Export Inquiry for Wheat
Shows Falling Off.

As the result of a very dun and feature
less short session. both wheat and corn
closed with slight losses. As usual there
was some liquidation by timid traders, who
did not desire to carry their trades over
Sunday. Cables were only steady. and
there was little export business. Large re-
Ceipts caused liquidation in wheat early.

DULLNESS PREVAILS IN ALL
CHICAGO'S GRAIN MARKETS.
WHEAT CLOSED STEADY
MAY OPTION HIGHER.
Corn Is Dull, and Fluctuations in
Price Are Confined to a Mar
row Range.

Chicago. Jan. 1O-Duilness prevailed IN
all markets on the Board of Trade to-day.
and wheat closed steady. with May sc
higher. May corn and oats were also up
lsc. while provisions closed from a shade
higher to 2i205c lower.
WHEAT.
Wheat r.Iled quiet, but there was a firm
underton the greater part Of the day. al
though the market early experienced a
little easiness on favorable weather for the
movement. The news was rather favor
able 10 the bull side. and there were some
coverings by shorts and more or less buy
ing for long account. Reports OF heavy
rains in Argentina were the main strength
.uinE factors. although firm Liverpool
cables had some effect at the start. Inc
market was a very narrow one. and there
was little. change in prices. May opened
unchanged to lsc lower at I6lsdi4c and
ranged between I6lsc and 163sd16l3c, closing
isc higher at I63sc. Primary receipts Were
s36. %" bu. against sol. 100 hu. u year ago.
Minneapolis and Duluth reported receipts
of 31s ears, which. with local receipts of 81
total receipts for the three points of i21
cars. against 5S cars last week and sos cars
a year ago.
Corn was dull and fluctuations in prices
We're confined within an extremely narrow
r:.rse. The weather continued favorable
f"r the movement and the local crowd
seemed disposed to sell. but the offerings
We're well taken. There was a good cash
demand reported from the seaboard. which
was the principal bull influence. and which
caused j slight rally after a rather easy
openin :. due to lower Liverpool cables. The
elise was steady. With May sc lower at
427sa+ic. Local receipts were so cars. with
only | of contract grade.
OATS.
Oats ruled dull and a trife easier, due to
some extent to the early weakness in corn.
The volume of business was very light and
confined largely to local scalpers. There
was little change in prices and Nav closed
fsc higher at 3ii2c. after ranging between
%4Asm3il.c and 3iHsc. Local receipts were
l2 cars

UNITED RAIL WAYS PREFERRED

TRUST COMPANIES WELL
SUPPORTED.
Transit Closes Strong and General
Tone of Market Is Very
Bullish.

In the local market for securities the fea-
tare of Yesterdays trading was the sale of
II 1,NJ-share lot of United Railways pre-
ferred at Sl, after earlier purchases had
been made at ISL. p. The throwing of this
large amount of the stock on the market
threw something of a darnper on the bull
movement and values were easy during the
remainder of the session. st. Louis Transit
was strong at $9 and the 1 per cent bonds
easy at SS4. -.
IN the trust company group Missouri had
GOO support, with a range from Sl21.15 TO
Sii2A. Lincoln held firm at $3.50. Mercantile
trust was the strong spot at Sis, a net
gam OF 81 since the last recorded sale.

SENATE CHAMBER, Feb. II, 1908.
Mr.. II. b. SCUDDER,
North Yakima, Wash.
Dear Sir,-Iours of the 18th to hand
and carefully noted. Any irrigation bill
that comes before this legislature,
which in any way affects the peoples
rights or in any manner gives cor
porations control of water supply of
Yakima county, will be defeated if it is
in my power to do so, and if such bill
gets through its earmarks will show it
has been in a fight.
We have waited long on this matter
and we can wait another two years and
take time to consider and enact such
laws as will protect all parties.
This is a vast question to act on
hastily.
We want and need storage reservoirs,
but we want all rights protected, and
until ! am convinced that such safe
guards are thrown around any legsla-
ton affecting the water supply of our
county, | will oppose it with all my
power. Respectfully.

no more and no less. Each one of these
80 contracts will have an equal interest
in 70 lots that we are putting up, and in
% months each contract will have an
equal interest in IS houses that will be
built on these IS lots, or in other words
each contract will own | y homes, which
will be worth at least 81 800 to 81 500,
and this is what il will take to get and
carry one of these contracts, $3.50 down
and $45 per month for % months. This
amount of money from 30 contracts, all
put together into one fund as building
fund will enable us to build about three
houses per month all equipped with
sewer, water and cement sidewalks.
Now does any one have to stop and con-
slider very long to see that holding one
of these contracts is a good investment.
We can save money on every turn. We
make a big saving in buying the
material in large quantities. We make
very big saving in labor in having
from four to six houses under way of
construction at one time, and then the
increase in the value of property in
portion of the city that will be built up
that way is worth the investment alone
in lump sum on the start. But the
way it is paid in on one OF these con-
tracts gives man with limited means
a chance to invest and get as good re-
turns as a man with his thousands. Any
one wishing to investigate this farther
can do so by calling at my office.
