Future Grain and Provisions

Future Grain and Provisions
CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-In addition to the liquf-
dation of long wheat there free selling by
Northwestern interests for the short account.
These sales inspired to large extent by
the accumulation of stocks at Minneapolis and
Duluth. Although the not particu-
larly bearish the feeling in favor of lower prices
seemed to be more pronounced than at any time
for several days. The market became weaker as
trading progressed and final quotations were the
lowest OF the day. May opened shade to h@
&c lower at 7711@77esc and sold off to 77@
71sc, where 1t closed weak, down &c.
The corn market remarkably steady, con-
sidering the weakness of wheat. There very
little selling pressHre, due to the fact that offer
ings from the country very light. The mar
ket closed steady. May opened unchanged to a
shade higher at 1886 to 4315c, sold off TO 43A @

Trading In the oat pit very light and the
market was easier. May opened unchanged at
3614 @36ssc, sold of to SEC and closed at the
lowest point.
The prospect of a larger movement for live
hogs caused considerable selling of provisions for
short account and prices weakened under pres
sure. At the close May pork was off TIC at

NEW YORK. Dec. 29.-The cotton market

the trade has been what Friday, the first notice
day for January deliveries, would develop. 1t
that large amount of cotton would be ten
dered January contracts, and that most of it
would consist of very low grades. This expecta-
ton. together with the continued heavy move
ment of cotton TO the receiving points of the
South and lack of inspiration from Liverpool or

Dried Fruits, Nuts, Rais,n. and Honey


The New York Journal of Commerce says:
Holiday dullness settled down on the market
at the end of last week, bringing to an end one
in the history Of the trade. The activity In all
staple lines continued until unusually late
date this year, though accompanied by number
or d1sagreeable features. not the least vexatious
OF which was the slow delivery of both imported
and domestic goods throughout the season. due
to general freight congestion. The year is end
ing with perhaps the smallest stocks ever carried
by jobbers at this period. though this is offset to
some extent by the fact that deliveries have yet
California products, notably prunes and raisins.
"A feature of the situation is the firm tone of
the market. which is in striking contrast with
the usual experience at the close of the active
period This is due to the small available spot
supply and the unusually close cleanup of
stocks in the hands of coast packers

Blanks from the Assessor and to
hear complaints and equalize.
The law is very plain on this
point and we have also looked
In the Las Vegas Age, the paper
that prints the official notices of
meetings and fail to see any
notice that should be published
Of a meeting Of the Board of
County Commissioners to sit as a
Boardof Equalization on the 17h.
and which notice is called for
and prescribed by law.
By their action in not meeting
the County has lost the right to
tax all Mortgages, as it is the
duty Of the Recorder to be present
on the third Monday in Sept. at
the meeting of the Board with a
list of all unsatisfied mortgages
and the Board shall asses the
same; the time having past the
County is looser the taxes they
would have derived from this
source.
Another grave question also
presents itself. Having failed
to meet on the date designated
can they legally meet at a sub
sequent date and raise or lower
the assessment of any individual
or corporation?
What excuse can the Board
give for this great neglect of
special duty?

Thirty-six Years Old

With this issue of the RECORD
begins new year. 1t was thirty
six years ago since this paper
made its debut into this camp.
Much has transpired since then.
Prosperity has been phenomenal
at times and adversity has rend-
cred conditions almost unbear-
able. Imitation of population has
been entravagant, offording ap-
portunities, confagations, depres-
sions and panics have depopulat-
cd the district, but the RECORD
has remained where it is. This
paper and a few old timers were
for several years the only remn-
ant of a wild and busting career
In this County. They stood the
test and are here to at least
witness the new and final pros
perity expected so long. Con-
ditions have again changed from
bad to better. Once more and
for all Lincoln County is on the
upgrade and it seems the sum-
NIT Of expection is soon to be
reached without an obstacle.
With pride we point to
the history Of this publication,
not that the present management
is responsible, but that the diff
ferent managements have been,
30 far as the writer can discern
from old records. progressive and
clean. Have the public fully
realized this? In a degree they
have. It is an expense of time,
money and patience to keep and
hold this pace-to keep abreast
under all conditions the advance
ment of the different ages. We
believe che RECORD has and is
doing this. 1t is hoped it will be
as clean in the future as it mas
been in the past. Win the public
appreciate this?
