GENERAL MERRIAM'S REPORT.
Thinks His Force Reduced to the Safety
Limit.


Washington, Oct. 1s.-The War de-
partment has made public the annual
report of Brigadier General II. G. Mer-
rian, commanding the department OF
Colorado. Only the most casual refer
ence is made to Merriam's operations in
Idaho during the miners tronbles. He
states that this feature of the years
work has already been covered in q sepa-
rate report transmitted to the War de-
partment. This report has not been
made public up to date. Merriam says
his department has been almost denuded
of troops, owing to the demand for for
eign service. The discipline of this
small force, he says, has been a good
school and the work satisfactory, the
court martials being fewer than in pre-
ceding years. He says, however, con-
sidering the presence of $4,000 Indians
in the department the military strength
is reduced very close to the limit of
safety.
Washington, Oct. 1S.-The report of
General Merriam upon the Idaho riots
was made public this afternoon. Mer-
riam disclaims all responsibility for the
orderrefusing employment to union men
at the mines. He says this regulation
was drawn up by the state authorities
and his only connection with it was to
lberalize certain Of it's provisions after
which he placed his name at the bot
tom with the words 'examined and ap-
proved" He says it was not his inten-
tion that his troops should have any
part debating the condition of labor in
Idaho and they never did so. Another
point which he makes is that the prison
ers of whom at one time there were more
than 400 were not properly cared for
until he called the attention of the state
authorities to the matter after which
their condition was materially improved.

Metal Quotations-Wool Prices and
Movements-Grain and Pro-
duce-Review Of Trade.

New York, April IA rise in call
money and recurrence Of discrimina-
ton in loans against the industrials
caused prices to recede below Saturday
close. The market as usual on Monday
after strong Saturday closing opened
active and strong on an accumulation of
outside orders. Except for a, squirt of
strength in the grangers with Burlington
leading, although they subsequently lost
about all of the early gain, the dealings
were largely confined to the industrials
and speciaities Prominent in the early
strength were Tobacco. Iron and Steel
shares, Anaconda Mining, Cotton Oil and
General Electric. The latter was influ-
enced by gossip relative to dividend pros
poets. Manhattan, Sugar and Brooklyn
Transit were consistently weak, although
Brooklyn Transit recovered somewhat
from the lowest. Many of the special
ties which had advanced most readily
early were equally conspicuous in the
afternoon decline. especially Continental
and Federal Steel, Colorado Fuel and
Iron and American Steel and Wire. An
advance in wheat gave encouragement to
the BEARS who construed it as contirma-
tory of crop damage gossip. The strength
in the call money market, which ranged
from Az to g. was in a measure due to
the financing of another crop of indus
trial combinations, including payments
incidental to the organization of the
American Hoop company. There was con-
siderable selling for Western account in
the afternoon trading, which gave en-
enlargement to a large interest on the
short side.
The general market left off rather weak.
Business in reality was well distributed

Chicago. April 17.-Reports of warm, dry
weather started wheat firm. Private crop
reports were generally discouraging, but
there were numerous dispatches of the
opposite sort which raised the hopes of
the bears and caused heavy selling on
all the hard spots. May opened ssGlac

clined irregularly to 72&c. On report
from a prominent crop statistician con-
firmatory of previous damage reports in
the principal winter wheat states, the
market recovered to 73hc. Renewed
liquidation Of May holdings quickly forced
a decline to 721ac. Following tnat came
gloomy reports from Michigan and In
diana, and a recovery to 73Ac resulted.
The visible supply increased 1000 bush
els. In the last half hour the market
tended steadily upward, with shorts COW
ering freely. May rose to 735s@73&c and
closed at 73ac. July closed at 7412c, the
premium over May being increased to X.
Corn was strong on a decrease of 200,
900 bushels in the visible. light receipts
and a good spring demand. Several large
shorts were persistent buyers, but offer
ings were moderate. May closed Ec
higher.
Oats were fairly strong in sympathy
with the leading cereals. A decrease of
233, 900 bushels was shown in the visible
supply. The trade consisted chiefly of
buying of May and selling of July by

Street Railway Rumors.

New York, April 1.-THE Times says:

tenn of a number Of the principal cities
of America, has been promulgated with
the names of w. G. Whitney, P. A. Is.
Widener and W. L. Elkins mentioned
as it's promoters. The fact is cited that
Messrs. Widener and Elkns are nov
trying to get control of the Yerkes sys-
ten of street railways in Chicago, and
this is said to be part of the general
scheme aforesaid. An authorized rep
resentative of Mr.. Whitney character
ICES this story as Pigment of the i'm
agination.
There is to be no such corpora tion,"
said he. "Mr. Whtney ie not interest
ed in the Chicago railway deal or in any
attempt to consolidate the railway in
terests of various cities, and he knows
of no such attempt. He certainly would
know of it if it were ito be made"
An electrical cab company is being
organized for Chicago and Mr.. Whitney
had been connected with this enter
prise as one which would also be con-
trolled by the corporation aforesaid.
The representative previously mention
ed declares that all Mr. Whitney had to
do with such an enterprise was the fur
nishing of the batteries through the
patent company in this industry, the
Electric Storage Battery company of
Philadelphia. in which he is interested.
Charles 7. Yerkes did not deny, when
questioned last night, that Elkins and
Widener had bid for his street railroad
interests, but would not discuss it. The

ton with the street railway trust afore-
said. John d. Rockefeller said last
night that he knew nothing about it.
