Trying to Figure 1t Ont.

There is about 100000 bushels of No. 2
spring in the elevator here, and l, 100000
bushels in Milwaukee. The receipts are
ABOUT 100000 bushels per day. If Mr..
Keene and his friends contemplate running
a corner, they would be obliged to purchase
all the cash wheat that will arrive in this city
during the next two months, and then 60
long on December options to the extent of
twenty or twenty-five millions. Such a
combination is not possible. The impression
generally prevailed, and it is doubtless the
true one, that Mr.. Keene and his friends re-
gard wheat at the present price as the cheap
est property in the market, and that the in
vestment will be productive of large profit
at the opening of navigation next spring.
This view is strengthened by the fact that
the combination borrowed in New York So
100000 for seven months at the rate of 5
per cent. Wheat was three-fouths and one
cent higher, but the volume of business was
comparatively light.
The nearest thing to an interview with
Mr.. Keene, who has profound dislike for
reporters and all their work, was talk with
MR.. J. x. FISHER,
one of the brokers, after several Intellectual
attempts to get the ear of the principal.
Mr.. Fisher was at his Office, ard the re-
porter applied to him for intelligence as to
where and when, if such thing we're in the
range of possibilities, Mr. Keene might be
seen for brief chat.
"That will be impossible, can assure
you," was the reply. "Mr. Keene has said
he will not be interviewed by any of the re-
porters, and it will be perfectly useless to at
tempt to see him."
"Can you tell me, Mr.. Fisher, anything in
reference to his visit here at this time, his re-
ported heavy purchases, and whether the
scheme is one in the interest of an alleged
corner, or simply cool, legitimate, long
headed speculation, born of faith in the
belief that wheat must go up?"
81 can tell you that it is no corner, or any
thing of the sort, as Mr.. Keene told the New
York reporters before he came away. He
has simply bought large quantity of wheat,
through his brokers, because he believes that
wheat is going mp, and that it will pay"
do you know how large that amount is?D
"Mr. Keene keeps his own counsel, and
his brokers simply act under Instructions. I"
"But you, Of course, know how much

10 Emmett's Donkey
New York Star.l


"Now vas happiness" cried 10 Emmett in
front of an uptown theater the other day
when curious looking little gray donkey
appeared around the corner. His donkey
ship was arrayed in re blanket with yell
low trimmings, upon which was embroided
in large letters, ''The New Fritz and was
drawing after him milk-can perched on
wheels.
"Hahlo, Fritzie," sang ont Emmett, and
che haw, he-e-haw'' responded the donkey,
with great cordially.
'Dodt's don cry, aindt it?' queried the
comedian in his inimitable patois. ''Vell,
dodt Teller is der most experienced actor of
his nationality vot you hef efer seen. He's
full-plooded Irishman yust like me"' and
he scratched the donkey's eals.
The donkey seemed to appreciate the Ca
ress, bee-hawed again, and tried to bite JOS
hand. De fust dime I ever bring dat DON

you Lave bought for him, as one Of his
brokers?"
81 do, but it wouldn't be proper for me to
say"
You think it would be entirely useless for
me to attempt to see him?"
81 do. He is much annoyed at the pub
licity already given to his own private
business, and declares positively that he
will not see one of you gentlemen of the
press"
"May it be permitted us to know" inquir-
ed the reporter, determined to keep on the
right side of the prophecies which seem to
govern this business of wheat speculations,
"what foundation he has for the faith that
is in him in regard to this possible rise of
wheatf"
GAS said before, Mr.. Keene keeps his
own counsel. In general may say it is
thought there will be considerable export
business, and the wheat will accordingly be
in great demand"
Further than that Mr.. Fisher said not.
WHAT KEENE SAYS.
James Z. Keene was seen personally later
in the day, and in reply to an inquiry dis
claimed all intention of running corner in
| wheat. He has purchased about 100000
bushels OF the grain, paying cash therefor,
which would require about $3,000,000. He
has paid from 80 to IS cents per bushal, and
| intends to store his grain and wait for better
times. He stated to the reporter that he had
certain amount of money to invest, and
accordingly bought wheat, thinking that to
| be better investment than the stock mar
/ ket. Mr.. Keene emphatically denied that he
was interested in any special movement in
wheat, and reiterated his former statement
that he had invested his money in wheat be
cause he thought it was safe, and intended
to hold the grain until spring.

How He Raised His Salary.
Chicago Times. I


Potter Palmer is a busy man, and that he
now and then confounds things that are dis
similar, or fails to associate those that are
alike, is not to be wondered at. In the null
tiplicity of his duties he is often called upon
to act promptly and with decision. Some
times he is a little too prompt, as the case
in point will show. A few days ago, during
one of his rounds through his pslatiaI hotel,
he entered a room suddenly and discovered
a window washer leisurely engaged in read
ing newspaper. Being very active him
self, he has no use for q lazy man, or one
who Sights his work. He discharged the
washer on the spot and ordered him to GO
to the office for his pay. The man obeyed,
got his money, went to his room
on the upper floor, arrayed himself
in his Sunday suit, packed up his buds and
descended to the servants apartment to take
leave of his former associates. About this time
MIR. Palmer entered, but did not recognize
his quondam employe in his store clothes.
'Here, my man, you look as though there
was good work in you; do you want q iob?''
The ex-washer, somewhat surprised, admit
ted that he stood in need of one. "Can you
wash windows?" The man allowed that he
could. "Well," said Mr.. Palmer, ''1've just
discharged man who has been doing that
kind of work. 1 paid him only 800 month,
but if you take the place and go right to
work I'll pay you 500" The proposition
was quietly accepted, and in half an hour
the discharged employe was scrubbing away
n the same old room.
