NEW POLICY OF BUYERS Business In Local Produce Lines Is Increasing Supplies Are Lim ited and the Prices Are Well Maintained. The indication are that the grocery trade till year will se less business in futures, partirularlr 1a the canned goods line, than for many years 'jiast. At this time of year t!i demand for futures Is usually greatest, but Just now there is practically nothing doing in this class of goods In the East, except In .Maine corn. Packers are doing '1 th?y can to arouse Interest but buyers p.r" cautious and the bulk of the trade rill wa't until the article U on spot. - According to advices from the Cast, the Maine corn packers who recently put out opening prices , above those of last year, .assert- that they have done fuHy as well ; with futures as they did a year ago. and 'JV7 was. they say. one of the best years -for sales In advance of the park that they hsve toad In a long while. Not all. how , ever, aerm to have had this experience, but they are not worrying over present con ditions, being supported by the con fident belief that they will have no dlfTI cutly in Helling everything they can pack, at their own prices, long before the sea son is ended, and that buyers will be clam oring for more. Business In future tomatoes st.il hangs fi-e and the undertone of the market is ..' e iiy. though packor are not disposed to 1 git way yet In their ideas as to what to Vi Hoes should be worth. iaa Francisco advices state that some fra for future asparagus subject to ap val of prices when made are being fked by canners. It Is added that the lager will want a clearer Idea of the cost rif 'raw material and the quantity available brtore they will be able to make quotations, ini Its review of the canned goods situa tion the San Francisco Trade Journal says: "The principal matter of interest here at ""in-sent is volume and price of the aspara gus crop. The former is likely to be a good average.. But the quantity available f'li -canning will be small as a very large part of it is b'Ing nhtpped East in a pr ten stale and the rest Is held above the ilt-wi of buyers. So that the outlook la for 4n iy a medium pack and firm prices." ( In regard to deliveries, a prominent Balti more firm stated that they will make no change in their former policy in reference to (.-mitracts on future goods which has been MO per cent delivery guaranteed. "It is thi' only equitable form of contract," they nay. "The Jobber should insist on the loO per cent delivery, and thereby eliminate che former speculative features embodied In the pro rata clause. We have no difficulty ; Ir. selling all the future goods that we care to sell on guaranteed 100 per cent delivery ' contract." a 4' i wii.-'Ptiii v t its n rrrswa ' Supplies Are Moved Off About as Fast mn iieceIred.,J" Trade In- the fresh produce line is of very satlsTactory. proportions. The city demand - Hut increased considerably , in the last few dY, and country orders are of large vol . . ume. Jobber are having some difficulty In . supplying the want of their customers, owing to the generally right shipments from California. The unusually cool weather In the Southern state has made the vegetable crops backward1 and p'ice In general do not show the seasonable decline usual at this time of year. An exception Is 'asparagus, which la new coming forward more freely and gradually getting down to a reasonable level. Four car of t. ananas, more or leas ripe, and two care of oranges came in yesterday. Orange are In strong demand and clean up about as fast, as received. The market has an upwaru endsnoy. covti;y pboduck ulnes are weak Egg and Poultry Move More Slowly Vn- , usually Large Arrivals of Veal. .- The poultry market was only fairly ac- ksjve yesterday. There was a moderate de- i-nand for "chickens and as receipts were wtnsll the previous prices were maintained. Egg prices hold very steady, considering v the sluggishness of the market. Prices were !' and 1 cents according to quality. Butter of all kinds sells well and no ac cumulation Is to be seen in the local mar ket. City and country brands were quoted as formerly. There was a break in prices of dressed veal yesterday, owing to the unusual re ceipts, arrivals of the day being as large as all of last week. Dressed pork was quoted steady. Optimistic View of rrune situation. An optimistic view of the prune situation ts taken by one of the leading San Jose packers, who writes: W have yet eight conuming months be fore the iiew crop of prunes will be on the market. The Mock In England.- aa well as In tiermany, is light and they are now , buying. We ourselves have shipped out four cars t the i-at port trade since Mann 1. We believe that the Kuroiean market will take at least 50 cars and possibly 100 by Ausuxt 1.' Uavtng aiound :ttiu cars to be sold In the entire Tnlted tsaifcs for eight month, or loss than . cars per month, to be divided up among all the Jobbers in the country. It uppears from these figures, with the light holdings that are reported in the Kast, that all prum-s ought to be con sumed." H;ink Clearing.

NEWS OF DAY BEARISH Cutting of New York Central Dividend- Afreets Other Securities. Unsatisfactory Reports From Steel Trade Rally at Close. NEW YORK. March 18. The stock mar ket gave evidence today of continued ope ration of considerable force In the specu lation. The movement shifted so constant ly, however, and presented such sharp con tradictions in some of Its demonstrations that It had the effect of greatly unsettling and confusing' speculative sentiment and causing suspicion until stocks were unloaded In haste. The strong recovery in yesterday's late market was held to be an Infallible sign that the bull leadership had let down prices on Monday and early yesterday merely for the purpose of shaking off a weak specu lative following and for the advantage of buying back stocks which they had them selves sold out at a profit. The sharp break which developed today after a mod erate advance proved disconcerting to this view of the situation. incidents in the day's news were against a rise in prices. The market showed pri mary resistance, however, to the principal of these, which was the reduction In the New York Central dividend rate from a 6 to a 5 per cent basis. This action caused no great surprise, as the original advance In the dividend rate was regarded, in the view of the market, as bearing rather on the making attractive of new issues in contem plation than on the rate of earnings of the company. The effect of the announcement was even more pronounced on other trunk line stocks, notably Pennsylvania, than on New York Central Itself. The authoritative statement carried in the Associated Press dispatches from Wash ington clearly defined the much-discussed probability of a special message from the President relating to legislative measures which have been the subject of conferences at the White House for some time past. With the subject thus removed from the realm of mystery, much of the occupation was gone for an element which has been making use. In the stock market, of vague rumors on this subject. The picking out of National Lead for a sharp advance, evidently had a sustaining effect on the general list. It was based upon Its sustained dividend record and the dispro portion of Its price to the dividend com pared with other prominent industrial stocks. The effect, however, was to aggravate the general weakness rather than to relieve it. The knowledge that men influential in the steel trade were In conference In this city, and Intimations that trade conditions here reported were not bearing out recent pre dictions of betterment, weighed on the market severely and made the most substan tial factor in the weakness which developed. Final slight recoveries from the low point of the break were plainly due to nasty covering of short sales. Bonds were Irregular.- Total sates, par value, $2,450,000.

CLOSE IS BARELY STEADY Strength ot the Early Market at Chi cago Follows Advances at Euro pean Grain Centers High Marks in the Corn Pit. CHICAGO. March IS. The wheat market opened moderately strong and continued firm until Late in the session, when a con siderable reaction occurred on profit-taking, due to a slack demand for cash wheat and to favorable weather for the (crop in the Southwest. Commission-houses were the principal buyers throughout the session, but the volume of trade was not large. The early strength was caused by an advance at Liverpool and several other European mar kets and to the extreme bullishness mani fested in the local corn market; Demand waa rattler tame late In the day and the close was barely steady. May opened to c higher at tt3Sc. ad vanced to 96c and declined to 5c. The close was at 955c. New high marks for all deliveries were made In the corn market today, the May option advancing to 6767c, and July to 64 c. The market was strong through out the entire session and closed almost at the top notch. Active demand from shorts and bull leaders was the cause of the strength. The selling was chiefly by hold ers. May opened c higher at 66 67c. advanced .to 6767c and declined to 67c Oats were firm all day in sympathy with corn. May opened c higher' at 54 c, ad vanced to 54c and closed at 5454c. provisions were strona on active demand by shorts and one of the leading packers.

HETTY GREEN'S MANSION Lives In Cheap Hoboken Flat and Is Not Neighborly. vnoir -Murr-h 1S "Go away! Stop rinRing my bell or I'll scream for the police!" was the way Mrs. Hetty Green, the richest woman in America, welcomed a caller today who found her living under an assumed name in a J19 a month flat one block trom the ferry at Hoboken. Mrs. Green disappeared after an In terview attributed to her in boston two weeks ago, in which she told how she had lent Harry Payne Whitney 1.000.0i)0 and had refused to lend the Vunderbilts money even after they ouered her family Jewels as security. Mr Whitney characterized the story as absurd and the Vanderbilts would not discuss it. ,No satisfactory explanation has ever been given for Mrs. Green's preference for Hoboken. Some of her frivolous friends say the modest rent appeals to her, but her intimate associates declare the architectural beauty of the place has won her admiration. Mrs Green moved to her present home about six weeks ago. It is on the fourth floor of a dyspeptic-looking house, not far from where she lived before. There is no elevator. Mrs. Green's daughter is with her. There is a rear entrance, which both women always use. Neighbors say the Green scenery ar rived after dark and was hustled in be fore they could get a look at it.
