THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Whcnt Closes FrnctiOnaIIy Higher
After Many Breaks.

CHICAGO. Jan. s.-Wheat ruled very
nervous all day, with large trade After
opening frmer, owing to steady cables
from abroad during the day, it declined
On heavy realizing. There were several
breaks and rallies, the market finally
closing firm l2c higher than last night
Liverpool reported their market as steady.
I'D higher for the day. Continental mar
kets were. generally lower Cash demand
all over the country was generally quiet.
Seaboard reported export demand there
quiet. with bids generally to 3 cents n
bushel below a working basis. General
sentiment continues bullish
Corn trade was light today and the
market was inclined to be weak but was
held up by the strength in wheat. The
close was quiet and unchanged TO ILc
lower than last night. Country offerings
were moderate. but cash demand was very
quiet both here and at the Southwest
Foreign markets were duh. Liverpool
closed l4d lower for the day. There was
no special feature TO the market TODAY.
Oats ruled very strong all day. with n
large trade. There was good buying by
longs, as well as liberal covering by
shorts. Country offerings were moderate:
cash demand good. There is Il large short
interest in the market.
Provisions opened easier with hogs but
advanced some on buying by the local
crowd. Enormous receipts of hogs of
much better quality are reported.

| der of the winter, or until April, this
| year and in every succeeding year.
There is nothing in the condition OF
the steel business to suggest that 1t is
any less prosperous than it has been, or
| that the end of its prosperity is near. AS
| for the lesser earnings of the company
| during the winter months, 1t is hard to
| draw an adverse opinion from this fact
! fairly. ANY business must have its slack
periods. The steel company is not COM
pairing December with December a year
ago. If it were. and decrease In earn
ings were shown. there might be some
cause for alarm.
A Boom I'm Sugar.
The news of the day, aside from the
steel statement. was meagre in the eX-
treme. The advance in Sugar was sharp
and important, the price getting up to
above 1923, after opening at 1879. There
was rumOr in New York that the Sugar
people have been assured of a lower
tariff on raw sugar from Cuba, and it was
said that some Washington authorities
had sent out such assurance" 1t was
also said that the Havemeyers We're ad-
vising their friends to buy the stock.
Sugar was one of the buoyant features of
the afternoon market
Short Covering in Union Pacific.
No reason for the advance In Union
Pacific was heard, except that a clique
of important people were said to have
bought the stock at an opportune time to
force large covering of shorts. The short
interest in the stock has been large.
The Winter Wheat Damage Small.
The dispatches telling of bad damage to
the winter wheat crop In Kazsas are
apparently without much foundation. Off
GERS of the Atchison company state that
while there has been some damage un
doubtedly, the area affected is small and
the total loss to the crop will not be i'm
portant. The Atchison people say also
mat the damage to the California orange
crop will be 4 very small matter as far
as their freights are concerned.

THE COTTON MARKET.
Rise Follows the Reduction OF Fig
ures ON Receipts.


NEW YORK, Ian. S.-The rise in cottor
was due largely TO natural reaction fol-
lowing drop of some 40 points. but il
was traceable also in no small degree to
reduced receipts and the smaller esti-
mates for Houston and New Orleans to-
morrow. Besides, Liverpool was a good
deal better than expected
Bulls insist that decided falling off in
the receipts may be expected in the near
future, and bears were plainly nervous
today Moreover. Wall Street interests
were said to be buying and buying by the
South was no slight factor in the trading.
The future prices hinge on the re-
ceipts. A sharp falling off would mean
IN all probability, substantial rise.
Whlie resumption of big receipts would
mean, 1t is argued. a material decline.
Nhile the arrivals were smaller today,
the TACT remains that they are far ahead
OF last year, the port receipts thus far
inns week being larger than for the whole
of this wek in 1901.
Inc market closed steady. with quota

Closing Strong and Active.

the features OF the trading. No gossip at
tended the movement in that instance, but
the rise in the stock was attended by a
sympathetic advance in St. Paul and in the
Railway list at large.
The United States Steel issues also recov-
cred quite sharply from their low point OF
the forenoon. The increased activity in
Southern Pacific, together with the ad-
vance IN that stock and the rise in Union

ginning OF dividends on Southern Pacific

The Bank Statement.

The banks have lest nothing to the Sub
Treasury this week, the account between
them standing practically even. The
banks have gained heavily in cash from
the interior. 1t is predicted that the
statement will be an excellent one this
week. Sterling exchange is easier and
there is no immediate outlook for gold
exports.

The anthracite securities generally were

Considerable inquiry has been
made by those who are interested as
to the reason why the payment of the
pension has been so long delayed.
An official statement has been made
concerning this matter and from it
we learn that many applicantions
have been received by the State
Board after the lists had been sent
in, the consideration of which has
greatly delayed tbe work. 'That
it is the desire of the State Pension
Board to pay'tbe pensioners just as
soon as possible, as they who are in
constant touch with them, know just
how great is their need of this help,
and every expedition possible is used.
There are over 5000 names on the
pension roll, among whom the $780,
600 appropriated for this purpose is
to be divided.

A Brilliant Wedding.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Peak, April 4.-Our unusually quiet
little town was all astir yesterday
evening. The occasion was the hap.
py marriage Of Mr.. James Haskell
Hope and Miss Margaret Violet,
daughter of Capt. Jno. G. Swygert, in
Mt. Hermon Evangelical Lutheran
church. For two days deft hands of
friends had been at work decorating
the church, and pretty appearance
indeed did it present On the evening
of the marriage. Pink and green
we're the colors used. In the pulpit
recess was profusion of pot plants
with huge banks of fern on opposite
sides. The arch and cbaDcel railing
were entwined with evergreen.
Arches and gates were constructed at
the ends Of the two alsles leading to
the chancel. Between these and the
recess was suspended huge arch, in
the centre of which was a bell Ct
decoration material, under which the
couple plighted their troth until death
doth them part.
Promptly at s 80 Mrs. J. G. Swy-
gert struck LoheDgrin's Bridal March.
Two little gate boys in pink and
green, Masters Carroll Swedenburg
and Linelle Suber, marched up the
aisles and opened the gates. These
were followed by four ushere, who
brought in he bridal party as follows:

1t has been developed that through
the inaccuracy of the Senate journal
of the last two days of the session
it could not be learned what Senator
Lieutenant Governor Tillman had
appointed as a men Der OF the legisla-
tive committee to check up the dis
pensary books and vouchers, so Sena-
tor Sharpe, who had been assured
that he would be re-appointed, was
notified by the clerk of the dispen-
pensary to attend the meeting Of
the examining committee, and arrived
in Columbia to attend to his duties.
On his arrival there Senator McDer-
mott, of Horny, appeared with his
credentials. In Withdrawing from
the work of the committee Senator
Sharpe expressed his regret to Sena-
tor McDermott, that there had been
a misunderstanding and SO the Incl

next campaigr

Colonel James A. Hoyt has an
nounced through his paper, the
Greenville Mountaineer, that he would
not be candidate for Governor in
the coming State primary. Colonel
Hoyt is the leader of the Prohibition
element in this State and is other
wise strong man politicallysnd con-
sequently this public announcement
of his determination not to enter the
race for Governor this year is of
more than ordinary interest and sig
nifcance in that it indicates that the
dispensary will not be an issue in the
coming campaign, and it also shows a
change in the opinions of those who
have heretofore bitterly opposed the
dispenssry law from principle and
other considerations. Now, if these
people will lend their assistance in per-
fecting the law with the same meas
ure of zeal and activity with which
they have fought il, many of the
evils now existing can be reduced to
a minimum if not totally eradicated.
The experiment is we'll worth the
trying.

In speaking of the curtailment OF
the campaign meetings, the NeWberry
Observer very forcefully says: ''There
is going to be campaign meeting in
about every county in the State,
whether the State committee appoints
it or not; and it will be for the con-
7enience of the candidates; as we'll as
the people, if these appointments are
made by the committee" Il then
clinches the whole matter by adding
that, $50 long as we have the State
primary the State canvass should be
continued. No candidate is COM
PEELED to attend the meetings unless
he wants to-" but give those who de-
sire to meet the people an opportu-
nifty to do so.

Wednesday, April 9, 1902.

The defeat of Senator Jones OF
Arkansas, for reelection was not much
of a surprise to those who have kept
pace with current events which have
forshadowed coming political policies
in national politics. In two national
campaigns Senator Jones has been
the head of the Democratic party
and in both instances he led the
party to defeat. He is one of those
leaders who believe in committing
his party to dead issues and handi,
Gaping the party by clinging to the
traditions of the past and trying to
do7etail them so as to fit present
ones. It is but natural that the pro-
gressi7e Democrats of Arkansas
should want statesman of broader
and more liberal views than Senator
Jones possesses to represent them in
the Upper House of Congress, and
while sympathizing with him at his
enforced retirement, we cannot help
but regard his displacement to be for
the benefit of the party and increases
the party's chances for success in the
next campaign.
