Montgomery Market

Montgomery. March a--t6ecial.)-The scarcity of vegetables feat1fed the local produce market today and the small sup ply that was to be had were beyond the reach of the average housewife.
 The prevailing high prices on all vege- tables are causing some little concern to local dealers, as the demand for table supplies is greatly influenced by the cost,
 Scarcely any green goods were received in the city today, and it Is likely that the situation will not be relieved before Thursday or Friday.
 No green peppers were to be found to- day. and tomatoes and celery were scarcer than they have been in weeks.
 A little spinach was to be found, and the supply of cabbage greens and parsley was good. Carrots were also plentiful to- day slsl

SHOOTS GIRL, HER
 BROTHER AND SELF

Nashville. March FLA special dispatch from Jackson, Tenn, says that Brooks Gowan, aged 26, bookkeeper, shot Miss Ruth Robinson. his sweetheart. and Ham Robinson, her s-year-old brother, and him self yesterday at the home of the girls mother. Mrs. H. Robinson. The boy will probably die, as the bullet pierced his ab- dcmen. The girl was shot in the side and will recover.
 Gowan shot himself twice. but both wounds were flesh wounds. The tragedy is said to have been the result of jeal- Ousy.

to improve on the posting of the weather forecast which called for unsettled weather and rain over the belt. At the end of the first half hour prices were unchanged to ? points up compared with yesterdays close.
 Buying was about equally divided be- tween the two sides. The list had no re- newed vgor as the session advanced. Traders bought moderately. Speculative short selling was almost entirely absent from 10:50 o'clock this morning. It was the gossip of the ring that much of the of ferings came from spot and planting in- terests in the south, which was taken to mean that those closest to the crop were impressed more favorably by crop prep arations than traders and brokers ma neuvers around the exchanges.
 Prices gradually advanced until they were to points over yesterdays close.
 Afternoon prices were bolstered by re- ports of improvement at the mills. At 3 o'clock prices were to 10 points over yesterdays final quotations.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, March N.-(Special.) )--Sub- ject to local influences the market was repetition of that of some days past. Advces from abroad were not encourag- ing, the status of the strike remains unchanged and prices moved under pur- chases evidently made to influence them.
 Trading was light, not general, and beyond that noted, featureess. Predictions of further rains were not without eff feet, and the persistence of the market about present prices is creating a cer- tain timidity.
 The disparity between prices here and the south is noted. and the low grade of cotton in the south is causing some covering of contracts here.

ADVANCE CHECKED
 IN WHEAT MARKET
Notwithstanding Market Closed Firm-COrn Fin
 ished With Gain

Chicago. March 27-News of the first seeding of spring wheat served today to check an advance due to depletion of stocks on both sides of the Atlantic The close, nevertheless. was firm at hs414c above last night. Corn finished with a gain of lsdsse to Nse oats up lsai4e to lsassc, and provisions dearer by 5Qfl9e to 22lse,
 South Dakota was the place furnishing tidings welcome to bears that work had begun which promised an earlier start for the new spring crop or wheat than had been generally expected. Advices came also that Minnesota seeding would not be later than the average.
 Bull wheat specuators found their chief support in the fact that Minneapolis stocks had decreased 2l5.oo0 bushels m four days as compared with 9o.oo0 bushels increase during the corresponding time year ago. In addition there were Euro pean buying orders in the pit here. a cir cumstanee attributed to continued falling off in the store of wheat on hand at Liverpool. The buges that resulted from these conditions, however, were not main tained owing in part to mild weather in the winter crop belt and to cash wheat being offered here with greater freedom from Indiana, Illinois and Michigan.
 May wheat ranged from sl. .osss to s1.ofd $1 o4is with the close sl.os&@1 .o37s, just i4e over 24 hours before.
 Corn sold at new high levels for the season and closed within shade of the day's top figures. The market was well supported by large operators. Much rain and snow appeared on the map, there were predictions of additional unsettled weather and Mexico had suspended her import duty. Country sales were lighter, May 1uctuated from 72es@72sac to 7Slsc, closing strong Sc up at 73ssa7s1sc Casn grades were firm No. yellow was quoted at 721ka73c for car lots.
 Oats, like corn, ended the day at vir- tually the best prices reached during the session. despite liberal profit taking by longs. The reason was new demand as well as shorts scurrylng to cover. Outside limits touched for May were 535sc and 5414c, with last sales 1s@Ac net higher at 541sa544e.
 Active buying of small lots by outsiders put provisions up to record prices for thus far in 1912. Packers, too, were buyers. Values gave way materially under realiz- ing sales, but at the last gong pork was ED 15c to 22Ike, and other hog products had increased in cost 5GI7lac to 15d171bc.
