 "It just makes my blood boil with indignation, as it does all true Alas kans, to get to talking about Aiaska's treatment at the hands of the govern ment. It is little short of an outrage that men who have spent the best years of their lives in the North developing the resources of the country, adding something real and tangible to the wealth of the country, cannot secure coal even to heat their houses, to say nothing of securing coal to develop still further mineral resources. The government takes position which makes it appear that we are trying to steal something when we try to secure coal claims. Even the men who have helped to make Alaska the valuable possession it is, get nothing but the worst kind of treatment from the gov ernment."-Martin Harrais, of the Tan- ana.

NEW YORK, April ga nervous
temper in the speculation is indicated
bv the sudden and violent shifts in the
price movement which stocks are un-
dergoing. The severe declines Of Mon
day were almost entirely recovered in
a convulsive advance at the opening to-
day. rejecting the unwillingness Of the
bears to maintain the position they had
taken by short sales the day before.
Quotations for cotton and grain mega
tived in the idea of disastrous damage
to the crops such as had been implied
and the covering movement by the
bears was then extended.
Aggressive buying of United states
Steel and revived reports that the divl-
dend was to be increased helped on the
recovery.
The bulls also made the most of the
reduction in the price paid for Amerl-
can Eagles by the Bank of England
and the assumption that this implied
cessation of the gold export movement
The reassuring effect on sentiment or
the decline in cotton and grain prices
passed away to some extent with the
publication Of weather forecasts of the
continuance and extension of the cold
wave. The tone of the weather bureau 8
weekly bulletin gives so serious a view
of the situation as to awaken renewed
anxiety.
The addition of 100000 to the en-
gagement Of gold for shipment to Lon
don tomorrow brought the total for
the week to $14500, 900, which continues
a record outgo for one week, with the
single exception of the week ending
May q, 1904 when $15,363S1O was
shipped to France in making the pay
ment for the panama canal.
Preparations for the monthly settle
ment and the political unrest in Eng
land were factors in sustaining the dis
count rate in the lead market. Call
loans here were but trihe frmer, but
the gold outflow has reached such for
midable proportions as to prove porten-
tous The change from early belief
that the movement was ended TO the
prospect of further gold shipments was
an element in the later transformation
OF speculative sentiment
The L. S. Steel dividend action and
the quarterly statement, published
after the stock market closed, threw no
light on its action. Earnings were less
than the preliminary gueses. but the
untitled orders on hand had not fallen
to as low a stage as official intimations
has suggested they might.

CHICAGO. April 26-At its highest point to-
day wheat was "a to 4 cent lower than yes
terday's close The character Of the selling
today was very good. The market was we'll
supplied on the hard spots. Bears, however,
acted with much more caution and did not
press the market weak spots, generally
covering shorts. A leading elevator concern
sold September wheat freely. 1t had previ-
ously been a buyer for several days. The
bulk of the days news was bearish. Cash
wheat again lapsed into extreme dullness.
Crop prospects continue sood, except for COM
plants of thin stand in parts Of Illinois. The
weather f. slowly warming up and It is now
clear west Of the Mississippi river It looks
as though We must get some OF the initiation
out of these high priced wheats before this
can be a two-sided market.
Corn did not hold mp 10 Yesterdays promise,
hut sold off with wheat, and on reflection Of
poor cash demand. Recent advances in the
price of cash corn put intending buyers into
retirement Although cars here were only 92
and cash prices in sample market steady to
cent higher the sales for the day have
aggregated only $4,000 bushels. What strength
was shown came from horts covering.
Although the news of the day was Of a
buIlish sort, the provision market went de-
cidedly the other direction. Lack of new de-
mand or support from any other source was a
more prominent feature than the selling pres
sure. The latter was rather unimportant.
