INDUSTRIALS OFF IN FINAL HOUR Rail Issues Fractionally Down—Chandler Loses 4 Points. NEW TORE, May 9.—The stock market closed Irregular today, most of the Industrial Issues again becoming weak. United States Steel held around 84%, while Republic -eacted to 63%; Crucible to 82 and Baldwin to 90*4. The railroad Issues declined tionallyBtudebaker again yielded to 54% and Chandler fell to 76%, a loss of 4 points. Mexican Petroleum was weak, dropping nearly 3 points to 149%. Total sales of stock* were 1,170, iOO shares; bonds, 110,353,000. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —May 9—The stock market this morning was decidedly reactionary, and this was hardly surprising, considering the character of the news over the week-end. especially from Europe, where the labor situation In England has reached a very critical stage. In our own business affairs the bearish faetor was the price cut adopted in the automobile line. It seemed entirely logical for the public to assume that all ww not harmony in the ranks of manufacturers, and that some further cutting may be looked for. While all this may in the end be beneficial in hastening the readjustment that Is necessary In the price of raw materils, particularly In steel and Iron, and also the readjustment of wages, nevertheless for the time being it mears that business has not been satisfactory, and this view is corroborated by a trade Journal reporting a decided slackening in the demand for cars during the last couple of weeks. The decline this morning was rather severe In a good many Issues. One favorable result of this Is an Improved technical position in the industrial department. Ralls did well and the public are again taking kindly to this group. Today there was considerable activity with all leading commission houses participating In the business. The improvement In the rails should continue. In the Industrials there Is no Justification for a bearish position, but there is ample reason for a little conservatism and some further reaction would not be out of place. TWENTY STOCKS AVERAGE.

GRAIN PRICES CLOSE IRREGULAR Rallies Made by Some Months Before Final Trade. CHICAGO, May 9.—Grain prices were Irregular at the close of the Chicago Board of Trade today. Scattered selling at the outset caused the market to open generally lower, but rallies were made in most months before the close. Provisions were Irregular. May wheat opened at $1.40, off 1%, and fell off l%c at the close. July wheat opened unchanged at $1.14 nd cloßed off %c. May corn started unchanged at 59%e and closed np %c. July corn was off %c at the opening of 61%c and closed %c higher. September corn opened at 03%c, off %c, and closed %c higher. May oats opened at3%c, off %c, and advanced %c at the close. July oats opened off %c at 38c and closed %o higher. September oats opened at 39%c, off %c, and advanced %c at the close. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) • —May 9 Wheat—A few private advices from Oklahoma, outlining unfavorable conditions to the growing crop, gave the early market appearance of firmness. There, was no breadth to the demand, and there was selling by southwestern houses, apparently hedging againgt purchases of cash wheat from the country. It was claimed that country offerings were quite liberal, and at the same time there was a lack of demand. Cash wheat has been weak everywhere, especially In the Chicago market, premiums for hard winter wheat and northern spring wheat sharply lower. The visible supply has scored another decrease and is down to the point where considerable strength might appear If any broadening of the milling demand. The decline In prices resulted In some export business, details not given. It Is not known whether this was against previous sales or whether it was new business. Today’s crop report Is expected to show a larger yield than that given In the April report. If so prices should, show further easiness, but we doubt if It Is advisable to become wedded to the selling side because of the scanty accumulations and the fact that the offerings from the country are moving through to the seaboard and are not building up domestic supplies. In addition to this the crop news Is not likely to be all on color. Corn and Oats—Claims of poor conditions of crop in a limited portion of the Southwest Induced a little local buying, *ut as for some time paoi mere was no revival of general Interest In either corn or oats elevator a<cumula tions of both these grains are decreasing sharply. But this seems to be on previous sales for shipment, rs the present demand is slow. )Ye do not expect any independent action in either of these grains. Provisions —Domestic demand for hog products is said to be good, but it is not sufficiently large to stimulate the mar ket. While some consider products about ! ft proper level, it Is more manifest each day that something must develop to revive abroud Interest.

Knowlton, an attractive young authoress of Bwampscott, who lost her plea for annulment of her marriage to Arthur Llewellyn Griffiths of Marblehead, explorer and friend of former President Taft, 1* stranger and more Involved than any domestic problem of fiction from her own pen. Mrs. Knowlton's latest book Is said to be based on her two tempestuous marriages between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five. Mrs. Knowlton, who prefers the name, although her first hus- | band divorced her six years ago, by j the court's ruling is still Griffith's wife 1 under the Vermont ceremony which Judge Quinn alluded to as a “pretend Ml marriage.” Griffiths had a wife, Mrs. Stella Wood Griffiths of Winslow, Maine, whom the ! court found he had not divorced before marrying Mrs. Knowlton. And there developed the matrimonial enigma. Either Mrs. Knowlton Is still j Griffith's wife, or the years they lived : together following the Vermont marriage I were not spent in legal wedlock. Or she ! never had any legal claim on Griffiths. !Or Griffiths had two wives. Judge Quinn's decision would Indicate that under legal ethics the Vermont ceremony would have no standing in court. | Mrs Knowlton, mother of one child and twice married, at the age of 25, is left In a matrimonial muddle. She Is socially prominent on the North Shore.

British Dominions Storm at Secrecy LONDON, May . —Representatives of British Dominions In London are fiercely protesting against the mantle of secrecy under which the proceedings ot the Imperial Conference In London next June are lying hidden. The two things that the Dominions are most anxious to discuss are the Anglo-Japanese Alliance and the Irish question. They have been assured that no steps will be taken toward the renewal of the Japanese Alliance without their concurrence, but they want to know in advance what constitutes the policy of the British Cabinet In order that it may be discussed by their respective Governments before the delegates leave for London. So far they have been unsuccessful In obtaining any Information. A similar position exists with regard to Ireland. The British authorities are fully aware of the strength of feeling existent in the Dominions In regard to I Irish questions and especially In reference to the Administration of Sir Hamar Greenwood. But, although they have Invited colonial representatives to put their views forward, yet there I Is not the slightest assurance that these will be in any way acted upon. This also is causing considerable discontent. Apart from this, there is also a feeling that the dominions will be asked to assent to a scheme for closer union ; with the mother country, both fiscal ! and otherwise, but without any opportunity of the scheme being put forward for popular approval beforehand. Great efforts are being made to per- | suade the British government to come out into the open and state Its views on these matters. Any failure to tic so will probably imperil the success of the conference in advance.

May 9.—Max, the janitor at the police station, is firmly convinced that the saying in regard to cats having nine lives Is considerably more than a saying. A man brought three kittens to the station with the request that they be put where there would be no further worry over the high price of milk or the housing problem. The kittens were placed in the gas box in the basement constructed for the primary purpose of sending dogs on their long sleep, but occasionally tried out on cats. The gas was turned on and the pussies apparently gave up the ghost. Later they vere found loudly calling for their breakfast, in lieu of which the gas was turned on for a second time, and for a second time the kittens went to sleep and awakened again. Mnx says if the gas holds out he wUI endeavor to take the other seven lives which he is convinced they possess.
