The wheat market show

a material advance during
Chicago.

and the advance appears warranted.
There were reports of good business at
the scaboard and large sales of wheat
and flour to so out later to Europe. Here
In America. and more especially i'll the
Northwest. sentiment has favored higher
prices for some time. But the foreign
markets Liverpool especially, would not
follow the advances on this side With
d good crop in sight in Argentina wheat
importers in Liverpool are slow to antici-
pate their wants, and will naturally hold
off as long as possible. During the week
there was evidence that there was wheat
needed abroad for immediate use. Ut
present it looks as if there would be de-
mand from Liverpool for good Ameri-
can wheat in any event, while if it should
develop that the Argentina crop is not so
large or the quality not so good us has
been figured upon. the demand for Amer

APPEAL FOR INCREASE.
Telephone Operators Want Maj. syl-
westerns Suggestion Adopted.

The District Commissioners have re-
ceived a communication signed by w. s.
Coghill, w. r. Killmon and Frank J.
Hewston, the telephone operators con-
nected with the metropolitan police de-
partment, requesting the District au-
thorities to favorably consider the recent
recommendation of Maj. Sylvester that
the salaries OF the operators be increased
from $50 to $75 month. The Commits
sioners are also requested to recommend
such increase to Congress.
In stating their duties and their rea-
sons for asking the increase the tele-
phone operators say:
I'VE are on duty, relieving one another,
the whole year, including Sundays and
holidays, such days amounting to about
two months per year and equaling four
teen months of service as compared with
the clerks and most of the employees
under the District government.
Second, being required to keep set
of books and to be able to be rapid PEN
men, our duties are mostly clerical.
Third. owing to the fact that all COM
munications between the members of the
police department., averaging 300 day,
some of which are confidential, pass
through the bureau, there is greater re-
sponsibility attached than there is to that
of a station keeper or desk sergeant, a
clerk of the house of detention, a mes
senger and many other employees who re-
ceive a greater salary than we do"

In answer to a complaint made to the
Commissioners by W. c. Dodge, relative to
the scattering of advertising bills, etc., in
the streets of Washington, Major Sylvester
has recommended to the District authori-
ties that it will be well to obtain necessary
legislation in order that such distribution
may be stopped by law. Major Sylvester
says so long as there is license law which
authorizes persons to do a business of this
kind, and the Police Court holds that the
placing of such advertising matter within
premises is legal he can see no radical
cure for the existing state of affairs, except
through the method suggested
Mr.. Dodge complained that day after
