GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
CHICAGO.

CHICAGO. April 4.-Favorable weather

shade to 4 lower. were followed by a
moderate further setback.

weakened corn. Pit demand was only of
scattered sort Prices started 1sah to

again down grade.
Oats eased off with other grain. Busi-

to lack of support. After opening 5

From The London Chronicle.
The literary man writes a correspond
enD may very well. when he is lying on
his back, console himself with literature
But what is the scientific man, with no
particular interest in literature, to do? A
certain professor of my acquaintance
once got through month Of painful con-
valescence by the aid of another kind of
reading. He read through the scores of
his favorite composers. He had no ear
for the rhythms of literature, but fine
ear for the rhythms of music. and he as
sured me that he heard the music as he
read the scores. He said that during
that month he really came to understand
Beethoven. and that no performance Of
his work ever satisfied him afterward.

Little to Dispel Bear Sentiment.

Expectations of an early decision in
the freight rates case gave the stock
market temporary impulse upward
carly this week. Action of the inter
state commerce commission to expedite
the hearings. when coupled with the
general belief entertained in the finan-
'ial district that an advance will he
Sranted. was sufficient to cause enlarged
Speculation for the rise. The movement
vas only temporary, however. being
succeeded in the latter part of the week
" dull speculation, with a slow down
ward tendency.
Aside from brighter hopes of an early
1dvance in freight rates, there was little
IN the weeks news to dispel the bearish
sentiment of the street. February reports
Of some of the larger eastern railroads
showed exceptionally large decreases in
earnings. Steel trade reports were dis
couraging, although the copper metal
market was firner with better de-
mand.
Money was easy throughout the week,
with no signs of a furry to mark the
preparations for April l interest and
dividends payments.
New York city offered $65.OoO.O0O Of
~ per cent fifty-year bonds, taking ad-
vantage of the present ease of money
and demand for high grade investment

latter classes, too. practically all OF
the permits are free. Reservoirs for
which more than coo free permits
were issued for the occupation Of
more than 100000 acres come sixth.
The rest of the uses are not classi-
fed. though there are a large num-
Der of apiarles. camps. summer no
tells and schools. The use of the gov.
ernment's lands for schools is given
free; for hotels a charge is made.
The principle which governs the
charge Is based. according TO the
forest service, on whether or not the
use of the land is sought by the per.
nittee for commercial purpose. If
I is the intent of the user to make
money from a resource which be-
longs to the whole people, the ser
vice holds that he should give a rea-
sonable return for that use. If, on
the other hand, farmers want to use
government land for their own tele-
phone lines. irrigation works. and
schools, the government gives them
that use without cost.

OF USES
FORLANDS OF THE
FOREST SERVICE

Almost every conceivable use to
which land may be put is represent
ed in the permits reported by the
forest service for special projects on
the national forests. Some of the
uses shown range, alphabetically.
from apiary through brickyard, can
merry. cemetery. church, cranberry
marsh for ranch. marine railway,
rife range. and turpentine still, to
wharf and whaling station.
There are $1,000 permits in force
for such special uses. which are dis
tributed geographically from Alaska
to the Mexican line, and east to
Florida This figure does not include
any of the $1,000 permits in force for
grazing cattle and sheep on the for
ests; nor the 6000 transactions for
the sale of timber. and the more
than $4,000 permits issued last year
for the free use Of timber by settlers,
miners. and others in developing
their homesteads and claims: nor the
nearly 800 permits for water power
development.
California led all the national for
est states In the number of these
special use permits, followed by Ari-
iona. Colorado, Montana, and New
Mexico in the order named The
largest single class OF permits was
for special pastures. or corrals. to
be used for Landing grounds, shear
ing pens. and the like. Next came
rights of way for conduits. bitches
and fumes, practically all of these
being free. Various agricultural per
mits come third. telephone lines
fourth, with more than a thousand
permits for $500 miles of line, and
drift fences for the control of graz
ing animals. fifth In both of these
