easy at 2 per cent. Prime mercantile paper.
4@6S4. Sterling exchange active and firm at
S4.s6 for sixty-day bills and $3.50 for de-
mand. The stock market was still less act
i've to-day and the dealings were even more
than usual of late, devoid of special feature.
The reduction in the bank of England's rate
of discount with continued ease of money,
both here and abroad, gave the foreigners
renewed confidence this morning and they
took some lots of stocks here ana gave for
the time being better tone TO the To-
cal market than was seen yesterday.
The local operators were waiting for
news from the presidents meeting at.
Chicago, however, and in the meantime the
bears as usual seized the opportunity to
make demonstration against the list and es-
pecially the coaiers and Union Pacific and
aid was received from Chicago in the shape
OF pressure to sell the grangers. The de-
preston caused by these efforts was not in
proportion to the amount or work done, the
declines established being confined to small
fractions in every case. The poor success
led to a covering movement late in the day,
and the losses were about recovered before
the close. A few stocks showed marked
strength, among which Wheeling d Lake
Erie was more prominent, the buying being
attributed to insiders. Pullman opened up
1I2 per cent on the rumor that the agreement
had been signed by which the company gains
control of the Union company, but the report
was stated to be premature and the stock re-
acted. 1t was not until after the close of
business that the official statement to that
effect was put out. Rock Island and st. Paul
preferred were the only stocks in which
there was any marked impression made by
the bears, each losing over point, although
both recovered handsomely toward the close.
First prices were firm to strong and the adj
vances over last evenings figures extended
to 30 per cent and further slight gains were
generally made. though only Wheeling and

South St. Paul.


Further reductions in the prices of pro-
visions and live stock at Chicago were notice
able yesterday. They have continued, in
line with the bear movements inaugurated in
September, since which time pork has de-
clined to S12 10 for May and hogs are about
So per 100 lbs lower. Prices here yesterday
"a 6O14.7O for hogs-were relatively bet
ter than other markets for shippers from the
district tributary to ST. Paul. Shipments
have been checked to considerable extent
by the course of the markets, and farmers
are disposed to hold back their stock. The
closing of the Sioux City house OF R. D.
Fowler is looked upon by ST. Paul stock
Yards men as a transitOry result of the sale
OF that packing establishment TO George
Fowler, and that the conditions there will in
no wise affect the operations OF the South ST.
Paul plant, in which r. d. Fowler is inter-
ested together with leading st. Paul men.
Acting President Du Puy, of the st. Paul
Union stock yards, said yesterday that prices
here are within about 15c of those of Chi
cago, and but for the bearish tone of that
market the packers would be stronger in
their views, The ST. Paul packers find good
local markets for their products and are not
as dependent upon Eastern boards of trade
as many suppose. The winter packing sea-
son is drawing 10 close, and more favor
able turn is probable. The commission men.
who are now making an effort to increase
their business, are pursuing wise course at
this juncture of the live stock business.

The disposition was to sell wheat all the
morning, and as one broker SAID, every one
that was long q few days ago was now short
Or trying hard to get SO. There were offer
ings at 81 .O2, and a few trades at that to
begin with. Then the buying spirit took the
lead and the market went to $1.G2S4, with
good trading, then fell back to $1.O2A. and
advanced again to ST. .O3la, with good buying
demand. Reports from other places were
uncertain and prices alternating between
weakness and strength. There was rain in
parts of the winter wheat region. extending
through Western New York and Pennsylva-
MIA, Southern Illinois, Georgia, Virginia and
Tennessee. That caused talk of what the
possible result may be to winter wheat.
James Marshall was buyer during the day,
and Hooker bought considerable, but at sew
eral times was also seller. Wheeler was sell
ing little, and Gregory was on both sides of
the market. Some of the millers known to
be long were adding to their string, and
others that are carrying light loads picked up
some May wheat, because they evidently
thought it was cheap. Commission men
who have long customers did little, and it
was believed most of the country buyers are
shaken out. The elevator men, as rule. did
nothing in futures.
Wheat opened at 81. 02 for May and sold
up to $1.O2a4. back to SLOPE, and up to
ST .O3s4 before l o'clock. There was good
trading during much of the session, and it
was quite easy to buy or sell at the current
nguTeS. Inc nrSt SAFE was the low point Oh
the day. The demand for cash wheat was
not good, but that did not appear to check
the current Of buying of futures as much as
is usual. There was little news to influence
prices. but much gossip. 1t was reported
raining in much of the winter wheat country.
In New York there was said to be a better
foreign demand. The closing was steady at
a fraction below the top for the day. with
good demand: 10000 blu May wheat sold at

fellows getting work it seemed to be an
answer to a letter sent from some I'M
fortunate young fellow to you, and in it
you said that young man could always
get work in this town, if ne was not par
ticular what he did. Now | am not par
tlcular what | do, and there are humid
reds like myself, walking around town
without anything to do and very little
money. 1t is getting pretty tough with
most of us; our room rent has been
stood off now for considerable time,
but now the prOprietors are coming for
ward with their long bills for rent and
fuel. What are we to do? That we cannot
get work at anything. not even for our
board alone, is pretty rough on fellow
of twenty-One to twenty-seven. He
wears clothes in the winter that have to
be paid for, and room rent is dearer all
through. How is it in this country.
wages 60 down in in winter, the very
time when expenses rise? / should like
to know where these places are, where
there is plenty of work. l should like
to try my luck at getting job there. If
you can afford time and room to put an
answer to this question in your val
liable paper, you will greatly Oblige not
only me, but hundreds of other willing
hands, that hang around the Union
depot and walk from morning till night
about the streets of st. Paul. Please
excuse the liberty l take in writing to
you. Il. A. EMsLEY.

They all know what they asked for flour
when people used it; but since corn dodgers,

flour, bread making has become a lost art and

tween Australia and England.
The following is taken from the Live
Stock Journal, London: 1.-THE repre-
sentative of firm of meat importers
in London has recently had an
interview with the minister of mines
in New South Wales, with the view
of extending the frozen mutton trade.
He pointed out that up to the present
the major part of the frozen meat
trade had been carried on with New
Zealand, which last year sent to Lon
don 766.4l7 sheep, as against SSH for
Warded from the Australian continent.
1t was stated if encouragement were
given the firm he represented could
take from Australia at least 10000 car
cases per month, which, if proper
Strengthening stations, chill-rOomS and
railway appliances were provided, would
amply pay the stock raiSers. What was
required to develop the trade and make
it source of revenue to the colony
was the establishment of inland depOtS
where the meat could be slaughtered
and stored ready for transmission to
the coast. The expense of carriage to
England, including cost of landing and
selling, would not be more than from
I'd to 211Sd per pound, and if it realized
not lower than i'd per pound it would
be satisfactory to the shippers. The
minister of mines said that in the col
Ony there were at the present time over
50,000,0 900 sheep. and no doubt an I'M
mense number might be utilized with
profit for export"

it is not the immediate demand of the
single tax advocates. But they are not
simply tax reformers," seeking to pare
off little here and pile on little there,
to separate the creations of capital and
of laborin the effort to equaliZe their
burdens.
The advocates of the single tax ask
only that all of the revenue necessary
to carry on the public business shall be
drawn from that fund of wealth which
is the creation of the entire population,
which no private individual can create
and which, were absolute justice
done, 10 one should be allowed
to put into his private pocket.
This is the "single tax limited'' doc
trine, now urged here; simply that the
taxes now raised by such hOdge-podge
of assessments, with their accompany
ing frauds and lies, shall be assessed
upon thing, known and used of all
men, land values OF ground rent. This
would check speculation, but would
still leave margin for buying and sell
ing land with profit.
This is the doctrine of Henry George.
as far as it goes, but he will never be
satisfied till the whole rent of the land
is taken by the whole people and used
for public Dement'S, making the WnOle
people richer in commonwealth, water,
light, heat. transportation, education,
art, muslc-whatever ought to be within
the reach of all and can be covered by
such appropriation of the common fund.
This is the unlimited single tax doctrine,
absurdly decried as the ''contiscation of
land" though it does not propose to take
foot of land from any one who chooses
to hold on and pay the public for the
value they add to the land lie holds.
No doubt by this change many would
be incovenienced and disappointed in
theiJ expectations of wealth from the
land they hold, but no doubt many
more are worse Inconvenience by the
present methods of taxation. 1t is safe
to IDEAL Justly and love mercy'' in both
public and private business.
