against persons who had not been en-
gagged in the business for two years,
and stuck to it in spite of the outraged
dignity of Mr.. Trickett.

FINE WEATHER IN WHEAT REGIONS

WASHINGTON. April 25.-In the
States of the spring wheat region the
weather was generally favorable. The
sunshine was ample, practically no
rain occurred, and temperatures were
moderate. over the Atlantic coast dis
tricts from Virginia northward the
weather continued cold and unfavora-
BILE. Frosts occurred, but on account
of the generally backward condition OF
vegetation but little damage resulted.
In the cotton belt the weather con-
tinued warm and conditions We're, as 9
rule, favorable. Some damage from
flooding and washing occurred in the
northern sections of Mississippi and
Alabama, and more sunshine and drier
weather are needed in eastern Texas.
Over the western portion of the corn
growing States there was sunshine, arG
the days were mostly warm but COO at
night. especially near the end of the
week, which, with a general absence of
rainfall. prevented any rapid develop
ment of vegetation. Over the eastern
portion of the corr belt the Weather
was cloudy, cold and wet. Frosts &C.
CURED on several days. Vegetation
continued backward. and the usual
farm work was much delayed. But lit
tie rain occurred in Florida, and droutll
continues over much of the State. In
the fruit growing districts of the West

THE T T MARKET.

NEW YORK, April 25.-The cotton
market opened steady at a decline of
soil points on Old and of SOS points
on new crop months, in sympathy with
lower Liverpool cables, while reaction
airy sentiment was also encouraged by
favorable weather in the South. Offer
ings were active and general, with re-
cent buyers llquidating or realizing,
while local operators were selling for
a turn, but there was a good demand
around the initial figures. with spot in
terests large buyers and fluctuations
during the early trading were nervous
and irregular.
Trading became less active late in
the forenoon, and the market at mid
day was steady. with prices only four
points under the closing figures of last
night. Bullish Southern spot advices.
buying by spot interests and one of the
old bull leaders, and the Western belt
forecast for unsettled or showery
weather, seemed responsible for the
rally from the early low point.

IRREGULARITIES
FOLLOW BRISK
OPENING RALLY
New Selling Orders Uncovered
and Market Recedes to
Low Level.

NEW YORK. April 25.-The decision
against the Southern Pacific railroad
in the Oregon land case caused some
heaviness of the Hartman stocks at
the opening of the market here today.
Southern Pacific lost a point and Union
Pacific Ia. Most of the other active
stocks declined nationally.
II a. m.-There was little feature to
the early dealings. Prices moved In an
irregular fashion. mostly within a
slight fractional range A brisk rally
followed the opening hesitation, but
the higher prices uncovered new sell
ing orders and the market receded
again to it's low level. Bethlehem Steel
gained l. /.
Stocks manifested a sagging te adency
in the second hour, again under the
leadership of U. s. Steel, which touched
70 on moderately large Offering.
Runors of internal troubles and i'm
portant designations from the corpora
ton were officially denied and were
without effect upon the list. which was
dull and heavier throughout. There
was some selling of the Hartman is
sues as a result of the decision against
Southern Pacific in connection with its
large land holdings, and trading as a
whole was ~perfunctory and more re-
stricted than for some days past.
Mackay companies and Texas company
declined 3 points. Bonds were steady.
l p. m.-Prices took a brisk turn up
wards after IL o'clock, and the list ad-
vanced to about yesterdays close OF
above. United States Steel rallied from
70 to 70, and there was a similar move
ment in Union Pacific. Reading and
Amalgamated Copper. The last-named
has become a speculative favorite again
owing t. the recent improvement in
trade conditions.
