WHEAT-The market the last week has
been one OF strength, with plenty OF
weak spots to make the bears hold on to
their position and think that every time
the market bulged sharp and fell back
that the bull movement was over, bur
each setback was met with sharp up
and carried the prices a little higher and
made the bulls confident that they were
in the saddle 10 stay, and the bears are
commencing to ger very uneasy and the
market commences to look as If they
ket is done advancing, There is pfenty OF
bull news just now, the northwest receipts
are lighter than one year ago and the
winter wheat NOV ement is small, while
the exports are very heavy being over
four and a half million bushels for the
week. These things the bulls have IN
their favor, while the bears claim the
southwest are seeding and the northwest
has bad weather which accounts for the
smallness of receipts in both places and
after a few weeks there will be plenty OF
wheat moving again, which I think to be
q fact. / really think that the real situa-
ton is that this reaction is due after
1872 cent decline without practically any
reaction to speak of and that they took
the time to do It when the outside world
was waiting to buy cheap wheat on the
big receipts which were expected from
the northwest / figured that this would
be the case and called your attention 70 It

investment which 1t was. Now there is
chance that it win set still higher. but /

do not intend to take any chance IN the

they are looking around for a barge
with capacity of not less than 2 800
tons, which it is proposed to have moor
ed at some convenient place near New
port News Under ordinary circl1n-
stances sufficient coal can be obtained
at that place for the vessels of the navy
on reasonable notice. but it has hap
pened IN the past that Warships have
had to wait While merchant and other
vessels were coaling owing to the lack Of
a sufficient number of lighters and in
one instance a. warship which put into

MISSING SINCE SUNDAY.
J. Thomas Arthur Mysteriousiy Dis
appeared. Friends Alarmed.

From Thursdays Daily.
j. Thomas Arthur, a butcher employ
ed in Macbeth & Gardeners meat mar
ket that is managed by N. NJ. Herman
son, has been missing since Sunday, and
it is feared that evil has befallen him.
Manager Hermanson has telephoned to
the twin cities and to Arthur's home
at Saltwater, but without hearing any
thing of the missing man.
Arthur was last seen Sunday after
noon at about 2:30 o'clock, when he
took some meat to the Clifton House.
He seemed to be in hurry, and left
without glancing at a paper that he had
bought. He was rooming and boarding
with Mrs. Pfeffer, but gave no notice
that he was going to be away and left
his clothing in his room undisturbed.
He took nothing from the meat market.
Arthur has been employed at the meat
market for six or eight months. He
does not drink, has excellent habits and
was exemplary in every way, and his
disappearance is unexplainable. Mr..
Hermanson fears that he has been the
victim of foul play. He reported the
disappearance to the police late yester-
day afternoon.
The description of the missing man
says that he is thirty-five years of age.
single, dark complexion and mustach,
dark hair, and weighs lS5 pounds.
