CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, April 2.-The wheat market
was weak at the opening of trading to-
day. owing to general selling based on
reports of rain in sections OF the south
west Several leading commission houses
were liberal sellers of the September de-
livery. Initial quotations showed losses
Of Il to Aa1c, the latter being on the
more distant future. July opened at 1.07h
to LOTS, and September at 1.O47s to 1O4&.
During early trading the market held
fairly steady at about the opening level.
although the July option dipped still
further to 1.O712 Official predictions of
showers for parts of Kansas tended to
keep prices down.
Weakness OF wheat, poor demand for
the cash grain and ideal weather condi-
tons fon farm work induced liberal sell
ing of corn early in the day, which re-
suited in moderate declines in all de-
liveries. The May delivery opened isak
to Aaasc lower, at 6112 to 61ss, and sold
off to 61A.
Oats were bearishly affected by the
weakness in wheat and corn, but the vol
ume OF trading was small. The May de-
livery opened a shade to "a lower. at 43A
Ia 43sa4314, and held within that range
early in the day.
Provisions experienced a severe slump
during the early trading. especially porx.
which cropped 40 to SOC from yesterdays
close. The break was caused by some
realizing sales which brought out lot
of stop loss orders. After opening 10c
lower. May dropped to 2510. May lard
opened &c lower at 1870 and declined to
1890. May ribs opened 21sc lower, at
1881 and sold off to 1880.

American Bankers Obliging.

The foreign exchange market was quiet
with a noticeable change from yester-
cay and no more apparent reason for gold
exports than yesterday furnished.
If all that is said in banking circles is
tue, the gold shipped today 10 London
was being sent not because we have to
send il, but because we feel like ac-
commodating the London banks, espec-
rally the Bank of England. If this is so
our bankers seem to be in the position of
supplying gold to encourage The insane
speculation in rubber shares which is now
devastating the United Kingdom.

To Europe by Air.

Stockholders in steamship lines have
no reason to apprehend the early loss
of their dividends in consequence OF the
rivalry Of air lines. 1t is true that
dirigihle balloons Of large dimensions are
now in use in Europe. and that one of
these monster gas bags is now being put
into final shape for scheduled flight
from this country 10 the Irish coast But
ii would be unwise for any investor 10
sell his holdings in profitable transporta-
ton companies OH this account The
chances of success in this case are slen-
der. The big balloon may sail to Ire
land and there make landing in safety.
II may even sail back 1t NAV make
several trips TO and from Europe. with
passengers, attracted by the novelty. But
the airship rival Of the steamboat is
not yet evolved, or even i'm prospect Air
planes will perhaps be developed be-
yond their present limitations but the

perimental flight soon to take place from

The Next National Conventions.

Nineteen hundred and twelve is OBJ
truding all along the line. Presidential
candidates have for some time been un-
der discussion. Rough drafts of national
platforms have been submitted I'm the
way OF gossip as feelers. Now some
observations are circulating as TO where
the national conventions will be held.
East. or west? or will compromises
again prevail in favor of the middle ter
rttory7
. The east seems to be under a ban. Both
parties shun il. Not since 1888 has a
presidential candidate been nominated in
that section. That year the democrats
met In New York and put up the i'll
starred ticket OF Seymour and Blair.
Wall street is responsible There is a
feeling west Of the Alleghenies that that
money-lined thoroughfare controls every
thing In reach. and especially politics.
And so when national conventions are
on the cards national committeeman are
adjured 10 keep as far away from New
York as possible. The popular idea is

Is regarded "a the pitch of politics.
Not much is said about the republican
convention. 1t Is thought that IL Mr..
Taft is to be renominated 1t will be by
reclamation, and can he accomplished
anywhere on that side the question
takes the shape OF compliment merely.
The convention will go 10 some city
where the President stands cordially ap-
proved as an official. and is popular as
a man.
But on the democratic side the case is
different. There is certain to be a warm
contest for the nomination. and especially
il the democrats carry the next House.
and choosing the convention city may
turn out a sort of preliminary test OF
strength among the candidates.
Chicago was chosen in 1896 partly be-
cause Of Mr. Cleveland's unpopularity
there. Conditions had changed radically
since 1892 when the town had favored
him Gov Altgeld and his friends had
soured on the man they had helped make
President, and the determination was to
repudate the administration outright.
In 1900 Mr.. Bryan was so easily the
master Of his party that his personal
wishes prevailed. He liked Missouri and
Missouri him, and Kansas City won the
prize. And again in zoos. AS it was APP
parent in advance that Mr.. Bryan would
be nominated. the west was compliment
ed through him in the choice of Denver.
But next time Who may say where
the convention will go9 East, west and
the middle territory will all have can
didates. and the names of the candidates
will in some way become involved in the
contest as TO where the nomination shall
be made

sion. When Congresses striking from the
railroad bill the section relating to the
national supervision of the securities of
interstate carriers, authorized the APP
pointmeut of an investigating commission,
the open and secret opponents of such su-
pervision believed that postpnnement had
throttled the project. 1t was assumed that

Yesterdays Election Returns.

Vermont has spoken and the repub-
licans of course remain in control of the
state. But the majority Is the smallest
recorded in many years Stormy weather
is blamed. but it IS admitted that much
Iistlessness prevailed Whatever the
cause. the republicans did not measure
up 10 the occasion. The party managers
knew that national attention was fixed
on the state. and that the result would
lie quoted I'm Maine for effect there. and
il is to be assumed. therefore. that they
did their best to get out the vote. They
failed.
What the effect in Maine will be Is a
matter for speculation. Six days. In
Guiding Sunday, remain oil the campaign
and every hour of the time will he

democrats upon the claim that the tide
has turned and is now with them. the
republicans with final appeals to the in

10 stand with their old friends
OF yesterdays primary contests the
most important was In Wisconsin. and
that resulted in signal triumph for Mr..
La Toilette. The senator has again
demonstrated an unusually strong hold
on his constituents, leading his opponent
by a vote of from two or three TO one.
The suggestion that the anti-La Toilette
men may seek to prevent his reelection
by supporting democratic candidates for
the legislature IS probably buncombe.
Yesterdays returns are binding upon
every republican in the state. and they
cannot he disregarded without inf1icting
greater injury on the party than on Mr..
La Toilette. His title to support is clear.
and his claim all the stronger by reason
of his promise made weeks ago. to abide
by the prirarys decision.
The defeat Of Mr.. Burrows does not
come as a surprise to the country. Re-
ports from Michigan had indicated that
the man who had served the state so
long, first in the House and then in the
Senate, was not showing his old strength
in the canvass and might fail at the
polls.
An unavailing plea in Mr.. Burrows be-
half was that he stood in line for the
Craftsmanship of the Senate finance com
mittee in succession 10 Mr.. Aldrich. who
had announced a purpose to retire from
the Senate. Next TO Mr.. Burrows stands
Mr. Penrose. and II remains to be seen
whether he will be advanced in the regu-
lar order or whether the Senate repub-
lcans in caucus will make changes In
that and other committees in consonance
with public sentiment as to senatorial
quantities.
