Joe Letter Says the Farmers Do Not
Get Cost.

Get Cost.
New York, Feb. 26.-Joseph Letter,
noted wheat operator of Is years ago,
the increased cost of bread, that far
mers had long been selling wheat for
less than what it cost. The farmer,
Mr.. Letter said. has nothing to say
concerning what price he shall receive
for his product. That is Usually done
at the terminal markets or exchange,
he added; and the Liverpool exchange
as the leading exchange of the world
usually fixes the price.
MIR. Letter said that although he had
been a heavy speculator in wheat in
1897 and 1898, he had not speculated
in grain since. He admitted he had
not forgotten ANY of the tricks of the
trade" and said he had been inter-
ested in grain since he was a boy.
I'm 1897 ! saw that wheat was SELL

ing young and not knowing as much
as do now. l thought I'd make money
by storing and holding the commodity
until l could sell it at profita BILE
price.
But my plans did not work lost
money on it and the only ones to make
money were the farmers"
The production Of wheat in this
country is gradually being reduced
Mr.. Letter testified. The average far

Chicago Boat-Coroner Wants
Mayor to Hire Divers.

Chicago, July 31.-Coroner Hoffman
today requested Mayor Thompson to
employ two city divers and a naval
expert to check the work of two divers
who are said to be coming here from
Washington to explore the wreck Of
the Eastland.
Reports have reached the coroner
that Secretary Redfield mas ordered
his aids to take charge of the Eastland
and keep off everyone not connected
with the federal government until
such time as the federal officials shall
have completed their investigations.
so much has been said about gov
eminent 'whitewash' that the city
should see that nothing is done to
arouse the slightest suspicion that the
inquiry is not on the square," said the
coroner 4 visited the wreck of the
Eastland last night and was told that
federal officers had given orders to
keep everyone of the boat"
