Trader A Carringtou. the largest grain, stock, and cotton house In the world, announce that they will retire from the stock and cotton business July 1., But tbey will coattnue in grain the same as ever: They are tired of the stock and cotton bus loess, and being the most thorough grain men In the trade, they prefer the latter.

To swing a stock, grata, and cotton trade of the volume on Which the house has operated for the past few 'years, requires an immense amount of money, and the expense hat been too great for ihe risks and pet revenue, although the Utter has been large. The" New York office, which rents for $26,000 a year, will be closed May 1. and baa been rented to C. D. Barney A Co.

The produce exchange office, which is run by Martin G. Watheny, will be continued. The firm Is be reorganised and W. T. Carrtngtoo.

Pringle-Fitch and Rankin 3,000.000 and Knight-McDougal .1.500.000 bu. All of this, was credited to-he Bartlett-Frasler---ln-terest. Barrell. who was.

the most sggres--slve bear for months, sold 1.500.000 bu be- -fore midday. The bull leaders made no secret that they had dumped their holdings. their wheat going on the first break to 96c. The wheat, they said, all went to shorts. The Lichtstern Interest, which haa been sell- Ing -of late gnd doing Its business entirely under cover, was credited with buying most of the wheat, and la quoted as talking 90e.

It was the 'gossip among the trade alter the dose, in discussing all features of the wheat situation, that there was really less to buy It on now, after a break of than there was when May wheat sold at 81.12." Oct. 14. Yesterday It was down within of the lowest -of the season, 94c, made Aug. U. A trader who has large interests in cash grains, who seldom expresses an opinion, said the load of wheat has passed from strong Into weak bands, which Is one reason for looking for a further Irregular decline, as holdings are now scattered among hundreds of traders.

He attributed the. break to the big crop ln Argentina and to the activity of Argentlne'aellera in taking advantage of the high prices asked for American wheat to acll aMarge portion of crop. In other-words, he said it was a caae of America holding' the bag and keeping prices here 56c higher than they really should have been, while Argentina has filled up foreign markets with so much wheat that Europe will not want a great deal of ours for some time to come. As to the theory that the recent advance, was good thing for the country at tbe titne of the panic, he disagreed with men In the trade, aad said It waa a case of our needing foreigners' dollars more than our wheat, and It would have been better had prices been- allowed to decline to a point where all the wheat wa have to spare, it wassaid that traders who hsd beep ieTJ-for export might have been sold and chipped i Ing wheat short 'through Sidney Love had abroad.

Several other shrewd judges of market conditions also expressed the same opinion.

jsn. 2X. "Impract ticable, unwise, financially, unsound" were the words used today regarding tbe Al-drtcb currency bill by former President John T. Hamilton of the American Banking association, who appeared before the House committee on banking aad currency. In a vigorous etatementrequtntly Inter-rupted by questions by members of the committee, Mr.

Hamilton took a position susre ly. behind the McKinney financial bill, representing the slews- pt the, currency committee of the American Backers' association, and in opposition to the hill introduced by Senator Aldricb and Representative Fowler. In tbe absence of Chairman Fowler. Rep- resentstive Prince of Illinois The scheme of the Aldrich hill for the issusnce of emergency Currency on 'suph security ss bonds of atatea. counties, municipalities, and certain corporations was denounced by Sir, Hamilton.

He said this proposed departure from' the currency security system which has obtained since the fonndation of the government, is "a step ward toward the conditions from which arosvrthe wlld-csf currency In use before the civil war," and dented thst the substitution would sld the business public In obtaining loans' from banks In time of great need. He thought that In practical operation It would impair tbe lending power of the banks. The bill; he aald, would operate aa a false inflater of those bonds authorised ss securities, snd would Incite ststes. counties, mu-ntcipsllties.

snd certsis corporations to an overissuance of bonds: It "woo Id set a premium upon Increase of bonded Indebtedness, which would be highly detrimental to the bond Issuers. The marketing of securities he said, should be no part of the nation's business; and. furthermore, the necessary delay incident to determining the value ot bond offered aa security for the emergency currency would make.lt unavailable until after th crisis was paiL- "Crises," he sstd. "are short, sharp, and dangerously decisive. The Aldrich bill Is a remedy offered after recovery or death." i rawlgr Bill Tms BraaaL i Referring to the fVsrler bll Mr.

Hamilton conceded it at It contained Some meritorious features.Wt be condemned the measure- as Amorr t1s Taobs was that ita scope is tod broad that it aims at so radical a reform of the currency system that to pat It in operation "would nnaettle rather than mend financial conditions."

Mr.
