FURNISHED BY WALL BIGELOW,

st. PAUL, Saturday, nov. II, 1908.
To-day's letter will be dry reading for the
bulls in wheat-in fact, it is the dryest OF the
week. What with the aggressive bear move
ment and continued heavy receipts, the market
has steadily settled until the sight of wheat quo
tations will almost bring tears to the eyes of the
wheat producer, and little proselyting in the
bull pen of the Chicago board of trade by gym
pathizing lay members of the bear pit might suf-
fee to bring discounted bulls to repentance and
bear salvation. However, it's long lane that
has no turning, and another week may tell diff
ferent story. The course of to-day's markets
will be found in the table below.
Car loads received in Chicago for the past
twenty-four hours were as follows: Winter wheat
10; spring wheat 14J; corn 1926; oats l24..
Following is to-day's range of prices on the

Stocks-The announcement that the Chicago,

notice of its withdrawal from the Iowa pool ex-
erted an unfavorable influence on the stock
market to-day. st. Paul, Minneapolis Mani
toba declined 3335 per cent. to 971E. This stock
was also affected by reports that parties inter
ested in the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
road were building in its territory, and that the
st. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba had notified
the company in question that if building did
not cease it would retaliate by extending their
lines in the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
territory. In the afternoon there was sharp
rise in Wizards on attempts to cover by shorts.

satisfactorily arranged. Oregon Transconti-

ence Of e and u per cent. in cash and regular

strengthened the remainder OF the active list,
which rallied 14@g1 per cent, but in the final
sales the improvement was lost. AS compared
with last nights closing prices are down "a
~ per cent. for the general list and 2% per
cent. for st. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba. The
bears made but little impression on Union Pa
cifc to-day, which closed 116 per cent. lower at

Gould, for the purpose of selecting a new

THE LINCOLN MONUMENT.
Whereabouts of the Fund Collected in Aid
of Its Erection.

Whereabouts of the Fund Collected in Aid
of Its Erection.
Washington Star.
In answer to inquiries as to what disposition
has been made of the national Lincoln monument
fund, it be stated that what remains Of
that fund is now and has been for many years in
charge or United States Treasurer Wyman, and
the papers and accounts connected with the
same are carefully locked up in the Treasury De-
partment. 1t will be remembered that the project
Of erecting national monument in honor of the
martyred President was started in 1867, and an
association formed for advancing the PROJECT, of
which JAS Harlan president, Mr.. Edmunds,
late postmaster, secretary, and General F. E.
Spinner treasurer. The idea was to have the
monument with Lincoln a central figure, sur
rounded by number of prominent Unionists,
Placed at the east front of the Capitol. Contri-
buttons were solicited, and about 81 500 was
collected in ALL The expenses, however, were
correspondingly large, so that i'll 1871 (since
when there has been no increase In receipts or
expendtures) the surplus hand was only
about 81, 500. The fund has been invested and
reinyested since then until it amounts Co nearly
81, 600. The present investments are in District
3.65 bonds. Mr.. Clark Mills, the sculptor de-
signed models for the memorial monument, and
they are said to have been very artistc and
beautiful. For this work he was paid sums of
money at different times, amounting In all to
$4,000. This made pretty big hole in the not
" ~ry well filed treasury. Another heavy drain
!. as the paying out of the association funds for
the clothing lost by the guests at the famous in
augural ball held in the Treasury Department
in 1869. The receipts signed by those who lost
their coats and wraps at this ball show that the
EXPENSE to the association for lost clothing
alone was 81 ,397.5 So Other expenses were the
employment of general agents to make col
lectons and their expenses, and the cost of print
ing and engraving. Although General Spinner
was the treasurer, he turned over the care of the
papers and accounts to Mr.. A. U. Wymau, who
still has them in his charge, awaiting some action
of the association.
In the last year two there seems to have
teeD disposition to revive the project new
hoard of trustees has been elected, and Mr.. J.

CIVIL RIGHTS.
The Resolutions Adopted by n Meeting of
Colored Men at Memphis.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. 2.-At a large meeting
of cOlored citizens held tonight, the following
resolutions were adopted:
"Resolved, That we, as a people, do receive
with sincere regret said decision of the Supreme
Court. and we deeply deplore the damaging eff
feet which may result to us as people.
Resolved. That we cali upon the people of
the sovereign State of Tennessee to unite with
us in pettiOning the Legislature TO repeal the
act of 1875 and all other laws discriminating
against us on account of race, color, OF condi-
tion, to the end that we may enjoy the privileges
and immunlties due us as citizens,
"Resolved, That desire that the enjoyment
of these rights and privileges be secured to all
parts of the country and, If necessary that by
an additional amendment TO the constitution Of
the United States they be placed clearly beyond
local agitation or infringement
"ResOlved. That we regard social equality on
the one hand and on the other the civil rights
due to men in common, as totally different
things and we do most earnestly protest against
the ignorant Illogical, and often disingenuous
efforts to cOnfOund these two ideas.
Resolved, That we regard it as of the highest
Importance on our part, and entirely essential
to full possession and enjoyment of all rights of
citizenship, to give all encouragement to the for
the acquisition of intellectual culture and wealth.
"ResO lved. That we gratefully recognize the
strong sense of justice integrity and right prin-
ciple manifested by Judge Harlan in dissenting
from his associates of the Supreme bench"
Addresses were made by Congressman Casey
Young, Supervising Inspector s. S. Gaut, and
others Ex-Congressman VIM. II. Moore wrote a

THE NEW POSTAGE STAMPS.
What They Cost, and How the Bureau of
Printing and Engraving Is Underbid.

What They Cost, and How the Bureau of
Printing and Engraving Is Underbid.
Washington Letter.
How much do you suppose the new stamps
COST the government" I was asked the other
day by Assistant Postmaster-general Hazen
"You don't know, but I'll tell you-just 8 Is
cents thousand. They cost the contractors
more than that. The plates, paper. printing,
perforating and putting the mucilage on is
worth something. But they must be packed
and done up in high priced envelopes. Half the
postoffces do not call for more than 100 stamps
at a ttme but they have TO go through the same
routine as in filling an order of millions for New
York. 1t costs them moro than they get."
"Where is the profit in the cOntract? naturally
asked. Fright here" was the response. ''All
the countries on this continent south of US have
their postage stamps made in this country.
They prefer the concern which supplies our gov
ernment. This is the American Bank Note Com
pany, of New York But they have to pay from
five to ten times the price we pay, and they find
no fault. There's where the profit comes in
from making our stamps. 1t is the only way to
secure these other good contracts. People have
wondered often why the government, with It's
great Bureau of Printing ana Engraving, here
in Washington, is always underbid by outside
parties in the stamp and postal-note contracts.
Perhaps they will see more clearly after read
ing this paragraph"

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-TEe annual report OF
the Paymayter-genera of the Army to the Secre
tary of War, shows the receipts for the last fiscal
year to be $15,49O,31O; disbursements, $1S,-
382,164. Since the last report fifty officers of
the pay department have retired, having at
tanned the age of sixty-four years. One died,
and one was dismissed for the msappropriation
of public funds. Major ]. r, Wasson, the officer
last referred to, was defaulter in the of

General Rochester says no system of accounting
will prevent corrupt official, necessarily
trusted with the custody of funds. from proving
recreant to his trust. The highest end that can
be attained is prompt and speedy detection of
any attempt to tamper with or inappropriate
funds in his keeping. The system now in his

public press to the duplication OF officers pay
