New York-No rev features have been
presented by the business situation this
week, Authorities generally agree that
1901 is likely to be one Of the most ae-
tive years in the history of the country,
In the stock market activity and strength
again have been me rule. Such reactions
as have ocurred have been ineonsequen-
tiai ard the losses in prices quickly re-
covered. Except in the case of a few
specialties. there have been no further
large advances, but the whole list has
continued to show Il strong tone under
the influence of a steady investment de-
mand for the standard dividendpaying
stocks. Money rates still favor the Dor
rover rather than the lender.
Chicago--On the Board of Trade the
feature of the week was the progress and
finally the successful termination of the
November deal in corn. Such operations
always cause serious disturbance in the
branch of trade in which they are at
tempted and seldom result favorably TO
the managers The price of November
corn the week before at tn, close was 40
cents, 81 cents Wednesday. md Friday
afternoon had dropped to ao12 cents.
Shipping of corn East was parhyzed at
a most critical part Of the season of lake
navigation by the unhealthy and altogeih-
er artificial advance in the price of the
cereal for immediate delivery, without
any compromising advantage to anyone
but the young Spectator who took the
enormous risk entailed by an attempt to
corner the market Wheat was heavy
and its price suffered a further decline,
although there were not wanting some in
dications of turn in the course of the
features of the situation that have been
the cat Sc Of the protracted weakness OF
the market The general drift of advices
from argentina leads TO The conclusion
that al is not well with the crop of wheat
that is within a few weeks of its matur-
ity in that country; while deliveries from
farmers at home have beer reduced to a
point not greatly in excess of domestic
consumption. Decreases in the visible
supply will soon be of weekly occurrence,
and if the Argentine exportable surplus
does not exceed the 100000 bushels
claimed for it by conservative people in
sne grain trade there, Europe will be
thrown back upon this country for larg-
er proportion of its supplies than it has
quite recently been willing to believe pos
sibe Provisions have been affected on
the one hand by the very small stocks Of
manufactured products and on the other
by the heavy receipts OF hogs, but for the
present the latter have been the ruling
consideration. as evidenced by a slight
decline in prices Of pork, lard and ribs.

batter. Donelson Gallery, the Louisiana

Warning to Insurance Agents.

Insurance Com I'M ssloGer Giljoh3nn
is sending out Il circular letter to fire
insurance agents in the state calling
attention to repeated violations of two
laws, which he is determined to stop.
One of these violations is the issuance
of policies in such way as to dodge
the premiums. 1T has come to my
knowledge" the commissioner says.
''that policies are being signed in
blank by local agents and sent to the
general agent residing outside of this
state, who issues the policies SO signed
and receives the premium therefor
This is violation Of section /, chapter
1870, which provides that policies may
be issued at the companies depart
ment offices, but upon applications
procured and submitted to the COM
pany by the local agent, and that be
shall enter such policy and the pay
ment of the premium upon his records,
which [ am led to believe is not done
where policy is signed in blank by
an agent. The state is the loser to
the extent of the tax on these prem
iums, and other agents are deprived
of their commissions on this business
when written outside of the state. y
The other law, section 1926, statutes
of 1898, which the commissioner says
is being violated, provides that any
agent who procures any insurance in
a city or village having a regularly
organized fire department must file a
bond OF $1,000 with the treasurer of
the city or village, and is liable to a
fine of 800 for failure to do so. IAN
agent" says Mr.. Giljohann, ''who
signs blank policy does not know in
what part of the state the risk covered
by this policy is placed by the general
agent; it may be placed in some city
or village ha has an organized fire
department, wherein the agent has
filed no bond, which would make him
liable by reason of having counter
signed the policy. 1t will be my earn
est endeavor to put stop to this viola
ton. Madison journal.

ArbOr Day.

Governor Scofeld has issued the
following proclamation for Arbor and
Bird day:
by Legislative enactment the COVER
nor is authorized to set apart one
day in the yea to be known as
Arbor and Bird day.
The beneficent results Of this enact
ment are everywhere apparent. Not
only are the school grounds and public
pa ks of the state being made attract
i've by tree planting and deep inter-
est in the preservation of our song
birds being awakened among the
young, but there is coming to be
among the people of the state in gener-
al clearer understanding of the eco
preservation.
I'm order that this interest in the for
ests and birds may be maintained, |,
Edward Scoield, governor of Wiscon-
sin, by authority vested In me by the
legislature, do hereby set apart and
designate Friday, May 4, 1900, to be
Arbor and Bird day
It is highly desirable that all the
public schools ana the places of learn
ing generally throug nom ne state do
upon that day. hoid apqrot rate exer-
cises, to the end that the young may
grow into an intelligent appreciation
of those attractions with which nature
has endowed our state, and come to
discern the close relationship between
beauty and usefulness. Let an effort
be made on that day to add in some
degree to the attractiveness of all
school grounds and public parks, and
to impart to the little children es-
pecially love for birds.
