It was the con tinuance of damage reports from Kan sas that caused the Initial ad,vace of '4 to He a bushel In the wheat pit this morninfr and forced a closing of H to o a bushel above yesterday. Today s performance was directly op posite what had been expected by the trade but nevertheless this occasioned no surprise for during times of crop damage reports anything might hap- Fen and this Is exactly what the trade lgures after the higher opening. Encouragement of substantial char acter was given the bull side of the wheat trade this morning by the early cables. At Liverpool opening prices were to 4d above yesterday and the closing showed still further gains at an advance of to Tfcd. There was a disposition to discount the damage news from Kansas after the opening but the rise In wheat prices abroad made, up for any loss In bullish sentiment on that score. Minneapolis advices, tell of the in ability of millers to secure satisfac tory prices- for their flour and this occasioned a slight reaction In cash values at some point. However, a gen eral sentiment in the cash wheat mar ket Is even more bullish than In fut ures. In today's trading September received most attention and made the greatest gain, both at the opening and the clos ing of the session.

Wall street was on the ragged edge today and sold stocks heavily, because of the promise, of trouble between United States Steel corporation and the gov ernment because of alleged vio lations of anti-trust laws. MM LOCALITIES Quality Is Good Where Sheep Have Been Fed Regularly Some Operations Reported Around Prineville. Hopes to Capture City, Crush Provisional Government, and Win Recognition. New York, March 23. Charges made by President Samuel Oompers of the American Federation of Labor that th United States Steel corporation was u violator of the Sherman and other anti trust laws were reflected by the sharp selling pressure In corporation f shares today In the stock market For the limited trading on the stork market today the selling of Steel was enormous. Inflicting a net decline of 1 i points in the preferred and k point In the common. The weakness in Steel forced a gen eral reaction In the entire list with the exception of National Lead, which closed wiin a nise oi puim over yeoieiuay. American Smelter received the bulk of the reaction outside of Steel and closed with the greatest loss for the dav points from yesterday. Rock Island common lost 1 Vi points. Amalgamated Copper 1 point and Colo rado Fuel pont Outside of these the only prominent loss was In Union Pacific, which closed 1 fci points off Money rates were helj stationary wuh call loans, ruling between 2?,il&3 per cent during the day. Summary of Wall Street. Wall Street Journal says in its sum mary today: Americans In Londen firm, l to above parity. New Haven conductors and trainmen vote overwhelmingly in favor of strike. Sympathetic utiike in I'hlludelphlu completely collapsed1 and car strike seems likely to rail. Administration railroad bill expected to pass senate and reach iouse of rep resentatives. Western labor situation still very un settled. Stock exctiange governors will act on Easter holidays petition this afternoon. London general market steady with strength in mining department. Anaconda stock increase -will be voted at meeting today. io early probability of dividend on Federal Mining & Smelting common. Cnlcago reports western business rapidly reviving with milder weather. Wool shearing has started In earnest in eastern Oregon and reports of the clip vary considerably. While full operations will not be begun for about weeK, many stieepmen are clipping at this time so that the animals con bw swvt to market .ha1 of the general rush which always causes lower prices. "While I have not the definite fig ures on hand as tor the clip a year ago, some of the sheep we have Just shorn have turned out very heavy fleeces," says Henry Hahn, president of Wad hams Co., anil of the Prlnevlllfl Land Livestock company. "Last year the spring was so cold that the fleeces hud but little grease, but this year condi tions in that regard seem more favor able. The wool that Is not good this year will be caused by the lack of steady feeding." tfolUo Piwm LeeeM Wire.) New Orleans, March 21. Consul Alt schul, who represents the Madrts fac tion of the Nlcaraguan government, de clared today, following the announce ment that Madrli' troops are moving on Bluefields, that confidential advices he had received confirmed the press dis patches. The Madris army, he said, bad bmi secretly advancing for seven days. It was now In the Rama district and would march from there to Blue fields. President Madris hopes by thn cap ture of Bluefields to end the revolution In Nicaragua and by crushing thepro vlslonal government win recognition from Washington, according to Alt-schul. IMPROVED QUARTER BLOCK DISPOSED OF Arbitration Board Decides High Cost of Living Justi fies Wage Increase. , HOLDUP MEN ROB THREE YOUNG WOMEN (I'nlted Prets Seated TVIre.1 Tafcoma. Marsh 23. Three holdup men, at the points df revolvers, last night robbed three young women of money and diamonds valued at $800. The robbers entered the apartments of the young women, which are located in what was formerly the restricted dis trict, and after chatting for an hour suddenly drew their revolvers and marched the girls Into another room, where they bound and gugged them. Tying them securely with electric light wires the thugs stripped off their dia mond rings and eardrops, took $300 In cash from a trunk, threw a heavy mat tress over the women and left the housu. STREET EXTENSION FINALLY POSTPONED An improved quarter block at Chap man and Clifton streets, was sold In three parcels yesterday afternoon at auction for $12,112.50. The property formerly belonged to Mrs. Minnie M. Lee, Mrs. Kane and Miss Chapman, who purchased it a few months ago for $11,000. The Inside 65 by 100 feet, Im proved with two modern two story dwellings, was bid in by Mia. A. 11. Mcii-enrlo for $7862.50, and the vacant corner lot, 84 by 100, was taken by Mrs. Amelia Johnson for $4250. The Inside holding yields an Income of about $ per cent on the figure at which It was bid In. and Is considered by opera tors In Portland Heights property as a good buy. It Is probable that the cor ner lot, purchased by Mrs. Johnson, will be utilized an a nfle for a four story brick apartment house. On account of the storm yesterday, the auction sale was poorly attended, and the property sold did not bring as high a figure as lots In the same dis trict had previously brought at private sale. An effort on the part of certain In- i terests to extend Hollajiay and Paclflo streets and to widen Oregon street was blocked In the city council this morn ing by Councilman Cellars and Coun cilman Watkins, who secured an Indef inite po.-ponement of further exten sion and widening proceedings. The extension of Holladay and Pa cl.ic streets would cut through the tract of ground given by Mrs. P. J. Mann as a site for a home for the aged. Tim value of the donation made by Mrs. Mann ! $150,000 and the home will be of lasting benefit to the city. Range of New York prices furnished by Overbeck & Cooke Co. Drlc by Overbeck & Cooke Co.)
