Provisions for a Fishing Schooner
From the Boston Herald.

How much sugar do you suppose
twenty-three men will consume in one
week aboard a fishing schooner? About
80 pounds How much rolled oats and
oatmeal? A bushel basket twice full of
two-pound packages. How about meat i?
Half steer for roasts, steaks. stews and
corned beef Potatoes? About three
bushels. Pickles, bacon and cabbage find
a place aboard the vessels in large guam
titles. Then there's the salt pork for
fish chowders and fried fish. for crews
of fishing craft are VIGOROUSLY fond of
sea food.
The vessels are kept stocked with pro-
visions to last a week or ten days longer
than the time generally required to make
a trip to the grounds and return. Some
of the schoonerS have water tanks of
1000 gallons capacity. which are filed by
supply boats at the rate of one-half cent
a gallon.

Half of the wickedness of life is owing

is good. He revives, like a flower re-

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO, February 27.-Wheat prices
touched new high record marks for the
season at'the opening Of the market to-
day, the May delivery selling at $119.
and the July option at 1865. A further
freshafuel to bullish enthusiasm, and the
market opened amid intense excitement
with prices ranging from 1se below to &c
above the final quotations of the previous
session. First trades on May were at
1884 to 11S7s, while July at the same
time sold between 1.G5A and 1CJ7s Be-
fore the early rush of buyers had been
satisfied May had been bid up to 49,
Prices then declined abruptly on profit
taking to about yesterdays closing level,
May dropping back to lis and July
to 1.051sa1 05l4.
The fresh advance in wheat caused a
firm opening in corn. May opened at 66ss
to t6aaa667s, and July at 6J7s to &c. Early
in the day prices reacted on selling based
on increased local receipts, May DECLINING
to G61aaf65s.
May oats opened shade higher at 55s
and sold at 90
Provisions opened unchanged to nc
higher.
Although wheat sentiment was very
bullish the greater part of the day. prices
failed to again reach the opening high
level. Late in the session some reaction
occurred on realizing sales. May declining
to 1.177s and July to 1.14s4. The market
closed easy. with May off IS at lis. July
was LAS lower, at 1.Oia1. 041s.
For May corn the low point was reached
at 661s. The market was dull and steady

Marked Weakness in Reading.

The weekly returns of the mercantile
agencies upon the state of the country S
trade were again rather discouraging ex:
hibits. In great measure the irregular
course of the stock market after opening
transactions was more or less accounted
for by the development of marked weak
ness in Reading.
The selling of that stock was. of course,
based upon apprehensions that Monday
the Supreme Court might render its de-
cisiOn in the so-called commodities case
and that the ruling of the bench would
be adverse to the Reading company.
Otherwise it did not appear to be the
case that the movements in individual
stocks had any other than technical eX-
plantations and the fluctuations in the
various quarters of the market were fair
" uniform.
The local traction shares reflected a
good deal of pressure as the morning pro-
crossed, but otherwise there was no i'm
portant change in the appearance of the
stock market.
Reading continued the most active fea-
ture of the dealings. and. while the stock
rallied from its low point, its course was
still held accountable for the irregularity
of the general market.

NEW YORK, February 21.-The stock
market developed irregular and reaction
airy tendencies today after having shown
quite pronounced degree of strength in
the early transactions. The upward move
ment at the outset was commonly de-
scribed as being renewal of the tenden-
cies exhibited yesterday, and was mot to
he accounted for by any more definite
reasons apart from internal market con-
dtions than was the case then.
American shares were, however, strong
in the London stock market in common
with the other departments there. and
buying orders on a moderate scale for
foreign account were executed in the local
dealings.
There was a virtual absence of any
news OF importance overnight bearing
upon the financial situation at large of
particular stocks.
The expectations expressed by the
President-elect, that the work of revising
the tariff would be completed by June l.,
exercised a rather favorable effect. but it
appeared to be the consensus of opinion
that the undertaking in question could
scarcely be carried out within such a
short space of time.

AS the week just closed Is the last of the

Heading objects of interest in the field of
local legislation. The Importance of the
probable action of Congress in this par
tlcular was foreshadowed in the movement
of the stock in the local market where it
again almost reached the so mark, where
1t had been two years before.
During the past week or ten days the
prospects of anything favorable being
done by Congress were evidently looked
upon as diminishing and in consequence
the market figures for the stock have de-
ciined. No other security on the list has
been affected by what Congress has and
has not done as the class of securities
| that are usually most Influenced, namely
the traction securities, were not the sub
ject of congressional attention during the
session.
The Union station legislation took these
companies out of this field of action. and
1t Is believed, for some years. At one
time there was a prospect that the local
railway situation would come up before
the national legislature I'm connection
with the bill of the Baltimore and Wash
ington trolley line asking for the right to
build tracks through the District to 18th
street and New York avenue.
This application was abandoned when

pany TO use its tracks to the city center
named. There is generally a good deal of
uneasness during session of Congress

The Markets.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All
The Leading Stocks.

New York. Aug. 4.-Operations i nthe
stock market today We're governed large
ly by the circumstances attending the
arrival of Mr.. Hartman. Almost all other
conditions ornufi j nFo shrdlu shrdl
considerations factors were overShadoW-
ed by this one event. 1t was, in truth, a
waiting market-waiting for word, good,
bad or Notwithstanding the distin-
guished passenger on the transatlantic
liner The street" was showered all day
with bulletins recording the passage OF
the ship towards port and some encour-
aSement was manifested in a wireless
message sent by the railroad magnate to
The Associated Press some hours in adj
vance of his landing wherein he spoke
OF his condition as being good and reit-
Grated his statement of June l last, the
substance of which was that the country
was going forward in a highly satisfac-
tory manner.
Opening process were a reflection of the
uncertain undertone. The movement was
irregular, with fractional advances in
many of the better known issues which
We're soon turned to substantial losses
From this low level there was rally
and some activity until noon when an
nouncement of the regular dividends on
Union Pacific common and preferred, and
Southern Pacific common gave the shorts
another excuse to sell those stocks. Re-
covery was very rapid, however, and by
o'clock practically the whole list was
above the previous days best prices.
Reading and United States Steel were
the most conspicuous issues the latter
advancing to within a fraction of its re-
cent high record. Union Pacific and Con-
solidated Gas had advanced materially,
with later movements in Erie and Ma
ticnal Lead. The market as a whole was
rather narrow and with a marked di-
mnution in the volume of business. Firm
ness prevailed during the final hour with
some revival of the early activity. but the
closing was dull and generally lower than
on the previous day.
Among the few exceptions were Cana
dian Pacific, Denver & Rio Grande. Read
ing and Wabash among the railers, and
United States Steel. Consolidated Gas
BROOKLYN. Union Gas. National Lead and
the local fractions, all of which registered
net gains. Apart from rather sanguine
forecasts regarding the earnings of the
United States Steel Corporation for the
current quarter, the most interesting in
dustrial news of the day was an adj
vance by one of the Independent mills of
81 per ton in Steel bars. 1t is believed that
this move will be followed by other man
ufacturers.
The bond market was irregular in SYM
pathy with the movement in stocks. To-
tai sales. par value. $2.967, 900.
Government bonds were unchanged.

Boston Wool Market.

Boston, Aug "A, 1y09.
The receipts of wool for the week were
2401, 791 bales of foreign and 7.Si1 ,912 bales
domestic against 2,310327 bales foreign
and sos bales domestic for the same
time last year.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. in wool has been
on a tremendous scale in the local market
during the past week. The seven days
business is varously estimated at from
az, 00G0 600 to $4,000 900 pounds, but the small
er estimate is considered rather conserva-
tive. since the takngs of the American
Wooden company alone have amounted to
fully 100000 pounds, if not more, and
other large consumers beside that con-
Germ have been buying during the week.
AS was minated in these columns last
week. the American Wooden company has
concluded negotiations for nearly all of
the Montana woods owned by local
dealers; the amount involved is placed at
25,00O0O0 pounds and in addition. this COM
pany has also taken hold of other terri
tory woods quite freely and in large
who have been in the market also have
been large. but the trading has not been
as diversified as it was recently. The
dealings have been very chiefly in terri
transfers of Texas. California and New
Mexico woods have been made. Fleece
woods have done little and there has not
been much trading in imported stock.
Moreover, some five or six houses have
done nearly all of the business.
In spite of these conditions, however,
activity. and the sales that have been
made, added to those previously reported,
have strengthened an already strong sit
uation. Prices previously were little
slow to respond to large sales, but they
have made distinct advances during the
past week and everything points to still
higher level in the future. 1t is figured,
including the business of the past week,
that very nearly Ntwo-thrds of the Boston
allotment of the\ total domestic clip has
already been marketed. The total clip
amounts this year to somewhere about
300 OOO. 900 pounds. of which about 100000 c0
pounds were secured by Boston houses;
thus thirds of the local supply
would be about 100000, 900.
