UPHEAVAL In ttNES\LvAhIA
REFORMEkS ELECT THE STATE
TREASURER AND PHILADEL-
PHIA CITY TICKET.

Philadelphia, Nov 9.-The political
revolution in this city and state was
the greatest that has occurred in
Pennsylvania in nearly a generation.
There have been previous upheavals,
but this is the first time in years
that every Office for which there was
any semblance of contest has been
lost to the regular Republicans. 1t is
also the first time in quarter of a
century that the regular Republicans
have been defeated for control of the
state treasury.
The plurality Of William H: Berry,
who was nominated by the Demo
cratic, Independent party, Lincoln
party and Prohibitionists for state
treasurer, will be nearly 100000 and
hay go above those figures. j. Lee
Plummer, the Republican candidate,
ran far behind his ticket in nearly
avery county in the state The re-
nainder of the Republican ticket was
elected by the usual Republican plural
tiles. President Roosevelt's plurality
last year was more than half million.
The victory OF the City party, the
feform organization, over the regular
Republicans in Philadelphia was COM
plete and beyond the expectations of
the reform leaders. The City party's
plurality is 43,333. The reform wave
carried Berry along with it, he defeat
ing Plummer III the city BY 36,O37
plurality.

MARCH DIVIDENDS

A compilation of the dividend and in
terest payments to be made during March
by the principal railroad and industrial
corporations OF the country gives total
OF S51, 627, 01S on the same basis of calcu-
lation for March. 1904, an increase of ST.
SOS, 62S. The gain is made principally in
the list of industrial dividends, In which
a few companies have inaugurated the
payment of dividends on their stocks
since year ago. and some others have
made either increases Of stock or in
creases in the rate paid. The chief new
dividend payer Is the Federal Mining and
Smelling company. which pays on both
classes of stock total Of $500, 000 Rail-
road dividends and those on telegraph,
telephone and lighting company stocks
have each increased about 100000.
Among the railroads, the chief dividend
payers are the Baltimore & Ohio, which
pays s2,500.000 on both classes of stock;
New Haven, with $1,000, 600; the Erie
with 1851. 900. and the Delaware & Hud-
son, with $11S, 900. Three other roads
will pay as much as $500, 600. The prin-
cipal Industrial companies on the list for
March are the Standard Oil company. with
than last year; the American Tobacco
company. with s1.006.0O0 on the common
stock; the Calumet & Hecla, with 81 ,000,-
600. and the United States Leather conn
pany, with $4,000. The Consolidated
Gas company viii pay $500, 600.
March is not an important month for
the payment OF interest on railroad bonds.
but one company. the Erie, will pay more
than 81. 200. 900, while three others will
pay half that sum or more. Eleven
others Will pay $3.50. 600 or more. The

THE RICE MARKET


NEW YORK, March 4.-The improve
ment in demand noted last week continues,
but movement is still far less than desired,
Weather conditions have been unfavora-
BILE both north and south. In the north
ern districts communication between
points of distribution and consumption has
been interrupted by excessive fall and
drifting of snow, so that stocks have not
moved with ordinary activity. Prices are
well sustained, particularly on Honduras
sorts The low prices ruling on Japan has
brought Ii into unusual favor. Its uni
form character and whole grain commends
it in the absence of the lower medium
grades of Honduras.
Advices from the south note market on
the Atlantic coast dull New Orleans re-
ports a strong market with fair move
ment for home distribution. Demand for
export is active, but confined mainly to
the lower grades. In the interior-south-
west Louisiana and Texas-there has been
an active inquiry for Japan styles and
screenings for export. At the prevailing
low prices considerable lines have been
placed on speculative account. Those
who make these ventures reason very tru-
ly that there Is not much probability Of
loss while the chances for gain are quite
favorable for, at present prices, large
movement Is possible and at &c to &c re-
cession, an almost unlimited quantity OF
styles mentioned would be taken for ex-
port.
Cables and correspondence from abroad
note but little that is new. Markets are
firm under continued buying for war ac-
count.

Failure to Lower Bank Rate Causes Some
Disappointment

LONDON. March 5.-Although money ia
not cheap, speculation on the stock ex-
change broadened during the week and
the upward movement further progressed

taking. Some disappointment was again
manifested at the nonreduction of the
bank rate, but IL is confidently expected
that the rate will be reduced soon in view

tries and the increase in the output of gold

which had not much effect on other sec
lions OF the market. beyond a slight re-
ductfon from the highest prices OF the
week, while Saturdays prices were strong

The COAL TRADE

CHICAGO. March 4.-Continued mild
weather in the west during the past week
has resulted in an increased supply Of
bituminous coal at all important points
OF consumption and has relieved the trans
portation situation. Demand has also
fallen of with the milder weather as a
result OF the lessened consumption and
the waiting policy which is always fol-
lowed at this season OF the year unless
the temperature Is low or there are Sc
we're storms. In the face of these condi-
tons the market Is not very active and In
many respects 1t Is devoid OF interesting
features.

Special reports from forty-four north
western mills (outside Of Minneapolis and
Duluth) with a total daily capacity of 49,
126 brls, show that In the week ended
Feb. %. they made 142,550 brls OF flour
representing the consumption OF approx

Foreign flour shipments In the same week
were 4.54O brls. against 1880 year ago..
The outside nltlls' furnish no Varia-
ton from the generally dull condition OF
mills which sold a quantity of -four equal
to their capacity, but they were the ex-
ception. Usually mills were running about
half capacity, and only about enough sales
were made and shipping directions re-
ceived to sustain this rate Of operation.
Expressions taken from confidential re-

referring to the fact that his mill was idle

-FOUR CENT BREAK,

Bears I'm Control at Opening of
Week, but Cover Freely
Later

Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce,
March 4.-The lack of support at the be-
ginning of the week gave the bears
start in their campaign for lower prices
and they started in to hammer the mar
ket freely. The report was freely circu-
lated that the Gates party had abandoned
their bull campaign and had sold out on
the recent advance and withdrawn from
the wheat market. This caused free
selling by the small traders who had been
trailing along in the wake of the Gates
party looking for the much talked for
$500 wheat. 1t was great shake out
for the bear party and they helped the
decline by selling wheat freely on all lit
tie rallies that are usual in the course OF
declining market Stop loss orders
were very numerous from S1.14 down TO
Sill and the throwing over this large
eral weakness.
Parties who have been more or less con-
nected with the Wall street crowd were
good sellers on the way down and We're
followed by the professional pit trader.
This decline lasted three days. before
there was enough demand to turn the
market upward. The fourth day, how
ever. saw the bulls standing to their guns
and taking all offerings of wheat freely.
so much wheat was absorbed by the bull
party and by the smaller shorts covering,
that the larger shorts became nervous
and started covering movement, the
market rallying from the low point very
sharply, each day seeing a further adj
vance in prices. The last three days of
the week, the bears started to hammer
the market and opened prices at what
proved TO be the low point for that day.
All the news was bearish during the fore
part of the week the shorts could wish
for, while during the last OF the week the
only help the bulls had was the improved
cash wheat and flour demand and indica-
lions pointing to decreased receipts in the
northwest.
Reports from the country state that
farmers deliveries are very light, being
practically nothing The flag end of the
wheat movement from the country eleva-
tors is now making it's appearance, the
best posted people in the grain trade be-
end of liberal receipts in the country.
Millers and elevator men certainly believe
1t or they would not be so anxious for the
cash wheat during the past two days.
