THE CHICAGO MARKET.

CHICAGO, March 25.-With dry
weather. prevailing in both the spring
wheat section and in the winter crop
territory as we'll prices for the cereal
today swung to the bull side of the
market. An increase of cash business
tended likewise to create a feeling of
strength. Notice was also taken of
dispatches telling of freezing tempera-
lures in Russia, causing fear of dam
age. The opening here was Is higher
to u off. May started at Ss1a to 8S%,
showing the same change from last
night as the option list taken
altogether. A rise to SS%@B followed
Local selling eased corn. May opened
a shade to u down at 47%@A to AK,
rallied to ATS. and then fell to 47h
In oats the chief feature was the ac-
ton of a leading warehouse concern
letting go of May and buying July. The
first named month started a sixteenth
lower, at 30as, touched 30%@k, and de-
clined to 30A.
Packers took a hand in purchasing

DO NOT GUARANTEE
PROFIT TO INVESTOR.
Utilities Commission COrrects
Statement of PhiIa. Concern.

TRENTON, March 25.-Stating that
its attention has been directed to an
advertisement in a Wildwood paper.
the Board of Public Utility Commits
sioners has written d letter to the
Quaker City Securities Company, Phil
adelphia, calling the company's atten-
ton to the fact that 1t makes improper
and misleading statements to the in
vesting public.
The newspaper advertisement offers
for sale $500, 900 worth of first mortgage
8 per cent. bonds of the Wildwood
and Delaware Bay Short Line Railroad
Company. In giving reasons why these
bonds make desirable investments this
assertion is made: THE interests OF
investors are ~safeguarded by the re-
strictions Of the Public Utility Com
mission"
The board calls attention to the fact
that the provisions OF the law relating
to the issuance, sale and delivery or
stocks and bonds of public utilities do
not guarantee to the investor that the
purchase of such stocks or securities
will be profitable. and the approval by
the Public Utility Commission of an
maze IN d~ccoiudnSe VIII
law cannot carry with it restrictions
safeguarding the interests of the in
vestors to any greater extent than
such interests are ~safeguarded by the
provisions Of legislative enactments ap-
plying to all issues of stocks and ond
by public utilities and with which
enactments the board has nothing TO
do.
The letter calls the attention of the
securities company to the fact that the
law requires the board to approve the
stock issue upon being satisfied that
II was to be made in accordance with
the law. Investors are warned. how
ever, hat this approval of a stock
issue does not in any way guarantee
Investments.

THE T MARKET.

NEW YORK, March 25.-The cotton
market opened steady at unchanged
prices to a decline of 4 points under
scattering liquidation and local selling.
which was inspired by unfavorable do
nestle trade accounts and good weather
in the South. Old crop positions soon
sold off to- a net loss of 5@7 points, but
found some support below 14.50 for
May, while the new crop, in spite of
further rains in Texas, held within 2 or
8 points of last night'A figures and
ruled relatively quiet. Gables were a
shade better than due if anything, but
were offset by the unfavorable view of
domestic trade and rumors that one of
the large Massachusetts mills will close
down next week, throwing over 5000
hands out of employment.
The market closed steady, with prices
net 6@10 points lower.

DULL WITH ONLY
SLIGHT ACTIVITY
--~------
Trading Falls to Absolutely In
significant Proportions
Late in the Day.

NEW YORK, March 25.-The stock
market was again extremely dull today,
with barely enough orders at the open
ing to keep UP an appearance of bust
ness for a few minutes. Most of the
standard stocks were either unchanged
from last night or showed only slight
fluctuations. General Electric declined
only a point.
IL a. m.-Small progress was made
downward, but the recessions were
trivial, aside from Missouri Pacific,
which declined from 52A to 51M.
Noon-The market closed dull, with a
lumber of nominal declines. Trading
fell to absolutely insignificant proper
lions in the latter part of the session,
and the market was almost featureless,
except for some slight activity in Mis-
souri, Pacific and Western Union, the
latter showing a degree of strength.
