Companies to Give Figures.
Lansing, Mich, July 1.-Among
other things which the state railway
commission will ask OF the express
companies of the state i'm an effort TO
properly adjust rates, will be a sworn
statement from each as To the Michi-
gan earnings. Companies have been
asked to present their case before the
board, that all information possible
may be at hand.
IL is stated by the railway commits
sion that there is no fixed rule for
making rates i'm the state and that i'm
many cases, IL believes they are too
high. The method Of fixing freight
rates will probably be employed at the
express rate problem.
one of the little matters which the
board proposes to wipe out is the hab-
it of express companies of charging
shippers IS for copies of their tariff
schedules.

Prices Decline After the Opening in Spite of Fair Demand But Buying Is Not Aggressive and Close

New York, April 26--There was a sharp realizing and a renewal of bear pres sure, based on a feeling that yesterdays s crop damage reports had been greatly exaggerated and that. supposing the seed to be available for replanting, there was still plenty of time to raise a large crop. The market closed easy at net loss of 10 to 25 points.
 The market opened steady at unchanged prices to a decline of points in response to disappointing cables, and while at the start there was big overnight demand, due to continued reports of scarcity of seed and new crop damage, prices grad ually eased off. After showing a net loss of about Il to IT points on active positions there was a rally, owing to rel ative strength of May, which showed de- clines of only points under the closing figures of last night and covering, but there was no aggressive buying and the market weakened again. reaching the lowest point in the late trading under heavy selling for both accounts, which 5CcHed pdItly lO dH lSdolii6 DCiiSi that the May short interest was fully protected by cotton available for delivery on contract.
 May eased off with the rest of the list toward the close, but lost only 10 points, comparing with a loss of from 22 to 9 points on new crop deliveries. Crop damage complaints were less uumer- ous than yesterday and some reassuring reports came through, suggesting that the damage had not been irreparable at this season of the year.
 Southern bull leaders gave the market some support during the early trading, but were not active buyers, while in the last hour offerings were general and the south was a considerable seller here during the day.

TRIAL OF DOCTOR
 ON MURDER CHARGE

Baton Rouge, La, April 26.-Contrary trial for the murder of E. K Judson, did not take the stand in his own behalf here today. He will make his statement tomorrow The defense introduced sev- erai witnesses this afternoon who testi- fled that they had seen the physician driving out of Jackson alone on the aft ernoon of the murder, and one of these witnesses, Charles Lee, living several miles from Jackson, swore that Dr. Me Kowen had come to his home in response to a professional call. ,,.t -I
 The prosecution believes that it has built up conclusive case, so far as cir cumstantial evidence goes, against the Jackson physician. It brought out test- mony to show that Judson had visited McKowen on the day preceding the dis covery of the formers slain body several miles from Jackson; that the two had been seen to drive out of Jackson on the same afternoon; that a vehicle, identi- fled as belonging to the doctor. had been remains were found. and that MeKowen indicted by federal grand jury for send ing scurrilous matter through the mails, had approached an attache of the in- sane asylum regarding.

SEVERE DECLINE
 IN WHEAT MARKET
Damage to Crop Not as Great
 as First Reported
WEATHER CLEARS FAST
Corn Is Adversely Affected By Weak ness in Wheat and the Close Is Lower-Oats and Provisions
 Also Turn Downward

Chicago, April 26-It was bear day ir all the pits. Belief that the abnormal weather has not thus far badly hurt the growing crops took possession of the minds of majority of traders. Sudden weakness at, Liverpool and in other for eign markets tended also to cause a ner- Yous feeling here, and after an active session wheat closed at net loss of 11sc 10 2c, the latter for July. Corn and oats 3sc to 1c down. There was a net decline of 171tc to 621ac in provisions.
 The wheat market was we'll supplied on the hard spots, but notwithstanding g that nearly all the news was of char acter to disturb holders, the bears were disposed to be cautious and on weak spots made practice of covering shorts. The statement of the worlds available supply, showing a decrease of more than 100000 bushels last week, helped to produce a temporary rally. The down ward path was taken again, however, about the time that reports were circu- ly warming up and that the day was clear west of the Mississippi river.
 A final rap was given to prices by pre- dictions of 25.00o000 bushels of wheat this year in Texas, as against about 5,00o 00O last year The close was fairly steady, but almost the bottom for the day. The May option, which was typical as a whole. opened hc to 1sc lower, at $1.091a. d1. .09N, and with numerous fluctuations sold down to s1.0sA and closed at s1.oSas@ s1 .0s1s.
 Corn was adversely affected by the weakness of wheat and by the disappear ance of buyers in the cash market Esti mated receipts of only 45 cars for to- morrow caused only q temporary rally, and this was met with liberal selling. Prices for cash corn were steady to 1c higher. No. yellow sold at 61ho. May corn opened lsc to ssc lower, at beasc, to 59c; sold down to 59Ac, rallied to 5s%c, fell to 59hc and closed steady at 59BQ 5914c.
 Unloading of long oats was the order of the day with recent buyers, the bulk of todays reports indicating that the crop was coming along better than had been expected in view of the weather con- ditions. May oats opened about asQ%c lower at 423s@425sc, sold to 42lsc and closed steady at 421sc@42Ac.
 Lack of new demand took the bottom out of the provision market. The finish was weak Almost the only sign of firm ress was after the opening. Compared with last night pork closed b5G621ac orr lard 1715Q25c, and ribs, 271Rc
