Chicago, April 3.—Bnrtlett, Fraxler St Car-
rlugtou: The bug stories are Insistent
enough to keep the average trader off the
short side. Dry weather 7s a factor more
to In* feared than the green bug. The
onenlug of navigation will Inerense mate-
the weuthcr ami crop prospects,
Corn Is (hill, but maintains a very
good undertone.
Outs are quiet. Would wait for a reaction
before buying.
Tho Chicago Evening Post: Medford,

tensive Investigations around Perry nud
Guthrie with Professor Sanliorn. entomolo
gist, and Mr. Aluslcy. of the Washington

Were none. They have destroyed entire
fields of wheat nnd oats, leaving them com
pletely Imre. Home fields are being plow-
<h1 up nnd many will In*. Bugs spread
when* they were Just In spots heretofore.
Around Guthrie, every field of wheat and
oats Is full of bugs. It Is the opinion of
both the bug and crop expert whom he
Is with thnt the wheat and oats are cone
In Oklahoma, the same ns In Texas. They
are going to make extensive Investigation*
In southern Kiinsn*. Unless some climatic

offerings around 139, with some support
flbout 136. Smelting has extended Its limita
tions 1190125, l»elng sold on bulges nnd
bought on drops for turns by protrusion
als. Bullish talk continues on Atchison,
but tve would not neglect fair returns lu
it. even in view of n higher dividend. It
should not be bought on bulges. Neither
should other actives. Brooklyn will meet a
check toward Cl, according to a specialist,
who reports a short demand. Canadian
may sag off some more In view of Increased
offerings. St. Paul Is now held lndween
122 and 123. New York Central 113 nnd
120; Pennsylvania 120 and 126. A stop-or
der safeguard Just beyond limits may be
beneficial.
Town Topics: The demand from the
short* seems to Imre been pretty well
sntslfled In most Issues, nnd we look
for a further general decline, ns there Is
not much encouragement to buy stocks
after the sharp advance that bus taken
place.
The strength In Brooklyn, on the other
hand. Is accompanied by rumors of a enm-
nalgn sgalust the shortage, which Is still
fulrly large In this security, and there uiny
be other points of strength due to simi
lar causes, but, on the whole, the market
seems to Invite renewed tmnrlsh aggres
sion around the present levels, especially
ns the bulge* bring ont plenty of offerings
from banking quarters.
The Atchison directors will, In all prob
ability, place thnt stock on a 6 per cent
basis today, but It is a question whether
such action has not already l>een discount
ed In view of the relative quotations for
stock* of equal value. We would not
buy Atchison, or. Indeed, nuy of the mils,
except on sharp recessions from Inst
night's close. We expect materially low
er prices to rule In Amalgamated, ns there
Is no likelihood of any ndvauce lu the
dividend rate for some time to come, nud
er metal Is still on the down grade,
our opinion there will not be any pos-
m ty of any bull movement of Importance
until .the settlement of the western rail
road labor difficulty, which Is ns much a
drawback on the Industrial list ns ou the
rails.
Cotton should be sold on strong snots.
