Ups AND DOWNS OF WHEAT.
Fluctuations Disappoint Alike Bull
and Bear Operators

Chicago, Jan. 15.-The fluctuations of
the wheat market the past week have
been narrow and disappointing, both
to the bull and bear interests. The
weakness in foreign markets, due to re-
ported heavy offerings from Argentine.
stimulated a bearish sentiment among
a majority of local operators.
Many of the most prominent traders,
however outside of the clique, are still
very bullish. Primary receipts, though
still heavier than a year ago, show a
material decrease and will continue TO
lessen from this on. Indications are
for heavy demand for milling and ex-
Fort. The so-called clique holdings are
still intact.

oouNTY DIVISION

There seems TO be a unanimous dis.
positioa throughout the territory To-
ward the division Of the extremely
large counties. This is right and
proper. Take our own county, for in
stance, reaching two-thirds OF the dis
tance across the territory from cast to
west with settlements along the ex.
treme western border, and along the
Rio Graude and adjacent mountains.
with strip of county eighty miles
wide with only here aud there ranch
between the settled portions Of The
county. The people of the western
part OF the county have long been
anxious for division and have made
one or two faint but Intellectual efforts
toward that end, while the people OF
the. eastern side have strenously op-
posed the division. When We come
TO look at this matter in an unbiased
logical manner II viii be seen that
sWallercounties are fur preferable to
such extremely large cues; the ex-
pense Of goyernmentisg greatly reduced
in various ways, taxes are easier to colt
lect and more cheerfully paid and the
tax payers receive more direct benefit
from them.
In extremely large couuties. like
Socorro, Bernallllo Grant, and Lin
coln,, the court expenses are something
prodigious, in these counties, especial
ly in Socorro, and Bernalillo. While
the inconveriance to people who have
to attend court and county affairs at
the county seat is distressing.
