THE WHEAT MARKET.
Took a Strong Upward Turn for January
and May.

CHICAGO, Jan. 31.-The wheat
market last week showed all the ele-
ments of a bull campaign. Prices rose
sharply and Saturday reached the
highest point yet touched for this sea-
sons crop. Inc feature of the market
was the advance in January wheat I'M
der Letter manipulation from 94s
cents to S1.10. Partly from this and
partly from the remarkable strength
of foreign markets May and July, es-
pecially the former, ruled strong and
advanced sharply. A reduction of 1913
cents per bushel in the Italian grain
duty and strong Liverpool cables
caused a general advance early Mon
day. Late in the day news Of the or
dering of the United States cruiser
Maine to Havana caused a scramble
shorts and prices touched the
highest point since December 81. On
Tuesday, January was bid up from
943s cents to S1.00, by the Letter crowd
in order, it is said, to advance the
price of May. The same tactics were
used again on Wednesday and with
better success, the character of the
news affecting wheat being more than
favorable. The advance in January to
S1.O1, coming on an oversold market,
started free covering and resulted in
another good advance in May and Jul
ly. On Thursday the Letter party
again used January to advance prices.
Sharp bidding hoisted January to LOS
and heavy buying of futures resulted
The market became a very broad one,
strong cable reports that Russia was
likely to become an importing country
and heavy seaboard clearances adding
to the general interest. Large Argen-
tine shipments and a reaction at Liy-
erpool caused a decline early Friday,
but later strong continental cables
started prices upward and helped as
usual by January, prices touched the
highest position. May ranged from
DIX @91B cents to 9Sk cents. yester-
days closing price, 97B cents, being
a net advance OF "a cents. July adj
vanced 7k@7% cents, ranging from
S3% to So cents.

BartIey Files Answer.

Ex-State Treasurer Joseph S. Bart
ley has filed his answer in the case
brought by the attorney general ON
behalf of the state of Nebraska to re-
cover the sum of 1885, 900 that Bart
ley is accused Of having embezzled
and failed to turn owe to his sue
cessor at the end OF mis- term of office.
BARLEY denies in general terms all of
the charges of embezzlement and con-
version, and asks that the petition be
dismissed for the reason that a suit
involving the same issues and the
same charges is on file in the district
court Of Douglas county undeter-
mined. This suit is a civil action di-
rected more especially against Bart
ley's bondsmen and in no way affects
the criminal charge on which be- was
convicted. HAI
