of northern spring, as high as 21s cents
over July has been paid. The export
demand, however, has been disap-
pointing. Foreigners have not shown
any marked degree of interest and
their purchases have been very unat-
tractive to spectators as an influence
to buy futures.
While the Russian and Danubian
shipments were light week ago they
are expected to show an increase this
week and there seems to be no great
urgency to buy American wheat so
long as our market displays no rally
ing tendency. There has, however
been a fairly good export demand for
-four and large sales for domestic use.
Crop reports are not creating special
interest. Conditions in Ohio have been
raised little and lowered in Missouri
with very favorable advices from the
, southwest, where the harvest is now
under way. The government report on
the 10th, will include the condition of
spring wheat, and as this is the first
report of the year on this grade it is
being awaited with considerable inter-
est.
There has been firmer feeling mani
tested in corn. The cold weather is
bringing many reports from the corn
belt of the backward state of the
growing crop and the thin manner in
which it is coming up, which causes a
state of nervousness among shorts
and encourages buying on account of
the extremely lower price.
Provisions, like wheat, have been
weak. Holders have liquidated freely
which with the offerings that came
scattered demand.

crossed by human beings. Above all
other points perhaps in interest, Mount
st. Elias offers longer ascent over
unbrolSen snow fields than any other
mountain outside of the arctic regions.
The line of perpetual snow begins at
5000 feet above the sea, and from that
point on ice axes and heavily nailed
boots and safety ropes are the unavoid-
able accomplishments of the climber.
The mountain itself is Of very wide
extent, and includes q number of sub
ordinate peaks. 1t includes an i'm
mense crater at a high altitude, and
has several times during this century
broken out in volcanic eruptions. On
the southern side, where most Of the
attempts to climb have been made, 1t Is
very precipitous, and the most circuit
GUS routes must be adopted in order tc
make any advance upon it at all. Lo-
San's peak, which is another objective
point of the present expedition, lies
about 20 miles to the northeast of the
greater mountain.
A number of attmepts have been
made to climb Mount st. Elias since il
was first sighted by Boring on st. Elias
day, 1741. The most notable of these
were the New York Times expedition.

ham expedition of experienced Alpine
climbers in 1888, and the two expedi-
tons by the National Geographical so
ciety in the summer of 1890 and 1891
The Topham expedition reached a
height of 11,46o feet after IA days of
perilous climbing from the foothills on
the south side, and the last of these ex.
petitions, under the leadership of L
C. Russell, who is to accompany Prince

Prince Luigi, of Savoy, will not be

PRINCE LUIGPS PLUCK.
Ambitious to Tread the Summit of
Mount st. Elias.
Nephew of King Humbert of Italy Now
on His Way to Alaska, Where He
Hopes to Accomplish n Won
derful Feat.

Some of the bluest blood of Italy is
soon to be pitted against members of
the United States coast survey. The
scene of competition will be Mount st.
Elias, in Alaska, and in addition to some
minor scientific laurels the victor will
gain that greatest of all raptures to
the mountaineer, the knowledge that he
has been the first to tread the summit of
one of the highest and most coveted
peaks in the new world.
Prince Luigi Amadeo, of Savoy, duke
of Abruzzi and nephew of King Hum
bert, is the italian who considers the
ascent of st. Elias worthy of the long
trip from Rome and whole summer of
hardship and exertion. While still a
very young man, he is an experienced
traveller, and doubtless knows good
thing in the way of a mountain when he
sees it. His companions will be Dr..
Paoli vecchi, of San Francisco; Prof.
Fay, former president of the Appala-
chan Mountain club of Boston; Prof.
Davidson and Israel C. Russell, who
has already taken part in two attempts
to scale the mountain, and W. A. Ingra-
ham, of Seattle.
The American party will be under
the leadership of Henry c. Bryant, of
Philadelphia, and will include Samuel
j. Entrikin, who was second in COM
mand of the Perry expedition of 1912,
and E. B. latham, of the coast survey.
1t will have the advantage of an earlier
start than the other parties, since it
has already gone to the Pacific coast.
Mount st. Elias is one of the highest
peaks in America, it's summit being es-
timated at over $4,000 feet above sea
level. 1t lies far from supplies, and the
explorer must carry with him from
Sitka everything that he expects to use.
1t is the center of a great region of
glaciers and rugged mountain spurs,

WISHES WAGES FOR LIFE.
Unique Plan of a Kansas City Man to

Unique Plan of q Kansas City Man to
Secure q Permanent Job.
John w. Henry, judge of division No.
of the jackson county circuit court,
Mo-, has had generations experience
on the bench and at the bar, but some
thing new in lawsuit was sprung on
him the other day. William Sevedge
is suing Fairbanks, Morse & Co., at
Kansas City for $2.25 per day for the
term of his natural life. This is said
to be the first suit of the kind ever
brought. 1t all came about in this way:
Sevedge went to work for the COM
pany in February. 1898, one bright,
crisp Monday morning. On the follow
ing Saturday, about noon, he was hurt
by the fall of an elevator and claims
to have sustained rupture. He waived
all damages as result of the accident
in consideration of being employed at
$2.25 q day until he was fully recov-
cred.
Here is where the claim for wages
during his lifetime comes in. Mr.. Sew
edge claims that his injury is perma-
}nent, and consequently he will never
recover during the term of his natural
life. He therefore contends that he
should be paid wages until he is fully
recovered, as per his contract.
Sevedge worked for the company for
three years, and then their relations
ceased when his wages were cut to
SITS per day. He claims he was dis
charged, while the company claims he
quit of his own volition. Sevedge is also
suing for $1,999.9o damages for the in
juries he received in the elevator acct.
