WHEAT PRICES
 GO STILL LOWER
May Wheat Breaks the Low Record the Second Time
 in Twenty-fOur Hours

Chicago, March 2S.-Through slow but sure widening of the discount on May wheat that option today for the second price record Closing prices were easy with a 1zc to Adssc under last nights prices. Corn finished 1sc up to a shade down; oats at an advance of 1-16c to 1sad4c and hog products 71k@27lac decline.
 It was largely scalping market for short interests being somewhat extended and most speculators inclined to favor a moderate rally. Besides there was an ad- vance at Liverpool and further reports of unfavorable conditions for the growth of the crop in southwestern Kansas.
 Another source oftemporary strength arose from a substantial decrease in the worlds available supply. Cash demand here, however, proved listless and the buying power for options soon became ex- hausted, principally in the case of the May delivery. In view of the weakness thus made evident, many traders who had bought during the first part of the ses- SlOn turned to the SelllnS Slde so that final transactions were within shade of the lowest point reached. May ranged from S79sc to SSssasS1ac and in the end was HQssc off at S75s@87s4c.
 Announcement if export sales of corn strengthened that cereal but a reaction set in when the fact developed that the foreign purchasing had been done while the market here was at a comparatively low level. May fluctuated between 47NGD 4Sc and 4ss4c, closing steady at 4Slsc just the same as 24 hours before. Cash corn was firm; No. yellow closed at 47@ 4Sc.
 Oats advanced on account of buying done for longs and neighboring pits. Tho market dropped back later with other grain. High and low points touched by May were 3O14@302sc and SGAc with the close shade up at SossdSO1sc.
 Provisions gave way under heavy sales on the part of packers and commission firms. The outcome was slump all around-porl< 271kG30c to soc; lard 71hc to 1041215c; ribs 71ac to 15@171ac.

STOCKS MAKE A
 BRISK ADVANCE
English Market Reported Buying - Canadian Pa
 cific Going Higher

New York, March 2S.-Tn response to a movement of broader scope than had been attempted for some time the stock market today shook off its lethargy and advanced briskly. In the first hour about as much business was done as in the entire session of yesterday, the rise soon reaching point in some of the important issues. Trading did not pro- ceed long at high pitch however, and although gains were gradually held the afternoon session was quiet.
 The English market was reported to havo bought extensively of Union Pacific and United States Steel, and while some of this business may have originated in New York manipulation, arbitrage houses here said that the movement reflected in part at least the effect of hedging on ac- count of options soon falling due abroad.
 Canadian Pacific still forged ahead to another high record, rising 22s to 224. It was learned today that the company had purchased a large tract of land to add to its holdings, and the probability of still higher dividends from land opera tions as a result of this transaction sent up the stock briskly. Union Pacific, Le- high Valley, Reading and Norfolk and Western, all of which gained from 1 to 2 points, were among the strongest stocks. American Woolen common and preferred broke sharply, evidently in response to disagreement of various elements in the company as to the purchases by the man aGement of part of the common stock of the corporation. International bankers received advices from Paris indicating that negotiations for the listing of Atchison on the bourse are well toward , the point of .consummation It is un- oerstood that a foreign syndicate, chiefly of French composition, has taken large block of Atchison convertible bonds. Apropos of this it is noteworthy that sev- eral issues of convertible bonds, name ily American Telephone, Norfolk and Western and Union Pacific, were feat tres Of today's trading in the bond di- vision, the last two in particular keep ing pace with the activity in the shares of those companies. Some of the largest railroads presented their February re- ports today, and the showing made was remarkable, chiefly for the striking evil dence it contains of the efforts which are being made toward economy. Union Pa cific reported the heaviest-about $700, coo . in gross earnings. Northern Pacific and Southern Pacific each report ed a shrinkage of about $500,oQo in gross Northern Pacific kept down operating ex- penses most effectively to meet the sit uation, reducing this item by s476,O0O
 Southern Pacific's cut was comparative ly small, and there was almost no change in the expenses of the Union Pa cif1c.
 Bonds were firm Total sales, par value, $2, ,SS5, ,000.
 United States bonds unchanged on call.

ISLANDER SUIT LOST
 BY BARON DE FOREST

London. March 2S.-The islander suit of Baron Arnold DeForest against his brother -in-law, Henry Milner, and his rlother-in law, Mary, Lady Gerard, opened today but soon collapsed ow- ing to lack of evidence. Judgment for the defendants was returned.
 The suit collapsed suddenly when Lord Derby, to whom the islanders were alleged to have been confided, took the stand and swore that he had no recollection of them. Sir Edward Clarke, counsel for the plaintiff, there fore announced that he was unable to proceed in view of the lack of evil dence and judgment for the defense was returned.
 Baron DeForest, whoseS marriage to the widow of Menier. the chocolate manufacturer of France, was annulled, subsequently entered English society and married Mrs. Gerard. who is very wealthy, having inherited most of the fortune of the late Baron Hirsch. The wife, who Is described as beautiful and accomplished later vanished from her home, and according to the plaintiff in the company of Lieut.. M. c. S. Ash . ton of the Second Life Guards, and a friend of the family.
 The plaintiff alleged that the con- duct of his wife was approved by Lady Gerard and Milner in utterances reflect ing upon him. He charged that they had accused him of having beaten his wife, kicked her down stairs and gen erally behaved with such outrageous brutality as made it impossible fer her to live longer with him.
 Miner who married the Duchess ot Montrose, denies having uttered the al- legged islanders.
 Last year DeForest sought election to parliament. He is liberal and his wife's relatives are tories. His speeches in the campaign incensed his wife's relatives and the alleged islanders were said to have followed.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, March .-(Special.) )-Fur- ther offerings of the same character as yesterday increased by the reports of a cut in the prices of cotton goods by a prominent Chicago firm. carried the mar ket at one time some 10 points lower than the closing quotations. In the last hour the decline was recovered by an inquiry for the better grades of cotton in our stock, which brought about a, de- mana from spot houses. Ne look for a better market for the remainder of the week, as the insight movement promises to show a comparatively small movement as compared with last year. We judge that the decline has increased the short interest, which is liable to become un- easy at any moment.

COTTON NERVOUS
 AND UNSETTLED Prices Rule Lower Under Liquidation and Bear
 Pressure

New York, March 2S-The cotton mar ket was nervous and unsettled today and prices ruled lower during most of the session under liquidation and bear pres sure. There was quite a sharp rally to- ward the close, however, and the flnai tone was very steady net one point low CT to two points higher.
 The. opening was steady at an advance of one to six points in sympathy with better cables than expected, but prices soon weakened under renewal of yes terdays late selling movement Which was encouraged by confirmation of yes- terday's reports of further suts in the price of leading cotton goods. continued good weather in the south and appre- 'hensions of still more drastic curtailment In the operation of domestic mills.
 Wall street bears were aggressive sell CTS on the decline which caught stop loss orders and at times during the morning the market was active with all indications pointing to considerable liquidation by trailing longs in the old crop months At the low point reached shortly after midday May contracts sold dC 14.ZU and July dI HUI, UT dDOul U points under the closing figures of last night and from 49 to 45 points under the high prices reached on March 1T.
 The new crop was relatively steady in spite of the favorable view of the weather conditions and near positions found considerable support some eight or nine points below the closing figures of yesterday. This came partly from cov- ering of shorts but also reflected an ln- creased demand from some of the lead- Ing spot interests and the old crop ral- lied some eight points from the lowest in the late trading.
 May made it's premium over July in spite of the heavy liquidation, suggesting the continued presence of concentrat- ed interest in contracts for that delivery and the relative steadiness of the new crop was partly attributed to the buying of October by leading spot interests and also to purchases of October and De- cember by. brokers who appeared to be llquidating the old crop and who may have been undoing straddles.
 Receipts at the ports today 967S bales against 9997 last week and 1S,775 last year Today's receipts at New Orleans 3O59 bales against 9197 last year and at Hous- ton 291i bales against 2S7s last year.

cial reports of frost at Shreveport, where young cotton is already up, and killing frost at Jackson, where germnation has already started. On the rise longs in the old crop months let go freely and caused a sag of points. The new crops were well maintained. At the end of the first half hour of business the old crops were 4 to points under yesterdays close, while the new crops were to points over.
 More or less selling pressure on the old crop deliveries was in evidence all the morning and it held the market down in the face of reports of damage by frosts in the interior. Trading was main- ly for professional account, outsiders ap- parently being unable to get a settled opinion of the situation. Rumors of the formation of new bear pool. based on the good outlook for the new crop, lessened bullish sentiment Ring scalp CTS were good sellers and seemed to pre- fer to operate in July more than any other month. At noon the old crops were to points under yesterdays close, while the new were ? points over.
 In the afternoon session the old crop months weakened under heavy selling and in the trading up to o'clock were put to 10 points under yesterdays close The new crops held steady and October at the lowest did not go below yester- days last quotation.
 The market closed very steady, l point down to 1 point up, compared with yes terdays close on old crops, and to ' points up on the new.
