PARIS, April 11.—Regarding the case lof Leon Qaget, who was arrested on Sunday, charged with having relations v.Mth Germany, it now appears that Gaget v ts i clerk in a big banking establbsh- knent and that the specific charges on Tvhk-h he ha> been arrested was offering to communicate to the German war of- fL'o a number of very important military documents! He was discovered through the return of one of his letters on ac- count of Insufficient postage. Its con- tents were thus ascertained and the let- ter was forwarded to the ministry .of the interior whore a trap was laid, into which Gaget fell. A search of his apartments revealed ;> statement of the amount of money which he had received from Ger- many.

J>rlve» in l'hoenlx I'ark Aoconi- j»a:ii«>tl hy Princess Victoria. DUBLIN. April 11.-In spite of the al- most continuous rain, the queen, accom- panied by the Princess Victoria of Bat- tenberg, her granddaughter, surprised the f.-w spectators In Phoenix, park by driving out during the afternoon. Her fn.ijesty's destination today was the jDuke of Connaught'9 residence, where Bhe made a brief call, and then continued her drive past Castle Knock college and Mount Sackville convent, where the geholarrf greeted her. But the ordinary toads were deserted. Rain and wind prevailed and the thoroughfares were in A horribie condition. In spite of this it tras not until a point overlooking the fctiver I.affey was reached that the queen Drderod her carriage to be closed. Just as the Highland attendants closed the carriage the storm burst out with re- hewed force, but at the first signs of its abatement her majesty ordered the car- riage to be reopened. As the vice regal pjroundf BazM in? view the-.storm reach- ed almost a hurri.aius with blinding tain, and though the carriage was open the queen contented herself with the shelter of an umbrella, and (he horses flashed forward as rapidly as possible, reaching the vice regal lodge safely at I o'clock, after an eight-mile drive. \u25a0 _^^_ .— AM, ABOUT OI 5) BOTTLES.

May corn closed VB@'ic lower, and May oats unchanged. May pork closed 45ji471i>c; May lard, 12%@15c, and May ribbs, 15#17%C depressed, owing to liquidation and lower hogs.

The close was barely steady, May a shade over yesterday at 673&@tT7%C, Ca- bles were not encouraging, and many on- the floor held that the cold weather would have little if any effect. i The cash demand was poor.

The opening was strong and active, and the bulge met liquidation and a poor cash demand. The wheat strength and the bad weather in sections of the corn-growing belt were tftir factors-early. May opened %&\xC up at L 4oty@>4<H4c ad"- vanced to 40r;Bta8ta 4U:>ic, and then, under | the selling pressure, reacted to 3!)%c.

Pri- mary receipts were large, as were also clearances. Provisions were active but depressed, despite a good outside demand. Hogs : were weaker and receipts were liberal, j Liquidation by influential longs was ! kept up during the entire session, and i did much to lower prices. May pork sold from $13 to $12.67%, closing 45@47%c un- der yesterday at $12.67%; May lard from $6.97i/2 to 6.87%, and closed 12%@15c de- pressed at $6.Bo!SG.>)7Vi, and May ribs from $7.15<Q7.17% to ?6.f»5, with the close 15Cil7U>c lower at $7. Oats advanced early in sympathy with other grains. May reacted under the common impulse, but July held steady on reports of late seeding and a poor crop outlook.

About midway of the s,esslon, however, the pressure to selPw^s somewhat re- laxed, and friends various stocks took them in hand and bid them up. The ad- vance in these stocks was not met by any great burden of offerings, and prices gen- erally tended towards recovery. The rally in prices failed to bring in any nota- ble demand for stocks, and the market became rather heavy ajrain and closed In that condition. Dealings were very largely in profes- sional hands and the efforts of the bears to force down prices and dislodge stop loss orders met with considerable success in some quarters. The character of the buying at the decline indicated that com- mission houses have orders to buy at varying levels below the market. There was no appearance of last week's disposi- tion on the part of the outside public to buy at the market. Prices of Americans were depressed in London before the opening here, but the level of the market fell below the level of the London parity and arbitrage brokers sought stock.3 to cover sales at the higher level in Lon- don. This business was practically largd in Unioa Pacific when that stock got be- low 57, and was a material aid in its late rally of over 2 points with a sympathetic effect on the Pacifies and in a less degree on the whole market. Baltimore & Ohio preferred and Louis- ville & Nashville showed aggressive strength and Missouri Pacific rallied well from the morning's sharp decline. Other- wise the railroad list was rather quiet and sluggish. The most violent movements as usual, were among the industrials and specialties. The fact that Third Avenue stock still commanded a premium for use in the stock loan department last night showed that the short interest had not en- tirely been eliminated by yesterday's violent rise. Active speculation resulted In the stock, and it was forced up at one time 9 points, colapsed 11 points and ral- lied again 5 points. The net gain was 2. The public was not informed in detail of the plan for rehabilitating the property and the movement of the stock was gov- erned by the necessities of the shorts Sugar was somewhat erratic at a high- er level on good conditions 6t trade and reiterated rumors of trade war settle- ment. American Steel and Wire was sub- jected to further severe pressure, with sympathetic effect on the metal group generally. The resisting power developed by Federal Steel, and its rise to 1.1% above yesterday's price had' a Veviving influence on the group. There'was no news to ac- count for the movement in these stocks. The upward progress of sterling exchange and possibility of gold exports was used by the bears with effect. The shipment of $500,000 in gold to-Boenos Ayres which was announced today was regarded as a triangular operation, Felftg in fact a pay- ment on account by New York of Lon- don's obligations to Argentina. The money market here continued easy under the influence of.large gains by the banks from the subfreasury. But appre- hension still exists that If the high money rates In London should draw gold from New York, money rates here would hard- en.

Holbert & Son, bankers and brokers, 341 Robert street, National German-American Bank building, St. Paul: Strong, Sturgls & Co. wire us: "Although the irregular appearance of this market is still evident, the tendency to lower prices may be re- garded as more pronounced. We note less disposition speculatively to buy the high-priced stocks and New York Cen- tral as well as Pennsylvania are exam- ples of this policy. Baltimore & Ohio securities have moved against the stream and the demand for them continues suffi- ciently good to protect and sustain the quotations. In the Industrial field, as well as in the shares of transcontinental roads, realizing has been liberal and prices have suffered accordingly. There is nothing now or at all prejudicial to these shares, but the tide of speculation appears to have spent Its strength and the support thus previously provided has diminished Judging, then, from appear- ances and from local gossip, we fall to find enough of determined bullish feeling to warrant generally higher market. In some quarters this may be changed by clique manipulation, but the list of every day speculations seems to give evidence of weariness." Following furnished by Edwards & Be- dell. Manhattan building. St. Paul, Minn.: The situation and outlook for the im. mediate future remain unchanged—that Is to say, there is not much prospect at present for any extensive improvement in prices from this level. The better class of the railroad list afe a purchase only on pronounced weak spots, and then only for a short turn. FOREIGN FINANCIAL—New York, April 11.—The Commercial Advertiser's London financial telegram says: "There was scarcely any business in the markets here today except closing books before the holidays. The tone was dull on the tightness of money and impatience with the Inaction of Gen. Roberts. Americans were heavy from the start, but there was little movement In them until the after- noon when they broke sharply on New York sales, closing decidedly weak. The only stock New York supported was Baltimore & Ohio which London now avoids, regarding the stock as entirely under Speyer control. No gold was taken or received. The bank did a large busi- ness in loans at 5 per cent for the week. It is using loan money for discounting fix months paper. This is unpopular with the market as it means keeping money tight."

The better class of farm horses seemed to attract more attention to buyers than the common grades. The present condition of the market is giving encouragement of a fair aggregate sale for the week. Prices were a shade stronger than yesterday, and re- ceipts of horses large.

to communicate to the German war of-fL'o a number of very important military

documents! He was discovered through

the return of one of his letters on ac-count of Insufficient postage. Its con-tents were thus ascertained and the let-ter was forwarded to the ministry .of theinterior whore a trap was laid, into whichGaget fell. A search of his apartmentsrevealed ;> statement of the amount ofmoney which he had received from Ger-many.

DUBLIN. April 11.-In spite of the al-most continuous rain, the queen, accom-panied by the Princess Victoria of Bat-tenberg, her granddaughter, surprisedthe f.-w spectators In Phoenix, park bydriving out during the afternoon. Herfn.ijesty's destination today was thejDuke of Connaught'9 residence, whereBhe made a brief call, and then continuedher drive past Castle Knock college andMount Sackville convent, where thegeholarrf greeted her. But the ordinarytoads were deserted. Rain and windprevailed and the thoroughfares were inA horribie condition. In spite of this ittras not until a point overlooking thefctiver I.affey was reached that the queenDrderod her carriage to be closed.

Just as the Highland attendants closedthe carriage the storm burst out with re-hewed force, but at the first signs of itsabatement her majesty ordered the car-riage to be reopened. As the vice regalpjroundf BazM in? view the-.storm reach-ed almost a hurri.aius with blindingtain, and though the carriage was openthe queen contented herself with theshelter of an umbrella, and (he horsesflashed forward as rapidly as possible,reaching the vice regal lodge safely atI o'clock, after an eight-mile drive.

CHICAGO, April 11.—Wheat went uptoday on the bullish government reportand the cold weather, and then wentdown again under selling pressure fromlongs, closing barely steady, May a shadeover yesterday. May corn closed VB@'iclower, and May oats unchanged. Maypork closed 45ji471i>c; May lard, 12%@15c,and May ribbs, 15#17%C depressed, owingto liquidation and lower hogs.

The wheat market opened strong andactive under the influence of the gov-i-rnment report putting the condition at52.1 per cent, considerably lower than hadbeen expected, and the cold weather inthe Southwest. May, %@%c over yester-day at 67%@tM%c. Shorts covered, andan advance to GSVsc was quickly accom-plished. The crowd, however, was againstthe market, lxmgf stuff came out, andthe price was forced down slowly to'i.Vsc. The close was barely steady, Maya shade over yesterday at 673&@tT7%C, Ca-bles were not encouraging, and many on-the floor held that the cold weatherwould have little if any effect. i

The cash demand was poor. Atlantic Iport clearances in wheat and floui-~were jequal to 361,000 bu. Primary receipts were jUtt.OOO bu, compared with 262,000 bu last jyear. Minneapolis and Duluth reported j310 cars, against 374 last week, and 288 i

a year ago. Receipts here were 52 cars, Imine- of contract grades. - .

The story of wheat might be writtenof corn. The opening was strong andactive, and the bulge met liquidation anda poor cash demand. The wheat strengthand the bad weather in sections of thecorn-growing belt were tftir factors-early.May opened %&\xC up at

The !liquidation of May caused the spread be- !tween that option and May to widen to '%c. Receipts here were 310 cars. Pri-mary receipts were large, as were alsoclearances.

Provisions were active but depressed,despite a good outside demand. Hogs :were weaker and receipts were liberal, jLiquidation by influential longs was !

kept up during the entire session, and idid much to lower prices. May pork soldfrom $13 to $12.67%, closing 45@47%c un-der yesterday at $12.67%; May lard from$6.97i/2 to 6.87%, and closed 12%@15c de-pressed at $6.Bo!SG.>)7Vi, and May ribs from$7.15<Q7.17% to ?6.f»5, with the close 15Cil7U>clower at $7.

Oats advanced early in sympathy withother grains. May reacted under thecommon impulse, but July held steadyon reports of late seeding and a poorcrop outlook. May ranged from 25c to24 %c, and closed unchanged at 24%- Julysold from 24% cto 24%c, and closed V4cup at 24%<§24%c. Receipts here were 156cars.

NEW YORK, April U.-The reactionarytendency which developed in the stockmarket yesterday continued manifest dur-ing the early hours toda?, when the sell-ing was active and widely distributedand seemed quite urgent in some stocks.About midway of the s,esslon, however,the pressure to selPw^s somewhat re-laxed, and friends o£ various stocks tookthem in hand and bid them up. The ad-vance in these stocks was not met by anygreat burden of offerings, and prices gen-erally tended towards recovery. Therally in prices failed to bring in any nota-ble demand for stocks, and the marketbecame rather heavy ajrain and closed Inthat condition.

Dealings were very largely in profes-sional hands and the efforts of the bearsto force down prices and dislodge stoploss orders met with considerable successin some quarters. The character of thebuying at the decline indicated that com-mission houses have orders to buy atvarying levels below the market. Therewas no appearance of last week's disposi-tion on the part of the outside public tobuy at the market. Prices of Americanswere depressed in London before theopening here, but the level of the marketfell below the level of the London parityand arbitrage brokers sought stock.3 tocover sales at the higher level in Lon-don. This business was practically largdin Unioa Pacific when that stock got be-low 57, and was a material aid in its laterally of over 2 points with a sympatheticeffect on the Pacifies and in a less degreeon the whole market.

Baltimore & Ohio preferred and Louis-ville & Nashville showed aggressivestrength and Missouri Pacific rallied wellfrom the morning's sharp decline. Other-wise the railroad list was rather quiet andsluggish. The most violent movementsas usual, were among the industrials andspecialties. The fact that Third Avenuestock still commanded a premium for usein the stock loan department last nightshowed that the short interest had not en-tirely been eliminated by yesterday'sviolent rise. Active speculation resultedIn the stock, and it was forced up at onetime 9 points, colapsed 11 points and ral-lied again 5 points. The net gain was 2.The public was not informed in detail ofthe plan for rehabilitating the propertyand the movement of the stock was gov-erned by the necessities of the shorts

Sugar was somewhat erratic at a high-er level on good conditions 6t trade andreiterated rumors of trade war settle-ment. American Steel and Wire was sub-jected to further severe pressure, withsympathetic effect on the metal groupgenerally. The resisting power developedby Federal Steel, and its rise to 1.1% aboveyesterday's price had' a Veviving influenceon the group. There'was no news to ac-count for the movement in these stocks.The upward progress of sterling exchangeand possibility of gold exports was usedby the bears with effect. The shipmentof $500,000 in gold to-Boenos Ayres whichwas announced today was regarded as atriangular operation, Felftg in fact a pay-ment on account by New York of Lon-don's obligations to Argentina.

The money market here continued easyunder the influence of.large gains by thebanks from the subfreasury. But appre-hension still exists that If the high moneyrates In London should draw gold fromNew York, money rates here would hard-en.

The bond market wasr moderately activeand prices were inclined to yield. Totalsales par value. $1,605,000. United Statesnew 3s coup declined %, and the old 4sadvanced % in" the blfl m-iee:

WALL STREET GOSSIP—New~Yorkstock gossip, reported by H. Holbert &Son, bankers and brokers, 341 Robertstreet, National German-American Bankbuilding, St. Paul: Strong, Sturgls &Co. wire us: "Although the irregularappearance of this market is still evident,the tendency to lower prices may be re-garded as more pronounced. We noteless disposition speculatively to buy thehigh-priced stocks and New York Cen-tral as well as Pennsylvania are exam-ples of this policy. Baltimore & Ohiosecurities have moved against the streamand the demand for them continues suffi-ciently good to protect and sustain thequotations. In the Industrial field, aswell as in the shares of transcontinentalroads, realizing has been liberal andprices have suffered accordingly. Thereis nothing now or at all prejudicial tothese shares, but the tide of speculationappears to have spent Its strength andthe support thus previously provided hasdiminished Judging, then, from appear-ances and from local gossip, we fall tofind enough of determined bullish feelingto warrant generally higher market. Insome quarters this may be changed byclique manipulation, but the list of everyday speculations seems to give evidenceof weariness."

Following furnished by Edwards & Be-dell. Manhattan building. St. Paul, Minn.:

The situation and outlook for the im.mediate future remain unchanged—thatIs to say, there is not much prospect atpresent for any extensive improvementin prices from this level.

FOREIGN FINANCIAL—New York,April 11.—The Commercial Advertiser'sLondon financial telegram says: "Therewas scarcely any business in the marketshere today except closing books beforethe holidays. The tone was dull on thetightness of money and impatience withthe Inaction of Gen. Roberts. Americanswere heavy from the start, but there waslittle movement In them until the after-noon when they broke sharply on NewYork sales, closing decidedly weak. Theonly stock New York supported wasBaltimore & Ohio which London nowavoids, regarding the stock as entirelyunder Speyer control. No gold was takenor received. The bank did a large busi-ness in loans at 5 per cent for the week.It is using loan money for discountingfix months paper. This is unpopular withthe market as it means keeping moneytight."

Nashville Banner.Col. Doak's point on the Banner is well

taken, but he himself doesn't seem toknow why. He s;:ys that "verwe dubs."as the Banner uses it, is fataliy wrong,but he says nothing about the <»'heregregious error the Banner falls Into in"venture dubs." Both of these are puidiocisms. The boy intends to say "Iprevent your dubs," as he has a ri^ht todo under the rules regulating dubs, fu.lc;,-,kicks, even (or "roundance," and not"rounduns," as the Banner again 11ups. trackunce. etc. It was a tonguerace, and the glibbest, quickest boy winhis mouth won. and hence it was b (leddown until it became "'vent you" andthen "ventyer." I can prove t' Is byevery body now in Lincoln county, in-cluding, alfc, all those scattered up *!iddown the Sarth who were raised there,and I ha\4 aeen several hundred thou-sand flght^over who said It first.
