WHAT FRIDAY MAY DISCLOSE
THAT DAY CLOSES UP GREAT
LETTER WHEAT DEAL.
No Excitement Expected In Wheat
Pit, But In Oats Squeeze of Shorts
May Happen.

Chicago, Dec, 26.-Friday, which will
witness the close of the great Letter
deal in wheat on the board of trade,
bids fair to prove a memorable day in
the trade.
No great excitement is expected in
the wheat pit, but in oats a squeeze of
shorts may occur.
The wheat deal of my son has
brought to the farmers of the United
States 10 to Is cents more for their
wheat than if he had not gone into
it, said L. T. Letter today, in talking
of the great battle between Joseph
Letter on the one side and the elevator
companies on the other. My son has
been the benefactor of the agricultural
industries of the country to that ex-
tent. The seller is now debating the
price Of his product, not the purchaser.
Chicago makes the market price of
wheat, not Liverpool And the local
influences which have been so long for
constantly lower prices, have ceased to
control Chicago markets.
The first purchases of wheat by Jos.
Letter were made in July. last at G.
cents. The price for real wheat. such
as the farmer sells, has been between
SO cents and 81 for several days. HIS
makes a total advance since July of
about 50 cents.e
Letter, ST., gives to the ordinary
course of the markets, credit for be-
tween 20 and % cents of the rise. The
remainder he attributes to the sub
stantial support given to prices by Lei
ter, jr., during the last six months.
1t is believed that Mr.. Letter has been
turning a trick on trade in oats, while
everybody was watching wheat. For
weeks the oats pit has been practically
deserted.
Last week there was a disagreeable
surprise to the men who had sold 5000,
600 bushels of oats for December deliv-
cry, when they learned no oats We're
being delivered. Then they awoke to
the fact that in all the Chicago ele-
vators oats measured but $4,000 bush
els of the contracting trade. 1t was
! necessary when the discovery was
made. The price OF oats was then
20ss. On Friday the market closed al
| 225s A cent advance in oats is as good
as or 5 cents in wheat. 1t was toe
| late to rush in a supply to meet the
calls which will be made for the grain
at the close of business on Friday
Those who have not delivered the grain
according to contract viii be called
upon TO settle at the closing price. The
situation has all the elements of q
| squeeze.

BRITISH STEAMER AFIRE.
Forty Hours Unsuccessful Battle
With the Flames.

St Johns. N. F.. Dec. 26-The British
steamer Lamberts Point, Captain Humph-
reys. seven days. from Norfolk. Va, for
Liverpool, with cattle, cotton, grain and
general cargo, has arrived here with her
cotton afira and the ship in a bad state.
On FRIDAY afternoon the fire was dis
covered in the compartment amidShips. 1t
gained Roadway rapidly. Holes We're cut
in the cabin flooring, pipes inserted and
the compartment flooded with steam and
water The captain headed the vessel
for this port and for 40 hours nobody
rested, ali hands battling the ire which
steadily gained, and spread to the fore
compartment.
1t then became necessary to flood this,
which gave the ship a list of II degrees
to the starboard. She met terrible
weather in trying to reach here. Her
sides and deck were almost unbearable
with heat and the provisions We're spoiled
by steam and smoke. The paint is now
peeling off her sides: while gangs of men
are landing the cattle, almost maddened
with heat.
Captain Humphreys admits that he
could not have controlled the fire "a hours
longer. Holes are being cut in her sides
to admit more steam pipes. in the hopa OF
having the fire subdued by Tuesday, when
the cotton will be discharged until the
seat of the fire is reached.
Nearly the entire cargo was damaged.

BRITISH STOCKS MARKET.
Sunday Review of the Finances o.
Threadneedle Street.

London, Dec. 26.-The stringency in the
money market slightly increased last
week The Bank of England did a large
business in bills at 8 per cent and loans
at 31a per cent. A rise in the bank rate
is considered possible. The gold demand
continues strong, but the prevailing dis
count rates are expected to prevent with
drawals for the continent and the United
States. On the stock exchange business
was poor and the tendency downward.
Consols were sold in order to obtain
money, but there was little movement in
other first-class stocks. There was much
selling in Chinese and Japanese bonds.
The latter dropped 2113 points and silver
loan ora-half of a point. Home railways
were lower on dividended estimates.
American railway securities were steady,
the only feature being a rise of IA point
in Central Pacific shares.
Canadian railway shares showed a. re-
lapse on the poor traffic returns, Canadian
Pacific falling u point; Crank Trunk

Argentine railway securities also de-
clined on the disappointing traffic re-
turns.

Tho popular K.thetles OF Color.

While blue is pre- cminently and over
whelmingly the masculine favorite, it
is by no means so general a feminine
favorite. The favorite woman's color,
standing at the head of the female list,
is red. Roughly speaking, of every 80
masculine votes 10 would be for blue
and for red, while of every 30 femi-
nine votes would be for blue and for
red. Red and blue are thus much moro
nearly equally popular among women
than among men, Other relatively
marked masculine preferences are for
the colors related to blue (blue violet
and violet, and other feminine prefer
ences are for lighter red Tor pink and, to
less extent, for green and yellow,
Further men confine their selections to
relatively fewer colors than do women,
and, finally, while all men and women
alike are much more apt to choose n
normal than transitional color and a
darker than lighter shade, yet the tend.
ency to do so (about the same in the
former direction) is markedly different
in the latter respect. OF IL men 10 would
choose among the darker colors and only
Q amang the lighter for the most pleas
ing color, while Of l2 women 7 would
choose among the darker and among
the lighter shades, Professor Jastrow

the center Of the long, narrow room are
set two rows Of whit at first appear to
be old fashioned dressing tables. They
are hardly that, however, but are in
stead the most improved incubators, and
each one is constantly filed with high
grade eggs in more or less advanced
stage Of incubation.
AZ soon as the tiny puff ball.like
chicks emerge from the shells, be they
ducks or geese or chickens, they are re-
moved from the incubator and placed
III another house, well lighted and scru-
pulously clean. Here they are kept for
a few days until they familiarize them
selves with the appearance of the world
outside Of an egg and until there is no
doubt os to their health and strength.
Then they are allowed outside in tho
runs if the season be warm, or if it ia
winter time they are kept in tho house
until springtime.
Each year between the list of Decem-
Der and Jan. 10, competent Judges visit
tho farm and "gcore" all the stock.
When this is completed, such birds as
arc not up to the standard or are dis
qualified by any little mark or imperfoo-
ton are ut once Grated and shipped to
market. Although eggs can be matched
at any time of the year, most of the
eggs are put into the incubator in Feb
ruary, March and April
There are practically two farms in
one Of these big ranches, what is known
as farm No l being devoted principally
to the Matching of eggs and the raising
of fancy poultry. Farm No. 9 is given
up almost exclusively to the raising Of
Peking ducks and Toulouse geese. There
are altogether between S, 600 and {, 900
fowls raised annually ON this farm, and
they are sent all over the earth.

A BIRD CITY.
An Illinois Poultry Farm Where Thou

An Illinois Poultry Farm Where Thou
sands of High Bred Fowls Are Raised.
Near Quincy, Ills, is farm whose
fame is known to poultry fanciers all
over the world 1t is the largest of its
kind and is wonderful place.
Forty-eight acres of land and num-
Der of fine brick buildings are devoted
entirely to the raising of thousands of
high bred chickens, dnoks and geese, of
which $500 were sold last year
This farm for Z years has been send
ing fowls for breeding purposes to all
parts of the world. Only fancy breeds
Of fowls are dealt in.
More time and trouble are spent by the
proprietors in getting proper food and
water for their feathered charges than
are spent by many head of family
with half dozen children to provide
for. Each particular breed of chickens,
ducks or geese has its own houses and
yards. These latter are long runs, fenced
in with wire screenings or neat palings.
Big trees afford shade to the foathered
population and in that portion of tho
farm devoted to the web footed fowls
large artificial ponds and winding brooks
havo been constructed, through which
there is flowing constant stream Of
water.
Each yard or run has its own proper
house so constructed that it can be heat
cd by steam in winter and cooled by
cold air in summer, thus insuring an
even temperature throughout all sea-
sons. Large fields are each season plant
ed with wheat, barley and buokwheat,
and through these the fowls can roam
ct all times, FREQ TO cat all they please
of the tender young green sprouts or of
the fully developed grain.
One peculiar feature of this farm is
that all of the fowls are raised by artifi-
cial means. The incubator house is q
long, low structure, excellently venti-
lated and lighted and kept at an even
temperature throughout the year. Down
