IBY TELEGRAPH TRIBUSE.I
Chicago, Jan 4.-The war uncertainties were
sgain the factor In wheat but coupled with them
was the Armour attitude. At the outset there was
a break Of 124c IN wheat. because foreign advices
seemed a little less warlike. and because the ad-
vance In Wall Street securities indicated that the
security people felt little less fearful about war.
The May wheat which had closed on Saturday at
si5c. sold as low S5ssc at the opening. But the
excited condition was shown by the fact that the
market simultaneously 81 the opening sold at SIC
and et S574c for May. Armour was prominent IN
the trading. he was an open buyer on the breaks.
and while It not apparent where he was
selling the crowd assumed he had wheat for sale
through commission people at SIC and over. But
openly he was giving support all weak places.

The Cairo bulletin., 1904-03-16

At a meeting Of the special commit
+ tee held Monday night to consider the
subject of lighting the city, the mayor
made his long.looked-for report on the
subject Of cheaper light for the city
His conclusion seems TO have been
that in order to procure cheaper light
the cts must establish lighting
plant OF its own. But this suggestion
seems very impractical, in view of the
fact that the city is compelled to Dor
row money at interest in order 10 pay
its running expenses for the second
month OF the fiscal year Mr.. ], ;
Aisthorpc and ex-Mayor NJ, c, Wright
were present To represent the lighting
companies and the former made the
point that ii was unreasonable and IN
fair 70 expect the companies To con
tinue furnishing light to the city with
out a contract. while negotiations
were going on for other means Of pro-
yiding light. which might continue for
an indefinite period, The people of
Cairo are, of course, deeply inter.
ested in any plans or efforts which
aim to procure for them cheaper
light, cheaper water, cheaper ice
cheaper coal cheaper everything
that enters into the needs of their
daily life But they can not be eX
pected to regard with patience plans
and efforts which are lacking in the
essential merit of practicability and
which serve only to utterly demoral'
lie existing conditions even to the ex
tent Of casting the city into darkness
and its government into contempt for
failure TO pay It's debts.
