CHICAGO, April 4.-Despite a prepon-
derance Of bearish news the wheat mar
ket developed moderate f1rnness during
early trading today owing to buying in
spired by continued dry weather in Kan
sas An official forecast of clear weather
in that state for the next twenty-four
hours gave additional encouragement to
the bulls. An Unexpectedly large volume
of worlds shipments, an increase in the
amount on passage and weakness at
Liverpool were the leading bearsh in
Aaas lower to Il higher. July being at
1O71a to 1O6ss, and September at 1O37s
to 1O3M During the first hour July
advanced to LOTS and September to
LOIS.
The moderate advance in wheat caused
a fair rally in the corn market, following
slight weakness at the start, due to gen.
eral selling by commission houses. Shorts
covered quite freely early in the day.
which caused the May delivery TO adj
vance to 6O7sa61, from an opening a shade
to AaA of, at 6Ofs to 6Oas.
Oats were rather weak at the opening
because of the heaviness of corn. but the
market soon became firmer on buying by
commission houses. The May delivery
opened haA to Aaas lower, at AN to An,
and sold up to 42ha43
Provisions were strong early in the day,
owing to brisk demand by shorts and
packers Offerings were light. Prices at
the opening were IN to Zoe higher, the
greatest gains being noted in pork and
lard. May pork opened at $500 to $3.50,

STATUTE IS ILLEGAL
Supreme Court UphoIds Rail-
roads Rights in Nebraska.
AS TO SWITCH FACILITIES
Need Not Be Granted to All Grain
Elevators, Rules Tribunal.
RESULT OF A LONG FIGHT
Decision Holds That Property Of the
Railways Cannot Be Taken
Without Compensation.
RESULT OF A LONG FIGHT

The statute of nebraska. enacted in
1905. requiring railroads to grant
switching facilities to all grain ele-
vators along their right Of way was
dscla red unconstitutional today by the
supreme Court of the United States.
However. it was added that the de-.
cision should not prejudice cases aris-
ing under the law as amended recently
Justice Holmes. in announcing the
opinion of the court said that railroads.
like other owners CT property. had rights
that were protected by the Constitution,
without compensation. He held the law
did take the property of the railroad
without compensation, and hence the law
was unconstitutional.
Law Ras Been Amended
However. he said. it was agreed that
the amended law had been amended so
as TO give the railroads compensation for
the taking of their property. He had
looked at the statute as amended. he add
ed. and found this was so, yet as the
case before the court originated before
these amendments became effective. the
decision of the .Nebraskan courts must be
reversed. without prejudice to cases aris-
ing under the law as amended.
The constitutionalty of the statute was
first attacked in the courts OF Nebraska.
The law was passed as q result of the
agitation against the alleged combination
In the state between grain dealers and
the owners of elevators to control the
price of grain.
Shortly after its passage farmers in
the vicinity OF Manley Neb., little
town OF 200 Inhabitants, being dissatis-
fed with the price offered by the own
ers of the two elevators which had
ben erected on the right-of-way of
the Missouri tacific Railway Company.
constructed their own elevator alon z
the railroads right-of-way. but the
railroad officials refused to give them
switching facilities, as required by the
act of 1895.
State Brought Action.
The state thereupon brought action to
recover the penalty imposed by the stat
ute. Judgment for the amount $500, was
awarded the state. From this an appeal
VAS taken TO the Supreme Court The
law was attacked as unconstitutional be-
cause ii took property without due pro-
cess of law and because II was class legis-
lstion, inasmUch as 1t applied only to
elevators OF not less than lo.0n bushels
capacity. The Jurisdiction of the state
court was also attacked.
