The statute now fixes the salary of
the superintendent of insurance at
$4,000 year but for years the legiS-
lature has appropriated $4,000 a year
for the salary of the superintendent
and the superintendents have received
the full amount appropriated. The
bill was introduced to legalize the pay
ment of $4,000 and the. two clerical
positions not provided by law.
I am against such practices" said
Senator Young. Il am against this
means of raising the salaries of state
officers in this manner. The salary of
this officer is $4,000 as provided by
law but for years the ways and means

this has been done we are asked to

WHEAT-There has been a quick drive
| in the May wheat at Chicago and the
price was forced down nearly &c a buShel.
In the weakness stop loss orders were un-
covered and it looks like a preconcertec
plan on the part of the big holders of May
have been following the buying side since
the price left s113l1. The slump was
seemed to know what had happened. In
my opinion this is the place to buy, May
wheat. Buy it always on the weak places,
the weakest that you can find and you
will always make money on this crop.
There seems to be generalization going

me eat nlaces on the 1904 crop but those
who had the courage to buy have always
been rewarded with good profits. Contract
stocks of wheat are gradually decreasing.
The people must eat their way out The
Minneapolis Market Record says: Sup
plies in all positions in the northwest, in
ers, exclusive of 100000 bushels of. seed

but los 049, COO head January l, 1903. The
elevator interests keep telling us the 1904
crop was the largest grown. Every cor
respondent tells me it was over estimated
consumption largely underestimate that
consumption began early and in the milk
and has continued unusually large up to

Feeders have no stocks and buy from
hand to mouth. All admit there was no
corn al roasting ear season; that there is
no corn cribbed along railways and final
ly that country prices are generally as
high or higher than cost of freight to Chi

vance and still favor buying May corn on
all breaks. If May corn dips down to 471kc
don't fall asleep, but buy it. I look for
big speculation in corn.
OATS-Export clearances of oats are be-
ing made from every American seaport
Kansas City and St Louis both up to
old prices. Chicago receipts of oats since
July have been 100000 bushels less than
last season. The bear pressure on oats
has come from consuming sections, where
they now have no stocks. Northwestern

Movement in Senate to Dispense With
Them Defeated.

This being the last day of the regu-
lar 50-day session of the legislature the
senate committee on employees offered a
report this morning recommending that
nearly all the committee clerks employ
ed in the senate be dispensed with The
report was laid on the table.
Senator Waggener led the fight on the
report He said that the senate had
been conservative in the matter of en-
pIoyes and had employed only such as
were needed and that now with several
hundred house and senate bills to the
considered that the senate would be
greatly handicapped by such a move.
The senate agreed with the senator
from Atchison. The report of the com
mittee recommended the retention of all
senate clerks and. employees.
