SPOTGANNFD GOODS
Trading in Futures This Year
Will Be Small.
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."

' 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.

STOCKS LET. GO
Selling Causes Sharp Break in
Prices at New York.
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. United States 4s regis

Strength ot the Early Market at Chi

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.

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. They all
know who she is.
Mrs. Green goes to her office in the
Chemical Bank three days a week.
"Her daughter comes here every morn
ing," the corner grocer said. "She gets

Dr L. Yee & Dr. K. York'e treatment for

"She ain't a bit sociable," said on
of the other tenants. 'I tried to sret
the makings of a cup of tea from her
and she informed me through the key
