WEEKLY MARKET.LETTER.

49,
The following letter is furnished by
Edwards, Wood &. Company, Commits
sion Merchants, 10 Chamber of Com
merce, Minneapolis, 80 Board of
Trade, Duluth.
The market the past week has been
interrupted by a two days holiday and
of course affected with the usual holt
day dullness at home and abroad. The
statistics for the week are of mixed
effect but chiefly bullish. There was
a small increase in the visible supply
but the figures are still some 9,00O,-
600 bushels under those Of last year.
There was another large decrease in
the amount on 9 passage which is
now about ~, 600, 900 bushels, or 49,
900, 900 bushels less than at this time
last year. Western primary receiI is
last week were fair. but for this week
showed a sudden drop which we pre-
dicted ten days ago. Primary re-
ceipts for today r only 4e7. 900
bushels. Price changes have been
very small as we expected at this
time. May wheat is o at the same
price it was a week ago and two weeks
ago. A feature Of the week is the
selling out of Patterns line of 2,OOO,-
900 to 6, 900, 900 bushels of May wheat.
As we told you some time ago the
existence of this line was the chief
obstacle to the advance of prices by
the leading long interests which feared
too much company, and the closing
out of this line leaves the market in a
very much better position to advance.
The final government report on the
crops of 1902 is out. It meins the c1o9
of winter and spring wheat almost
exactly what as long ago as May and
June we estimated it would be, viz:
$40, 900, 600 bushels. The report makes
the are of winter wheat, and also
spring wheat, about the same as has
been estimated, respectively, 1881.
OOO and II, 621, 900 acres. The report
may be construed as bearish because
it makes the crop larger than it was
popularity supposed to be during the
last three months, but it shows a crop
rs, coo, 900 bushels less than that gro"n
in the year 1901, and the difference in
the visible supply and amount on
passage between this year and last
will easily make the amount 100, O00,
600 bushels. We think wheat is cheap
enough and if, the market sells off of
this report, as it may do temporarily,
we strongly advise purchases. Area
and yield of corn and oats agrees very
closely with the last government res
port. TIE yield Of cor is made g.
5s3, 900, bushels; Of oats, 987, s4a, 900
bushels; rye. a3, $50, 900 bushels;
potatoes, 80, 633, 900 bushels; hay, &c.
957, 900 tons.

vice and experience in that great body
of law makers. He is of untold value
to North Dakota. There is absolutely,
therefore, no logical reason why he
should not be returned. If the state
legislature is wise, and it is a safe
guess that it will be, there will be no
question of Senator Ransrough's re-
election.

Headache may be called a woman's
ailment. Some men suffer from it. But
almost all women have to endure its
pain with each recurring month. This
fact points at once tosthe intimate rela-
ton between the health Of the delicate
womanly organs and the general health
of the whole body. Every woman
ought to know and understand that the
standard of general physical health can
not be higher than the standard of the
local health of the womanly organs.
When there is irregularity, inflamma-
ton, liberation, a facilitating drain Or
female weakness, the entire nervous

American Sheep Breeder, Chicago:
A new senator is to be elected during
the coming session of the North Da-
kota legislature to succeed Hon. H. c..
Hansbrough, the present incumbent.
The only competitor of Mr.. Hans
brough for the honor, so far as appears
on the face of the canvass, is Mr..
Hanna, Of Fargo, a nephew Of Senator
Mark Hanna. From u point of
view there is little reason why Sena-
tor Hansbrough should not succeed
himself. He has done more to give
North Dakota honorable distinction
through this Office than any other
man who has yet represented that
prosperous young commonwealth in
the upper house Of congress, and has
the experience, standing and influence
to be worth any half dozen new mem
.bers Of that body. He is all right
on the question of a wool tariff, is
pronounced on the shoddy question,
and should have the united support of
North Dakota wool growers. AS the
author and champion of the irriga-
tion bill, he is strong throughout the
west, and with a clean senatorial re-
cord on all questions of correct pub
lie policy is clearly the man of all
men to succeed himself. This is not
the time for senatorial experimenting.
North Dakota has a mighty good re-
preventative in Senator Hansbrough
and should keep him where he is, at
least until new senatorial timber is
more in evidence than now.

DECEMBER POSTAL RECEIPTS.
Increase in Business in This City Was
112 Per Cent.

The monthly statement of the receipts of
the fifty largest post offices in the country
for the month of December was issued by
the third assistant postmaster general this
morning. According to this statement the
receipts for the month for all of these
offices amounted to s5,s7l ,s22, while the re-
ceipts for the corresponding mo0th last
year were ST. 134, ,5S7, showing an increase
of 14.2 per cent, or ,235. The receipts
for the Washington post Office were $93 ,74j,
while those of last year were sS4, ,2S4 an
increase of 11.2 per cent, or $9,461. The
greatest per cent of increase noted was
in the post Office at Dayton, Ohio, where
the receipts showed an increase of 1873 per
cent over that of last year. The amount
of the receipts at Dayton last month was
32,514, and the corresponding month in
1901 was 24.296 the increase being $S21S
Los Angeles, Cal, comes next. with an in
crease of :32.4 per cent the receipts being
1862, SI6.30S; 1901, $54 1863; increase, $11,963.
st. Louis shows an increase of 81 per cent,
and the three largest cities, New York,
Chicago and Philadelphia, note increases
OF 10. So and 1913 per cent, respectively.
The only city which showed a decrease
was Troy, N. Y, where the general dis
trbutng agency for postal cards has re-
Gently been abolished. The decrease noted
was % per cent. The showing of the re-
port this month is regarded as remark
able. because of the general increase in the
receipts throughout the country. The
statement from Troy can hardly be taken
as an evidence of decrease in the actual re-
cefpts of the office, because the postal card
agency recently abolished helped to swell
the receipts of last year, while nothing
of the kind was at hand this year and
the statement given is that of money re-
ceived in daily business

CROSS BILL AGAINST w. U.
New Phase Of the Pennsylvania Com
pany's Fight.

PITTSBURG, Pa, January IA new
phase of the legal battle between the West
ern Union Telegraph Company and the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company developed
today when the Pennsylvania company filed
court against the Western Union Telegraph
Company. The cross bill alleges that
partnership has existed between the plain
tiff and defendant for years, and the court
Is asked to declare that all contracts and
agreements between the defendant and
plaintiff terminated and ended as Of June
2, 1903; that an accounting be had and a
decree made fixing and determining the re-
spective rights and standing of the planting
and defendant in and to the property con-
stituting the lines of telegraph which are
the subject matter of this litigation
The court is further asked to declare
that the Western Union Telegraph Conn
pany has no right or authority to occupy
any portion of the property of the Penn
sylvanfa under the acts of Congress The
court is asked to grant perpetual injunc-
tion restraining the defendant COMPANY
from In any manner using occupying
the property or any portion thereof of the
plaintiff after the I'd day of June 1903 and
from interfering with the plaintiff in re-
moving the property from all of the lines Of
the defendant company If deemed neces-
sary.
The Pennsylvania company also filed an
answer and demurrer in the previous case
asking that the portion of the agreement
that no other company or individual he
permitted to build or operate telegraph
line along the right of way Of the railroad
company be declared void and Illegal be-
cause 1t was intended to create a MONOPOLY

HURT IN A FIST FIGHT.
Midshipman Pearson's Jaw Not Broken
by Hazers.

Superintendent Brownson of the Naval
Academy has reported privately to the
Navy Department that after an investiga-
tion of the case of Midshipman Pearson of
New Hampshire, who is suffering from u
broken jaw, he found nothing to indicate
that Pearson received his injury a result
of haZing. or 'funning,' as they call it at
the academy All the evidence obtained by
Capt. Brownson tended to show that young
Pearson was hurt in an ordinary fist fight
with another midshipman.
About dozen midshipmen have been con-
fined to the Naval Academy guardship on
a charge of supposed connection with the
Pearson hazing. Most of those confined are
members of the third class, and if the re-
suit of the investigations now going on JUS
titles it, regular charges will be brought
and court martial convened.
Investigation of the alleged case of hazng
of Midshipman Pearson will probably not
be pressed further, the authorities al An
napolis and the navy being convinced that
the injuries received by the midshipman
were not the result of unfair play. Super
intendent Brownson of the Naval Academy,
who has actively run down the various re-
ports to haZing at the academy, had a
long conversation by telephone with Ac. ing
Secretary Darling of the Navy Department
this morning in regard to the Pearson case,
and the facts do not bear out the allega-
tions that have been made against Mid
shipman Gleason and his classmen.

AMENDMENT FAVORED
FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE
TAKE UP CUBAN TREATY.
Action Taken, It is Claimed, Will In
sure the Support of Practically
ALI Republicans.

The Senate committee on foreign rela-
tions today agreed to recommend the adop-
ton of an amendment to the Cuban reci-
procity treaty providing that the reduction
of 20 per cent in the tariff on Cuban sugar
shall not be further reduced by any prefer
entail rate given to another country. Inls
action was taken at the instance OF thS
beet sugar men.
Today's meeting also served to develop
objections to other features of the treaty.
Senator Taliaferro of Florida made an
argument before the committee urging
amendments 10 the provisions relating 70
tobacco and cattle, and Senators Bacon ana
Bailey, both democratic members OF the
committee. indicated opposition to the
treaty on other grounds.
Senator Bacon offered an amendment
placing the Cuban treaty on the same basis
as other reciprocity treaties with reference
to the House of Representatives, but the
amendment was not acted on.
Senator Bailey took positive ground
against the policy of securing reciprocal re-
lations with other countries by means OF
treaties. He said that such a course is un-
constitutional in that it is an interference
with the authority vested in the House OF
Representatives to originate all tariff legis-
lation.
The amendment agreed upon is in the
shape of proviso attached to the eighth
article of the treaty, and is as follows:
''PrOVlO6O, 1ndC While tIlS COuN SHllOH
in force no sugar being the product of tha
soil of the republic of Cuba shall be eX-
ported from said republic 10 the United
States at a greater reduction OF duty tnan
20 per cent below the rates prescribed by
the act of July "a, 1897; and provided fur
ther, that while this convention is in force
no sugar shall be imported into the United
States from any other foreign country at
lower rate of duty than that imposed Ey
the act of July "a, 1897.
The committee did not reach a vote on the
motion made by Senator Bacon to strike
out article six of the treaty exempting
American tobacco from preferential rates
given by Cuba to American articles.
1t is claimed that the adoption of the
amendment relative to the reduction on
sugar will have the effect of insuring the
support of practically all the republican
sena tors. The opposition to striking out the
provision regarding tobacco was because
of the plan on the part of the Cubans that
under it American tobacco might be ship
Fed to Cuba and than exported from that
island as Cuban tobacco. If Senator Ba-
cons pending amendment should be adopt
ed the treaty would not become effective
until it should be acted upon by the House.
That amendment reads: This treaty shall
not take effect until the same shall have
been approved by the Congress"
Senator Bacon was speaking in support
of this amendment when the committee ad-
journed. There will be another meeting
tomorrow.

A CARRIAGE CONTRACT.
Charges Against Collector Thomas of
PHILADELPHIA,

An airing of customs department linen
is promised in Philadelphia, If charges
made against Collector Thomas are taken
up and proven to be true. The collector is
in Washington now to explain his cancella-
tion of the carriage contract made several
months ago by the government with Young
& Co. Of Philadelphia. The contractors
who have been hauling the government
stores to and from the bonded warehouses
claim that Mr.. Thomas took the job away
from them without cause or due notice,
and gave it to another firm that Stands"
better in his estimation. Mr.. Thomas as
serts that the service rendered by Young g.
Co. was not up to the standard required by
the department and that the contractors
did receive the notice due them to improve
or abandon the work. AS they did not i'm
prove the contract was taken away from
them,
