HAS WHEAT coRNERED.
His Holdings Of May Option Places
Traders at His Mercy.

A special to the New York Times from
Chicago yesterday says: J. Ogden Armour
today holds the wheat situation Of the
country in his grasp.
With the purchase today Of 1000 900 bush
els Of the May option he completed line
of 20, 100000 bushels. which practically gives
him control and places all traders in the op-
ton at his mercy. This wheat is bought In
Chicago and throughout the markets of the
northwest.
Armour's profit, were he to unload now,
would be $1,OQO.OOO He can force the price
up so that his profit will be from 100000
to 100000.
Armour began buying at IS cents. The
price advanced steadily until this morning
it reached S1ss cents. a cent higher than the
close last night
Armour began buying today at sos cents
and the bulk Of the 100000 bushels he
took today was at that figure. The shorts
all over the country are trembling lest this
king of the wheat pit unload his high price
while he is trading in the open. Some ex-
pect to see the figure go as high as 80 cents
through the clever manipulation of Armour.
Were this to be the case. his profits would
not be less than s., 100000.

M1CHIaAN's LUMBER INDUSTRY.
A Wonderfully Active and Productive
Condition.

'"The lumber industry in Michigan shows
a wonderfully active and productive condi-
ton at this time. considering that the 1um-
bering industry in some sections Is dying
out, as compared to what it once was"
said Albert r. Carter Of Detroit at the New
Willard.
IAN Of the larger companies doing busi
ness at the mouth of the Menominee river.
where I have plant and which draw their
supply of logs from the valley OF the Me-
nominee. are pushing the work with great
vigor.
1.-THE conditions in our section at present
could not be more favorable. The quantity
of snow is barely enough to level up the
roads in the swamps. and the temperature
is right to hold the ice roads perfect. The
cedar branch Of the industry, which has
received much more attention the past year
by all operators, Is being pushed as it never
was before. 1t may be said with almost
certainty that with another month Of equal
" fair conditions quite the usual amount
of various timber products will be harvest
ed and much more than the usual amount
landed at the various mills as the railroads
are brought more and more into requisition
as the uncut timber is farther and farther
away from the streams. and the result Is
larger portion of the logs are moved d.
rect1y to the mills and are not dependent
upon certain drive,

Der the first factory that started the manu-
facture of pearl buttons in the United

"The introduction Of fish in either tho in

stocking Of the Potomac as well from the

protection of fish In the waters OF

COUNTY CONTEST CASE.

The county contest case is resolving
itself into a proposition that will en-
compass the ideas of l.. A. Thurston
and will, If not safely guarded, defeat
the real will of the people. 1t is plain
ly the intention of those doing the
loudest bowling to defeat county gov
ernment. 1t is plainly the intention OF
those projecting the contest to knock
out the county bill. They are urging
a contest of the kind now under way
in the belief that it will result in the
County Act being knocked to smither.
Gems and that the old system of com
pact" rule will continue to prevail. No
other motive can be discerned beneath
the shallow veneer of this strenuous
ness" of the opposition in getting the
question before the court.
