WHEAT TUMBLES
A Big Increase in the European
Visible Supply.
Denial of Previous Crop DAM
age Stories Is Made.
CORN EXHIBITS WEAKNESS
Owing to Generally Better
Weather for Farm Work.
Slack Trade Gives an Easy
Tone to Provisions.

Chicago, April 23.-WHEAT-An unex-
Pected increase today in the European
visible supply tumbIed down the price of
wheat The enlargement of transatlantic
stocks amounted to 3,172 coo bushels for
the week as against decrease of 400, 600
a year ago. Besides there was a dis
position shown by many spectators to
question whether the Is cent advance here
in the last weeks had not been too rapid
and did not more than discount the losses
alleged in winter wheat. Denials were
reiterated that Kansas and Nebraska were
retrograding to any material extent. The
opening ranged from lie lower to sc ad-
vance July started at $1GS2s to s1.095s,
fell to $1.0S14 and then rallied to $1.O9
Statements that Illinois fields were
showing improvement led to fresh back
set but predictions of a rapid decrease in
the United States visible supply helped
bring about some recovery. The close
was nervous, with July at $1.O91s@D1. O914
a net loss of A@%c.
CORN-Better weather for farm work
tended to weaken corn. The break in
wheat, too, had a depressing effect. July
opened 1sc to CSC down at 76c to 7614c and
sank to 757s6I76c.
After a further decline the market took
a decided upturn as a result of reports
that southwestern supplies were exhaust
ed. The close was steady at 76z4076zsc for
July, a net advance of ssQ11zc. Cash corn

low, 79QS0c; No. 4, 7612Q77c; No. white,
77Q79c; No. 4 yellow, 761zGD7Sc.
OATS-In the oats crowd, support was
poor and selling general. Weakness of
other grain formed the chief influence.
July started 1sc off at SIC and declined to
$3.50.
PROvISIONs-Provis showed an
easy tone, mainly ON account of slack
trade. Initial sales were the same as
last night to sc below with September de-
livery S18.671z for pork, $10.6212 for lard
and $103212 for ribs.

No, sir. none"

Sunday preceding the ACCIDENT" asked
Senator Smith.
''Oh, yes, part of the time Saturday
afternoon from II to A. said Pittman.

None at all. SIR
Did you hear anything about ice Sat

Did you hear anything about wire
less message about icebergs?'
Yes, 1 did, either Saturday night OF
Sunday morning when Mr.. Boxhau put
it on the chart Pittman replied.
Did you talk with Boxhall or Muir
dock or Lowe regarding the proximity
of the Titanic to ice?"
II did not. sir"
Did you talk to the captain?"
TITS not my place to talk to the cap

Did he talk to you about it?'
Asked if he saw any ice on Sunday,
Pittman said he did not. The fact that
the temperature was lower, he said,
would not indicate the proximity OF
ice.
I'm this country and our country
the temperature changes are such that
enc wants an overcoat one day and
cool clothes the next but that is not
due to ice,' said Pittman.
Senator Smith suggested the prox-
unity of ice was indicated in several
ways such as the effect on the sky, the
change in temperature, the CLINT of
sun or moonlight upon them. The
witness said virtually the only way to
discover the proximity of icebergs was
to see them. Senator Smith sought to
make the witness admit there were
other Indications "Then you are con-
WINGED there is no other way of tell
ing?'' asked the senator.
Only Ono Way to Tell.
There is no other way. Science
may hold that there are numerous
ways but they have never been demon
strated.''
Senator Smith asked Pitman if he
knew that temperature tests of the
water were made every two hours on
the Tftanic's voyage from Southamp-
ton.
Yes, sir. it was the custom
1t was more imam a custom, was IT
not? Was it not an attempt to dis
cover the nearness of ice %
Not that 1 know of, sir"
Did you see the quartermaSter on
the Titanic test the water?"
NO, but I saw him preparing to do
it several times" replied Pftman.
You say the fourth officer reported
ice Saturday night and marked it on
the chart with a cross. Was this mark
on the chart on or near the ships
course ?''
LAS near as I recollect it was north
of our course" Pitman reiterated
the statement of others that the IT,
tanio was on her proper course.

and Colonel John Jacob Astor were

could come to no decision that ap-

In the list as it came the following
combination appeared:

ators believe, might have been intend
ed for Major Archibald Butts name.

which apparently establishes the iden-
tity. of the body as that of Mr.. Widen
er. son of P. a. 3. Widener of Phila-
delphia, one of the directors of the.
White Star line, who, together with his
son, Harry, was lost.

A number of the q names in the list
do not check up with the Titanic's pas

that a number of the bodies recovered
are members of the Titanic's crew.

New York stock Market.

Wall ST., New York, April 23-STOCKS-
Definite announcement that the railroad
engineers had agreed to accept mediation
impaired strength to the stock market.
In the second hour, Reading, which con-
unued to be the most prominent issue,
rose to 1878, thereby recovering its quar-
terly dividend III with a margin of IA &c
spare. New York Central advanced to it's
highest price since 1910 and there was a
general demand for standard stocks in
the railroad and industrial groups By
noon gains of to points were so num-
erous as to be the rule in almost every
department of the lA. Tobacco shares
alone failed to share in the rise.
Bonds were steady with international
mercantile marine AS and Wabash As
up point.
Reading was the feature of the first
hour, it's sales exceeding all others; the
list however kept pace with the general
movement, Union Pacific increasing its
gain as did New York Central while some
of the Iatter's subsidiaries developed
marked strength. Gains of a point to
over were recorded by such specialties
as Sears-RoebUck, PittsburG Coal prefer
red, Linseed preferred, Internationa Har-
vester, General Electric, Beet Sugar. The
Tobacco issues remained under pressure,
American Tobacco extending its loss to
over points. Trading fell off apprecia-
bly, before IL o'clock.
Higher prices established for some of
the Coalers, with the opinion becoming
more prevalent that an early solution OF
the labor difficulties was at hand Ie-
high Valley and Reading were both quot
ed at 1914. There was large absorption
of the Rock Island issues and a good de-
mand also existed for many of the usual
obscure specialties
The stock market opened strong today re-
fleeing a more favorable aspect in the
dispute between the railroads and the
engineers. Gains of a point or more were
recorded by Union Pacific, Canadian Pa
cific and Reading with strong fractional
advances elsewhere. The most noteworthy
declines were in teh Tobacco securities,
American Tobacco falling points and
Lggett and Meyers and Lorillard a point
each.
The market closed strong In the final
hour when the market inclined to dullness
another buying movement in Reading
which advanced to 1861 infused renewed
strength to the active list. There were
counter movements in some of the special
ties, however, Bethlehem Steel and Cen
trail Leather declining, while Sears-Roe-
