Violent Fluctuations in Wheat
Prices Characterize Trading.
The Transactions Run Into
Millions of Bushels.
MAY OPTION TOUCHES S1.11A
Dealers on Both Sides Are Sc
yereIy Punished.
A Spasm of Weakness SeizeS
the Corn Market.

Chicago, April 15.-WHEAT-It was a
wilder day in the wheat pit today than
even during the worst of the crop scare
last week Fluctuations were more violent
and punished both sides.
Excitement started at once and kept
at boiling point while transactions ran
Countless reports of crop damage gave
lire to spectators who believed he mar
kea was going higher despite the ten
cents advance which otner traders no
less confident, bought had fully discounted
the injury.
Difference of opinion was so wide that
the market at the outset varied from 75c
Saturday night. The sharpest price
changes were shown in the May option.
That month started at $1.10 to Sill, an up
ward jump of Ac to nc, touched $111A.
dropped back to $1.0715 and then whizzed
back to $1.101a. Meanwhile July wirled
in bewildering fashion from $1.O517 to $107
swapping from 14c below to more than a
CENT above the final figures of the prev
iouS session.
A subsequent rush swept May up to
S1.11% and July to $1.0S. The reason was
found in detailed confirmatory kilograms
concerning destruction of soft winter
wheat in territory far apart as Ne
braska and Ohio. Soon, however, the mar
ket swung back again advices from
Nebraska that the loss there was only
five to ten per cent. The close was unset
tied with May at Sill, a gain of 11zc over
Saturday night and July 11sc up at $1,000
1.061s-
corn market at the beginning but soon it
wheeled into line with the advancing ten
dency which at the moment promised to
rule in wheat. The leading bulls had
apparently given their attention at first
to the more expensive grain and had
been caught mapping, the benefit going
to commission houses that had been heavy
sellers. July opened ss@12c to 7sd1c down
at 7Sc to 781zc, declined to 777sc and then
rallied to 7S1Ac.
After further upturn country offerings
became larger and the market receded
sharply. The close was weak with July
1ss0124c net lower at TIC.
OATS-Free unloading carried oats low
er but the offerings were promptly gobbled
up and the market soon recovered. July
started 1@14c to ss@15c cheaper at 54a4c
to 55c and then turned upward to $3.50
55Ac.
OVISIONS-Activity and strength
prevailed in the provision trade. Realz-
ing of profits by longs however, checked
the rise which was due to firmness at the
yards and to dear corn. Initial sales ran
from Saturday nights level to TIC higher
with September delivery $1S.371k for pork,
$40. 621h for lard and $10.4215 for ribs.

New york STOCK Market.

Wall St, New York, April 15-STOCKS-
Before noon all adverse consideration
seemed to be forgotten and the stock mar
ket continued its forward march, with
especial strength in the Standard issues,
foremost among which was United States
Steel. NNNumerous specialties partici-
pated in today'S movements, including
Sears Roebuck, North American, Ameri-
can Iinseed common and preferred and
Sugar which rose 112 to points while
American Can extended their gains of
the first hour.
Acute weakness was shown by the stock
market at today's opening. The AZ per
cent bonds of the International Mercantile
Marine company declined two points with
a fall of four points in the preferred
stock, presumably because of the accident
to the Titanic. There were losses of 4
point or more in Hartman and Hill issues,
Lehigh Valley, United States Steel, Utah
and Anaconda Copper, American Car
and Foundry, American Locomotive, Gen
eral Electric and other Issues. The one
exception to the markets weakness was
Canadian Pacific, which rose more than
a point.
Although dealings shrank greatly the
advances were not interferred with. Prices
rose steadily s othat many important
stocks turned their early losses of point
or more into similar gains. Among these
were Union Pacific and United States
Steel. A long list of other issues were
up from 1 to 6 points. Late buying was
effective in Amalgamated Copper, Louis
Vile and Nashville, Pittsburg Coal prpe-
ferred and American Canadian.

TAFT MAY VETO PANAMA
CANAL BILL AGREED ON
RODENT BACILLUS EXAMl lNED
THERE NOT OF BUBoNIC
TE p e.

Washington, Aug. 17.wPresident
Taft has not decided whether he will
approve the Panama canal bill as it
was agreed to by the senate and
house conferees.
The president told friends today
that the free tolls provision CT the
bill might prove serious embarrass-
ment to the United States and that
he was not sure he could sign the bill
in that form.
He favors an amendment, which,
in effect, would permit other nations
to test the free tolls provision by
suits in the United States courts.
This eventually would mean 3 de-
cision by the Supreme Court Mr.
Taft was told by Senator Simmons
today that probably it was too late
to attach such an amendment to the
bill. The president expects to read
the measure carefully and decide up
On his course early next week.
He does not expect to send a spe-
cial message on the subject. The
house rules committee today made a
special rule which prohibits the rails
ing of any point of order against the
measure.
The bill will be considered and
probably passed b ythe house before
adjournment today. This drastic ac-
tion was expected because of the OPP
position last night when Representa-
tives Olmstead and Moore of Penn
sylvania, contended that the conferees
had exceeded their jurisdiction in ac-
cepting several amendments

Darien and Altamaha rivers. 1t is
said by the engineers that these
bridges will be the largest in Geor-
gia. They are now being built at
one OF the steel plant up north. The
work of cutting down Broad aud Wal
ton streets to the level of the track
Is now being pushed ahead as rap
fufy as possible, big gang of labor
ers being at work. After the streets
are properly sgraded they will again
be hardened anusput in as good con-
dition as before. Everything will be
ready for bridge and trestle work in
a very short time. The library build
ing will be moved further down the

BLACKBOARD ISLAND TO Be
LEASED BY GOVERNMENT
JWELL-KNoWN GAME AND HUNT
ING PRESERVE TO GO
FOR FIVE YEARS,

Announcement has been received
from Washington that Blackboard ISL
land, in Mcintosh county, midway
between Brunswick and Savannah, is
to be leased for period of five years,
and, as the island is one of the best
hunting and fishing spots in this sec
tion of the state, it is expected that
the bidding will be quite lively for
these privileges,
Blackboard is located at the en-
trance to Sapedo sound and is now
the property of the United States
government and is the old site OF
the South Atlantic quarantine station
At one time it was the principal quar-
antine along the South Atlantic coast
and for many years it had been main
tanned as station, but was aban-
doned last year, when the physician
in charge was removed and only a
caretaker left in charge of the ISL
and.
The government announces that the
island, together with the buildings
ETC., and all hunting and fishing privi
Ieges will be leased for a term of five
years and that the bids will be opened
In Washington on August "a.
1t is understood that H. E. Coffin
the detroit capitalist, who recently
purchased from Savannah parties all
of Sapelo island, will probably lease
Blackboard, in fact 1t is understood
that he has submitted a very hand
some BID, to the government which
no doubt will be the best received
for the use of the island for the term
designated.
Blackboard is known the south over
as the best game preserve in this Sec
tion. Deer on the island are as num-
erous as are the fish in the water
and many hunting parties have been
visiting the island yearly after receiv-
ing permission from the government.
1t is considered by far the best piece
of hunting property on the South At
lantic coast, and it is understood that
Mr.. Coffin is endeavoring to lease the
island for the use of the hunting priv
ileges only.

DOUBLE E-TRACKING or THE
SOUTHERN IS UNDER WAY
BIG IMPROVEMENT TO BE MADE
ON THE LINE BETWEEN At
LANTA AND BRUNSWICK.

Atlanta, Aug. II - The Southern
railway has begun work on the ex,
tension of the double track on it's
line to Macon, Brunswick and Flor
ida, which now ends at Roseland, to
Constitution, distance of three
miles, which will give seven miles
OF double track out of Atlanta in
this direction. The contract for the
grading has been awarded to c. W.
Lane & Co., Atlanta. The extension
of the double track to Constitution
will greatly facilitate the movement
of trains in and out of Atlanta and
is part of the general scheme for
the general improvement of this line
in accordance with which modern lap
sidings were put in last year at in
tervals of five miles between Atlanta
and Macon and a number of standard
passing tracks are now being con-
structed between Macon and Jesup.
These improvements will give prac-
tically all the advantages of double
track on this line over which moves
the very heavy traffic from Florida
to the West, including the Southern S
fast passenger trains between jack
sonville, Cincinnati, Chicago, and
Kansas City. The new second main
track between Roseland and Consti-
tuition and the passing tracks south
of Macon will be completed in time
to be in full service for the winter
season.
