THE CHICAGO MARKET.

CHICAGO, March Wheat fell off
today in the early trading under the
influence of increased northwestern ar
rivals and a multitude Of favorable
crop reports. Opening figures were
from unchanged to n lower. Bearish
sentiment predominated in the pit. and
in the first hour May sloped down from
112% to 111h. The selling was scat
tered and buyers at times checked the
decline. much grain being absorbed at
112. The more distant futures followed
the course of the May delivery. Open
ing prices for May were unchanged to
- DOWN at 1929 to 112.
In the corn pit the bears controlled
the early trades, prices being generally
on a down grade with support scattered
and u~ninfuential. Opening figures were
from u to Is off. and in the first hour
the tendency was to the lower levels.
May opened A@% to 1a0% down, at
62E to 621a.
Oats were easier with the other
grains. although the fluctuations were
within narrow limits and some support
from commission houses developed ON
the low point. May moved between 45
and 44z, its opening figures. which
were unchanged to u down.
An increasingly heavy tone developed
later in the corn pit and prices fell off
from rs to IL. May moved from 624d
SIS to 615s. The close was weak with
May / cent off at 62@62is.
Another advance in live hog prices
in the packing centres brought with IL
higher prices for provisions at the out
set.
Pork advanced from 5 to 171s; lard
from 121k TO Is. and ribs from 5 TO 12h.
Lack of a pronounced buying demand
caused an easier o in the first hour
and much of the opening gain dissolved
Initial figures for the May products
were: Pork. 24.s71a; lard, 1915 to 1s.471f,
and ribs. 12.S7h to 1890.
The market continued to drag
throughout the day in the nearby de
livery. May fell off from 1928 to 11e1a
under the influence of large offerings.
The distant futures followed May for a
time, but rallied from the bottom
prices. The close was weak for May
at 111MG111H. 1Bd1k off. July was
firm at the finish, with September both
being h9A down, the closing figure,
being 1885 for July and 9s% 19s% for
| September.

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, March THE cotton
market opened easy, unchanged to
points lower, and quickly sold off to a
net loss of 9 to IS points under over
Sunday selling orders, attributed tt
rumors of bull clique liquidation on
Saturday, and a renewal Of bear pres
sure encouraged by relatively easy
cables. Covering checked the decline
after stop-loss orders had been exc,
cuted, and there was some bull support
on which the market rallied to within
4 to IL points of Saturdays closing
figures.
Trading was quiet late in the fore
noon and the tone of the market un-
certain. owing to the failure of aggres-
sive bull support to develop on the inn
provement following the early break.
Prices ruled about 6 TO 5 points net
lower.
The early selling seemed to have ex-
hausted the scattered offerings of long
cotton. and the market during the early
afternoon sold up to about the clos
ing prices of Saturday or covering by
early sellers and support from New
Orleans bull leaders. The improve
ment was barely maintained, as local
offerings increased on the bulge. but
the tone of the market appeared steady.

U. s. MINT SCALES
WEIGH TOO MUCH,
EXPERT FINDS
Test After IS Years Use Show
They Have Gained by
Oxidation.

WASHINGTON. March by coma
parison with the government system Of
weights here the discovery has been
made thai the brass troy pound, the
basis for the Standardization of the
weights used by the minis and assay
offices of the United States, has In
creased by oxidation seven one-thou-
sandths of a grain since it was brought
to this country in 1927.
A suggestion that the accretion by
oxidation to the pound probably had
amounted to two or three grains caused
CONSERVATION among the treasury
officials for a time. for gold coined on
such a basis would be profitable for
export as a cor modify. Iridio plati-
nun will be substituted as a standard
for the brass il Congress sanctions the
change. This metal is used in most
countries and at the bureau of stand
ards.
The brass troy pound was brought to
the United States by Albert Gallatin,
the minister to England, in 1927, and
since that time has been the standard
of the American mint. 1t is kept with
in the innermost of three separate
boxes at Philadelphia and is opened
but once a year., on the occasion of the
visit of the government assay COM
mission appointed by the President to
test the weight and fineness of the
coins of the United States.
A key to each of the boxes is kept in
different cities, thus preventing any
thorized persons. The discovery of the
change in the metal is due to Edward
Rigg, the superintendent of the ma
chinery of the royal mint at London
who, at the invitation of A. Piatt. An
drew, the director of the United States
mint, was present at the meeting O,
the Assay Commission at Philadelphia
When he was told hat the standard
weight shown to him was the samt
that had been in use for eighty-thret
years, he expressed the greatest sur
prise, at the same time suggesting tina
in all probability there was a consid-
| cradle accretion in grains, duet to tn
lapse of time.
AS the treatury has accepted and
coined the gold on the same basis o
weights. it has not lost any money
Following the disclosure the calcula
ton was reached that the difference
| between the two on 500. 900, 900 of golt
coinage would amount to s121.55. The
coinage last year amounted to $S9, 900,
900.

IN THE WORLD OF FINANCE
SCHIFF'S WAR WARNING
ROUSES N. Y. BANKERS.

NEW YORK, March THE note Of
warning that Jacob H. Sehiff, the
banker. sounded regarding the situa-
ton in the far east and the possibility
Of a war with Japan. was discussed in
the board rooms Of many banking
houses today. Mr.. Schiff helped finance
Japan in her war with Russia. Mr..
Schiff made it clear today that the
worlds peace was threatened by the
recent union of Japan and Russia with
Great Britain in the background. The
banker said:
My remarks were based solely upon
my own observations of the situation
and not upon any specific information.
/ spoke of a coming struggle. but not
of war. and simply desired TO arous
the people of the United States to the
necessity OF promptly meeting the stu
alton in a spirit of righteousness.
1T was with this thought in mind
that 1 ended my remarks with the
words of the prophet. Not by might
and not by power. but in My spirit.

JUSTICE, IN TEARS,
SENDS OWN son
AND GIRL TO JAIL
Youths Wife and MOther-in-
Law Trap Him and Cause
Arrest.

BRIDGETON, March 1T is bad
enough for a young man of respectable
family to be in Jail at all. but to be
sent there by ones own father on the
testimony of ones own mother and
wife looks to Harry johnson like hard
luck. Harry is the young son of Justice
of the Peace "A. p. Johnson, of the Sec
ond ward, this city. He has been mar
ried two years. He and his wife 1--we
with the old folks. The daughter-in-
law has become very much attached
to them. and they to her, so hat when
suspicious crept into her life all theif
sympathies went out to her.
Young Mrs. johnson began to notice
some time ago that her husband had
grown rather cold to her. She kept her
own counsel for a time, but later COM
m%unicated her fears to her mother-in-
law. The elder Mrs. johnson, despite
the mother love, decided that no boy
of hers should ill-treat his wife, ano
there was a decision to break up what
they were sure was an alliance else
where.
The two unhappy women-the mother
and wife-started out last night, soor
after young Johnson left the house, os-
tensibly to Ego downtown They saw
him board a trolley car. and. getting
the next one, learned that he hao
dropped off at Fairton. They were moi
long discovering his whereabouts, as
friends aided them on the trail. They
said they found young Johnson at thu
home of Jennie Vineyard, III Fairton
and, quietly peering through a win
dow over which the shade was but part
ly drawn, they say they saw the cul'
prit with her in a loving embrace
There was a smash of glass, and thu
angered women walked into the house
seeking vengeance. Young Johnson es'
capped by a rear door, and the girl alst
managed to get away for a time. Mrs
Johnson, senior and Junior, returned
10 Bridgeton and impaired their infor
nation to Justice Johnson. who ISSUED
o warrant for the arrest of his son ant
the girl. They were later brought t.
! his Office. With tears streaming dow
his face, the squire read h complain
made by the wife. and then formal,
| committed the pair to Jail, in defaul
OF bail, pon a charge of disorderl,
conduct.
