Chicago Change.


 Chicago, Jan. 9.-No particular strength existed in wheat today; in fact the feeling was barely steady at an average advance of 1ac oyer yesterdays. close; May wheat opened from 819sc to S1Sc declined to S11sc, closing at S112c-1aQD9sc higher than yester- day. Cash wheat was firm and 1ac higher.
 Corn was firm early. taking it's incentive from the advance in wheat and from the heavy clearances from both coasts for the week, 4s19,000 bushels. These exports are the largest on record and go far to confirm the theory that corn is being used a sub stitute for wheat in a great many instances. May corn opened at %, declined to 243s@2iac, closing at 24%-Ac under yesterday. Cash corn was 14c lower.
 Oats--The better wheat and corn markets aided in producing firmness at the opening Though trade was light there was never theless moderately good local business.

Lard was relatively 1irmer than either pork or ribs Trading was quite. active.

Financial.

New York, Jan 9.-The New York Finan- cier says this week:
 The statement issued by the clearing house. banks of New York city for the week end ing Jan. is a more effective argument in favor of an immediate low money market than columns of theoretical discussion. The enormous increases in deposits and in cash holdings have been equalled only once, and that was for the week ending Nov 14, suc- oeeding election. The total expanison in deposits for the past week was S17, ,253, 200 and the gain in cash holdings s15,017, ,S00 These exceptional gans it is needless to say were the results of the January dividend pay ments, the continued flow of money to this center and the large increase in savings deposits.
 As there is no outlet for this money, the usual winter gold exports having been postponed the total cash gain appears much larger than during any previous year. The expansion of deposits, unaccompanied by an increase in loans, as is usually the case, also shows clearly the source of the accum- ulaton and the result of the weeks opera tions has been to increase by Sl0,704, 300 the idle cash in the New York banks, bring the total excess reserve up to S43. 991, ,450, which is larger than for two years past. It is only logical, therefore to look for a con tinued low money market and higner rates for foreign exchange, the conditions fa- voring both circumstances, It was from almost similar causes that the large sterling loans were made in this market recently, and if money rates abroad go higher as appears probable some interesting develop ments may be expected to result The large gains reported for the current week were foreshadowed in this analysis not long since, but the very great increases have surpassed all expectations and it be- comes interesting, therefore, to watch how the banks will endeavor to employ some of their surplus funds, and whether Europe will not endeavor to benefit through the op- portunity presented

A WOman'S

The most remarkable scene that was
ever witnessed in a glove contest was the
way Mrs. F~itzsimmons acted as Director
General of the big fight.
She was behind her husbands corner
and as a matter of fact directed the contest
from start to finish. She told him when
to rush his man and when to retire. when
to box cautiously and when to land heavy.
She seemed to measure every motion of
Corbett'S, devised mis- intentions and
warned her husband of them. She had
more knowledge of ring generalship thar
all the seconds together. Fitzsimmons
can thank his wife for the victory of Wed
nesdav, and he lesson of it is tina no
man knows so much about any particular
thing that his wife cannot be his guide.

Bob Called The Turn.

Bob Davis, who was with Fitzsimmons
for the New York Journal, during his
stay here, was alwa,sa firm believer in
the capacity of Fitzsimmons 10 win the
fight. He several times prognosticated
ings and some Of his prophecies excited
no end of merriment on newspaper row,
as they were in direct variance with the
estimates made by men supposed to be the
best judges of sporting form in he land.
But Mr.. Davis being constantly with
Fitzsimmons had the best possible oppor-
tunitv TO size up the coming champion
and that he made the best use of his Op-
portunitv, is shown by the result, which
fully verified his statement, and proves
him to be an excellent Judge of athletes.
He also wrote all of the letters signed
by Fitzsimmons. At first it was arranged
that the literary Bob would write the
articles and leave them where the pugil-
istic Bob could copy them, but the
trainers and wrestlers were all on anc
joked Fitz so much about his literary en-.
denotes that he no longer bothered to con
ccal The fact that the Journal man did al
his work for him and they had man
a good laugh over it.
After the mill he received a handsome
offer TO travel with Fitz and Julian but h.
declined it on the ground hat the goo,

CUSTOMARY BONUS
Is Asked for to Establish Shoe Fac.
tory in Topeka

H. w. Neiswanger of the CONNER
cial club, who has been in correspond
ence with j. E. Crosby of Tapleyville
Mass, with reference to the establish
ment of a shoe factory in Topeka, has
received the following definite propo-
sition from that gentleman:
Proposition of j. E. Crosby from
Tapleyville, Mass, to establish a shoe
factory in the city of Topeka, Kan, to
employ not less than one hundred and
fifty people:
'tFirst-In consideration of the peo-
pie of the city of Topeka, Kan, taking
$4,000 worth Of stock in said factory
said Crosby will ship machinery and
point and begin operations.
''Second-That all officers of the said
company shall be people of the city of
Topeka, including the said Mr.. Crosby.
''Third-That one-half of the said To-
peka stock shall be paid off before
there shall be any dividends paid on
the stock held by ]. E. Crosby, after
which all stock shall declare dividends
alike"
Mr.. Neiswanger said today that he is
expecting a letter from Mr.. Crosby
within few days in reply to one he
has written asking for a modification of
the proposition. Topeka people are
afraid of stock company schemes be-
cause they have been bitten so often,
and it is possible that the Commercial
club can agree with Mr.. Crosby on
some other basis.
will never give a cent to any factory
that is built outside of town. They have
all the places to dance in that they
want.

Santa Fe Pleased With Flee
tric Headlights.
The One in Use on Engine 472
Gives Satisfaction.
CAN BE SEEN 6 MILES.
Cost of Maintaining the Light
is Very Small.
To Have All Passenger Engines
So Equipped Soon.

It is probable that by the first of next
year all of the engines in night passen-
ger service on the Santa Fee railway
proper will be equipped with electric
headlights. This equipment, together
with the new signal block system which
is being put in on ITS miles of the track
in Kansas this month, will render the
more common railway accidents prac-
tically impossible.
The electric headlight purchased
some time ago and placed on engine
472 as an experiment, is working salts
factorily, and it has been found that
the cost of maintaining the light is
small. On a straight track the head
light can be seen at a distance of six
miles, and the light is sufficiently
strong for the engineer to see another
train or any object on the track fully
a half mile ahead. In the glare of the
headlight a newspaper can be easily
read a distance of three blocks.
Engine 472 is now running between
Topeka and st. joe. and every night
crowds of people assemble at the sta
lions along the line to view the head
light. At Atchison practically the en-
tire town turns out every night about
the time of the arrival of the Santa Fee
train.
The officials are well pleased with the
working of the headlight, and it is
probable that all night passenger trains
will be similarly equipped by the first
of the year.
