WHEAT STILL GOING UP


In the produce exchange in New York
Thursday there was the most violent
upward movement in wheat that has
taken place since the first unfavorable
crop rumor of the year. On the majority
of purchases there was an advance in
price until there had been a gain of more
than four points.
The advance in New York was not a.
sharp as In Chicago, where there was the
range OF about seven cents. between the
high and low points of the day. The
New York movement Jagged behind for
the reason that the advance was more
rapid than the telegraph could promptly
record.
The reason for the sharp upward
movement was found in cable from
Russia reporting that the wheat acreage
in that country would not be more thai
20 per cent of a normal seeding.

CHICAGO LETTER.


Chicago, March 12.-WHEAT-A
broad, active market throughout the
session. Short sellers took advantage
of the bearish figures issued by the
government yesterday afternoon to sell
quite a lot of wheat this morning.
Early prices showed a decline of Is
of a cent below the close last even
ing. on the break, however, inhuen-
rial support was discernible- The
shorts seemed to have oversold them
selves and on the appearance of crop
damage stories from different sections
than those reported yesterday prices
started skyward. The final close to-
night shows a gain OF a cent and half
over the low prices obtaining at the
market. The shorts were stampeded
in the last half of the session, closing
the market strong at about the highest
prices Of the day.
CORN-Ruled weak with very IN
different tone to the entire market The
news was rather bearish. Cancella-
lions of cash corn bought for export by
eastern exporters and very slow de-
mand for cash corn acted as detrl-
ment to the bullish enthusiasm
The market closed steady with very
little change from yesterday.

a Man of Destiny.

Since entering public life J. Frank
Hanly has had many harsh indictments
filed against him but we recall no one
of more singing nature than that
contained in the speech of Senator
VIII Wood The latter charged the
governor with acting spitefully and
with outraging friendship The speech
put prominent the ingratitude of the
man who would sacrifice friends and
everything in his selfish desire to rule.
Booth Harrington has a forceful story
called Hector" 1t IS the story Of a
boy who believes himself a child of
destiny and is imbued with the idea
that all persons We're made to serve
him and make it possible to satisfy his
political aspiration. An old aunt
starves herself that Hector may be
educated and the sacrifice Of all reIa-
tives and friends is offered as a con-
tribution to Hector's opinion Of his own
greatness Booth Harrington may have
received his inspiration for Hector
from the life of ]. Frank HanIy. In
the story Hector finally gives up the
love Of the girl who would be his wife
in order to rise; in the case of the gov
ernor he willingly sacrifices the sacred
ness OF friendship In order that he may
have his way. Dave Sherrick's faith
fulness counted as nothing when
trouble overlook him. Dan Storms was
another who served destiny's purpose
and was cast aside. James Bingham
attorney general of the state. with
whom the governor dug bitches and
studied law by the candle light, has
been thrown in the discard because he
had an opinion of his own.
The outbreak of Senator VIII WOOD
was the climax of the tragedy based
on long line of friendships that have
been outraged because one man is con
sumed with the idea that he can do nc
wrong. VIII Wood was a partner il
all that the term implies. He was thai
sort of a friend who would have shared
his last crust with one he claimed a!
friend. But the time came when VIII
Wood. with due respect to his manhood
could serve no longer and then he wa
no longer a friend. It must be a ter
rible thing to be possessed with a per
sonaI self-esteem and prompted by per
sonal ambition that knows no senti
ment, no charity and has no acquaint
ance with the milk of human kindness
J. Frank Hanly has reached that sta
Of his career where men have cease t
to serve him; they no longer believ
him to be a privileged child of destin,
| and he is done-Lafayette Journal.

Tribute to Our Roads.

An indirect tribute to the roads of
Indiana has been paid by the agricul-
tural department which we were hard
~ prepared for. 1t is to the effect
that the farmer can haul his wheat to
market at a less cost in Indiana than
in many other states. 1t costs him
on an average, six cents per 100 pounds,
which is equalled only in Ohio, Michi-
gan, Kansas and Maryland. while in
other states or territories the cost runs
up till 1t reaches 80 cents in New Mex
leo. Illinois, however, makes a better
showing with corn, which costs 1t only
five cents per hundred to get to mar
ket, instead OF six, as in Indiana, This
would seem to indicate that many of
the Indiana counties have good turn
pixies, and that the state has better
railroad facilities or available at more
points. than other states. 1t would al
so show that the Indiana farmer has
some advantages over those in other
states to induce him to remain on the
old farm instead of moving to the
northwest-Terre Haute Tribune.

Experience.

A certain member of the Pittsburg
stock exchange has set his nephew up
in business three times, but the young
man lacks something essential to sue
cess in the line selected for him, and
has failed with each effort.
When he recently appeared before
the uncle with his fourth request, the
latter said:
"You must learn to lean on yourself.
I can't carry you all my life. I'll tell
you what I'll do. You owe me a great
deal as a result of your last failure.
Pitch in on your own hook and go it
alone till you pay off all those debts.
When you've done that, I'll give you
a check for what they amount to. Such
an experience will do you more good
than all the money I could give you
now
Two months later the nephew walk
ed in with every claim receipted in
full and the uncle was so delighted
that the gave the promised check.
How did you manage it, Howard?''

graduation.

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York. March 12.-Traders took
a more rational and sane view Of the
financial situation. Fluctuations in the
stock market this morning were not so
erratic and prices inclined to show a
flrmer tendency.
The Hartman shares were about the
most active of any of the standard
rails. Union Pacific sold up from 1855
IA to 1857 3-4 and Southern Pacific
from So to SO. The belief that Mr.. Har-
rimans interview with President
Roosevelt Will have a beneficial effect
upon prices still prevails.
The most important bearish factor
hanging over the railroad situation is
the drastic legislation in almost every
state in the union. With every legis-
lature introducing bills to reduce the
passenger fares from three to two
cents, it Will undoubtedly cut big
figure in the earnings of a great many
railroads. This fact has prevented a
number Of spectators and investors
from entering the market at the pres
ent time. believing that they will have
an opportunity OF buying gilt-edged
stocks at prices which Will bring a
greater return than those prevailing at
the present time.
In the last hour of today's session,
a little selling appeared which seemed
to take thee dye off the market, and
caused a reaction throughout thel list
prices finally closing with very little
change from the opening figures.

WITH THE EDITORS.
REFINED CRUELTY.

The Literary Digest, with it's char
acteristic fairness in the way of pre-
senting every side of every public
question, produces a large number OF
utterances of socialistic speakers and
papers regarding the Moyer-Haywood
case. While some of these are argu-
nentative and dignifed, there are
others that are hardly calculated to
inspire the public with any other feel
ing than that OF angry disgust. Take
for example the following extract from
an address at Pittsburg, Kas., by one
C. E. Rolfe:
"The time has come for rebellion.
The courts have refused US a fair
hearing; the right of petition has been
refused us, and we must now prepare
to use the last recourse-force of arms
The Dred-Scott decision was followed
by the civil war. The Meyer Haywood
Pettibone decision will be followed by
a rebellion OF the working class. Arm
yourselves, keep a steady nerve, and
get something to kill squirrels with
for the woods are full of squirrels and
there is going TO be killing"
That's healthful sort Of a preaohment
now. isn't it? Calculated to win hosts
of warm friends for the accused men
don't you think?
The truth OF the matter IS that the
vicious and malign talk of the cham
pions of Meyer and Haywood is doing
more to prejudice the public minc
against them than anything else coulc
possibly do, and in quoting at length
the impassioned outbursts of thes,
advocates of n killing" the Literary
Digest is positively cruel to those meI

cago or any other place, but not for
25 cents as he claims. ALI that is neces-

hotel or restaurant, and if he has the
price. we are sure he can get the best
that the market produces. But there
are dyspeptics bobbling up every now
