CHICAGO. ILL, Feb. Wheat-BuIls
had the questionable consolation OF
miniature bulge that did not hold to-day.
II was not from lack Of bun news that
the market was suffering, but rather
from the heavy but slightly decreasing
stocks, the exceedingly poor demand
both domestic and foreign, and the bear
ism sentiment, which has assumed the
character of habit. The triftinS ad-
vance came from reported heavy sales
for export at New York yesterday, when
afterwards promised complete Verlilca-
ton ana very fair Clcarances at Boston.

Culties Of navigation at the present sea-
son. BradstTeeJS reported q decrease
in the worlds visible supply Of 2,SSO,O00
bushels, without practically moving
prices. The weakness at the opening
was owing to the heavy receipts in the
Northwestern cars. May wheat opened
from J2i.c. to j2AnJ23SC., sold between
BE. and size, closing at the latter, IA
re. under yesterday. Cash wheat was
duh. without change In quotations.
COrn-Thc ups and downs of corn were
not significant of important trading, but
were merely Coincident with those of
wheat. The opening was rather easy,
strength succeeding, but the weakness
eventually taking possession of the mar
ket. Bradstreets reported a decrease
IN the available stocks OF $4,000 bushels.
May corn opened from 4f3sc. TO 4i14m

4 KICK FOR BOB.
MllWAl KEE COUNTY BOARD
AFTER LAWYER Fees.


milwaukee,, Jan. l. The county
board of this county will do some
healthy kicking over the magnitude
OF The bill charged by Robert NJ. La
Toilette in the l\orting bank ease.
Practically nothing is done yet In the
ease and the cost To the county has
already been enormous. 1t is claimed
that the charS" of $50, $50, and SO per
day. according To the nature of the
work, is excessive and not permissible
under the law. Section tlN of the
general statutes Of Wisconsin is cited
rs against any such charges MS these
made by the Madison attorney. The
section in question provides that the
attorney for any INDECENT prisoner
shall receive only such sum MS the
court shall by an order certify TO be
reasonable and which sum shall in
no case exceed So per day for each
day actually occupied in such trial.
1t is claimed that this section abSo,
Sutely controls the case Of Mr.. La Fol.
lrttc and that the court has no right
under the law to allow him more than
SO per day.
The ease Of w. c. Williams, called In
by Dodge county to assist the state
in the prosecution of the Cook case,
is cited rs Il case in point. Atty. vii
liams bore the brunt Of this fight lie
made a trip or two TO Washington and
made arguments before the supreme
court. When he put in his bill he
charged on an average about So per
day. Judge Sloan. under the statute
quoted above, cut down his bill to $15
per day. Mr.. Williams disscnted ana
has appealed from the decision of
Judge Sloan to the supreme court.
Dist.-Atty. IIammel claims that the
La Toilette and Williams eases are en-
tirely different. Ills assistant was au-
thoriZed by resolution of the county
board rs additional counsel. The bill
