LIVERPOOL.

LIVERPOOL. Feb. 4.-wheat ruled
steady At the opening and later there was
q rather frmer undertone with shorts ner-
vous. The weakness in America was Offset
by the nrmness Of cargoes offered aud
lighter arrivals here. Predictions are for
smaller Russian shipments this week with
resultant light worlds shipments and an
improved continental demand. France was
making good inquiry for red wheat
nd seine reported purchases here. Argen-
tina continues to offer freely with demand
for export less urgent and stocks there
|commenctng to show increase and this
serves to check the advance.
Corn market neglected. Firmer cables
Friday made opening values here -
higher; later market was unchanged with
| UNDERGONE nrmer on Il better inquiry for
American parcels and an improved spot
demand. Advance was checked by the
enormous Bradstreet's exports for week.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-Champ
Clark, who has at his disposal q
$4,000 place as official stenographer
Of the House, has high opinion Of
the Courier Journal as an advertising
medium. AS a result Of an announce
ment in that paper he has enough ac-
ceptances to fill several hundred such
positions 1t should be stated that
stenographer who can write 225
words a minute for fifteen minutes
has very little chance for the job.
There are reported to be in the city
of Louisville only two men capable OF
maintaining such speed, one Of them
is Clarence Walker and the other
Joe Longstreet.
OF course Mr.. Clark will find COM
petent Democrat for the place. The
salary of $4,000 is not regarded as
big figure among expert reporters
of debates There are at least 200
men IN the country who draw down
something like $4,000 a year. Most
of them are court stenographers.
