PRICES ALL
GO ONE WAY
BuIIish Sentiment Makes
Wheat Rise With Strength.
CORN SHOWS SOME LIFE
Provisions Experience Fair
Trade for Better Prices.

Chicago, Feb IA bullish sentiment
prevailed in both grain and provisions
today and on favorable foreign advances
wheat closed strong, with May 11sc high
er. May corn was up 1s@4sc, and oats
were 7tG1c higher. Provisions closed
! firm with the May products up from ~
/ to 15c
Wheat showed decided strength and
volume or trade was fair. The opening
was strong on higher cables with May
to asc higher at 79AG7s1kc. Everythi..
seemed to favor the bull side. the outside
market being strong and a good export
inquiry being reported at the seaboard.
| Under these bullish conditions short
covered freely, which aided in advancing
prices still further. report from San
Francisco showing an advance there of
lac was one of the principal factors in
the upward trend of prices while IL
strength in coarse grains also aided the
advance. Toward the end of the session
the demand became so urgent that May
sold up to S0l4c and the close was
oolsIS914c, a gain of 1ul1sc. Clearances
of wheat and flour were equal to 1850
bushels. Primary receipts were sos, 900
! bushels, against 10000 bushels a year
ago. Minneapolis and Duluth reported
receipts of 401 cars. which with local re-
ceiptS of % cars of contract grade,
made total receipts for the three points
of 43f cars. against $50 cars last week
and 301 cars year ago.
Corn was more active than for some
time Bnir
sion house demand. while scalpers also
bought literally. with offerings rather
light. Firm cables, a fair cash demand
and strength in wheat were the main bull
influences and no change was noted in
the car situation. The close was strong
with May 12G5sc higher at 452sd4512c,
after selling between 447sG45Ikc. Local
receipts were PSI cars with none of con-
tract grade.
Oats were directly influenced by the
decision of the arbitration committee
making the settlement price in the July
oats controversy size This led shorts
to believe that the settlement on the
board favored those who manipulated the
market during the summer and in view
Of the fact that present indications point
to another attempt TO manipulate prices

grains also aided the bulls. There was
some realizing by prominent holders. but
the market held decidedly strong and the
close was at the top for May at CSC, a
gain of 7sq1c. The range for the day
was between &c and CSC. Local receipts
were 166 cars. .s... -... ---..

Cattle.

T he week closing last night was a
good one for cattle s, Hers on this mar
Let. Butchers cattle Were in demand
and buyers for stockers and feeders were
numerous. This class of cattle sold very
strong to higher and a great many stock
ers were sent TO the county. The To-
cal buyers all winter have been holding
all the stockeTs and feeders they c"uid
get. and very few of them have been
shipped from this to other markets. This
manner of doing business encourages
buyers to come here, and they generally
have been able TO get what they wanted.
There was almost no business in the cat

light receipts.

REPUTATION of Reports That Nicholas
Is Depressed.

Paris. Jan. 30.-Again comes a refu-
tation to Paris concerning the mental
depression of the car It is reDorted
that DR.. Leo Berthenson, private physi-
clan to the car and czarina, recently
substantially said:
LAS to the cars alleged mental de-
preston because of the lack of male
neir. that story is a bold fabrication
There is not a happier couple in the
world than the car and czarina- Nicn-
olas makes a goddess of his wife. and
is as fond of his little girls as if they
were boys.
ITO his fireside. his wife, his children
the czar devOtes every minute of the
day that he can spare from the affairs
of state, and her majesty is seldom fan
away from his WorkrOOm. If business
Of state keeps him up at night, the en-
press is usually found near the Imperial
desk, and if the work promises to be
long, their maiesties may be seen steal
ing into the apartment where the little
grand duchesses sleep to look at the
little ones every little while
Il can scarcely bring myself to talk
on the condition of the czarina. The
empress enjoys the good constitution OF
the well-bred German woman, and is as
robust and alert as her late grand
mother, Queen Victoria. was in her
young days.
AS 10 that male heir about whom
certain papers are so much concerned,
why, the car and his wife are young
people and have not given up hope that
a son VIII be born to them. There IS no
reason why their union should not be
blessed with son by and by

LARGEST IN UNITED STATES.
Railroads Will Spare No Expense on
Kansas City Depot.

Railroads Will Spare No Expense on
Kansas City Depot
Speaking of the Kansas City union
depot plans, General Manager II. y
Nudge of the Santa Fe says:
Il can say positively that the project
is near a successful conclusion. And
when the depot is completed it will be
the finest and largest depot in tee
United States, bar none. There never
has been any limit as to the amount of
money to be expended. This is a Sec
ondarv consideration in this PROPOSE
ton. And when I say this, 1 voice the
sentiment of all of us that the very
best station that can be designed be
built in Kansas City. We propose to
have the money fit the station. not to
build a depot under certain apprO-
priation We Will adopt plans for a
thoroughly adequate structure, one that
will accommodate an indefinite number
of railroads for half century and tho
money to build it Will be forthcoming
no matter what the cost. 1t will be
larger than the St. Louis station and
will be more handsome structure
from an architectural standpoint and
will be the most up-to-date depot in the
world. We do not want TO make haste
in a matter Of such Importance.
I'VE have worked slowly and careful
" and arr about to set the seal Of
final approval upon the plans which
have been SO long in contemplation.
An immense amount of work has been
done in connection with the project
The engineer employed by the union
depot directors has had surveying par
ties run lines over every available site
Many plans have been considered and
rejected as impracticable. / had some
plans of my own which I had to ac-
knowledge, very recently, were not
suited to the purpose"
IS THE 22D STREET SITE OUT OF
IT?
This statement is particularly sig
nificant in view of the fact that Mr.
Nudge was until the day before the
meeting in St. Louis an ardent cham
pion of the proposed site at Twenty
second street and Grand avenue.
st. Louis is regretting its present
union depot because gifts inadequacy,"
added Mr.. Nudge. We are going to
in St Louis Outside of the suburban
traffic Kansas City has more trains
than St. Louis 1t is only the adequate
facilities that have prevented the de-
Velopment OF suburban traffic in Kan
sas City. AS the city continues to eX-
pand the Kansas City railroads VIII
adopt suburban service. We want to
build to meet all these demands When
we adjourned Monday It was to meet
in two weeks. But I doubt if the plans
which are in course Of preparation will
be completed by that time.
THE proposition to build a depot II
Kansas City has not been so large as
it has been complicated, but it is work
ing out and the end is very near"
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1903-01-30

often are placed in charge Of a single
crew of men. In great emergency
they are as incapable of handling such
a train on a grade as so many ants
would be- There is a popular belief that
the engineer can control a train with
the air brakes and by reversing the en-
CINE He cannot, but If he could and
was able to bring a train running at,
say twenty miles an hour, to a sudden
stop. as many persons who are not
familiar with railroading believe can be
done. the result would be wreck as
serious as if that train ran against a
stone wall. The impact would be the
same, causing the cars to pile up on
each other And what can two men do
with the hand brakes to stop such a
train2 They are as nothing
There is danger at any time that a
train viii become uncomfortable and
then it is purely luck if other trains
are not on the track and a collision is
avoided"
Omcials of the road say that being
short of motive power and with sucn
great volume of business to handle,
there is no way to escape the long
trains Yet it is known that plans are
being devised for changes in schedules
and dispatching trains that viii make
some reform.

ton Company Not Ended.

Great Bend. Jan 3O.-The adjourned
term Of the district court met in session
here to dispose of the application made
last November by the attorney general
for a receivershiD for the Ditch and
Cheyenne Lake Bottom company. The
company has not complied with the law,
in that it failed to make reports. It
owed debts and there were troubles ga
lore between individuals connected with
the company. Then the state charter
board Cancelled the charter and the at
torney general asked for the receiver
ship. 1t was the general understanding
that if the company would comply with
the law and pay its outstanding indebe-
edness the application for a receiversl7ip
would be Withdrawn and its charter re-
instated
It's affairs seemed to have been AMIGA
bly, arranged. the attorney general had
filed in the district court here motion
for dismissal of application for a re-
ceiver and people thought the troubles
were all ironed out. But Koen had an
other card UP his sleeve. he sought to
play Friday. When court convened
kOen filed q plea of intervention. set
ting up all the facts as related by the
attorney general in his motion for 2 re-
ceiver and adding that he. Koen, had
promoted and built the ditch and alto
