CHICAGO GRAIN

Special service to The Herald by J. C. Will
son, member OF the Chicago board OF trade,
New York stock exchange and San Francisco
bond and stock exchange 212 West Fifth
street, Los Angeles.
CHICAGO, April 23.-The wheat market to-
day was a continuation of that of the last
preceding three days. Backsets were few ana
fractional. and the movement upward was
practically continuous and entirely irregular.
The unseasonably cold weather gave erect TO
claims of crop damage that have been coming
from Nebraska and Kansas. The latter are
to the effect that the cold and high winds
are causing deterioration in the wstern por-
tions where reports heretofore have been good.
Corn showed further improvement, but there
was less general interest relatively than in
wheat and oats. The weeks shipments out
of Chicago were over 100000 bushels larger
than the receipts, and there is better cash
business being done eastern shipping ac-
count and possibly for export than is being
reported There were 600 bushels Cancelled
out of PUBLIC elevators this week in addition
TO the shipnients from private houses and 1t
may be that the deliveries on May contracts
will be smaller than had been expected.
Big general trade in oats largest In long
time. There was immense buying to cover by
local shorts who were frightened at the large
accession of buying orders by receivers VINO
were acting for Iowa ana northern and CEN
trail Illinois account. The latter sections are
somewhat Influenced by fears of damage from
last nights freeze. The latter undoubtedly
have greatly damaged all tender vegetation.
Provisions started strong, but sold back
under pressure to about yesterdays level
Early advance was on higher hog prices and
light hog receipts west also the grain adj
vance, but selling was from powerful ana sue
cessful local traders.

;TEEL DIVIDEND IS AWAITED
fAssnciated press1

NEW YORK, April 23.-Almost total
stagnation prevailed on the stock mar
ket today. The intense dulness masked
some tension of sentiment which was
a reflection in part of repressed excite
ment IN the cotton market The situa-
tion created by the Intervention OF the
government to prosecute the pool whlcn
is supposed to control the supply OF
cotton for May delivery has thrown
the market into great confusion. The
weeks liquidation in stocks Is be-
lieved TO have come partly from
sources involved i'm the cotton specu-
lation.
The stock spectators have come APP
parently to a determination to await
the action of the United States steel
directors on the dividend next Tues
day, and the. showing of quarterly earn
ings to be then reported. Opinions
vary greatly, not only as to the prob
able dividend action, but as to the
probable market effect of any specified
dividend declaration. This confusion
arises from the probability that market
operations in United States steel are
being prompted by trade conditions or
prospects rather than by the imme-
diate action of directors. The stock
sneculation made almost no demand
on the money market. Hence the dull
and easy money market i'll spite or
the gold Withdrawals. and the extend
ed loan position of the banks OF the
country us a whole. A rise In net sur
plus of idle freight cars In two weeks
from 25. .ss6 on March 30 to 1887 on
April 13 was taken as corroboratiVe
of the trend of opinions in trade con-
ditions. .
The surprise i'm the bank statement
was the Increase in the actual loan
item Of the clearing house banks ana
I'm the average lians OF others. Inc
small changes in the cash item was
about as expected.
Bonds were irregular; total sales, par
value, $4,000. United states fours'
coupon. have declined 4 per cent IN
the bid price on call since last week.

JUDGE RAITERREE
 WILL SOON RETIRE

Little Rock. May 25.--Judge +. R Ratterree, who for the past four years has served as police judge ot Llttie Rock. and as such has made reputa- tion all over the United States for hls unioue methods of dealing with crim- inaIs. will not be a candidate for re election in the primaries next spnhg:
 Little Rock people will not know of the determination- on the part or
 Judge Ratterree until 1t Wanders pack to the city through these columns. Judge Ratterrec, man. seaiceiN over 30 years of age, has achieved qulte a reputation as a dispenser oi justice and his court has done a great deal to make Little Rock a Iaw-ablding clty. Judge Ratterree has the instinct pE which he can assort the criminals which are brought before him, pick ing out those who have made q mere slip in walking down the straight and narrow path. and dealing with them accordingly He has made believers in the law out of the shiftless negroes of the city, through long terms on the county farm, and floating crlmln- als who fall into his hands get the same dose. This has made Little Rock a good place to live in. He has made such an exceptionally good pc lice judge that those who would like to have the position in Little Rock, knowing it would be folly to attempt to defeat him, have stood aside and waited until he would decline to long CT serve. Judge Ratterree is the owner of one of the largest real es- tate businesses in Little Rock and worked up the Arkansas Land Con gress, of which he is now the secre- tary. His duties to the Land Con gress have become so great that he had to give up something, so decided it should be the police court judge ship. As soon as Judge Ratterree intentions are made public a crop of candidates thicker than mushrooms after summer rain is expected to. spring up. Judge Ratterree was a resident of Fort Smith before nov ing to Little Rock While a boy he noticed all the traits of boys, so when he became police judge, he dealt with boys according to the ways he thought they should be, and as result he ac- the reformation of several gangs of bad boys, which infested Lit tie Rock.

ARKANSAS ADVERTISING
 FUND IS GROWING

Little Rock, May 25.-Railroads of Arkansas have been sending in to the Arkansas Land Congress and Arkan- sas Immigration Bureau the funds with which to carry on thc organlza- ton until the counties of the state have made their collections toward the advertising fund, which shows what the interest of the railroads IS m the upbuilding of the state. Notices have been received by Secretary E. R. Rat terree from the following counties showing the appointment of the town ship vice presidents to assist the coun- tv vice presidents in raising funds there: Lonoke, Pike, Newton, Union, Yell. Columbia, Lafayette, Ouachita, Montgomery, Dallas, Boone, Drew, Howard, Faulkner, Baxter and Chl- cot. These county and township vice presidents will now hold their meet ings and arrange for the big picnlcs at which they are to raise tie adver- tising fund for their county. 1t IS thought by the officers of the Land Congress that the counties of the state will average $1,000, which will give S75,000 for advertising, instead ot tie $50.000 ascked for 0y the boald of control at it's last meeting. A fund of this kind would advertise Arllan- sas twice as much as $50,000. R. E.
