GRAIN TRADE AND CROPS.
The Cincinnati Price-Current of lal
Thursdav savs.-

The Cincinnati Price-Current of last
Thursday says
The week has been attended with
of freezing and OF rain, ana
in western and northwestern local!tles
considerable of snow, which condltlons
have interfered with the handling OF
corn, retarding cribbing operations, as
well as serving to curtail the movement
of this and other grain for Shipment.
Sentiment among holders OF grain IN
the interior appears to nave assumed
more of confidence. The SITUATION
with reference to wheat supplies is not
presented in any new light, the oHer-
| ings being almost uniformly OF very re-
stricted proportions
| The growing wheat maintains It's ex
cellent position generally. Some OF
the late seeding is backward in growth,
but this has little of significance at this
time. for the possibilities are on the
side of favorable results.
In the wheat markets prices have
been carried higher than previously
since the early part of 1882, with sales
at Chicago of spot No. 2 red winter al
90 cents, although No. 2 spring is near
lly 10 cents lower, this grade being II
abundant supply in that market, while
No 2 winter is in very small supply.
No. red winter wheat sold here a
Cincinnati at 80 cents.
: From the highest position OF tint
| wheat market on Tuesday there wa
: some reaction on yesterday. and tn
trade seems to anticipate further ten
3 dency to easiness, but there is mucl
in the general situation to encourag
3 maintenance of strength in the mar
+. kets, Notwithstanding the great ao
vance that has been effected. Reac
lions are natural, but the general out
, look encourages confidence in the sit
uation. Should India and news OF sur
a stantial rains there might be a ten
= porary weakening in the markets:
December wheat at Chicago close
21c below the highest point OF tn
!. week, 54c above the lowest point, an
21c higher than week ago.
Corn at Chicago for December close
! &c below the highest point OF the weef
i 5c above the lowest point OF tn
r. week, and 1c higher than week ago
! Wheat receipts at primary marker
were 5,751 900 bushels for the wee
against 7,733, 900 the preceding weei
Il and 9,734 900 last year.
20 Corn receipts were 1856, 600 bushei

Our watches are the cashiers of times

THE LICENSE ACT DISCUSSED.
The Fee for Notaries and Loan Agents
Too High.


EDITOR BULLETIN: - The pro-
posed new license law contains
many silly clauses. Notaries pub
lie, for instance, make, in many
cases, a merely nominal sum, and,
as the law sets their fee rate, they
cannot increase their earnings by
a raise in prices. Therefore they
are handicapped by such a bill
and have absolutely no recourse.
Again, loan agents are, general
ly speaking, in the business in q
very small way and, inasmuch as
they are of great and material
benefit to the small borrower, on
short time loans especially, it is
unjust to require them to pay
such an outrageous sum as $3.50
per annum. If the law were en-
forced, the burden would fall up.

loaner. The interest rate would

measure.

her paper with this reflective query: IF war were
ever tolerabe. why not to-day az when It was

be toerated?' Miss Morrison then proceeded to
discuss her subject beginning at time about 800
years before the height of the Roman When
she had down to modern times, she brought
I'D arbitration. In the discussion which followed
the young women sat down very decidedly upon the
arbitration idea and came to the conclusion that In
a difference OF opinion between nations a resort to
firearms more tolerable. But later the drift
o feminine opinion again changed. and the
sensus OF thought was that peace. after all. Is
much preferable 10 anything which pertains TO

DEPARTMENT PAYROLL DELAY DISCUSSED.
Justice Clement of the Supreme Court, yesterday
afternoon reserved his decision on the application
Of Adolph Slmls for a mandanus TO compel County
Treasurer Taylor to pay John ii. Burt.s, treas
urer OF the Department OF Charities and Correction
the money due the employees Of the department on
their January payroll. Although the men have done
the work as usual the clash In opinion OF the vari-
Gus department officials has far acted as barrier
TO the payment Of the money. Ii was suggessed
during the argument yesterday that an arrangement
be made by which the might get their money
as many OF them needed it. The Corporation Coun-
sci said that he would confer with those in authority
nd had little doubt that the money would be FORTH
coming IL was understood that such an arransS
ment II made. not in any way 10 preJudies
either side as the questions involved In the pro-
ceeding at bar. The claim Is made by the Controhes
and CITY Treasurer that. under the city charter aha
the provisions OF the annexation law, the Depart
ment OF Charities and Correction now comes uhues
the head and control OF the city government, ana
that consequently the Controller Is the only person
who has the right TO pay salaries ana discharss
supervision over the r ancial affairs OF the depart
men But Mr.. Sims argued at length that tns
partment was an Independent enc just as the Boacd
OF Education. He maintained that the commissions
ers OF Charities and Correction had the sole ara eS
elusive right only to superintend the WORKING OF
the Department, but TO pay all salaries. MT Burr
contended that II perfectly plain that the an
nexaton laws Destroyed the independence OF the
Commissioners and that they were now. and tLe
Department which they once held authority
subject TO the provisions OF the city charter ana
simply city department.

That ouesiion Is the problem Of an enlarged water

while Mr. White was Commissioner. and on the eve

reports OF the engineers conducting the nVestig1-
ton with comment of his own. Mr.. Willis. although
much Of his time has been given ny TO the callers
who have asked for interviews during ONCE hours
has read the reports ard memoranda on the water
supply question. s..
lie told Tribune reporter yesterday afternoon
that from his general reading OF the papers ne mad
been Impressed most favorably by the plan OF
drawing additional water from the Long Island
watershed Engineer DE Varona who investigated
this source estimated that for n supply OF loV'"p
OF gallons {, day the cost from Long Island would
be t23 100000 Mr.. Willis seemed to think that the
Long Island plan would I'm some ways be desirable
because II would be in the line OF extension OF pres

supply from Port Jervis was an Interesting ana I'M
pOrtant
