They Think Strong Wheat
Market Presages Heavy
Dealing in the Commodity
Conditions at Present
Time Time Regarded as
Most Promising for Such
a Moye-0perators Watch
ing Armour.


The unusual strength that is being
displayed in the wheat market at the
present time is causing considerable
comment on all sides, and many who
are interested in this commodity have
been looking up past records of bullish
wheat markets at this season of the
year and have arrived at the opinion
that the time is about ripe for some Of
the monied bulls on the Board of
Trade at Chicago to attempt to corner
the market.
The conditions at the present time,
II is claimed, are more promising for a
corner in wheat than they have been
for some time.
Even at the time when Joe Letter
made his famous corner the visible
supply was larger, and also there were
many more millions Of bushels stored
at Chicago, Minneapolis and Duluth
than there are at the present time
Observers believe that if some one
with considerable capital, and the abil-
ity to cope with such an undertaking,
concludes to corner the wheat market
he can do so.
Why Letter Failed.
They argue that when Letter corner
ed the market five years ago, he did
not use judgment. His start was all
right but his finish was woful in more
respects than one. The reason for his
failure was his lack of knowledge nee
essary to carry through such a stupen-
dous deal, and the result was that he
failed, when he should have come out
millions ahead.
There are many persons watching
the moves of Armour in Chicago at the
present time, and it seems to be the
opinion that he has some strong de-
signs on cornering the market He
has been making large deals lately, and
it is though, he may have number of
shorts" seeking cover.
The millers are not anxious to see a
corner on wheat for that would neces-
state an advance on -four which might
be temporary only, ard would tend to
decrease their output, but they are not
at all averse to seeing a strong, steady
wheat market, which is always the
CaroTeter for healthy flour trade.
The reason for this is, that when the
market is strong dealers fear that
prices may go higher and buy freely.
When the market is weak all are look
ing for lower prices and make small
purchases.

FURTHER TESTIMONY
AGAINST MINERS
Operators Give Further InstaIments of
Their Side of the Dispute.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan 16-
More mine officials today informed the
coal strike commissioners that under
the influence of the union the mine
workers restricted the production Of
anthracite coal and interfered with the
discipline of employees. The Erie COM
pany closed it's case early in the day
after calling physician, who testified
to the good health OF the mine workers.
The Scranton Coal company, which OPP
crates, besides it's own collieries, the
Elk Hill Coal and Iron company, took
up the attack on the demands Of the
miners. The Scranton and Elk Hill
companies turn their coal over to the
New York, Ontario & Western railroad,
which virtually controls them.
The witnesses called today testified
generally that no blacklist existed;
that the contract miners worked on an
average of from six to seven hours a
day; that the local unions compelled
the men to load an equal number of
cars. thus restricting the output; that
the men were careless in obeying or
derS and that frequent and petty
strikes occurred whenever a union man
was dismissed for insubordination. One
inside foreman, in his testimony, said
the employment Of a check Weighman,
insisted upon by the union, has proved
to be a good thing for the company
because the miners sent to the surface
cleaner coal.
The accountant for the Scranton
Coal company presented figures which
showed that since a check docking boss
was employed by the company at the
request of the miners, the dockage
against the men had been reduced
about one-half. The miners pay the
wages of the check weighman and the
check docking boss. 1t was also said
that the checkman had no trouble with
the regular weighman and docking boss
of the company. Superintendent May,
of the Erie company, testified a few
docking bosses was not practicable be-
cause the two men would not agree re-
garding the amount of dirt in car.

Certain French papers have lately
been deyoting much space in the effort
to prove that Gibraltar is no longer
the key TO the Mediterranean and that
modern steam-driven ships have de-
stroyed it's usefulness to England as
a fortress. On this account they are
warning Europe to watch closely the
designs Of perfide Albion on the op-
posite Moroccan coast. In reply to
this English papers are pointing out
that Gibraltar has never been the key
to the Mediterranean save in the sense
of a point d'appui for the Bcitish navy,
and particularly the Mediterranean
fleet While it is true that modern
guns might carry across the strait the
chance of hitting a warship in mo-
ton are all but nothing. 1t is no
longer regarded as anything more than
a supply station for the navy but as
such it is as important as ever Eng
land could not hope to command the
strait, even if she had fortresses on
the other side, without the help Of
her navy. There are thirteen miles
of water at the narrowest point and
no land guns could prevent feel
from passing through.
