.HESS|AN FLY Is
 CAUSE OF FURRY RumOrs Follow Report of { Infection PRICES TURN UPWARD Market Had Been Weak on Account of the Expected Large Worlds

PRICES TURN UPWARD

Chicago, March 11.-Nervousness regard ing possible alarming discoveries by crop experts who had been hurried out from here to investigate rumors of Hessian fly Infection in Illinois and Indiana wheat fields turned prices suddenly upward to- day. Closing figures were firm at a net advance of sc to 1sc Corn finished 1sc to M07azc higher than last night, oats un- changed to lsc off and provisions down 2.Ad6c to 2oa22hc.
 Although Hessian fly developments were no worse than the day previous and there was general disposition to believe damage tales were so early in the season as to be unreliable, shorts were uneasy and finally ran to cover rather than stand out over Sunday. Definite statements from the Chicago crop experts were ex- pected to have considerable effect in the trading Monday morning. Before fright as to contingencies took hold in earnest Eected large worlds shipments. especially on account of the heavy forwardings from Russia. In addition, rain throughout southern Minnesota and more predicted tonight for the upper Mississippi valley did away with ideas that the seed bed for spring wheat would be dry and un- propitious. There was free realizing in advance after shorts began covering. but the backset that followed was brief. the market rising sharply, assisted by talk, A decrease in the visible supply, the be- ginning of next week. The close was all most at the top point of the session. May ranged from s03sc to sihQAc with last sales ssc up at s1bc.
 Local bull houses bought with consider able vigor in the corn pit. The result was to strengthen the market, particular ly as country sales were only fair. May luctuated between 49ssc and 50lsc, closing firm at 5od501bc, a net gain of 1s@Nc. Cash corn was steady. No. 2 yellow fin ished at 471tG4TAc.
 Commission houses were good sellers of small lots of oats. The process came into notice most prominently on rallies and caused a tendency to stag. May touched as high and low as 31ssc and s0Hd31c. with the close lsc off at Sl!sc.
 There was no special demand from any source for hog products. Accordingly the market dragged lower and in the end was 15c to 206221ac under last night for pork, 21h076c to Dc down for lard and 5c to 5d7hc for ribs.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, March 1L-Cotton fu- lures opened steady, point down to ? points up, compared with yesterdays close Cables were about due and stimulated neither buying nor selling. Longs were rather inclined to take profits over the weekend but the effect of sell ing from this direction was more than offset by the weather map, which indi- cated continued dry weather everywhere in the cotton country. Several counties in Texas sent in complaints that they were unable to continue planting owing to the extreme dryness of the soil. Shorts covered on this and, absorbed offerings from realizing longs. At the end of the first half hour of business the list was point over yesterdays close.
 Prominent bull operators were good buy CTS toward the middle of the morning and this induced fresh outside trading for a rise. The market was steady and at no time did any great volume of busi- ness come in but prices rose slowly until they made new high levels for the week. The fact that the stock of cotton in thia port, exclusive of that on ship board awaiting clearance, is under 100000 bales attracted much attention and advertised the strength of the statistical position. At the highest of the morning the trad ing months were to Il points over yes' terday's final prices. The close was bare- ly steady 1 point down to points up. compared with yesterdays close.

MACHINES TAKE
 SUDDEN MOTION Securities Seldom Heard of
 Become Active MANY EMPTY CARS
Growing Number of Unused Cars Alt tributed to Open Winter and the Small Demand for
 Coal Cars

New York, March Achievements Of a number of securities, which are ordnar- ~ inactive were the chief characteristics of today's stock market Wabash As and Wabash Pittsburg Terminal certificates were dealt in to an unusually large ex- tent, and at one time the Terminal is- sues sold at an advance of points.
 GThe inquiry was so active as to give rise to some speculation as to its purport, especially in view of the interest aroused of late by movements in any of the so- called Gould properties, but no satisfac- tory explanation was made of the sudden strength of these securities. Minneapolis, St. Paul, Sault Ste Marie and Central Leather lost more than g. point, and 4ed- eral Sugar points. Canadian Pacific made another high record. Price changes of the standard stocks as a whole were without significance. and business, as in the last few days. was light. almost to the verge O. stagnation.
 Official figures of February exports showed a striking increase from the cor responding month last year. While the greater part of the gain in values of ex- pOftS, rom $4J,0qo,VU III lSlU to $oi'o5o'VvV this year, was due to heavier shipments of cotton, increases were reported in all most all of the other items. The total for eight months ending with February is $71S, ,142,000, contrasted with S594, ,421 GOO In the preceding period. The report as a whole seemed to indicate that the export trade was making even better progress than had been expected. Wall street s present conservative attitude received fur thor encouragement today. The report of tho American Railway association on idle cars showed that on March the surplus age has been increased largely. The grow ing number of unused cars is attributed chiefly tc, the open winter, which has les- sened the demand for coal cars
 The weekly bank statement revealed the expected cash loss of about s4 COG, ,O00 the first shrinkage reported in several months, and slight shrnkage in the percentage of cash reserve.
 The bond market was steady. Total sales, par value, s2.256,ooo. United States 2s advanced 4 and the 3s and As lost A on call on the week.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, March u.-(Special)-Cont nenetal buyers were again in evidence today, giving tone to prices from the opening and absorbing the profit-taking brought about by the unfavorable Liver pool advices. That market was adverse ly affected by the large stock held by spinners, as given by Ellison, who esti- mates these stocks. on March 1 as 2,120,0O0, against 1,7490Oo last season. It is thought that the movement for the next three weeks will be lighter, as compared with last season. This idea, together with the fear among cotton houses on the continent of a possible squeeze in the American markets, gives tone to prices Liverpool should advance to points on Monday.

An Inducement

From the National Monthly.
 - A church house, in certain rural dis- trict was sadly in need of repairs. The official board had called meeting of the Lparishioners to see what could be done toward raising tho necessary funds. A middle aged man. known to be one of the wealthiest and at the same time one of the stingiest of tho adherents of that church, arose and said that he would give s, and sat down.
 Just then bit of plasterins fell from the ceiling and hit him squarely upon the head. Whereupon he jumped up, looked confused and said: 'T-er--I meant I'll give s5o!" then again resumed his seat
 After a brief silence voice in the back of the room was heard to say: "a Lord hit i'm again."

Gulls as Weather Prophets
le Milwaukee Sentinel.

From the MlWaukee Sentinek
 Another storm is coming. predict the seagulls. Hundreds of these birds have been coming inland and lowered over the Milwaukee river in the heart of the city. Most of the time they flew high, but oc- casionally swooped down and splashel the icy waters with their wings.
 Ol0 residents who have noted the flight tf the gulls for many years declare that when they come Inland from their labo- iaunts 1t invariably indicates an ap- preaching storm. Their, presence over the river was noticed by many persons q few days ago and may have betokensd the storm that arrived on Sunday.

the purging of Baltimore could be ac-
cOmplished without injury to the coun-
ties it would be a good thing. But the
counties are made to suffer for the
wrongdoing of the city. 1t is an out
rage and shame that men can become
so low as to think that cheating and
lying in politics is all right and men
of high standing in business circles
connive or wink at same, and profit by
it. The exposure in Baltimore will
be blessing to both parties if they
will profit by it and recognize there
is such a thing as honesty and fair
dealing in politics. We are ashamed
of these men who call themselves
Democrats and feel that they have TO
some extent besmirched every~ mem
Der of the party. And so the decent
white Republicans must feel. Kent
