GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Activity in Wheat is Shown on Chic
ago Board of Trade.

Chicago, March 1.-THE opening In
wheat was marked by a good deal Of ac-
tivity and strength. Liverpool showed a
good advance following the gain in prices
here yesterday but the chief factor for
the time being was the continued cold
weather in the winter wheat belt and the
growing conviction among traders that
next week would be marked by a flood of
advance in the price Of wheat. May
opened at 672sd6712, an advance of bd14
over yesterday. This advance was Suffi-
Gent for many holders and realizing sales
caused temporary setback, May re-
acting to 6lA. with considerable wheat
changing hands at those figures. Then the
market again turned upward, and for the
remainder of the short session buyers
were largely in the majority. During the
last hour OF trading a new and decidedly
influential factor developed in the en-
gagement for export of 404 900 bushels
foreigners were good buyers of futures
May wheat reacted to 675s and at the close
was in demand at 67SsG671b.
Corn was firm at the opening and at the
close with some weakness intervening
Considerable activity was shown all day.
A good cash demand was reported. May
closed Il higher.
Oats showed more activity than Of late
and scored a small advance. Elevator
people were moderate sellers. May closed
4sGAc higher.
Provisions were active and strong
throughout and now high prices for the
season were recorded The advance in
hog prices. the strength of the grain mar
ketS and the small stocks were factors in
the strength, and in spite of heavy COM

steadily. May pork closed l712 cents high

Weekly Bank Statement.

New York, March 1.-THE Financier
says: The associated banks of New
York lost S6S25, 700 cash last week, as
the outcome of their operations with
the treasury and the interior, but this
decrease, instead Of coming altogether
out of surplus reserves as has been the
case for a month or more past, was par
TALLY made up by reduced reserve re-
quirements, traceable to lowered depos-
its.
The statement was a surprise in sew
eral respects, the calling in of 81, 81, 400
of loans furnishing an example in this
respect. To what influence the shrink
age in loans is due is rather a difficult
problem to answer, but as more than
half the decrease originated with one
large bank through which the $40. 900, 600
Standard OIL dividend was paid is quite
probable that the incident named had
more or less to do with the change in
the combined showing. The refunding
of bonds, involving as il does some COM
plicated operations, possibly figures in
the same connection. As a result of
the Outgo of cash and the expansion in
lOaJrs, deposits fell off s15.343, 900. This
of itself reduced reserve requirements
1885, $50.
The excess funds in bank are now
S2,6S6,425 above the 25 per cent limit,
but the fact that exchange at interior
cities is hardening fOreshaGOws not only
a cessation of the flow of money from
NV York. but fresh accesSions to the
local supply. The most interesting prob
lem just now concerns the issue of new
note circulation. The only expansion
looked for here at present Is the 10 per
cent extra granted on existing amounts
outstanding. Bankers EXPECT that the
new notes win trickle into circulation
slowly and not come in a food, as has
been predicted. There is a prevalent
impression that a test Of the new laws
possibilities will not be afforded until
the demands of the crop season are
felt.
Correspondence with country bankers
indicates a movement toward addition
al circulation, both by old and new
banks, but on the other hand many
conservative Institutions have improve5
the opportunity to sell their old bonds
at prices that gave them as much prOfit
as they would have realized on cirouIa-
ton for one year or more, accorCina r.,
prices paid for the BONDS originally.

House Burglarized.

1t was discovered yesterday that the
house Of Mr.. Ropp on Lincoln avenue
a Southern Pacific employee. had beer
burglarized. Mr.. Ropp's family is at
present visiting in the east, and Mr.
Ropp only returned yesterday from a

that it had been completely ransacked.
Most of the valuables had been re-
moved, including child's bank which
contained a considerable amount OF
money. The police were notified and are
investigating the case.

to make up the required reserve Of law
ful money against deposit liabilities,
while at the same time going to swell
the deposits.
But it must be remembered that even
a. times when the net shipments of cur
rency are largely in favor of New York,
there continues a large volume of ship
ments in response to interior demands.
Thus. in January and February of 1895,
while the net receipts OF currency from
the interior by New York banks
amounted to $50, 56S. 900, there were act
Cal shipments Of currency to the in
terror Of S19.474,0 00. This allows a mar
gin for a process Of sorting and selec-
ton which would afford opportunity
for keeping the bank notes out.

that debt is an indication OF prosperity
and that people borrow in order to en-
large their business. In the absence
of detailed facts one of these arguments
is as good as another. In the countries
of the old world no effort has been
made to ascertain the causes of indie bt-
edness.
Inasmuch as this collection of facts
is somewhat novel, the method may
prove to be interesting. A large force
of special agents is engaged in taking
the records of counties and cities, show
ing the mortgages of citizens and cor
porations. The names and addresses
of mortgagers are obtained by special
inquiries. and then letters are sent to
those persons. asking the following
questions: "Was this mortgage fully
paid January /, 1900? If not, how much
was due at that date? Was this mort
gage made to secure part of purchase
money, to make Improvements. or for
other purposes; or, if made to renew
a previous mortgage. what was the
debt originally created for?'
Some of these letters are not prompt
~ answered and some of them are not
answered at all. In such cases special
agents are sent to obtain the desired in

L ~
fact worries me a great deal.
IL The remark was made by gov
eminent clerk in reply to an inquiry as
to how he was getting on. Senator ret
tigrew. of South Dakota, smiled as he
said: "That would worry me, too. l
am never happy unless l am upwards OF
$50 900 in debt The man who can't get
in debt $4,000 or more can't do busl-
ness. Credit is necessary in all large
business transactions, and it is also
necessary in small business enterprises.
Fortunes are made only by those who
have large credit"
How do you ever pay your creditors
when YOU borrow such large sums? 1t
staggers me to think of being $4,000

81 pay back by making the borrowed
money earn more money. There are
very few people who realize that money
will make money faster than any other
thing on earth. 1t is because money is
such a money maker that money occu-
pies such conspicuous position in the
political commercial and international
procedures of the world. You get out
of money once; be absolutely without a
dollar, and you will find that this is a
cold, cruel and selfish world"
Unfortunately. this latter statement
Is known to be true by all who have eX-
perienced contact with the world I'M
der adverse circumstances. 1t is also
unfortunate.y true that majority of
the Young men Of this country do not
know the value of money: and they
learn its value sometimes all too late in
life.
ais there no secret place on the face OF the
earth,
Where Charity dwelleth. where virtue
hath birth?
Is there no place where a knock from the

You may search the wide world wherever
you can,
But find no door open to moneyless

Senator Pettigrew is not rich man,
ard never will be, because with the
money-making faculty he also has the
prodigality of youth. Although he may
not be properly charged with being like
unto Daniel Webster in every other re-
spect. he certainly is somewhat like
unto that great statesman in his ability
to accumulate Indebtedness; with this
difference: Pettigrew pays, Webster
didn't.
And. by the way. the census office
is trying TO find out why people borrow
money. The officials of that bureau ask

are more than rs years of age, and they
are being tabulated accordingly.
People, as a rule, have been perfectly
willing to tell whether they own the
houses in which they live, or whether
they are tenants, or burdened with
mortgages. This information when OBJ
tanned enables the census Office statis-
ticians to ascertain how many people
own and occupy their houses and
farms; how many are in debt for their
homes, and to what amount. Just why
this sort of information is collected
does not appear on the surface, but it
may prove to be of general interest and
of national value.
Some writer's on social economy claim
that indebtedness on home or farm
property is due to the poverty of the
people, and that in spite of rich soil,
and apparent prosperity, people are
growing poorer instead of richer. On
the other hand. It is claimed by emil
ncat people. like Senator Pettigrsw,
