The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1894-08-10

A Kansas City 1rm reports having
sold No. hard winter at 81 at the
Mississippi, with corresponding grade
of corn at sic. If all grain is to get
down to a feeding basis the extra
pounds in a wheat bushel will cut no
jnconsiderable figure. Corn, cat; and
wheat are all now selling on the
market at prices which represent
about SIS ton. To sell on exactly
this basis the respective quotations
would stand 5l."c, 2S.Sc, and SIC re-
ably cheaper per ton than the coarse
grains. Just where the disparity
between the corn and wheat prices lie
is, of course, where the difference Of
opinion comes in. There are any
amount OF people who still in
sist that good rain would break
the back Of the corn market, who think
that the weather noted Is not essenti-
ally different from year ago, and who
look for a good average crop in face OF
past reports. Those who { ssume that
serious corn damage has been done and
that the crop will be short all around
can scarcely give h gicll reason why
wheat should be going at the lowest
prices ever known. Any general use
of wheat TO make up for corn shortage
will introduce an element which will
upset all revious calculations as TO de-
mand and supply. Wheat feeding has
passed out of the experimental stages
in many sections. A corn famine and
consequent consumption of lower
grades of wheat might temporarily
take the United States out of the list
OF wheat exporting countries.
Little Old Corn on Hand.
The poor crops OF the la two years
have reduced the amount of old corn
on hand, until there remains but little
on the market. The advance in corn
has led many board members to sell
wheat and TO invest in May corn, an
almost unprecedented proceeding. The
following tables show the prices OF
grain now compared with those of a
year ago. The closing prices of ca h
wheat and corn on Monday in New
York, Chicago, and st Louis were:

Chinese navy. Their loss will seriously
cripple China on the water and materi-
ally increase Japan's advantage. A
harder blow could hard have been
dealt China in single battle than the
destruction of their two cruisers and
the big warship Chin-Yuen. The loss
OF life is Insignificant compared to it,
although that was severe for naval
battle.
The Chen Yuen was a battle-ship OF
6,400 tons displace nent, carrying IA
inches compound armor at the water
line. Her battery included four L.
inch guns, protected by an armor
breastwork, and two smaller Krupps.
She was also furnished with eleven
Hotchkiss cannon and tubes for White
head torpedoes. In addition, the Chen.
Yuen had two Si-inch and 6-inch
Krupps in her main battery and a Sec
ondary battery OF Hotchkiss revolving
cannon. The Chen Yuen was built for
China at the Stettin Works. She was
a sister ship of the Ting Yuen and was
the most powerful warship in the
chinese navy with the exception OF
,ing-Yuen.

KEEP SUGAR DOWN..
Advance Follows on the Heels
Of the Opening Raid.
Dealings Lacked Spirit and There
Was Little Fluctuation.

Brokers and spectators found little
to do when they reached the Stock Elk
change this morning. There was a
perfect dearth of news. and no induce
ment to branch out in any direction.
The pools In Chicago Gas and Sugar
were the only ones that showed the
least disposition to move their special
ties, and the traders confined themselves
quarters in these stocks. At the start
a raid was made on sugar, and the
as soon as the shorts attempted to

The rally was assisted by the strength
show by Chicago Gas, which advanced

STOCKHOLDERS WERE ANGRY.
Pacific Mail Annual Report Too
General to Suit Them.
Huntington's Absence
Aroused the Ire OF Two Men.

The forty-seventh annual meeting OF
the stockholders OF the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company was held at their
offices In he Mills Building to-day.
Two stockholders took occasion to crit
lcise President Coils p. H~untington's
absence, n protested against the adop-
ton of a summarized annual report.
Joseph Richardson presided. Secretary
Lane offered In place OF the regular
printed annual report, containing full
details. a ,ypewritten statement of the
condition Of the Company. While 1t
furnished figures 1t did not give the ex-
penses and earnings in a wav that was
satisfactory to all stockholders. When
Elias Hart moved that 1t be adopted, ].
F. Greenough said:
mo! No! Why is not President Hunt
ington here? l want to ask him some
questions. This is the only time Of year
that the stockholders have a chanc to
get in a word. He is a salaried official
and he ought to be present, especially
when he is In the city"
1T is very extraordinary that Presi,
dent Huntington is not here" chimed
in Jacob Fl~eischhaur.
This report does not show very accu-
rate management continued MIR.
Greenough, in an angry tone.
And l object very much to Its adop-
tion." broke in Mr.. Fleischhaur.
When remarks were made concern
ing the indefinite nature of expense
items. the secretary called attention TO
a note attached to the typewriter
report. The note stated that the an
nual meeting had followed so closely
upon the earliest date on which com
plete returns In regard to transactions
could be obtained, that n detailed and
printed report could not be prepared in
time for the annual meeting. Only a
general summary Of the years opera
lions had been prepared. to be followed
by a printed report in two or three
weeks.
1t was finally voted to lay the report
on the table for consideration at some
future date.
The earnings n expenses for the
year ending April 30, 1894. were: Total
receipts. So, 1874. 092. SO; total expenses, So,
1853. G31. OF; receipts over expenses. $475,
461 81. The report showed IL decrease in
the gross earnings of $2S4, 3Sl. 05 compared
with the previous year, and a decrease
earnings this yea S475, 46l. 81. against a
deficit of $50, 740.6S In the previous year.
The decrease in the gross earnings is
attributed to the discontinuance OF the
operation of the steamships running be-
tween New York and A~spinwall.
