says "decent people will say clear
of this state" and the Gate city
wiseacre says, 1--WE stand in our own
light by not being in touch with the
republican president" and further,
that the estate has been put back
ten years"
Everyone who has taken any
trouble 10 look the matter up knows
that these sheets are soldering
over themselves, but there may be
some who have not kept posted on
this subject and to these, we cite the
following:
For examples, we will take Utah
and Wyoming, both as new and I'M
developed as Idaho, and having
equally as good natural resources as
this state. Both Wyoming and
Utah have republican state officials,
and have had, while Idaho has had
four years Of fusion government,
only to make record on.
According to the census this year
Idaho increased her population very
nearly 100 per cent, Wyoming only
SO per cent and Utah about 80 per
| cent. Everyone knows that the
great bulk of Idaho's increase has
been in the last four years.
Again, more new companies have
been organized to do business in
Idaho under the fusion administra-
ton than in Utah and Wyoming
put together.
More miles of new railway have
been built in Idaho than in either of
the other two states.
In fact Idaho has increased more
all the way round than both the
other states combined. This being
trne, where are the grounds for the
Tribs' wall. There isn't any, and
Idaho will grow as fast in the fn-
ture as it has IN the past, under
fusion administration, too.

The Catholic church has been the
foe of secret orders for years and
yet these orders have grown twice
as fast as the church. It will be
SO with the Mormon church. If
they make open war on the secret
orders, the orders will grow even
more rapidly than they do now right
in Utah and Idaho.
The Mormon church leaders are
at liberty to attack the lodges if
they desire, but the lodges will
never return the compliment By at
lacking the church, and therein
they will have the strongest appeal
to the people.

The nomination of Dubois, as
senator, has cost the democrats
nearly every county in Southeastern
Idaho, and one of them, Fremont,
was the banner democratic county
too. No wonder nearly all of the
democrats are taking sides against
any more fusion.

CHICAGO, Jan. 20.-Wheat was firm to-

the latter market has advanced &c on spot
and &c on futures, owing to damage by

200. 900 bushels. There were 100000 bush
els of cash wheat taken here for export;
the seaboard reported nine loads. the Wis
ible supply will probably increase slightly.
Tonight's corn prices are about the same
as Friday, the range all day being within
Lie. The Government figures will be out
in the morning papers. The Western oher-
ings continue light, but the unseasonably
mild weather may have most to do with
that. Certainly the shipping demand does
not improve. Chicago's stocks will Prob
ably increase about 100000, and quite GER
tainly there will be a good Increase in the
visible. Liverpool was steady today. Sea-
board clearances were SAG, 900 bushels.

TO be better than the buying. The shipping
demand was slow.
Provisions had moderate reaction from
the recent decline, and closed firm at the

NEW YORK, Jan. 2o.-The bank state
ment today was fully as favorable as had
been expected. 1t failed, however, to eN-
ert any special influence on the STOCK
market. AS fact, the disposition oil op-
orators was TO close trades and await de-
velopments in South Africa. The conse-
suence was lower prices for many of the
stocks on what is commonly described as
The active list. The declines, however
were not important. The business alto
gether on the stock exchange was light
and the cable reported practically stag
nation in stocks in London, where the
speculative community was waiting for
war news. The bank statement disclosed
q gain of 81 .636. 900 in cash. which was an
amount larger than had been estimated,
and proved that money was flowing TO this
centre from the interior in heavy volume.
For another thing, the bank statement
was made on rising averages, and the po-
sition of the banks was presumably better
than the statement indicated. An in
crease of 81. AIS, 100 in loans was rather
surprising, and was accounted for, in
measure at least, by a considerable in
crease in the transactions in bonds. The
surplus reserve now stands at S24, 1850,
Or S10,5oS, 900 less than year ago The
amount of cash in banks was then VOL

eount rates abroad was distinctly toward

Bank OF England would make another re-
nuction in its rate the coming week
should British military operations be at
tended with any success.
The stock of the American Sugar ne
fning Company was again conspicuous IN
the trading, and it displayed considerable
strength The sugar trade war was seem
iugly stopped although ii may be re-
sumed later. The desire of all the con-
terms engaged in the manufacture OF sugar

The past week has been very dull one
In the stock market. The transactions
have aggregated less than in any previous
week for more than a year, and the
changes In prices have been. for the most
part, fractional from day 10 day, and very
small for the total net movement for the
week. Different reasons are assigned for
this condition of things, but it seems very
clear that the chief immediate trouble has
been the acute uncertainty over the situa-
iion in South Africa II has been known
that on any day great battle might be
fought, and that the result of the conflict
might possibly be a victory for either side
that would ne decisive. Little chance as
there has been that the British would be
defeated, the possibility has prevented
buying of securities by the friends of
higher prices. And for the same reason II
may be inferred that when the battle is
fought, Its results will be important TO
the stock market. The news of the fight
may be received before the opening OF The
market tomorrow. II is certain to come
In few days. The outlook is most encour-
aging, supposing that the British win.
boom in prices is very nearly certain. The
beginning OF a strong and continuous up
ward movement is not in the least unlike
Iy. Nothing that the bears can say can
disguise the fact that conditions. intrin-
sically and technically have undergone a
radical change for the better in the mas,
few weeks, good as they were before in
many respects.

Ggnihcance of the movement of prices in

The large increases in the gross earnings
of the railways for the second week of
January have also been most encouraging.
They have surprised even the enthusiastically
inclined who have been willing 20 concede
that some slight falling off in increases
might occur. AS a matter of fact, the
increases for the week are larger than
those for any week in December and very
nearly as large as any weeks increase IN
recent months. The forlv-eight lines the I
have reported for the week give gross
earnings as ST, 3s7, SOS, an increase OF &c.,
ia. or 1885 per cent OF the entire list,
there were only six that did not report an
increase in gross. The decrease Of these
lines aggregated s25, 900, which sum is In
cluded in the total figures above. Few OF
the December net earnings statements have
been issued as yet. II is generally believed
that they will not show large increases, for
the very good reasons known to every
body. The statement of the Chicago Great
Western for the month is entirely salts
factory. however, showing, as has been
said. full dividends earned on both the "A"
and 81 stocks for the first six months of
the year In this connection it may be pre-
dicted with much confidence that il the De-
cember statements are not all good those
that follow will be excellent. The increases
in rates are now in force all over the coun-
try, and they are being lived up TO, accord
ing to all available testimony. The dinner
the other day given by former Senator
Davis to the railway presidents and promi-
nent politicians and the many other indt-
cations of harmony among the railways-of
an alliance of interests, in fact-seem to
make the promise of good rates in the
future most hopeful. With cheap money
and with big earnings assured, the bears
will have difficulty in finding arguments
on which TO sell stocks.

Sugar has been the most active stock on
the list during the week 1t was weak at
times. and cannot be said to have been
buoyant at any time; but the net result OF
the weeks tradings is a small gain. Yes
terday the stock opened at III 3-4, and adj
vanced to 1l9. Later ii declined TO III SIS.
The closing price week ago was JIG S-S.
The newest development" in the sugar
situation is the statement that the indie
pendent refineries are TO combine into
competing corporation for the purpose OF
fighting the American Company more eff
fectively. 1t is highly probable that there
is nothing in the story. And IL there Is
any substratum of truth in IL, the large
probability is that the trust itself is at
the bottom OF the scheme. The advance in
the price of all grades of sugars of 10
points on Friday is much more important
matter. This shows, without any tips. that
the fight is not now so bitter as to prevent
the various companies from being willing
to make money.
