TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.
Furnished by the Associated Press to
the State Journal

Chicago, Jan. Il
WHEAT-Wheat opened firm today at
907sd34c for May as against yesterday
closing price of 9O1ac. A few sales were
made shortly after at 9O1ac, but the news
was too bullish to permit of any perma-
nent reaction and prices slowly advanced
to 907sc, with limited trading.
CORN AND OATS-Corn and oats were
almost at a standstill, only a narrow
scalping trading being done in those mar
kets. The feeling in the main was steady
with wheat. May corn opened 1sc higher
at 2914c and sold at 291s@14c. Receipts
were POI cars. May oats opened a shade
higher at 2374c and sold at 237sQAc. Re
ceipts were 218 cars.
The feature was the strength shown by
Liverpool, where 1190%d advance was
shown at 1:30 p. m. The Milwaukee &
st. Paul railroads drop of 4 cents in the
flour rate from Minneapolis is expected to
increase the milling demand. A killing
frost was reported at San Francisco.
Later Liverpool cables reported part of
the advance lost, but also said Argentine
offerings were decreasing. Northwestern
receipts were 1854 cars, against 333 cars last
week and2S5 cars. a year ago. Chicago
receipts were At cars.
VISIONS-Provisions were steady
at the opening on the light hog receipts.
There was heavy commission house sell
ing OF all products, but the market, ex-
cept for pork, held fairly well in. spite of
this. May pork opened unchanged at
$9.421a, declined to $9.S21A. reacted to $9.4O
and declined again to 1886. May lard
opened unchanged at $4771A, declined to

SIZE OF PULLMAN ESTATE
Realty Valued at 100000 and Per
sonaIty at S6,SOO,OOO.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-THE executors of
the will of George NJ. Pullman fled to-
day an inventory OF the estate It pla-
ceS a conservative value on everything
the real estate being put down as
worth $500, 900, and the personal prop
eFty, which includes stocks, bonds, etc,
at Sc, 10000 OF the bonds listed $622,-
600 are called giIt-edge, S405 900 doubt
full and $4,000 desperate. New York
and Chicago brokers hold $1,793, 200
worth of stock estimated at its par
counts, loans, etc. The palace car
naagnate had paintings worth $4,000
in his Prairie avenue home, the most
valuable being an oil painting by Tryon
worth 81 900. An oil by Bougereau is
listed at 81 500. The 546 volumes in the
Pullman library are worth 44c each. or
$240. The other contents of the room
are worth $16,239.
These figures only partly represent
the value of the estate. The real in
ventory was a good deal of a surprise.
Although no valuation is placed on the
% pieces of property, a conservative
estimate places the worth thereof at
more than double what it was at
first thought to be. The inVeStme ntS
of Mr.. Pullman are shown to have been
widespread-frOm %, 919 shares of Pull
man Palace Car company stock to
holdings in the Nicaragua Canal com
pany, amounting to $500 in stock and
$4,000 in bonds. The holdings of poor
securities are small, and in connection
with them there is not infreQuently a
suggestion of the investor having lent
a hand to a struggling friend or some
public enterprise. Mr.. Pullman was in
tereSted in several publications to a
small extent, holding stock in Kate
Fields Washington, the Journal of
Commerce and the Weekly Magazine
The estate is worth more than So
363,O92, according to present figures of
the stock market. A partial list of the
stock foots up $5S23, ia, and the real
estate $1,000 900. These are the largest
items in the list. 1t is believed the es-
tate will easily exceed $4,000 coo.

WINTER TOO WARM.
a Firm Dealing in sIeighs Fails at St.
Paul, MINI.

ST Paul. Mimi, Jan. 14.-Grisham &
winch, IN the carriage and sleigh bust
ness, failed this week, and VIM. Will
Jams was made assignee.
The impression was that the firm had
assets amounting to at least $50 900. Mr..
W IlllaInS, however, reported without
delay that the assets would not exceed
$4,000, and that the partners, according
to their statements, had no personal
estate whatever.
Francis L. Winch formerly a wealthy
resident of Chicago, was summoned be-
fore the court on the affidavit of Mr.
Williams that he had concealed $50, 900
worth of personal property. He was
confronted with his own typewriter
statement, showing $5000O of assets in
April, 1898.
He admits that in 1898 he was worth
$4,000 in mortgages and cash, which
he had received from his guardian, Mr..
John 5. Newbury of Chicago.
He claimed that he had lost it all
He had discounted the mortgages at a
sacrifice to get cash, had taken a trip
to Europe and lived freely, maintaining
horses and servants at his home in
SacO, Maine, where he had a Sc, 600
house which was afterwards mOrtga g
ed for all that it was worth.
He invested $4,000 in the BiddefOrd
Times of BiddefOrd, Maine, and had
owned the Old Orchard Sea Shell, a
sea shore publication, and had lost the
investments. He had put $50, 900 in to
the business here in St. Paul.
When he made the statement to R.
G. Dun in October, 1897. that he was
worth $4,000, he considered his business
here worth $40, 0O0 and at that time he
supposed that he was worth as much
in 1898. Mr.. Winch could not tell in
detail what had become of his money
He knew that now his cash assets were
ST. % and that he had no money in
bank. The case was taken under adj

LOWER WAGES NO REMEDY
Opinion Advanced That the Cut Will
Not Help the Textile Situation.

Not Help the Textile Situation.
Boston. Jan. 1.-THE Globe tomorrow
will say:
The cutting down of wages will not
solve the difficulty with which the tex
tile manufacturers now find themselves
confronted, according to the opinions
of men who are regarded as authorities
on textile manufacturing and who have
been brought UP in the cotton business
and have made il a life time study. Re
auctions in ages, they claim, tend to
decrease the demand for the product of
the mills and affect cotton as Well as
other industries.
In support of this the Globe quotes
Robert Howard, long identified with
the cotton industry at Fall River, in
which he says, among other things, that
it is not wise to reduce wages now un-
less the price of cloth is reduced in pro-
portion.
I believe in high wages for the peO-
pie, and if the manufacturers would ad-
vance wages 20 per cent all along the
line, it would soon start every spindle
in the country humming."
When asked how it was possible for
manufacturers in this country to make
their goods cheaper, he said:
The situation in England in many
of the mills is somewhat similar to that
of the south. The operatives run four
looms in England and in the south,
while in Fall River and other New
England cities, they run six to eight
on the same class of work.
Mr.. Howard believes the weavers will
strike in New Bedford and thinks they
ought to receive the support of every
person in the New England states.

CHAMPION CATTLE FEEDER
r. nj. Allen of Ames, Neb., Has TO-
600 Cattle on Feed.

r. NJ. Allen of Ames, Neb., the larg-
est feeder of cattle in the United States
talked to the state board OF, agricu1-
ture on the present situation in beef
cattle. Mr.. Allen is at the head of a
company which now has in sheds and
stalls at Ames, 10000 head of cattle
which are being fed.
Mr.. Allen said: THE small farmer
has made a serious mistake in neg
lecting the production of beef cattle.
They could not of course engage in any
extended business of that character,
but they could assist materially in
holding UP this important branch of
business.
Then again, too often, farmers neg
lect reading and the study of methods
which would prove beneficial to them
and to the state in which they live
Then again, do they refuse to attempt
any new undertakings. They follow
the same lines year after year; they
not only neglect opportunities for their
own betterment, but unconsciously
contribute to the forces which tear
down rather than build up a common
wealth
While I do not believe that all farm
ers can produce beef, yet in my Opin-
ION there are many who could that do
not The beef producing industry
can be easily improved and the farmers
are the very ones who can do it,
Mr Allen is a practical man; a stu
dent of cattle raising; a scientist al
most, and his address was an excellent
one.

KURTZ'S PUNISHMENT.
lie is Expelled From the National
Committee for Opposing Hanna

Washington, D. c., Jan. 14.-One of
the results of the recent senatorial
election in Ohio will probably be the re
tirement from the Republican national
committee of Charles L. Kurtz, the
member from Ohio.
Several members of the committee
are now in Washington, and while no
concerted action has been taken in the
matter, it is known that the opinion of
the committee is unanimous in favor of
eXpelling the Ohio member. and cores
pondence is now in progress looking to
this action.
The sentiment against Kurtz and the
course he pursued in antagonism to
Senator Hanna. who is also the chair
man of the Republican national COM
mittee, is one of intense anger, season
ed with a great deal Of disgust, and the
question of the right of the committee
to expel a member, which has already
been raised, is not deemed worthy of
consideration in connection with the
punishment of the Ohio member.

CABINET MEETING HELD.
Cuban Situation Discussed - Fleet
Sails From Hampton Roads
SATURDAY.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 14-Assistant Sec
rotary Day came over to the White
House from the state department be-
fore the cabinet meeting and left tel
egram that had been received from
Consul General Lee. 1t was sent from
Havana during the middle hours of the
night and while it reported the exis-
tence there of much excitement and
chronicled the attacks on the newspa-
per offices in continuation of those OF
the day before and participation of
some soldiers in the demonstrations, it
was said to convey an assurance OF
peace and quiet.
When the cabinet met at IL o'clock
this dispatch formed the basis of a
short discussion. The memb ers of the
cabinet professed to feel satisfied with
the situation. The senate resolution
calling for information as to what had
been done by the president to safeguard
American interests in Havana during
the period of rioting was received from
the state department and also briefly
talked over with a view to determine
the nature of the reply to be made.
The main subject under consideration
before the cabinet, however, it is de-
clared was the prospects of the HaWa-
iian annexation treaty.
The north Atlantic squadron which
has been gathering at Hampton Roads
is to sail southwark tomorrow. Lest
there should be a misunderstanding
of the purpose of the cruise, which has
already been described in the orders as
one of evolution and drill, planned
many months ago, the OfUefS under
which the vessels will proceed have
been made public and taken in connec-
ton with the departments orders to
Admiral Sicard, the navy department
says, show that the sQuadron's move
ments have no reference to Cuba.
Gen. Lees cablegram it is also
learned stated that While he did net see
any indications of the resumption of
the riots yet in view of the inf1ammable
situation in Havana he believed there
might be further trouble. He added
that he did not anticipate another out
break, but yet would not be surprised
at one. None of the disturbance he re-
ported, had been directed against the
United States, or American citizens.
The cabinet discussion showed that the
president while decided not to send a
warship to Cuba at present, does pro-
pose keeping one or more vessels with
in a reasonable distance of Havana,
so that one of our ships may reach
there within six hours in the event of
a sudden call for its presence from
Gen. Lee.

rounding states, has caused an increase
of interest which viii bring thousands
of people from the eastern states to the
exposition.
"A year ago its prospects were not
bright Today the management IS en-
couraged and is confident that it VIII

in fact everybody, has pledged support
to the project and the prospects are
very bright.
