BAIL FOR ANARCHISTS.
It Will Probably be Granted by Ha-
 beas Corpus Proceedings.

Chicago, Sept 13.-Emma Goldman and the other nine alleged anarhcists under arrest in this city, it is now be lieyed, will all have a chance to obtain liberty on bail when the habeas cor pus proceedings in Judge Chetlain's court comes up to-day. City Prose cutor Taylor has decided that there is no reason whatever for continuing to hold Isaak, Jr, the 19-year-old son of the elder Isaak, longer in custody. As no evidence has yet been received from Buffalo Taylor says that the present charges constitute nothing more than a misdemeanor and that the prisoners are consequently entitled to bail. He will, however, ask to have the bail placed at a high figure, possibly $15,- % or $20.000.
 Emma Goldman is not party to the habeas corpus proceedings, but Justice Prindeville has announced that he will be governed in her case by the decis- ion in the other cases and will fix her bail accordingly, if he nine men are admitted to bail.

The presidents condition. generally speaking, is far from satisfactory. IT the heart action be controlled and strengthened the crisis now existing should pass. Everything is being pre- pared for the worst. Vice President Roosevelt and all the members of the cabinet have been telegraphed for, and are expected here as fast as steam can bring them. When the sinking spell occurred about o'clock it was feared that he might expire at any moment. as he did not respond to ordinary stimulants. It was only when resource was had to the desperate resource of injecting saline solution, which saved the life of Mrs Mckinley in San Fran cisco. into his veins that the circula- ton grew stronger and after an hour he rallied somewhat His pulse at one time was almost 140, but the slight rally carried returning hope with it.

wheat Opens Lower and Rallies,
While Corn Holds Firm.

CHICAGO, June 25.-Wheat was dull and
lower on the 2GId decline at Liverpool
and heavier Northwestern receipts. There
was not quite so much pressure as of
late and the firmness in coarse grains and
covering by shorts tended to steady
prices, and late in the day a rally fol-
lowed, the closing being the same as last
night Paris was up 34q1c; Berlin and
Budapest were both quoted lower. Cash
sales were light. $1,000 bushels. The sea-
board reported Is loads.
Corn was firm under the influence of the
continued hot weather in the Southwest.
Local bulls were moderate buyers. There
was also some buying for Western ac-
count, although the advices from Illinois,
Iowa, and Nebraska are that the spell of
hot weather is just what is needed. Coun-

now ,0G0 bushels.
Heavy liquidation of July oats broke
that delivery badly and at one time they
latter were firm on large buying for both
local and outside account. Unfavorable
crop news is the bull motive.
Provisions opened higher with the hog
market, but quickly settled back on lib
eral offerings from floor traders, the de-
mand being rather light. Further local
selling, notably a long line of about 5000
uerceS of lard, caused a moderate de-
cline, the market closing steady. Specu-
lative dullness was against the market.
There was a good cash trade in picked

LOCAL BUSINESS NOTES.
Some Facts Regarding the Washing
ton Market ComnanY.

There has been more strength and more
appearance of interest in Washington
market stock recently than for some time
past. The bid price for the stock has ad
vanced to around 16 and none is offered
below ST a share. 1t is said that some
stock has changed hands around the
former level. Tips" to buy the stock are
heard, and it is whispered that some of
the brokers are attempting a bull cam
paign in 1t. In view of these matters
few facts regarding the affairs of the
company will be interesting at this time.
The authorized capital of the company is
$1,000 600, of which $4,000 has been paid
in. The par value of the stock is $50, so
that the payment of 10 per cent of the
capital was subscription of $3.50 on each
of the 20,OO0 shares. The bonded and other
indebtedness of the company is about
1886, 900. A dividend of 75 cents per share
or 10 per cent on the amount of paid in
capital has been maintained. and at the
same time a book surplus of fair size has
been created This showing IS a good
one, and the company has every reason
to be cheerful over it's outlook.
1t may be questioned. however. if this
good showing warrants higher price
for the stock than it is now selling for.
AT S15 a share it is selling at the equiv
aient of 200 for 800 par value stock. At
IS, the present price. it is selling where
the dividend return is somewhat less than
per cent on the investment. The boom
ers of the stock point TO the book surplus
and say that it should sell around 25 or
"a. or equivalent to 800 for a 500 par value
stock. They forget or neglect to mention
the important fact that the Government
may at any time now step in and ask for
the return of the lot on which the market
buildings are erected, and thus put the
company out Of business.
The charter of the company gave Ii
the right to occupy the public reserva-
tion on which il stands for thirty years.
The stipulation was made IN the charter
that at the expiration of the thirty years
the Government could compel the com
pany to move at any time. This period
has now expired since the charter was
granted. If the coming Congress should
decide to exercise its right, condemn the
market building. and buy ii up, at a
fair market price, it seems exceedingly
the 20e00 shares would be paid for it. in
addition TO the s350000 of bonds which
would have to be paid off before the
stockholders could realize anything. If
Congress should happen to be in an eco
nomical mood when it asks for the prop
erty it is very certain that no such price
will be paid. This rate would equal $780,
COO for the stock. which added to the
bonds. would make n total of $4,000. The
attempt of the market company recently
to float a new issue of low rate bonds
Ito take the place of the present issues
that are paying and 7 per cent inter
esD has failed The bondholders general
said, and but few subscriptions were re-
ceiVed.
