CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

A good deal for sale at those prices, but the selling did not depress the price lower than 97c, and shortly after q gen. eral buying movement set in. which carried the price up to 9Sc. That advance, however, raised a short selling breeze of such strength that In half an hour the advance had melted down to e6%4c. The heavy dumping of long lines late yesterday made many traders afraid to risk their money in wheat at prices above s7c. and this fact had good deal to do with augmentlng the liquidation which carried prices down.

COST OF RUSSIAN ORDINATIONS.

Alexander III was parsimonious On his deathbed he advised his son to te strictly economical. His own corona tion, he said had only cost 13,O00 900 rubles ($6, ,500,000), but the coronation expenses ought to be and could be fur ther reduced, to 7,000, 900 rubles. Mi cholas II has preferred, on the con- trary, to squander on that unfortunate display more than 60,000, 900 rubles (S30,- OOO.OO0). taken from the already over burdened state budget
 Strict economy in state expenditaie Q was the rule during the previous reign, and this must be said of Alexander III, that he succeeded in putting an end to the wholesale plundering of Russia which was going on during the second half of Alexander IFS rule; he undoubt- edly created a certain atmosphere of honesty in the management of the states moneys. Under tEe present Czar the watchword is, on the contrary: Do just as you like! Steal, and plum der, but don't worry meI'-Prince Kra- potkin in The Outlook

 NORTHERN WHEAT MARKET

PORTLAND. Or. Jan. 29.-The local wheat market has been in such sondtion for the past week that it was impossible to obtain an accurate quotation, buyers being governed entirely by their immediate wants, apparently regardless of Liverpool quotations, on which Portland figures are usually based. There is much speculative bidding reported among in- ter warehouse men, and all sorts of extrava- gant prices are reported as having beer paid in some eases as high as so cents being paid for Walla Walla. Exporters to-day quot ing from 74ikc to TIC, but were not securing much at the lower figure, and in few cases offered 71Isc for Walla Walla without loos- ening up stocks Blue and valley are quoted at 79GIS0c per bushel.
