THE MARKETS
Daily Market Letter.

[Gate City Leased Wire Service.l
CHICAGO, Feb. 1S.-Wheat was
firmer today and closed half cent high
er for May, but the new crop feaure
was less susceptible to the improved
tone of trade generally, SO that July
was only 1c up. May corn closed one
fourth higher and July 1c higher. July
oats closed up one-half cent. Provis-
ions We're dull and about unchanged.
Moisture in the wheat belt was still
plentiful and the drought proposition
was thereby eliminated as market
factor. There was absence in the for
eign market of any appreciable influ-
ence exerted there by the weak trend
OF markets here yesterday. Falling off
in receipts caused bullish tone that
| coanteracted the bearish attacks, so
that opening prices were virtually un-
changed. A firmer tone developed DUR
ing the day for which there was no
substantial basis further than the fact
that there We're none of the heavy
shorts that did not have a profit In
their open trades and there was quite
general move among them to even
up for the week.
There was no change at the opening
OF the corn market in the general
news affecting that cereal, and there
vas, in consequence, continuation OF
yesterdays closing figures in the early
transactions. Trading was of the
usual insignificant kind attending con-
ditions of this sort The market was
helped toward the end by the strength
in wheas and the demands for the
small offerings in the cash market
where the demands easily absorbed
tie supply although the eastern ship
ping demand was slack.
Opening of the business in oats was
of the quiet character that usually dis

total the Ohio river carries $3.50, O0C
tons, while the Missouri river contrib.
utes more than twice that much. The
Colorado river, which, like the Mis-
sissippi, has built for itself vast
delta, brings down more suspended
matter than any other river In the
United States, delivering annually 3S7
tons for each square mile Of its drain
age basin, or total Of 10O,740,O00
tons.
The rivers of the United States, the
geological survey reports show, carry
to tidewater each year 270,000,0 900 tons
of dissolved matter and 513,000.000
tons of suspended matter. This total
represents more than 0,0O0,00 cubic

yards of surface soil. II this erosive

Icifc port. There Is no Intention OF
making Port Arthur a naval base. but
IL, too, will be developed along CONNER
cial lines. Four hundred miles OF the
South Manchuria railway, together
with the lease of the peninsula, have
Involved vast expenditures. These
may be reimbursed by China and the

Interest, namely, the Antung-Mukden
railway, which In another year will be
the continuation of the Korean rail-
ways and the last link in the line
between Fusan at the southern end of
the peninsula of Korea and Berlin.
BY the time the leases have termi-
mated the capital account will be very
large, and 1t is doubtful II China will
be able to purchase. Meanwhile the
development of Manchuria goes on al
most entirely because of the activities
of Japan, and the Chinaman resident
benefits in so far as he is able to mar
ket his produce, while at the same
time the money in circulation In
creases and he is more prosperous.
The Japanese do not care to go to
Manchuria. The climate does not suit
them, and there they must come In
competition as laborers and as mer-
chants with the Chinaman, who Is a
cheaper laborer and equally as astute
a merchant Nevertheless, there can
be no doubt that japan intends to
maintain her sphere of Influence up
to the last. There has been so much
pickering over certain interests in
Manchuria. and so much Of discrimina-
ton against others and intrigue In
their own behalf has been laid to the
door of Japan, that she always looks
for some move that will follow the
same lines. Arbitration has not a
pleasant sound to the Japanese Off
Gals. They have been disappointed
by arbitration before. Nevertheless, II
| the terms of the Anglo-American
treaty are found to be practical there
| is every likelihood that Japan will not
be unwilling to join, but she will al
ways ask to be allowed to apply the
Monroe doctrine to Asia.

EASY MARK FOR JACK JOHNSON

London. Aug. 5.-Jack Johnson
wouldn't steal candy from infants,
maybe. but his match with Petty Of
ficer Curran, the Irish heavyweight
champion, set for decision tonight,
j looks very much like it. Dublin is to
be the scene of the encounter, and re-
ports from that city state that the
Irish sports are falling over each
other to get tickets of admission. The
Emerald Isle has gone crazy on box
ing, and while few expect Curran to
whip the smoke" the fight fans OF
Dublin consider it worth the price OF
admission just to see the big black in
action.
It is not known definitely how much
Johnson will receive for his battle
with Curran, although his press agent
sets the sum at $4,000. This is prob
ably an exaggeration, as there is hard
ly that much loose coin in Ireland.
The negro will receive, it is alleged,
the sum of 100000 for fighting Bonn
bardier Wells in London early in Sep.
TENDER In November, probably, john
son will go to Paris to tackle Sam
McVey, and will add another snug roll
to his bank account. He is holding out
for at least $4,000 for this mill, and
Parisians are so anxious to see him
that they will probably cough up.

MANCHUR|A IS THE
cRUX OF THE PROBLEM
Why Japan Is Unwilling to Sign
Unconditional Arbitration
Treaties.
[By Associated Press.1

Toxic, Aug. 5.-Hesitation on the
part of Japan to enter into negotia-
tions with the United States looking
to the conclusion of an arbitration
treaty on lines similar to projected
between Great Britain and the United
States is not born of objection to arbt
tration, but arises from a desire TO
know more of what may be proposed
before committing herself.
It is pointed out that there are GER
tain things which Japan can not and
will not arbitrate any more than 1t
would be reasonable to expect the
United States to arbitrate the applica-
ton of the Monroe doctrine. Undoubt'
eddy Manchuria is the crux. So much
has been said and is being said about
the hand OF the whole world being
against Japans expansion policies that
it has come to be the popular belief in
japan that every effort will be made
to prevent her making any more out
