to make Hill SIT up late OF nights keeping
Hartman out of his back yard. Since the
election OF President Earring OF the MIL

OF Hartman 10 build a line from Portland

GRAIN EXCHANGE IS AHEAD

Enough to Wipe Out Former
Deficit and Leave Sur
Plus for New Year.

That the revenues of the Omaha Grain
exchange this year will pay running ex-
penses, will make up the deficiency OF $1,000
on the first years operation, and then leave
a nice balance in the treasury, is the opin-
ion of an active member of the exchange.
His relief is based on the showing of last
year and the comparison of this years
business to date with that Of last year
for the same period.
At the end of the first year of the ex-
istence of the exchange its revenues had
not paid its expenses by $1,000 At the end
of the second year, 1905, the revenues for
that year had paid the current expenses
and had afforded more than 5000 In ad-
dition to apply on the shortage of the year
before. This year, it is figured, the ex-
change will make 5000 above running ex-
penses. 1900 OF which will make up for
the shortage OF the first year. leav-
ing about $1,000 profit TO the exchange
for three years operation. This show
ing is made in face of the fact
that the members Of the exchange pay
no annual fees or assessments, which are
paid 10 the amount of SIS TO SIS by mem
bers Of the majority Of exchanges through

The increase In revenue this year over

trading on the floor. In March i0,O0J.0Jl

and this month almost as good a showing
will be made. IL trade In this line keeps
up the entire year at the same rate, It Is
figured the exchanges fees for handling

Wheat is rapidly assuming its proper
place I'm the option market on the local
exchange. Nearly all the trades made In
March were I'm corn, but lately the whole
crowd has developed the same sentiment
I'm corn and there are fewer trades. The at
