BEANS AND OTHER TIMETABLES COME Trade in Produce Market Yesterday Was Good
 Despite the Rain

The arrival of a nice assortment of vegetables, including beans, cucumbers. radishes, turnips, etc, was a notice able feature of Morris avenue yesterday. The produce markets experienced a good business, although not as good as the dealers had anticipated, the rain having a depressing effect on business. Vege- table shipments today are likely to be much lighter than usual, the condition of the roads rendering 1t difficult for farmers to station their produce.
 Aside from vegetables several GOODS of spring chickens were to be seen, which arrived Thursday. Chickens are offered at 16 cents per pound. Fresh eggs are plentiful, selling freely at 16 and 161s cents per dozen.
 Merchants handling feedstpffs reported business fair in their line. Conditions in the feed markets have varied very lit- tie since the opening of the week, the local trade being normal throughout
 Quotations yesterday remained stations ary, the following list prevailing:

COTTON MARKET
 IS VERY NERVOUS
The Result of Realizing and Better Weather Fore
 casts in South

New York, April 27.-The cotton mar ket was very nervous and irregular during today's trading as result of heavy realizing following the bullish excitement of yesterday and official weather forecasts indicating rather bet ter weather in the south tomorrow, eX- cept for unsettled conditions and fur ther showers or rain in parts Of the eastern belt. The close was steady on near months, but easy on distant po- sitions with prices showing net loss of from 6 to 16 points.
 The market opened steady at de- cline of points to an advance of one point, near months being influenced by rather disappointing cables and small CT English spot sales, while late posi- tions reflected a wet early weather map and the entire list soon sold up on a renewal of yesterdays buying move ment which carried old crop positions up to or a couple of points over the closing figures of last night, while the Jew crop sold about to 6 points net higher and into new high ground for the movement. Realizing was exceed ingly active on this advance and fol- lowing the western belt forecast. in- dicating generally fair weather in the southwest tomorrow and suggesting that the gulf storm was working northward through the Mississippi val ley out of the belt, the market broke quite sharply. Old crop positions led this decline, selling between IS and 19 points net lower, and it looked as if some of the scattering old crop longs were transferring their interest to the new crop, which sold only about 8 calling for unsettled weather with showers or rains and private predic- tions that a low area shown in the extreme west would work down into the western belt by Saturday, caused q renewal of the buying movement dur ing the middle of the day and sent prices back to nearly the closing fig ures of last night, but In the later trad ing renewed weakness developed as 0 result of private reports of increased acreage, continued realizing and selli. ing for a turn.
 The close was at practically the low est point of the day on the new crop months, but July was relatively firm in the late session owing to prospects for bullish weekend figures, a feeling that May notices will be promptly stopped tomorrow and buying by spot people.
 Receipts today 4466 bales against 7795 last week and S104 last year. For the week 10000 against 1888 last week and 68,172 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans 630 bales against 29S8 last year.

PRICES OF WHEAT
 TREND DOWNWARD
Favoring Rains in Europe and United States Low
 CTS the Markets

Chicago, April 27.-Favcring rains in Germany, France and the Argentine as well as in the United States today, worked in the direction of lower prices for wheat. The close left the market Ac to ssc under last night. In corn there was a net decline of 1A&ssc to 5s434c and on oats a loss of lsc to A@3sc. At the final gong, hog products varied from last nights level to 171ac@2oc below.
 The wheat market finished steady but at nearly the bottom prices of the session. Most of the selling was by longs who at the outset bolstered up the May option in an effort to frighten the bears. Dis patches telling of beneficial moisture and warmth came from so many sources. however, that the maneuvers failed to eff feet. Moreover, Indiana, Ohio and the southwest were alleged to be preparing to ship wheat here for delivery on the May deal. Then, too, the cash trade was slow not only here, but in the northwest, where previously owners had found con- tinued source of encouragement. The final touch of weakness followed reports that seeding for the spring crop in that section was now far advanced and that car lot arrivals were running ahead of the corresponding time a year ago. Dur ing the day July ranged between S6s4c and S7s4c, closing 12&4sc down at S67s9 SIC.
 Increased country sales had ven more to do with overturning an advance in corn than did the action of wheat. Wet weather caused a display of decided strength for a while. Eastern call WIS poor. July fiuctuated from 52c to 52Bc, and closed weak at 52G52lsc. down ssc from last night. Cash grades were steady, No yellow finished at 51A@51Sc.
 Liberal sales by longs took the edge off the oats market. Supplies were not Forthcoming, though, until shorts had bid up the price. High and low limits for July proved to be 32c ard 311ac, with last sales. 311ac, a net decline of A@ssc.
 Provisions dragged the fact being pointed out that western packing centers have cut up 1,245000 more hogs since March 1, than was the case 12 months back The day ended with pork un- changed to 15c off, lard down 71xq10c and with decline of 5c to171s@20c.

RUSSIAN HOBO IS
 VIKING PROBLEM

Washington. April 27.-The Russian hobo is a troublesome problem in his coun- try. The Russian government, casting about for some effective means of dealing with him, has turned to the United States for advice. Prince Koudacheff in charge of the Russian embassy at this capital. has asked the state department for information bearing on the treatment of vagrants in this country. The matte, being somewhat out of the line of the state department, has been passed on by Assistant Secretary of State Huntington Wilson to the District of Columbia com- missioners.

HARTMAN REPORT SETS MARKET BACK The March Earnings of Big Railroads Show Un-
 usual Decrease

New York, April 27.-The slow advance which had been in progress In the stock market most of the week was interrupted suddenly in the midst of today's ses- sion when publication of the March earn ings of the Hartman lines gave the list a pronounced setback. Southern Pacifi1 reported decrease of $4S7, 900 in net earn ings and Union Pacific $346000. This show ing was regarded as especially unsatis- factory in view of reports which the street had heard in the last few days that these roads would make unusually good exhibits.
 The statements, however, present in many ways a favorable contrast with the reports of the previous report and especially in the case, of Union Pacific. The dec1ease in net earnings which the road reported in February of more than s5oo0o0 was cut almost in half last month by reason of a reduction in operating expenses of $357 900, the loss in gross earnings having been virtually the same in both months. Southern. Pacif1c's net earnings in February fell off $522,0O0. Trading was less active than yester- day, the market growing dull on the de- cline. There was little pressure to sell stocks on the decline, bear traders fear ing to operate boldly at this time. The mornings gains were eliminated in most cases and the close showed small losses on the day in place of the correspond ingly small advance of the previous days of the week.
 Certain isolated issues, including local traction stocks, were strong. Canadian Pacific mounted to 227A. new high price, Analgamated Copper was heavy, prob ably on account of the selling of stocks purchased earlier in the week.
 Trading in United States Steel was less active, but that stock constituted the markets barometer, in that buying and selling of these shares were almost close. ly. scrutinized by those who think the immediate future of the market is de- pendent upon conditions in the steel and iron industry.
 Trading on the bond market exceeded fin activity and strength that in stocks, and sales were much above the recent average. - go. --'

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans. April 27.-Cotton futures opened steady at decline of 2 to points. Cables were not quite up to expectations and profit-taking orders had accumulated in large volume over night. The selling was more than the market could stand and during the early trading the tendency was to sag. May and July were the weak est months the former losing IA points from yesterdays close soon after the call, and the latter losing IS points, The weather map again showed heavy rains in the cotton belt and this sustained the new crop positions. At their lowest in the first half hour of trading, they were only to points under yesterdays close. At the end of the first half hour of trad ing, prices were at the lowest levels.
 Toward the middle of the morning the old crops were IS to IS points down. but at these levels fresh buying entered the mar

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, April 27.-(Special.)- After so sharp an advance as occurred yesterday 8 reaction was due, and 1t came, when Liverpool did not follow the advance this morning. Strange enough that market was relatively bet ter on the nearby deliveries than it was on the distant ones, exactly the opposite of the Mississippi valley the map was considered to indicate clear ing weather for the next few days. This brought selling orders from the south, under which the market broke some IS points from the high point. On the decline the brokers who sold yesterday appeared as large buyers of July. taking between 30,000 and b0,00O bales. The distant deliveries were neglected and did not rally.
