Vheat-There were further rains In
the Northwest, but better weather is pre-
strength early, but the unreSponSive cables
We're a handicap. The later action of the
market was heavy. Its recent action has,
on the whole, shown a tired feeling and
an indication that the bullish influences
have for the time being rather worn them
selves out. The accumulation of stock

put us on a different basis Speculative
operations are for the time being at least
no longer on the basis of No: j northern

clined to look for some further reaction.
Corn-t Sympathized no doubt with

but the prospect of better weather was
also a factor. The recent advance has
rather checked the shipping demand On
without tendency.
Oats-There is no special feature. Spec
ulatlVe operations are of a general char
acter. Its future action will be con-
troIled by the developments of the corn
crop. 49, 1t7-.

an improved export demand for lard at

We see no improvement in the character

quite favorable and helped the market.

FIGHTING TAKES PLACE.
Japanese Are Still Active About Port
Arthur.


Che Foo, Nov. 1S.-Fighting at Port
Arthur has taken place nightly since
the Japanese began their general as
sault on October rs, according to Cap
tain Ronberg. pilot, who was a pas
senger on the Russian torpedo-boat
destroyer Rastoronopy. The Japan
csc trenches, the captain says, are
closest to the forts on Rihlung and
Keekwan mountains and to other
forts on the northeastern group.
The sharpshooters of both sides, oc-
cupying the pits, converse with each
other and frequently make individual
.truces in order to borrow cigarettes
or to relieve their cramped limbs.
The Japanese are displaying great
energy in the construction Of trenches
and the mounting of guns.
All the steamers belonging to the
Russians, except the steel screw
tran sport Armur, have been sunk by
Japanese shells. The hospital ship
Angara, formerly a transport, has
been sunk in shallow water. The pa
tients are still on board the ship and
are comfortable. .'
The Japanese shells directed
against the harbor are fired with re-
markable accuracy. ..
One day last week hospital ship
moved too near the battleships in
the harbor, whereupon the Japanese
dropped small shells around her with
obvious purpose Of warning her away
The ship took the hint, and when she
was outside the zone of danger large
shells began falling near the battle
ships,

Washington. Nov. 17.-President

Frank H. Richards, United States mar

and has requested the resignation OF
Judge Melville G.. Brown of the
Juneau district. This action Is the re-
suit of the investigation of the Alaska

Attorney General Moody had a con-

at which the report of Assistant At

Of the Alaskan judiciary as they were

he made last summer was considered.
At the conclusion of the conference
Attorney General Moody made the an

The Investigation made by Judge

and counter chrges. He worked on
the case for many weeks, making a
special trip to Alaska to obtain in

COLD SlLENcES ARTILLERY.
Both Armies Are Inactive South Of
Mukden.

Mukden, Nov. 16.-Via Tien Tsin,
Nov. 1S.-Four days sharp cold has
silenced the artillery and infantry
fire between the opposing positions
and has driven the soldiers into their
dug-outs along the entire entrenched
lines. The apparent impossibility for
either side to eject the other from
their burrows, and the fact that in
the event one side succeeded in adj
vancing it could not dig the other out
Of its cantonments on accourf of the
frost, seems to promise a winters in
activity, although the Japanese, three
days ago, made small reconnaissance
on their extreme east and pus' q
back the Russian cavalry a few miles
as though they were Investigating
the possibilities for a thanking move
ment. 1t seems impossible that either
side in any case could more than OF.
cupy it's opponents winter quarters.
The wells along the lines are dry
and both sides use the Shakhe river,
where the soldiers approach unarm.
ed and get water under recognized
mutual sanction not to fire on a single
soldier. Here the noble art of war Is
confined to fisticnffs, and swapping
cigarettes, jack-kniyes and food, all
of which are priced. Familiarities are
inevitable where long lines are in con.
tinued contact. The armies have
been stationary for so long that they
are drawing supplies of fuel and
horse forage from the distant rear, all

Cold Storage for Apples.

The experiments to determine the
best processes for the cold storage of
apples are being carried on with
great promise OF success. In fact they
have already resulted In much benefit.

time 1t was thought that some of the
cellars under dwellings could be fit.

plants. Many cellars were altered at
considerable expense and plans OF

rant the labor and expense Of so keep.
ing apples or other fruit.
The University Of Illinois has OK.
tended Its scope so far as experiments
of this kind are concerned. The Farm.
ers' Review some time ago gave an
illustrated description of the cold stor.
age plant at Neoga, where about $500
barrels Of apples were kept from fall
till the next summer by the use of
about 100 tons Of ice. That was by
the use OF natural Ice alone, Expert.
ments are now being carried on to
determine the relative value OF ice
and mechanical refrigeration.
What is perhaps more important is
the determining Of the best tempera.
ture at which to keep each of the
varieties of fruit common to Illinois.
1t Is ascertained that the same degree
of cold is not best for Ben Davis
and a Grimes Golden, this having been
demonstrated both in the experiments
made in Illinois and by those made In
other states.
What kind Of q wrapper Is best for
fruit when the latter Is to be placed
in cold storage? This is a problem
worth solving and the station named
Is trying to solve 1t. Some people
say paper, others say sawdust. while
yet others would leave the fruit I'm.
covered but shut up In a tight recep.
tacle. All Of the opinions are based
largely on guesswork. The station
people are trying to get away from
that and are endeavoring to reduce
the matter to one Of exact knowledge.

NO iNTIMATIoN OF SURRENDER,
Port Arthur Is Apparently Far From
Beinu Taken.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 17.--There Is
no official confirmation at tnls hour
Of the reported blowing up OF the tor
pedo boat destroyer Rastoropny at
Che Foo. The understanding at the
admiralty has been that the vessel
would be hauled up on shore to pre-
vent repetition Of the Ryeshitelni
affair, and that she would be disarmed
in regular course. Officials here state
that nothing has yet been received to
indicate that there has been any other
procedure. There is no inclination to
blame him for taking any measures
that might appear to him to be neces-
sary.
General Stoessers report has not
been given out, but the Associated
Press understands that 1t contains no
request for instructions regarding the
surrender of Port Arthur. 1t Is inti-
mated that the report goes at consid-
cradle length into details OF the re-
cent fierce land fighting, but says that
the interior line of defenses remain in
tact. General Stoessel believes he
will be able to withstand the Japan
csc assaults for some time to come.
The blockade has been run by ship
with a cargo of war munitions, food
and hospital supplies. Some warships
in the harbor have been damaged by
shell fire, but not seriously. Many
guns have been removed from the
ships and mounted on shore, where
large drafts from the crews are TAX
