In 1896, when, under the last demo
cratic administration, the country was
suffering from industrial paralysis, ten
bushels of corn would buy 131 pounds
of barb wire. Now a like amount Of
corn will buy 27o pounds of bari
wire. Are the farmers of Iowa ready
to vote for "a change back to the
1896 basis? We hardly think So

DEPRESSION IN
 WHEAT MARKET Rumored Bull Leader, Own CT of May Option, Had
 UnlOaded Holdings

Chicago, March 12-Rumors that bull leader who was supposed to be the largest owner of May option had unloaded his holding formed a source of depression to- day in wheat. Closing prices were Aassc to 1sQssc under last night. Corn finished Is@ssc down. oats off lsc to 9sQ&e, and hog products varying from last nights level to an advance of 712c.
 Wheat traders could not shake off a be- lief that heavy selling which was in evl- donce represented at least in part big ac- cummulation of property kept in the hands of a powerful operator here for nearly a year. Moreover. the cables were bearish in tone after having been bullish for several days. Foreign crop conditions were generally favorable, and there was prospect of increasing shipments from Ar gentina. In addition the worlds avail able supply total showed a huge gain for the week as against falling off during the corresponding time a year ago. There were some complaints here from London and Ohio as to considerable losses by winter killing in late sown wheat, but the help to the bulls was short lived, the market closing at almost the bottom point of the day. Between the opening and the last sale May fuctuated from s1 .0Ss4 to sl.O4l2, and in the end was iadssc net lower. but firm at s1 .O4 even.
 Corn followed wheat down grade. Real izing by longs appeared to be the rule. Speculators who had previously taken profits at higher figures seemed slow about replacing holdings. The change in senti- ment was explained as being based on the poorness of demand for cash grades and on the freedom with which the interior made offerings. May ranged from 715s0 71s4c to 721ac, closing firm at 1Bc, A de- cline of s4e net. No. ? yellow was not quoted
 Revised judgment as to late seeding weakened oats. 1t was found that farm CTS in general expressed no anxiety. Out side limits touched for May proved to be 54izc and 53i9e, with the close 1se net lower at 5Sssc. That month was relatively firm owing to talk of small receipts and delayed deliveries.
 Advances at the yards on account of fewer arrivals than expected stiffened the market for hog products. Liberal sales by a packing concern checked a greater rise. Pork gained from shade to 71kc, but the rest of the list not over 2he.

NET RESULTS WERE

Session in Stocks Yesterday Similar to First Two
 Months

NfweYork, March 12.-The session on the stock exehange today was in many ways similar to the torpid markets of the first two months of the year. Trading again fell to the point where it ceased to pos sess the slightest significance or purpose. The professional element apparently was indisposed to follow last weeks rise, and the bear party was more than ordinarily quiescent, occasionally feeling the list of weak shots but dislodging few stocks. Later prices hardened under the influence of the standard railway shares and cop pers, but net results except tn some or the specialties were almost negligible. Wall street manifested only languid in- |tfrest in the English coal strike con |cerning which the one development or im- |portance was the acceptance of mine own CTS of the governments plan for another conference.
