WHEAT CONTINUES ADVANCE IN PRICE The Day Is Full of Nervous
 Changes in the Pit DEMAND FOR FLOUR Farm Reserves Fall Off But the Worlds Shipments Promise to Be
 Heavier-Washington Re
 ports Conflicting
DEMAND FOR FLOUR

Chicago, March 3-Assertions that the reciprocity bill would fail and that there were serious doubts about an extra ses- sion of Congress had much to do today with an advance in the price of wheat The market closed firm with a net gain of 1sc to 1kc. Corn finished 1sc to Ac down; oats off Ac to 3sc; and provisions at a rise of 10 to 221ac.
 It was day full of nervous changes in the Wheat pit. Shorts showed un- mistakable signs of being easily fright ened, but there was tot enough new investment buying or sufficient daring 8 genuine stampede.
 Moderate advances brought forward in- variably a few large shorts willing to supply the wants of the smaller fry. Diminishing primary receipts formed an Important angle in favor of an upward turn. There was evidence, too, of an iu- creasing demand for flour as shown by diminished stocks at leading centers.
 Moreover, farmer reserves in the United States were said to have fallen 100000 bushels under last year On the other hand worlds shipments promised to be heavier and the fact was apparently made clear late in the day that Congress would be promptly reassembled if reciprocity was not acted upon by tomorrow in 8 manner entirely satisfactory to President Taft. Previous reports, however, as to the outlook at Washington had been so conflicting that a decidedly unsettled feel ing was manifest at the close. May f1uc- tuated from S9ssQs95sc to 905s@9o1sc, with last trades 11c net higher at 901s@90kc,
 Favorable weather and lack of export demand depressed corn, notwithstanding liberal purchases by wheat bulls, who simultaneously sold oats. May ranged between 47%c and 4sA94sssc, closing steady at 4sc, net loss of Ac. Cash corn was heavy. Mo- yellow finished at 461t@47c.
 Throughout the session oats displayed reluctance to rally with corn or wheat. Much sof the time there was reseling oy leading short, who covered most of his lines in the last week or two. May varied from 30Ac to 30hc and in the end was asc easier than last night 1t 30ss@301ac.
 Purchases on the part of local and for eign shorts helped provisions upward. Last sales were 10c to 22ac higher for pork, 121zc to 15c for lard and 10c to 171ac for ribs.
 Future quotations were as follows:

MAGAZINE WRITER IS
 CHARGED WITH FRAUD

E New York. March 9.-Broughton Bran denburg, the magazine writer, took the stand today in his trial on charge of forging a publishers name to a $50 check and complained bitterly to the court of the persecution to which he said he had been subjected for the last five years. He had, been arrested no less than 10 times he said since 1908, twice in connection with the alleged forgery of an article by the late Grover Cleveland.
 Once in St.. Louis on an abduction charge, once on the check forgery charge and six times in alimony proceedings by his late wife.
 He blamed the newspapers for much of the persecution. In explaining the check incident he declared he received the check through man named Max Williams, whom he had sent to the pub fishers with some stories. He denied that he knew it was forged until he was ar. rested.

NEW FOOD RESOURCE
 -,s' 'yao sr IS DEVELOPED

Washington, March 9.-A valuable food resource of the nation, which so far has not been developed, is to be found in the mussel beds, which extend on the Atlantic coast from Maine to North Car olna and on the Pacific coast from Wash ington to San Francisco. Irving A. Field of the United States fisheries laboratory at Woods Hole Mass, in bulletin entitled "The Food Value of Sea Mus sells" says the natural beds of sea mus sells are capable of supplying wholesome food to thousands of persons at the ex- pense of but little trouble in collecting them.
 Tt is possible, he claims to develop an industry in the marketing of mussels which may surpass even that of the oyster, and at the same time have lo injurious effect, upon tthe oyster trade. The success with which musses may be canned and pickled, he adds, promises a good future for a new and profitable branch of the fisheries industry.
