10M. The May delivery held relatively more steady than the more dis tant deliveries, and sold between 12S4 and $124%. The close was at about the low point of the day. with July at s111A and May at $1.23szq1. .237s
 The corn market was a ohoppy affair nearly all day, and finally turned weak in sympathy with the break in wheat. Wet weather in the corn belt was a bullish factor early in the session. Despite the unfavorable weather, however the official estimate on arrivals for tomorrow showed a considerable increase, and this helped to inspire the bearish sentiment later in the day The market closed weak at almost the bottom, with May 12Qssc lower, at 701sc.
 Buying brought out by continued cold weather in the north west and west caused moderate advances in the price of oats early in the day, but all of the gain was lost on selling based on the slump in other grains At the close prices were un- changed to Ac lower compared with yes terday's final quotations, May being at 557sc
 Trade in provisions was quiet, but a moderately firm tone prevailed, owing to buying based on expectations that to- morrow's statement on stocks in store here would be bullish. Prices at the close were unchanged to 5071ac higher.
 Leading futures ranged as follows:

Sale of Rifles stonned.

Huntsville,>April 3O.-(Special.)-A heavy license has been placed by the city coun- ell of Huntsville on the business of sell ing rifles of large calibre and the cart ridges therefor. The board held a spe- cial meeting last night and adopted a new ordinance to stop the sale of high power rifles that have been shipped in here and placed in the hands of dealers for sale at very low prices. The major ity of the rifles sent here are of the Swiss type that was cast off by the United States army when the Krag- -Jorgensen was adopted. They are dangerous weap- ons and the fact that they were sold at bargain prices averaging about $4, caused apprehension that many of them would fall into the hands of vicious persons. The new city ordinance places license of $500 on the business of selling rifles of more than .22 calibre and a license of S200 for selling cartridges. No dealer here will pay the license and all of the undesirable guns that have not been sold will be shipped back.
