CORN LEADS THE WAY
Strong Market, Closing at
3-4 Cent Advance.
WHEAT RISES IA CENT
Oats a Shade, and Provisions
2 IL to 10 Better.

Chicago, Feb. 1s.-Corn, sold to stand
still without weakening, reacted on COW
ering by shorts today and closed strong,
May &c over aturday. Wheat was easy
early, but reacted with corn and unfavor-
able weather in France. May closing firm
&c up. Oats closed a shade and provis-
ions ~ TO T1za10c better.
A good part of the session corn con-
cealed its condition under an appearance
of quiet steadiness. May opened a shade
under Saturday at S41zqS41sc. attributable
to the easiness of wheat. There was no
great demand, but offerings were absorb
ed readily and May clung for hours
around 3424c. Near the close offerings be-
came very scarce and the impression that
the market has been sold TO a standstilI
gained general credence. Under heavy
buying to cover May shot up from 34a4c
to &7s G1sc, at which the market closed,
&c over aturday. The cash demand was
slow. Receipts here were SOL cars, 81
cars over the estimate.
The strength developed by wheat late in
the session was attributable TO the bulge
in the coarse cereal. The opening was
easy on the LivehpooI decline and the in
May 4A2sc under Saturday at 677sc. The
advance in Paris and the unfavorable
weather reported IN France created. a
diversion IN favor Of the bulls which pull
ed the price up to 6s15c. Trade was wulI,
however, and a little profit-taking sent
May back to initial figures. Shorts COW
cred and May advanced TO 6sssG1zc, at
which It closed, Ac over Saturday. New
York reported five loads taken for export
Atlantic port clearances in wheat and
-four were equal TO 3S3, 600 bushels. Pri-
mary receipts were $1,000 bushels, COM
pared with S86, 600 bushels last year. Re-
ceipts here were &c cars.
4 long line Of oats was left out today
which was largely influential in holding
that market easy. Near the end the
by some sympa thetic covering, closed
firm, May a shade up at 234sG&4c.
Provisions held their own the greater
part Of the day because hog receipts were
under the estimate, and turned firm with
corn at the close. Trade was not large
and fluctuations were narrow. May pork
closed 71zG10c over Saturday at S11.099

Gen. RandaIi's Endorsement.

The opinion OF Gen. Randall that Sc
attic should be the shipping point not
only for the Alaskan army. but also for
the transpaciic army corps. now on
duty in the Philippines. is gratifying,
but not surprising. Gen. Randall is an
army officer OF long experience: his SER
vice on this coast. and particularly in
Alaska. has given him complete infor-
nation as 10 the advantages and disad-
vantages of the different ports: he Is
free from all local prejudice and is ar
tuated solely by desire for the good OF
the service. This. with his high char
acter and standing In the service, should
give his opinion strong weight with the
department. and more than Offset all
political pulls which may be exerted in
favor Of other ports
Gen. Randall says further: when
was asked regarding the best shipping
point for all transpacific army needs. I
unhesltatinSly said Seattle, and think
the whole thing will be done from here
before long" This ls precisely the class
% testimony which Seattle values most
highly: the unsolicited Endorsement of
disinterested army officers. who have
no local interests and who desire moth
ing but the good Of the service, II has
supreme confidence. further. that from
such authority IL viii always receive
the same Recommendation
II is for this reason that Seattle.
through its Chamber Of Commerce, has
solicited the secretary OF war % appoint
a commission OF army officers Of high
rank. whose present duty Is on the At
laniic coast. and who consequently have
no local prejudIces. and 70 them leave
the question which is the proper
port through which to handle the trans
port and quArterInaster' service for the
Philippines. No doubt whatever Is felt
tina, such 4 beard would unanimously
uphold the opinion q Gen Randall on
the subject. II its members should take
the same trouble 70 fam!harize them
selves With all details OF the subject
Nothing IS asked from pol teal pulls or
personal influence. Seattle desires to

While reports OF new discoveries OF
gold in Alaska are TO be received with
some grains of allowance. II Is reason
able to believe that there are many dis
tricts there yet unopened which will
rival in richness those already exploit
ed Alaska is a vast country; and while
gold in paying quantities does not ex-
list everywhere, II is hardly doubtful
that scores of rich deposits remain un-
discovered to reward the future pros

the gold excitement in Alaska Will last
for ten years, possibly for fifty to come.

1t is perfectly reasonable and right to
demand for articles manufactured in
this state an equal chance with those
of foreign make. II this is true In gen.
eral trade; IL the home consumer should,
other things being equal, give the pref
erence TO the home manufacturer, how
much stronger the argument when it is
applied to the purchases made for our
