Chicago, March 3. Wheat opened
In a dangerous mood and closed 1 3-8c
to 2 l-4c a bushel lower than yester
day. '
The slump was caused by the bear
ish report Issued regarding the
amount of wheat In farmers' hands.
Crop Expert Snow estimates that 172,-
000,000 bushels of wheat remained
In the hands of the American farmers
on March 1 and while unofficial, was
credited by the general trade. This Is
the largest amount of wheat held by
producers since 1907, and previous to
that Is the greatest amount of wheat
ever held from the market by far
mers. All world's markets for wheat were
In a bearish mood today and the clos
ing was generally lower. While Buda
pest showed no change from yester
day at today's closing, there was a loss
at the end of the day of 1 3-8o at Ber
lin. Liverpool opened l-2d lower
than yesterday and closed l-4d to 7-8d
lower.
Estimated Argentina shipments:
Wheat, 4.400,000 bushels; corn, 400,

RAILROADS PLAN GREAT
IMPROVEMENTS FOR YEAR
Seattle. The people of 'Oregon,
Washington and Idaho cannot watch
too carefully the railroad Improve
ments which will take place In these
three states during the next year.
Reports from headquarters are to the
effect that the transcontinental roads
are prepared to send many hundreds
of thousands of dollars In the North
west beginning with the spring
months. , This means only one thing
and that Is that Oregon, Washington
and Idaho have reached that state of
commercial development where it be
comes necessary to give them the very
best possible railroad equipment. In
Washington alone the Great, North
ern will spend more than $2,500,000
during the year 1910 and there Is no
doubt that enormous sums will be
spent; In Improvements In the other
Northwest states. It will be necessary
to put lots of money into new rolling
stock and other equipment In order
to carry on the ever increasing busi
ness. James Woodworth, one of the
big traffic men of the Northern Pa
cific and one of the best Informed
men in railroad circles on emigra
tion matters was In the Puget Sound
country the past week and In news
paper interviews stated that the Hill
roads look, for the greatest colonist
business In their hlBtory this year.
The settlers are surely coming; they
will locate In Oregon and Idaho and
Washington and every section of the
great Northwest will benefit. Never
In the history of the Pacific coast
have the prospects of the Northwest
been so bright as they are at the
present moment.
