LETTERS BIG WHEAT CORNER
His CIiqHe NowOwns Every Bushcl
Of Surplus Wheat in This Country.

Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 27.-" Basing our cs-
Inmates on the government figures, we
think we now own every bushel of sur
plus wheat in this country" George Il.
French, the active manager of the big
wheat combination, was speaking for
himself and Joseph Letter, who les the
visible head of the Clique"
He said:
According to the most reliable csti-
mates 0btainable we think there is not
more than 15,000,000 bushels of wheat
unaccOunted for Scattered over differ
ent parts of the country we have hold
ings Of at least that amount, so we can
safely claim to have possession of all the
surplus"
Added to the government estimate Of
530,000.000 Bushels for last years crop
the 300,000,900 bushels carried over
from the crop of 1896. gave Mr.. French
his basis Of 560.0O0,000 bushels as the
original supply. This he proceeded TO
dispose of as follows:
Exported to date 145.000,000 bushels:
estimated necessary for home consump-
ton 3400O0.0O0 bushels: estimated nee
essary for seed. G0.000.000 bushels, max
ing a total of 545. 100000 bushels com
fortably put away. The difference be-
tween the original estimated supply and
the amount accounted for is 15.000.000
bushels. This is the amount of wheat
which. according to Mr.. French furnish
es the key to the situation. and on which
the clique has put a price of ten cents
in advance of the Chicago price for May
wheat. whatever that may be from day
to day.
'The situation is simply this" declar-
ed French, everything goes TO show that
this country has sent abroad more than
its exportable surplus. We think wheat
has been over exported to the extent of
Is. 100000 or 2O000O0O bushels and
that the United States is the country in
which to sell"

Raise Funds.

The free kindergarten movement in
this city is not receiving the financial
support which a movement of this sort
should get. This scheme to educate the
poor children is indeed worthy Of much
better financial support than which has
been accorded to it. The kindergarten
opened in cid No. IL School, IN Mercer
street, is progressing nicely, and before
long it. is thought that another viii be
opened in the Rwer section Of the city
The Kindergarten Association is now
busy raising funds for the purpose of
starting another school and many asso-
Citations and clubs are helping along the
movement by holding entertainments and
such forms of amusement, the receipts
being turned over to the Kindergarten
Association. The entertainment which
was given by the pupils of all the Hill
schools last Tuesday evening, in School
No. Is, on Dwight street, Greenyiile, was
an enormous success. From this event
over $1OO was realized and all the schools
have not yet been heard from Some
thing like one hundred pupils took part
in the exercises for this worthy cause

ment and a number of young society folk

is one of the Board of Governors OF the

that he thought the kindergarten move

4 WATER CONTRACT.

THE MAYOR WON'T ATTEND
Great Division Of Opinion as
to the Merits Of the
Various Bids.

1t is probable tina definite action Will
be taken on the water question at next
Wednesdays meeting of the Street and
Water Board. Today notices were sent
out by the Street and Water Board for
a conference to be held nex Monday
at half past seven O'Clock. The
conference will be attended by Corpora
ton Counsel McDermott and Enginesrs
Ferris and Vermeule. The Mayor ana
Finance Board will not be invited to at
tend. The first step is an award and the
Street and Water Commissioners say they
are capable of deciding which plan oHers
the most advantages to the city without
advice from any other board. Engineers
Ferris and yermeule will explain the diff
ferent proposals and point out the salient
features of each.
Corporation Counsel McDernrott will
give the Commissioners m advice they
wish about the legal points involved in he
making OF an award. 1t is considered
highly probable that there will be a split
in the Board when the time arrives for
an award to be made. Commissioners
Hauck, Nolan and Smith are said to favor
the proposition of Patrick H. Flynn.
Commissioners Heintze and hollywood. 1t
is reported. favor the plan of the Rock
away and Hudson Company, because 1t is
low. Engineer Vermeule says the O'Brlen,
Sheehan, Mclean & Rodgers bid is the
best one. Engineer Ferris approves the
FlynE plan.
The Finance Board, which will have to
concur in any award that is made is also
divided as TO which proposal is the best
one for the city to accept. Two members
favor the Inman bid. The other three
favor different concerns. Moth
ing can BE- accomplished without Mayor
Hoos and although he has never express
ed an opinion, it is generally believed h a
he leans toward the Imman proposal.
There is such a division among the
officials who nave to pass upon a con-
tract that some predict nothing will be
accomplished. CORPORATION Counsel Nc
Dermott's advice will cary great weight
with ell the officials.
The officers of the competing concerns
are anxious to nave definite action taken.
In February last when they submitted
their proposals to the Street and Water
Board they deposited as an evidence of
good faith certified checks for S100, 900. The
gentlemen want the use of their money
if there is to be any further delay. II
any conclusion is arrived at Mondays con-
ference, an award may be made next
Wednesday. 1t looks as though the con-
tract would &c to P. H.. Flynn.

WILL STOP SUNDAY NUISANCE.
Greenville Police Will Arrest Loud
I1ugad Extra Eakirs.

The police of the Ocean avenu station
are determined to stop the selling of
extras on Sunday in the Greenville section
of the city. These fakirs COME from New
York with a large bundle of fake extras
and shout out their wares at the top of
their voices. They seldom confine them
selves to Me truth, but instead they yell
out that something terrible has happened.
These fellows are fakirs of the worst kind
and they simply carry on a bunoo game
on a small scale. Fort these so-called
sources of inf -mation, five cents is
charged and those who are foolish enough
to buy are simply swlndled.
Hereafter on Sundays the police will ar
rest these fellows who make a practice
Of going through the streets shouting out
extras. The constant Yelling is a source
OF much annoyance to the residents, who
say that 1t is bad enough to hear the
shouts on week days, and that the
solemnity of Sunday should not De broken
by these fakirS.

THE QUESTION OF PRIZES.
Woman's Club Educational Board
Discusses Their Eject.

The Educational Committee of the

the season yesterday afternoon at Has
brouck Hall. The attendance was small.
scarcely a quorum. and very little bust
Issss could be transacted.
The meeting was called to order by Mrs.
VIM. f. Marvin, chairman, and the
inmates of the last meeting read. A re-
port was given regarding the money APP
propriated for a prize to be awarded by
The Woman,s Club for the best essay on
Woman written by a member of the
graduating class of the Jersey City High
School. The report stated that Superln-
tendent Snyder objected. This called for
quite a discussion as to why" Some of
the ladies held that children should be
taught to Learn for the love Of the task,
and without marks or prizes Of any kind,
while others held that prizes ard marks
brought forth much better results. 1t is
a fact. Q~amentable perhaps) that the
majority of ambitious pupils work for
100 per cent. Can this rule so long in
vogue be changed? However, as Mr..
back to The Executive Board and the
committee dismissed with thanks.
The question OF the truant school was
Isext brought up. The ladies wish TO start
a school tor children who will not or can
not attend The public schools. Their
object IS to get a room somewhere in the
school districts. and open a class or
classes, with volunteer teachers, where
the children may be brought in. read to
and taught for about two hours in the
afternoon thus gradually preparing them
to enter the public schools. A circular
report on this subject. will be sent to the
general federation In Denver, when it con-
venes next month.
The work for the ensuing year was dis
cussed and the following committee was
appointed to prepare the progranme:-
Miss L. Fuller, Mrs. Henry Harrison and
Miss G.. Weber.
The meeting then adjourned until the
latter part of September, when a special
