MARKETS.
Edwards, Wood & Co. report: Wheat
was quiet yet the trade,was better than
was expected. Cables were up from
both Liverpool and Paris, the latter mar
ket was decidedly strong on flour.
Bradstreet's world's shipments for the
week were placed at .?,ooo,ooo bushels,
shipments from Argenina as reported
yesterday vyere disputed. A late cable
says Broomhall's estimate is full "l^ooo,
ooo bushels too high. Cash wheat was
not so active, yet some good wheat of
fered .Was sold early. Primary receipts
some less than last year. Receipts at
Winnipeg were strikingly short oil
Wednesday, only two cars were fe
ceived against 300 the same day a y€3&
ago. Several of the mills in Minneapolis
will close Monday for three days for re
pairs and partly on account of scarcity
of good milling wheat. The trade has
accepted profits -yesterday and today
and a large holder was not in the market
and was apparently willing to see prices
ease off a little before renewing opera
tions again. This reaction is a good one
am7noTlikely "to 'extend"much^'hTrther

HOLDS FARM CENSUS COSTLY.
Director North Says Hopkins' Bill WauU Cause
Enormous Outlay.
Washington, Jan. 30.—Director of the
Census North appeared before the sen
ate committee on the census today in re
lation to the bill introduced by Senator
Hopkins. This provides that a census
shall be taken every ten years to show
the number of farms in the United
States, their values arid acreage, the
number of live stock, classified, together
with their value, and the acreage and
value of cotton, corjn, wheat, oats, rye,
barley, buckwheat, hay, flax, rice and
potatoes. Mr. North reported that the
expense of gathering this information
would be enormous. Senator Quarles
said that i£ a hearing on the bill was
demanded by its friends it would be held,
but that he did not believe the measure
could be passed.

Russia has made certain concessions and
that Great Britain will prevail on Japan
to accept them as satisfactory.

v
St. Petersburg, Jan. 30.—An adttitYal
who is influential in the Russian em
pire, was interviewed by the Associated
Press and said:
"The enormous loss which the com
merce of Japan is sustaining as the re
sult of steamships for transport service
probably accounts for the impatience the
Japanese are displaying over the delay
in the Russian reply, but this reply will
go to Tokio next-week. It will be con
ciliatory and I do not foresee other than
a peaceful settlement although it is diffi
cult to feel certain in this respect be
cause of the erratic fcourse of the Japam
ese government during the latter stages
of the negotiations. Japan has increased
her demands while the negotiations were
still in progress bv insisting!'upon treaty
ratification of Chinese soverignity in
Manchuria. Russia has declared her "in
tention not to annex Manchuria, there
fore why comply with a demand thjtt
is tantamount to a humiliating reiteration
of a former voluntary declaration?'
"It is undeniable that the attitude jpf
Japan is causing irritation in St, Pet«*s
burg and that a feeling of impatience' is
growing throughout Russia. It is hard
to account for Japan's persistent aggres
siveness and this must be attribuable to
the incendiary feeling of the Japanese
press which is acting under foreign in
spiration. The Japanese government
must know it Stands no chance -trf de
feating Russia while Japan has much
to lose if Russia forced back against
the wall.
"Should Japan proceed to hostilities
her first objective probably would bc-tiie
cutting of the Siberian Railway for
which purpose she would land troops in
Korea. She could not, however, land
more than 160,000 men and Russia has
an equal number of men in Manchuria to
meet this attack, which, I think, would
be quickly repulsed. I do not believe in
a naval war the Russian warships would
make it impossible for the Japanese
to endanger Port Arthur. But lef me
repeat war is improbable."

Garothun, a successful farmer and stock
raiser living ita Moody County, north of
Sioux Falls, has invented ail ingeht0U&
device for marketing his cattle.
He has constructed a strong pen about
twelve by twenty-four feet in size and
five feet high. This he fastened on sled
runners at each end. There is a gate
through which the animkls may be
driven up the platform. Horses are
hitched tb this moving fence or corral,
and his cattle ?re marketed in tliis
manner.

MILEAGE GRAFT

Washington, Jan. 30.—The house
considered whether members of con
gressman entitled to be paid mileage a
second time. The controversy arose ott
an item in the urgent ^deficiency bill
providing for two payments of mileage
for senators aod members of the 4iouse:
on account of tile extra sessioft which
merged .into the regular session A
point" of order was raised by Mr. Mad
dox (Dem.f Ga.), against the payment
of mileage a second time and he was
supported by Mr. Littlefield (Rep. Me.)
who contended that there had been no
interregnum, and consequently but one
session of congress and there is no au
thority of law for a second appropria
tion for mileage.
The interest manifested in the ques
tion was shown Ty the Tact that there
were few empty seats on either side of
the chamber, when the mileage "item
was reached.
Mr. Littlefield received close atten
tion and was plietl with numerous ques
tions as to his interpretation of the law
and the constitution. An adjournment
was taken before. conclusiou was
reached.
This afternoon by a vote of 167 to
nothing the house sfrtick out the mile
age appropriations for both the house
and the senate from the urgent deficiency
bill.

I want to say to the public and to
