UNAVOIDABLE WEATHER
Wheat Active After the First Hour, With

trade. September wheat closed 4Bc high
TENDER corn closed &c. September oats
Ac and January provisions from Be to

Wheat was active after the first hour
of trading and the undertone was ex-
ceedingly strong. Unfavorable weather
combined with the great anxiety of shorts
to cover contracts were the main
OF bushels were covered in the pit today.
The September option was the most act
i've, although there was good buying of
other months. September opened I'M
changed to sc higher, at 75B @751ac, and
advanced sharply. The close was at the

Strength in Corn.
Strength in wheat and rains throughout
the corn belt impaired strength to corn.
Shorts in the September delivery became
anxious, and in their endeavor to cover
their contracts prices We're advanced with
a rush Offerings were light and came
from scattered sources. September corn
opened Ac lower, at sec, but there was
steady advance to 6215c, with the close
&c higher. at 62Ac. December opened 80

December by the local crowd. December

low point was reached at 3O1sc, from
which there was slight rally, and the
close was Be higher, at S0%c. Local re-
celpts We're 265 cars, with SO of contract
grade.
The feature to trading in provisions was
the covering of September and October
STUFF by locals, which raised the price
OF these months, and January held steady
IN sympathy with the strength in nearby
deliveries. January pork closed sc high
er at $15:1O; lard was TIC higher at

is in line with the strength in wheat and
the higher prices now ruling for cash
wheat. Flour demand is good, and large
orders have been entered, although the
foreign inquiry has been lessened in some
degree by the recent price advances.
Millers have not yet considered the mat
ter of the revision of prices in the event
of labor trouble. While it is conceded
that a strike here would mean higher
prices for flour in general. the millers feel
confident of satisfactory settlement and
are not as yet advancing prices in an
ticipation of lessened production. For

Albany Feb II (SpeciaD--The completion Of
the assessment rolls in nearly all the counties
Of the State shows a total valuation of property
amounting 10 81. 7,s4 429, 80 an increase Of
about S67. 900 900 over the valuation Of 1901
Governor OdeI estimated in his annual mes

by the legislature all direct State taxation
would be abolished except that Of thirteent-
hundredths OF a mill required for the payment
of the canal debt.
The increase Of the valuations would reduce
that tax to pay the canal debt TO twelve-hun-
dredths Of a mill which. if the only i'm
posed. would be about the lowest tax rate in
the history of the State. There is sufficient
surplus in the State Treasury 10 abolish direct
State taxation this year but it is considered

merely for the payment Of the canal debt might
be imposed.
Considering that New-YOrk City pays about
81 per cent Of the entire direct tax OF the State

low rate OF taxation. In other words, last year
