A Good Rally in COtton-Wheat Low
er-Other Grains Firm.

A Good Rally in COtton-Wheat Low
er-Other Grains Firm.
The cotton market was quieter, but
with some fluctuations, the tendency
was upward. July closed "a points
higher at 9.03c, August q points higher
at S.7Oc.- The New Orleans market did
about the same. In the new crop
months prices gained only a few points,
owing to the. very favorable crop re-
ports from practically all sections.
The movement has now become so
small as to scarcely deserve attention.
The Chronicle makes the amount in
sight for the week $4,000 bales, of
which 81 900 is the conventional South
ern consumption credit; overload, 5000
and receipts from plantations only L.
900. This is about exhausted, and if
the Southern mills have not already
got the cotton they are to be credited
with for the next three months they
may find some trouble in getting it.
Nevertheless, unless there comes q
change for the worse in crop accounts,
it will require persistent manipulation
to sustain prices. OF course, however,
it is exceedingly dangerous to go short
on old crop deliveries, for the creation
of a large short interest would make
a corner almost certain. SplnnerS may
possibly manage to do without cotton
until the new crop comes in; but all
the big crops that ever were will not
be of any use to the holders of short
July contracts, on a squeeze.
Wheat was lower on a quiet market
with moderate fluctuations. Fine
weather was the principal weakening
influence, although unfavorable condi-
tons still prevail in the farther north
west. On Saturday the market weak
ened on the appearance of the bureau
report on the last crop, which is in
creased to 1888, 900, 900 bushels, which is
near about what the trade always t1g-
ured on, but some 60,000,00 bushels more
than the bureau had been previously
figured to Indicate. July sold as low
as 7234c, or &c. off from last weeks
close, but rallied later and closed at
73ssc. the decline causing an improved
export demand.
Corn and oats ruled relatively irmer
than wheat, with greatest strength IN
near positions. Both closed somewhat
higher than last week.
Wheat and corn seem to be good
purchase on easy spots. The next ou-
reau report will relate to spring wheat
as we'll as winter wheat, and the total
average must show far lower than last
year, with a heavy reduction in the
the spring acreage. 1t does seem a
little unreasonable to bear wheat on
a crop that is all gone. 1t only goes to
show that consumption is now larger
than had been calculated.

al been loaded into coal boats it would

has gone abroad that the output of
coal in the Monongahela valley last
year was the greatest in the history of

i vars when the output of coal was con-
eiderably greater. The remaining tom

freight originates in the Monongahela
valley when the size of the stream is
considered than on, any other stream
of equal size in the world.
Consul General Bordewich reports
from Christiania, Feb. %, 1902. that ac-
cording to the local press, experiments
are to be made with oil as fuel for
boilers at the government navy yards
AT Carliohansvaern, Horton. The atten-
ton of parties interested, says Mr..
Bordewich, has for some time been di-
rected to this question, as freight are
low and coal expensive. 1t is not be-
leved probable that the navy will
make extensive use of oil, because the
the pipe boilers are not adapted for
this kind of fuel; but it is thought that
the merchant marine will be able to
save considerable expenditures by the
employment of oil.

Scribner's Magazine for June shows,
of the times due to the latest advances
in knowledge and wealth of original
literary material-notably the two
great serials by the leading American
writer's, Richard Harding Davis and
F. Hopkinson Smith. THE New Ag
riculture," by W. S. Harwood, is what
the author calls glimpses into the
pages of a book of magic" Few people
realize that a thousand trained scien-
tific men are at work, and million
dollars are expended annually by the
government, to support the agricultu-
raj experiment stations in the various
states. Within the last decade the
work of these men, the results of which
are freely given to the public. has rev.
olutionzed many branches of agricul
ture and added millions of dollars to
the value of farm products in the
United States: This article for the
first time sets forth in popular form
these wonderful achievements. The IL
Illustrations show some of the expert
ments in progress. The article will be
an eye-opener TO those who believe
that agriculture has stood still while
other American industries have gone
ahead. Charles Scribner's Sons. New

The Chronicle, an insurance maya
zine, says:
John A. Mccall completes the tenth
year of his presidency of the New York
Life insurance company on February
y. Perhaps nc one a with the
possible exception of Henry B. Hyde,
has so Influenced life insurance as Mr..
Mccall. His personality has been a
propulsive force which has given the
New York Life a marvellous impetus.
Mr.. Hyde was the embodiment of in
diyidual energy. who by the force OF
his will and startling originality OF
ideas, built his company almost with
his own .hands. Perhaps the main
reason why the New York Life has
progressed so rapidly during the last
ten years has been Mr.. McCall's fac
ulty for selecting the right men for
the right places. This and his broad
administrative ability, his grasp Of de
tail and his talent for placing the mul-
titudinous mass OF his company's at

sively before he public, making him

THE @1REASURER'S REPORT
semi-Annuai Report Of the State
Treasurer Completed and Filed
with Governor.
Showing Of Receipts and Expenditures
of the State for Six Months
Last Past.
Large Balance in Permanent School
Fund, from Receipts from Sale
of School Lands.

The semi-annual report of State
Treasurer Mcmillan has been. filed with
Governor White, showing the receipts
and disbursements of the state for the
six months ending January /. The
statement shows balances in the var
ious funds of the state June 30, 1901,
of $247, $50. 81. The receipts during
the six months have been 5000, 34S. 80
from miscellaneous sources, $117,-
O95. At from taxes from counties to the
general fund of the state, $7,6G3 SO for
the payment of the asylum bonds which
are to be taken UP this year, $15 1904. So
to the bond interest fund of the state.
The receipts of state funds are differ
emily noted now than in former years
owing to the changes that have been
made in the method of levying tax.
Taxes for the educational institutions
of the state are now levied in a special
fund, and the expenses of these insti-
buttons are not now paid out of the
general fund but out of this special tax
fund, which is levied at the rate of one
mill on the dollar of taxable property
in the state. The semi-annual report
shows the first receipts to this fund
from the tax levied by the state board
of equalization, and the receipts cred
tied to the various institutions are as
follows: 49, 2.
State University, Cd. Forks S 2,351. 90
Agricultural College. :. . i. LIS. 50
Normal School, Valley City 7O5 "a
Normal School, Mayville -. 7O5 "a
Deaf School, Devils Lake. 764. OS
School of Forestry . . . -. 176. SO
The receipts to the general fund and
to the educational Institution funds are
small, for the reason that they are
from the taxes for 1901, which were
not due until November 1, and do not
become delinquent until February 1,
and many taxpayers are holding off
until the date for taxes to become de-
llnquent. The greatest portion OF the
state taxes will be received in Feb
ruary and March.
Receipts to the wolf bounty fund are
$5,969. 9S, and this amount of out
standing wolf bounty certificates have
been taken up by the state auditors
office.
There are still about $25, 600 of these
certificates outstanding to be paid be-
fore the wolf bounty slate will be
clean. Receipts of fines, penalties and
