New york stoc.s Market.

Wall St, New York, April 26.-STOCKS
United States Steel was sold heavily at
the opening of the market today. On the
first sales of 1000 shares it declined II.
Within few minutes, however, it re
covered most Of its loss. The majority
of the market leaders declined fraction
ally. Copper, Lehigh Valley, American
Smelling and Chesapeake and Ohio lost Y.
Initial prices were about the lowest re-
corded during the first hour, the market
thereafter rising steadily with Union Pa
cific, Reading, United States Steel and
other favorite stocks selling fracttonally
above yesterdays closing. The fertilizer
stocks showed considerable strength and
the whole market acted in a manner that
seemed to indicate there was a good
foundation of buying orders all re-
ceSSionS. Great Northern preferred and
American Cotton Oil gained 1; American
Agricultural Chemical IA Wisconsin Cen
trail ia and Brooklyn Union Gas 2.
Interest again centered largely in Unit
ed States Steel. Trading in the shares
was very large and attempts to depress
them on account of Unexpectedly dis
closed in the report issued yesterday were
at first successful. The interest in earn
ing reported for each successive months
of the quarter bringing up March earn
ings to a figure almost twice that of
January was regarded by many traders
as indicat ting a better state of affairs than
was assumed at first and the stock OBJ
tanned good support, rallying quickly.
Reading and Union Pacific were especial
ly strong, the latter on intimation of eX-
celIent March earning, the market showed
breadth a number of SpecialtieS making
notable gains, particularly the gas, cleo
tric and telegraph stocks.
Bonds were firm with a heavy demand
for Lake Shore As of 1881 which were up
a point.

PRIEST ATTACKS SCHOOLS.
Now Father Carroll Will Pay $4,000
for SIander.

New Haven, Conn.,, April 26.-Father
Carroll, rector of the Wallingford Cath
olic church, must pay damages of $4,000
to William Hassett, a member of the
Wallingford school committee as re-
suit of suit for slaHder brought by
the latter.
The action was the outgrowth of a
sermon preached by Father Carroll in
which he said the public school house
was so unsanitary that any self-re-
specting American pig would commit
suicide before spending an hour in that
sty.'' Father Carroll admitted preach
ing such a sermon, saying he believed
the allegations to be true.

COburn Places State Average at
Nearly so Per Cent.
Over Five Million Acres Grow
ing in Kansas.
SHOWS AN INCREASE
Both in Amount SOWn and the
Condition.
Eastern Section Reports Most
Promising Prospects.

The condition of wheat in Kansas is
| 21a per cent better than it was a year
ago at this time, according to the reg
ular crop report issued by Secretary +.
d. Coburn of the state board of agri-
culture.
| The present condition of wheat Is
rs. "a per cent, 100 per cent being perfect.
A year ago it was rs per cent.
The total acreage of wheat that viii
be allowed to stand is $3.50, 900. Twen-
| ty-three per cent of the wheat sown
last fall has been or will be ploWed up,
because of damage done from lack or
moisture last fall and winter.
Barton county has the greatest acre
age this year with 266, 706 acres. Eighty
six per cent of the wheat sown in Bar
Der county is looked upon as a failure
and the condition of the remainder is
rated at only AZ per cent. The percent
age in Woodson county is 100 per cent
but Woodson is not in the wheat belt
and has a wheat acreage of only 3,O71.
The Coburn report is based upon con-
ditions as they We're April 81. 1t is the
result of a comprehensive and search
ing inquiry among the growers eSpe-
cially, in every neighborhood, particular
attention having been given to the
counties with the larger wheat acre
ages.
MOEo "HCdO
The report, in detail, says:
Correspondents indicate that the area
sown in the fall of 1910 approximated
| s. 950. 900 acres, or more by about 265,OOO
acres than in the year preceding. While
the acreage figures are of course sub
ject to revision by assessors returns,
which will come later, the present can
vass suggests that last falls sowing
was the most extensive in the history
of the state, excepting in 1906, and pos
sibly, too, the sowing of year later, in
1907.
OF the total area sown it appears
from the reports that a fraction more
than % per cent is such that the ground
will be devoted to other crops, princi-
pally oats and corn. Deducting this %
per cent, which is principally in the
south central and western counties,
leaves, in round numbers, 5,330,000 acres
that will be allowed to stand, on which
the condition averages 1884 per cent, as
compared with the customary 100 taken
to represent a good average stand and
satisfactory condition. The April con-
dition year ago was IS.
Outside of three or four of the 81
counties lying east of the 9Sth meridian
practically all the wheat Sown IS
flourishing, the best conditions of the
plant and soil being reported from that
region. Woodson county returns the
highest condition, 100, and, excepting
Chautauqua, no county in the eastern
four tiers reports a lower average than
80.
Failure of the % per cent of the acre
age is ascribed almost wholly to lack of
moisture in the fall and winter. Con-
siderable in some portions of the more

HENDERSON TALKS
LIKE A BRAGGARI

Cecil Henderson. the Hebron runner.
was a caller at this Office this after
non. Henderson says that II he ever
gets a crack at Gsvit the Hammond lad
will not be in the running says the
Valparaiso Messenger.
Henderson is an amateur. He is a
member of the Central Y. NJ c. A., in
Chicago, and of course his past record
was searched thoroughly before he was
admitted to that body. as 1t consists
solely of amateurs.
Furthermore, it is not necessary for
Henderson to prove that he is an
amateur. but in order to bar him from
amateur competition, 1T must be shown
that he is a professional.
The Hebron lad can show a clean rec
ord, however, so it is now probable that
the two rivals will meet in the near
future.

TEN SALOONS QUIT
SINCE PROCTOR LAW

1t is estimated that about ten saloons
have gone out of business in Hammond
since the Proctor liquor law went into
effect. Under the Proctor law no new
licenses can be issued while the num-
Der of saloons in the city is more II. an
one saloon to each 1--WE hundred popula-
tion, or If the city sa fit one saloon
to every thousand Inhabitants.
Tho number of saloons in Hammond
al the present time numbers one hum
bred and sixty five, those who went out
of business having done so because of
lack of trade.
A representative saloonkeeper speak
ing of tho saloons closing up said that
il the Proctor liquor law with the ex-
ception of the sunday closing feature
were rigidly enforced, many another
saloonkeeper would have failed to pro-
cure license. and that the elimination
of the undesirable element would be
greatly appreciated by any saloon
keeper who conducts respectable place.
