THE CHICAGO MARKET.

CHICAGO, Jan. 25.-Plenty OF snow
in Russia protecting the fall-sown crop
had a tendency TO ease off wheat prices
today. Conditions in other European
countries were also reported as favor
able to the bear side. Offers from
India and the Argentine continued lib
eral and domestic advices like
wise appeared to be against the bulls.
The principal factors were moderate
temperatures. moist skies. cash demand
slow and flour trade poor. Tightness in
the March delivery at Liverpool, how
ever, led to a little show of strength
here at the outset. The opening was
unchanged to u up. May started at
9sat to 98&@h, ar advance of q shade
to "a, but declined to 9S1s@B.
Corn was 1rmer on the mild weather
and because of yesterdays export bust
ness. May opened lis to " higher at
50h@A to sou, and steadied at the up
per level.
Oats. though dull, sympathized with
the strength OF corn. May started a
shade to u dearer, at 34%@% to BAN,
but receded to 34%.
Provisions weakened in consequence
of a decline in hog prices. First sales
were 2z to Is down, with May options
at 1874 to 1S.45 for pork, 9.77M for
lard and $50 to 9.S24 for ribs.

Heirs to S2,225,OOO.

10 be one OF the heirs TO an estate
in Germany valued at 5000. 900 marks,
or S2.225,000, is the good fortune of
Mrs. John ~Paffendorf, wife of the only
hotel keeper in North Arlington. She
learned of her good fortune yesterday

Mr.. Hauck about a month ago got
at intimation that his great-grand-
uncle had left a great estate in the

and brother would come in for a large
share Of II, 81 he fastened abroad to
investigate, promising to write as soon
as he learned anything.
In his letter, received by Mrs. Pahren-
dorf, at her home on Schuyler avenue,
North Arlington, yesterday, Mr.. Hauck
states that there was considerable
truth in the report he got. and that
there Is 10 doubt but that he, with his
brother Charles and Mrs. Paffendorf.

ASSESSOR MAY Be
ASKED TO RESIGN
At MASS
Committee investigating Alleged
Excessive Valuations in East
Newark Will Report Tonight.

That the resignation OF John Martin
as assessor of East Newark Is to be
asked for at a mass-meeting to be held
in the Borough Hall, East Newark,
tonight, Is a umo that Is In circula-
ton In East Newark today. A prom
inent citizen of the borough n a
member Of the committee recently ap-
pointed by Mayor Cornelius A. NC
Giennon to investigate alleged charges
of excessive valuations in some cases
and deficiency In others, told a STAR
reporter that the matter Of asking for
Martins resignation would positively
be brought up tonight.
The meeting, as told exclusively
Monday night in the Evening STAR.
was called by the investigating com
mittee. The Taxpayers of the borough
have received letters inviting them to
attend the session. AS already pointed
out In this paper, the Clark Thread
Company Is said to be favored as re-
CARDS the placing of valuations. Mar
tin, when asked by the investigating
committee of which he is a member,
regarding the alleged discrepancies, Is
alleged to have said that he copied the
figures of former Assessor Douglass.
II this is true the committee CON
tends that Martin has not lived up 10
his oath Of office and on these GROUNDS
his resignation, 1t is said. VIII 90
sought. Just what Martin will do is not
known. but his friends declare that ne
will not only refuse TO resign u VIII
fight any effort made to GUST him. Al
the meeting steps will be taken TO
have the matter placed before one OF
the state tribunals. and it Is likely tnat
counsel will be engaged TO look ai'e'
the interests of the committee.
It is expected that the hall VIII be
Allied TO overlooking at the meeting
tonight. There Is much opposition to
the present method of placing valus-
tons. The office of the assessor is an
elective one. Martin defeated Henry
McKenna for the assessorship at the
November election. The vote was so
close that McKenna took the matter
10 court for a recount and he lost out
by a small majority.

the markets of the world. BY with

sufficient prompt needs. the Brazilian
industry has been protected.
