Paine. Murphy & Co.'S Grain Letter

By Private Wire to Paine, Murphy 6 Co.
 Birmingham, March 16.-Wheat futures were lower with foreign advices and moro favorable prospects for California crop, and less apprehension of damage to the winter crop Professionals are working on the bear side prominently and export demand continues disappointly small in view of the lower rates of ocean tonnage and the need of American wheat. Corn was quiet and steady, sustained by small interior offer ings and fairly good cash demand. The government report of eight hundred million bushels reserved stock in farmers hands on March 1st is believed to be about double the actual holdings. Private estimates are four hundred millions against five hundred millions a year ago. Provisions featureiess.

 Birmingham March 16.-The character of the stock market altered materially by the sensational movement in sugar. Tremend- ous advance in that stock compressed with in about one hour around noon caused more or less panic in other directions, and the bull leaders took advantage of this to buy up the entire list. American tobacco, which had broken 7h per cent, recovered the loss and rose per cent. further Consolidated gas was strong on rumors of resumption of negotiations for union of local gas in- terests. The pressure on Manhattan car ried the price off a point, but 1t subse- quently advanced per cent. Leather pre- ferred was strong, and Third avenue was also strong on indications of compromise on Amsterdam avenue legislation at All bany. Leather rose over per cent Air Brake advanced 15 per cent, and advances of per cent. and over were scored by Standard issues. Glucose rose on rumor 1t would be absorbed by the Sugar Trust.

COTTON PRICES A WENT TOPPLING
 ii-p Wednesdays Gains Were Quick y Lost Yesterday.
TENDENCY WAS DOWNWARD
Resumption of Liquidation Was Cause of Break in the Market Wall Street Commission Houses
 Joined in the Selling

New York. March 16.-The Improvement in cotton prices scored yesterday was lost today under a resumption of liquidation by parties who were identified with the selling movement in progress early in the week. Longs were disappointed at the start by an unfavorable class of cables from the Liverpool market and indications that receipts throughout the south would overrun last months estimates.
 Taking advantage of selling orders from Europe, the bear crowd made several eff forts to undermine the position of their adversaries with the result that at the lowest level of the day prices were 6 points under yesterdays market.
 The tendency of prices was steadily when covering for profits at times caused partial reactions. The close was quiet at prices 4@6 points net lower, Sentiment in professional circles early took pessimist.c c turn largely under the more bearish tenn per of weather reports and cotton belt prices in general.
 Orders from abroad were almost with out exception for the sale of December and January contracts, these offerings be- ing absorbed chiefly by the local and south- ern shorts. Commission houses, notably the Wall street contingent, bought around the opening, but subsequently, joined the sellers.

Cotton Letter

(By Private Wire to T. G. Hewlett, Agent.)
 Birmingham. March 16.-Cotton advces from Liverpool, coupled with the liberal Bombay movement and expanding receipts were considerably disappointing to the bulls today. This market ruled steady during the forenoon with a fair demand but eased off this afternoon. Foreigners continue selling new crop months, but there is little, if any, short selling of summer deliveries, owing to the fear of a shortage of delivery cotton for July

Chicago, March 16.-More reassuring news was out, the prospects for winter wheat to- day, heavier offerings of Europe from Rus sia and Argentina and absence of any ex- port demand to speak of for American wheat caused such heavy liquidation that under the leadership of wheat prices in all the grain markets broke severely. At the close the following losses were publshed Wheat, 2c; corn, 7sc and oats, 19llsc.

Hutchinson gazette. [volume] (Hutchinson, Kan.) 1895-1902, 1899-11-30

THE editor Of this paper will not
plead guilty to the charge of greatness,
but there are some things In the life Of
General Funston, which to us worn
of the dust" as we are, seem rather
queer attributes Of a great man. Fol-
instance, he Is accused publicly by
somewhere from two to a half-dozen
of the soldiers and officers of his old
regiment, of playing to the grand
stand, of plucking honors which were
not Of his own growing, and Of plain,
downright lying, They quote from
their regImental records, they substan'
tate each others evidence, they give
references 70 others to beer out their
statements. Nov, one 80 small as we,
in the generals place would not know
better than to either adopt policy Of
absolute silence to thing too small to
come to the notice Of our official dig
nifty, or II we did talk, to search out
some Of the hundreds of soldiers who
do know the facts in the case, or have
our friends do it, and give them to the
public. But the general In bis great
ness adopts far different and wiser
course. He turns his Growing foot
again toward the far distant Philip
pines and as he leaves shore fires a
parting shot calling these men liars and
intimating that they are towards,
provinglt by his own word, but leaving
them in possession of the field. But
then genius always has peculiar meth
dds Of operating and probably we
should take off our hat and apologize
for this temerity.

The State Journal Monday contains
"A voluntary statement from Private
John M, Padgett, of Sallna, who says
Callahan was ut the battle Of Guiguinto

sue contains an item from the Coffey-
vile Journal saying that 1t had inter-
viewed u prominent member of the
Twentieth Kansas who also says EN-
phatcally that Callahan was there.
Funston has reiterated two or three
times the statement that Callahan was
not at this and otherlmrortant battles.
lie Is completely done Up in this con-
troversy. The charges against Met
calf Of shooting Filipino prisoner are
not 80 well substantiated. II seems
evident that some Filipino prisoners
were killed aud that Metcalf killed
one, but exact facts are somewhat I'M
certain. One soldier says the state
lnent Of HusRey could not have been
true and gives reasons, but at the
same time volunteers some informa.
ton about Funston's fighting qualities
that would indicate him to be one of
the five cowardly officers he has talked
80 much about. Funny things hap
pen in a great war. But the sure thing
ia that the fellow who knows how to
work the wires at the rear gets the
glory and the pOsies while the man that
does only the fighting at the front gets
only the bullets and the hard tack.

while Curtis was TO have the Leland

About A Grand Jury.

There is no doubt but that a grand
jury will be called for the January
term of court and perhaps there may
be some interest in knowing what 1t
will do and what it will probably cost.
Petitions are being circulated which
must have the signatures only of the
tax payers. Upon showing the
proper number the district Judge Sc
lects grand jury, after such question
ing as he may deem proper. Its Of
fectiveness depends In a large measure
on his selection, More than the re,
quired number of names are already
on the petition. In 1895 after tern
of lawlessness grand jury was sum

JUDGE Hook of the United States
district court has handed in an opinion
declaring the court Of visitation un.
constitutional. II is not unexpected
however. In the hrst place it was
never half defended. The republican
attorney general charged with its de-
Tense wanted it declared unconstitu-
tional, In the second place we have
got no use for legislature or Congress
any how. The courts won't permit
them any more to do anything but levy
taxes and they must be mighty care
full about that not to trespass on the
holy priviledges of the rich and corpor-
ations. Kansas is now entirely with.
out railroad law but it is we'll. We
will be $4,000 q year better off than
under the old law. The legislature
will probably be charged with the re-
sponsibility Of making new law. But
if one is made it wont hurt. Or if II
