Chinese Agriculture, Methods.

Mr.. Wildman, consul general at
Hongkong, in a communication to the
department of state few months ago.
stated that there is no market in
Southern China for American harvest
ing machinery such as reapers, now
ers, horse rakes, etc., nor for steam and
gang plows, seed drills and harrows
Mr.. Wildman said by way of explana-
ton: "The agricultural land of South
ern China is divided into small hold
lngs, many OF which are not over an
acre in size, and very few running over
10 acres. Every available inch of this
land is under cultivation, and the
planting and reaping is all done by
hand; where ploWs are used they are
OF home manufacture and are as prim-
tive as those Of Biblical times. The
majority Of the peasantry live at the
rate of from 2 to cents day, and
even If they could afford to purchase
modern American farming machinery
there would be no room to use It, The
nearest thing to such machinery that
l have seen in southern China is
tanning mill, which is easily con-
structed by the ingenious Ohinaman.
The grain is either trod out of tho
straw by water buffaloes or whipped
over an open tub. Even if an entire
village should combine to buy an
American thrashing machine, it would
be used but once. as it would be con-
sidered too wasteful both in the way it
mangles the straw and the grain and
in its expensive upkeep. In southern
China there are no horses except the
diminutive China pony, and, as the
agricultural country is mostly fiat.
there is no way to utilize water power.
AS for steam, it is an impossibility,
fuel being one of the most expensive
Chinese luxuries. AS long as labor has
| almost no value and flesh and blood
is the cheapest thing on the market.
can not recommend American mana-
facturers to waste good printed matter
and postage stamps on SO impossible
a field" .a

REPORT OF THE NEW
YORK STOCK EXCHANGE.
Railroad, Grain, and Produce, Wool
and Other Quotations-General
Review of Trade.

New York, Jan. 1.-The question of the
continuance of the animated speculation
into the new year was quickly settled
on the stock exchange today. The vol
ume of dealings fully equaled, if they
did not exceed, the recent very high
prevailing level. 1t was evident from
the buoyant rise in various quarters
that the orders were to buy at the
market" In such stocks as Pennsyl-
Vania and st. Paul the simultaneous
purchases at the opening today reached
10000 shares each, and in st. Paul there
was difference of ~ in the price paid,
the extreme rise in the stock reaching
2As. In other stocks, notably among the
trunk lines, Changers and Pacifics, there
were rises of ! to 2 points, and individ-
ual reaching as high as 1000 shares.
The London market foreshadowed
strength here, showing the hands of
New York buyers had been executed in
that market by cable, so as to anticipate
the rise here. The prominence of the
dividend-paying railroad stocks repre-
scented the excited redistribution of the
January dividends and interest for re-
investment. But this January disburse-
ment OF FUNDS has been steady in the
minds of spectators for several weeks
past, and the high opening prices in
duced heavy realizing. The consequence
was an immediate backward course of
the opening high level, and in some in
stances a drop to below Mondays clos

relaxed at the lower level, and spec
ulators showed their determine ton to
maintain their holdings for greater
profits. The immediate demand, how
ever, showed a distinct falling off, and
the market became queter in tone by
the end of the first hour than for many
Gays past. The general level of prices
was maintained at an advance over
Mondays level, and the principal points

A Popular Young Man of Butte
Passed Away Today.

thaler operators on the Miner, died at
the Sisters hospital this morning from
the effects of typhoid pneumonia, which

He came to Montana nine years ago

the starters of the Basin Times with Jim

foreman. Coming to Butte he was en-
ployed on the machines of the Inter
Mountain, but recently has been with the
Miner. He was a member of the Eagles

bable that the funeral will be held under
the auspices of these orders. He leaves
one brother in Kansas City. another in
San Francisco and a third in the Philip
pine Islands 1t is believed that he leaves
sister in Hutchinson, Kansas but this
is not positively known. Owing to his
steady habits he accumulated consider
able property the most of which is in
Butte His death is matter of sincere
regret to all who knew him.

the San Francisco Bulletin of Satur-
day says:
Mrs. Ella Knowles Haskell of Helena,
Mont, is the first woman lawyer from
the state of Montana, the first woman
assistant attorney general in the United
States, and she has received the largest
fee ever paid to a legal practitioner of
the gentler sex, which fee was $4,000,
for her services in a case involving val
uaDle copper and silver mines in Butte
City, in which James r. Haggn, the
multi-millonaire of California, was the
plaintiff. She defeated Mr.. Haggin's at
torney with flying cOlors.
''She is the only woman" says Joaquin
Miller in his, History Of Montana"
"who ever went to Washington as the
accredited representative of a sovereign
state on official business. This was in
her capacity as assistant attorney gen.
eral, and on this occasion she saved to
Montana school lands amounting in
value to 100000 appearing in person be-
fore the land office officials.
In 1891 she received the populist nom-
ination for attorney general. but was
defeated by Henry J. Haskell. republic

PETTY LARCENY.

William Moan was arrested by Officer
Curley this afternoon and booked on a
charge of petty larceny. 1t appears that
the proprietor of the shoe store at 10
South Wyoming street asked him to re-
main and watch the store while he step
ped out. Moan consented and H. Cole
man, an employee of the store who was
asleep back of the shop soon afterwards
found that his pocket had been picked
and that $14 was missing. He is of the
opinion that Moan took the money as he
saw the latter standing over him and
take something from the bed. The case
will probably be turned over to the
county attorney.
