GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO. February 13.-Wheat fol-
May delivery sold here today at LA per
bushel. a gain of 1 cent compared with
the record breaking figure established
Thursday. Renewed purchases by lead
ing bulls and buying by local shorts
caused the upturn. At the close the net
gain for the day was &c. Corn and oats
closed firm and provisions easy.
The highest price paid for the May de-
livery in nearly four years failed to
bring out any great amount of buying OF
selling of that option in the wheat pit
today, the congested condition of the
market holding many traders in check
At times the amount of trading in the
July delivery was also limited, although
an increased disposition was manifested
to change from the May to the more dis
tant delivery.
The market opened easy owing to the
comparative weakness of the European

hour. however, the demand for May had
carried the price up to 1.131a. From this
figure there was some setback on selling
inspired by the official report showing the
amount of wheat exported during Janu-
airy from the United States. the figures
showing a falling off Of more than
II 100000 bushels. compared with the
same time a year ago. A lessened de-
mand for cash wheat also had bearish
effect. Late in the session fresh demand
for May forced the price up to LA. The
more distant deliveries. however. were in
clined to drag. Final quotations on May
were 1.137s. July sold between 1.OOsa

NEW YORK BANKS.

NEW YORK. February 13.-The state

The statement of the associated banks
of the city of New York for the week
ending February IL showed some rather
unexpected changes In totals. Loans de-
creased SS.3I,500: deposits, taking the re-
ports of actual condition as a basis, de-
creased S11.9OO.9OO. while the loss In
cash was S2.67S.3OO The shrinkage in de-
posits a little more than neutraliZed the

go. The statement was complicated
somewhat by the operations of the trust
companies in the building up of their cash
reserve. The state banks and trust COM
panies increased their loans S23 O4O. 100:
decreased their cash holdings 81. 1871 600,
while their net deposits rose SO, 800, 800.
The trust companies now hold their full
ID per cent of cash reserve in vaults, and
the temporarily disturbing features which
have characterized the statements of the
clearing house banks and the trust COM
panes for the past few weeks will not
figure SO prominently in the future.
The loss in cash reported by the asso-
ciated banks is traceable to continued ex-
ports Of gold. although the interior move
ment to this center continues in full
swing. The withdrawal of government de-
posts will be reflected In the totals Of the
New York banks for short time only.

MONTREAL. February 13.-Announce-
ment that the Dominion Marine Associa-
ton has fixed an arbitrary rate Of 6ts
cents per bushel for grain carried by all
water route from Fort William to Mon
treal next season has aroused much op-
position on the part of Montreal export
ers, who claim that the action will have
the result Of driving Canadian grain to
American ports. There is a proposal to
appeal to the Dominion government to re-
strain the Dominion Marine Association
from enforcing its schedule on the ground
that it is a restraint Of trade The same
rate was fixed last spring. but was broken
away from late in the season.

FOREIGN MARKETS.

LONDON, February 13.-The stock ex-
change experienced a week of broadening
business and rising prices. the increas-
ing1y healthy undertone Of buying being
chiefly of an investment nature. The
market closed practically at the best, but
with a more quiet undertone. Consols
for the account touched S5A, nearly per
cent higher than at the beginning of the
month, due to the government purchases
on account of the sinking fund and in
vestment buying by Paris and Berlin
houses. The tone of the gilt-edged securi-
ties was further strengthened by the
Franco-German understanding regarding
Morocco, the visit of King Edward to
Berlin and the success Of the Indian loan.
Cheaper money and the strengthened
bank position induced more confident local
operations, but the new loans and foreign
bonds were noticeably strong, owing to
free investment in Paris funds, and. al
though profit taking caused slight halt
to the upward movement to the end of the
week, the final prices were considerably
dearer than on last Saturday.
The American was the Quietest section
of the market. the uncertainty of Wall
street and the pending tariff proposals
checking fresh commitments. The pro-
fessionals supported the low-priced issues
early in the week, turning their attention
to the Hartman stocks later. which,
with covering operations prior to the holi-
day in the United States and the rumoT
! current today that the Erie railways
plan has been completed. made the final
| tone firm at from l to 4 points dearer
than last Saturday. Grand Trunk shares
provided mild sensation Friday on the
announcement Of the reduced dividend,
the preferred shares of the various Issues

the market closed slightly above the

South African shares attracted increased
speculative attention on the part Of large
interests, while copper shares showed
good rise on the week.

He walked and talked sancti-
with that frankness
that sometimes dupes when
trickery fails, he confided that he
had been hired by a Denver lawyer
to make charges against the Judge.
The charge comprised "politi-
cal trickery, treachery, judicial
unfairness, favoritism, dema-
gogy," and ended in allegations of
'lunacy, degeneracy and degrad-
ing immortality"
Here, indeed, was material for
the wreck. 1t was serious, SO the
editor of the magazine, John
O'Hara Cosgrave, went to Denver
personally to find the truth about
Judge Lindsey.
And just then the right began
to win. Judge Lindsey was in
ignorance of this investigation OF
himself that was going on.
When Mr.. Cosgrave applied the
tests of an inquirer after the
truth to the Lindsey charges,
they collapsed like a card house.
What happened then?
Mr.. Evans, Tramway Boss Ev-
ans, said he was sorry that such
charges had been made against
the judge. He was surprised
had a right to be, he thought
since NO ONE HAD TOLD HIM
that such charges were to be
made. He didn't do his fighting
that way" he fastened to add.
You see, right had already won.
What Evans felt like a lash was
the sting of defeat.
Judge Lindsey, like most men
who are right, didn't have to fight
at all to clear himself. The right
in him and in what he had done
was doing his fighting for him.
