VALUE OF CORN
 PUSHED LOWER
Wheat Also Shows Downward Tendency In Days Trading
 In Wheat Pit

CHICAGO, Feb. 2s.-Reports that three big corn shipping states, Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska, have 40.o0o,oO0 bushels more corn than was the case a year ago did good deal to depress values today. Corn closed weak, kc to %@1c net lower; May, s0M to S1c. Wheat finished easy, ss@%c down; May, $1.1O to $1.10@1.1ob, and July, $1.10k, with oats A@$c off, and provisions showing 2c to l0c decline. Corn from the outset showed decided downward tendency and closed at the days bottom figures. The May deliv- cry in particular was under constd- erable selling pressure, and it was cur rent gossip that a large holder here was unloading through various brok- CTS. Meanwhile, the market lacked ag- gressive support, notwithstanding that wheat at first had an upward slant as a result of enlarged buying in antici- patton of an increase of the import however, was on the part of shorts and was no longer in evidence during the last half of the day.
 Corn receipts here were of unexpected liberal volume today, 403 cars, chiefly from Illinois and southern Iowa, and there was talk that quality of corn in many districts of this territory made marketing imperative before warm weather set in. Under such circum- stances profit taking sales in future deliveries here broadened out, and for at least the time being the market dis played but little if any power to rally.
 Wheat, like corn, closed at about the days lowest level. A number of the early buyers of wheat returned to the selling side., apparently on account of corn weakness. Oats, too, sagged with corn.
 Demand for provisions was at min imum. s

GENERAL LIST IS
 LOWER AT CLOSE
|Irregularity Is Principal Feature Of Friday Sessions Of Finan- cial Markets
By WILL JOHNSON (Lsssed Wire ts The Ags. \ Hsraid)

T .H-
 NEW YORK, Feb. 29.-Irregular- 4 8ity, attendant upon readjustment of the various speculative positions, was the principal feature of the financial markets Friday. Trading in stocks con Itiuued highly professional affair, Stocks opened with a great show of strength, short covering again supply ing the motivating force, and trading was on an active scale. N- Toward midday, however, activity Hell of and certian amount of short fseliing, particularly in the northwest Tern rail group, put in its appearance. For time there was better senti- ment on the tax news from Washing ton, but toward the close of the mar ket the general list was unsettled and closing prices in number of instances were at the low levels of the day.
 Undertone Is Steady
 However, at no time did the market look weak and a fairly steady under tone was maintained. It appeared that a new professional structure was build Hing. The. short element was assisted in the latter part of the day by an advance in call money to the high of the year, To per cent, the rise being due to the lcalling of loans in anticipation of heavy shifting of funds for the end of lthe month requirements and in con Enection with the Japanese loan.
 Northern Pacific, Great Northern land St. Paul issues suffered severe de- }clines. Poor January earnings, again |and also the movement of the marine fnterests against granting rate cut to |trans-continental carriers i, /. furnished the basis of the selling. The first named Foad, breaking to 48A, was selling at the lowest price since 1900. Erhat year |saw the famous corner when the stocks sold at $1,000 share. The break Friday showed that holders of 1.-the stock were growing more than un- easy over the continuance of the pres lent $ per cent dividend.
 Southern Above 50
 The selling of the northwestern rails Hailed to arrest the accumulation in other sections of the railway list. Southern Railway went through 90 for the first time and this added weight to the belief that when dividends are inaugurated they will be at the rate of $5 instead of S4. Wabash "A' made b new high when it reached 45.
 The sharp break in Westinghouse Electric was one of the causes for the markets recession late in the day. .rhe flap was due to the reports that lat the directors meeting next Wednes- day new issue of common stock will be voted to supply working capital for 1.-the constantly expending business of 1.-the company. The issue dropped below Ito 594, off 3as points.
 The copper shares had evidently ad- 3justed themselves to the unfavorable Faction on dividends and were devoting Xmore attention to the advance in copper <prices to the highest of the season, &131s cents a pound. American Smelt- Hing was helped not only by the copper Eadvance. but by the additional marking Hup of the price of lead. Oil shares did little; they are conserving their energy Huntil they discover exactly what the Washington politicians intend to do as regards regulating the industry.

Did Not Misrepresent Aristo- cratic Family Connection,
 Witnesses Declare

NEW YORK. Feb. 29.-The defense in the trial of Beverly D. Harris suit for annulment of his marriage. to Eleanor Elaine Lee Harris, today intro duced testimony supporting the claim regarding the wife's birth and tending to prove that she did not misrepresept her aristocratic family connection.
 After reading depostions and hearing several witnesses, including Whitfield Rayner, son of Eli Rayner. Mrs. Har- ris' benefactor. the trial was adjourned till Monday at the request of George Gordon Battle, attorney for Mrs. Har- ris, and the consent of opposing counsel. MT. Battle said defense witnesses were coming from the south: that the wear of the trial on Mrs. Harris was such that she could not take the stand, and that he himself was exhausted. . I;
 Justice Wasservogel informed gst he councillors that the term in which the case has been tried so far expired today and that it would be resumed in aIl- other part of the supreme court.
 The principal disposition admitted was lUdt ui tue ldtt Ell licI. duiuttb.Q operator of gaming house in Memphis. It was he who paid for the girls edu- cation and introduced her into the best circles in the south. he said. He denied his relations with her had at any time been improper. He declared Samuella, or Susie Lee, the girl Mir. Harris be- lieves is his wife, is a sister of Mrs. Harris, for he had seen them together in Memphis at his home. ae F
 Other dispositions from prominent Tennesseans concerning the character of Eli Rayner were introduced. In these he was said to be an honest man. -four square" with all men, honored and respected. man who enjoyed the confidence and friendship of the best men of Memphis.
 When the deposition was taken in Memphis he was asked to relate his meetings with Mrs. Lee, the present Mrs. Harris mother. and refused at first, asserting he would not answer because that woman is not on trial" He was induced to answer, however, and recalled that he first met Mrs. Lee. while on the road as a travelling salesman and that he met her again in Clarksville, Tenn, before she died in 1896. He declared the charge that the present Mrs. Harris had been before her marriage an inmate of an improper house was false.

COTTON MARKET IS
 EXTREMELY WEAK
Liquidation And Selling Heavy
 During Past Week

NEW YORK, Feb. 29.-The cotton market was extremely weak and unset- tied during the earlier part of the week. Liquidation was heavy, while there was selling supposed to represent hedg- ling against stocks of cotton goods or |raw cotton; and, before the decline was checked, the price of May contracts broke to 2S.62c, or nearly 6hc per bound below the high price touched on the rally carry In the month, and Approximately 8%c below the high rec |ord of last November. The selling on this decline was promoted by reports that Lancashire spinners of American cotton had adopted the short-time pro- |posal and the scattering liquidation of
 March contracts incident to the prepa- lration for and reception of notices on Tuesday. The. e.ffQuidation was supposed |hngs acquired from the BOG level in the Depreciation of broadening trade de- |naand at that figure, or a reassertion tof bullish statistical influences, which. However failed to develop. At the de- feline, the market showed indications of |a firmer technical position, and there Swere sharp rallies later in the week on towering and scattered buying en- by better reports in the cot kton goods market, comparatively steady RI.iverpoo1 cables and claims of a firmer ttone in the southern spot markets. May Hconfracts sold up to 30.22c during this zmorning's trading, making a. recovery sof 1T0 points from the low level of Tuesday; but there was realizing or Ia renewal of liquidation above the BOG
 mark and the advance was not fully |maintained. ---- -' The threat of a lockout of Lancashire snnill operatives was still hanging over tthtssmarkets toward the end of the
 week, but were not taken very seri- 'iousfy owing to the comparatively steady |ruling of the Liverpool cables, although the latter appeared largely due to the demand for spot cotton for export to |the continent or elsewhere. Further 3delays were reported in farm work dur. |hng the earlier part of the week, and '|at one time, while old crops were un- der liquidation, the difference between kJuly and October narrowed to about
 220 points. Later, the weather in tho Ssouth cleared up and the difference
 widened out somewhat. Notices pre-.
 senting about 50,000 bales were issued Ion the first March notice day and sev. eral thousand bales have been rendered since, but trade interests bought March against May at 36 to 45 points.

MOVE. TO REVOKE
 RAILROAD CHARTER
Arkansas Wants Operation Of Freight And Passenger Trains

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Feb. 29.-The Arkansas board of railroad incorpo- rators today authorized J. s. Utley, state attorney general and attorney for the board, to bring suit to revoke the char ter of the Arkansas Short Line Railroad company, which operates freight road between the towns of Truman and Mac Donald in Poinsett county.
