 Chicago, Jan. 2S.-Radical weakness was exbibited in the local wheat market Fri day. the first time in nearly two weeks. Iiverpool opened strong at an advance of A@1d, but by 1:30 p. m. had lost hd on some futures, while Paris was only to 10 centimes higher. The most influential bear factor was the weekly Argentine ship ments, which aggregated S64OO0 bushels. Within the past two weeks Argentine has shipped almost half as much wheat as 1t did all of last year, and the fact had decided effect on the trading element. A comparison of the wheat imports into the limited Kingdom for 1897 and the countries for which the importations were made, shows that imports from the United States and Canada increased 36 per cent, while those from other exporting countries di- minished 57 per cent Northwest receipts amounted to 3s4 cars, against S5S last week and 194 a year ago. Chicago received twenty-five cars, only one of which graded contract quality. May wheat. which closed last night at 971sQ97A, opened today at 96ll @96ss with an abundance of selling or- ders at those figures, resulting in fur ther recession to 96 almost immediately. Some of the heaviest traders were good buyers at the decline. and with this sup port the market reacted to s7. At this point early influences made themselves felt again and realizing sales resulted in 1zc loss. In the afternoon. however. the mar ket took decided turn. Brokers appar- ently acting under instructions from the bull clique, started to purchase everything in sight, starting with the January op- tion, which they advanced 5c to 11o. May and July followed closely the former, sell ing up to 9S1z and the latter to SsA. To- ward the close a lc to 2c break occurred, the result of realizing sales. Corn and oats were dull and easy.

Stock Letter

By Private Wire to T. G. Hewlett, Agt.
 New York Jan 2S.--President Mckinley S speech was far reaching in it's effects and the presidents golden rule served to offset Senator Teller's silver '. resolution for a time. Conditions as described indicated more clearly than ever that currency re- form is probable and that the administra- ton intends pushing currency legislation as far as possible. London, however, was a weakening factor, and traders were com pelled to work hard in order to maintain the opening advantages. Commission house purchases suggested that the out side public was becoming more interested in speculation. There was no official state ment relative to the Vanderbilt plans, but it is practically a certainty now that the deal involves the purchase of Lake Shore stock by the New York Central. There was plenty of bull talk on Erie first prefer red. The estimated earnings of per cent. on the stock of Rock Island is considered an indication that the property will not remain on a per cent. basis. There was some heavy buying of Northern Pacific common and a reported scarcity of float ing stock For the month of December net earnings increased ss2S,692 and the company will show considerable surplus over preferred dividends for the current fiscal year. At 2 p. m. London had im- proved somewhat, but under the lead or the specialties the general market eased off. London was heavy seller of New York Central all forenoon. La Clede Gas sold ex-dividend 1 per cent. on the prefer red and 11a on the common stock

Creamery Notes.

A creamery receives each mans milk
'f5 cans and weighs II and by the use Of
an instrument determines the amount
Of butter fat per pound Of milk AMI pays
the producer accordingly.
Colorado crcameries are paying from
about IL 70 - cents per pound for but
ter fat, the price varies with the season,
which amounts TO about five 10 seven
cents per gallon for the milk Differ
ent cows give milk Of different degrees
of richness and the difference is gov
erned by the kind OF COW and the feed
and shelter she receives. Ifone farmer
gives his COWS abundance and variety
Of feed with plenty Of water, not too
cold, and good warm shelter toe cows
will give more and richer milk than
where the conditions are reversed, but
the farmer get. paid for the extra care
and expense through the weighing aud
testing above referred TO.
Farmers who live several miles from
the creamery do not have to each make
n trip 90 the creamery TO deliver their
milk but simply place IL in large cans
by the front gate and the milk wagon
comes along and hauls IL TO the cream
cry for everybody along the road. This
Is done every morning and the cans are
returned in few hours with the milk
I'm. but the cream or butter lat has been
extracted by means OF an engine and q
separator.
In cooperative creamery II man
owns ever so little creamery stock ana
mIIks but one COW he can send the MIX
to the creamery and buy his butter back
and lose nothing by the transaction
because the separator removes all the
butter fat which he cannot do by skim
ming and IL saves the farmers vile the
trouble Of Swimming and churning. -

WHY THEY wEPT.
Gang Had Half-Barr;l OF Sour Beer, but
II Was Emptied in Riv.r.

For some time Policeman Willard OF
the Water street beat has been sus-
pected of not entertaining due amount
of appreciation for the class of rowing
'longshoremen" which infests the
neighborhood of the Crawford street
bridge, or at least that IN the opinion
held of him by the personages alluded
to, and ii would seem from an action
of his yesterday that their suspicious
were well founded. and they all give
voice to the statement that some DAY
perhaps the extreme lack Oh hpprecia-
tion that he displayed in relation 10
them will be avenged when he gets ION
the hog" and has an Unsuitable thirst
gnawing I'm his throat. This wanton
act of the officer was that OF turning
into the Providence river whole haif
barrel of beer which had become too
sour for the palates OF the patrons OF
South Main street barroom and had
been donated to 'de gang" whose JOY
knew almost no bounds at the gift, ana
IL was reflected upon their counte-
nances to such an extent as TO put 10
shame the bright rays of the rising
sun. They all took hand In roliins
the present to a wharf on South water
street, and after arriving they pro-
ceeded to place 1t i'm convenient place
where it's contents could be easily
drawn off and a day Of enjoyment had
in consequence: but, just at this In
opportune moment officer willard put
in an unwelcome appearance. and hnd-
ing the fellows i'm possession or the
means OF so much happiness began TO
make inquiries regarding the source
from which il came, and after Few
moments he was in possession or all the
details.
Then he told them that so much sour
beer was detrimental TO their health,
and with quick movement then
turned nd proceeded with "ghoulish'
glee," they say. to empty the contents
OF the priced half barrel into the river.
The act was a saddening one for the
gang, and they sat around and be-
moaned their loss with tears in their
eyes, while in some instances the tears
ran "adown" their respective cheeks
and in the oppressive silence that pre-
vailed fell with n dull thud upon ths
unsympathetic planks OF the wharf
The officer then took his departure
without Offering condolences, and ne
was watched out of sight by the little
band of saddened wanderers, who were
consoled only to a slight extent by the
thought that some day perhaps revenge
would be theirs.
