New York, J)rc, IS, Galveston,
'it., chiefly by it own exer
tion unit the financial tupnort
pivrn ly it citijetNi. recovered rap
idly from the disaster which the gi
Kantic wivet of the ej caused. And
thi recovery wa tiften referred to
as an exemplification of the energy
and rouraue of the modern south
Baltimore,"- winch mood appalled
for a few hourt after the devastating
fire wn put wider-control, neverthe
less speedily forpct the past, heitan
constructive work nt in a wonder
fully (hurt time had buildcd a new
ilaltiinore.
Daytcn, O., and the district tf
which it is the center, bcj?an within
m few hours after the flood Imd
hroiiRlit go prtvt a trrfjedy in the
li of life and property, to plan and
to provide the initial financing bv
means of which floods will never
devastate that large and flourishing
rcpson because the rivers will be un
der perfect control. That work
which has gained a world-wrde
celebrity is now nearly co-nplctcd.
t'uelilo Ijttrst Example.
Tlta latest demonstration of courage n1
of tha ali'llty t;i ntftlis raplii recovery has
lii-en fu -nl -he-l bv Puvblo. Colo. Ttopnrta
have within a day or two re htil New
York which, If tliy ifd nut come from
iithorlt-itt s source, wonlil rmve liee'i
I'-olted upon i-a im-redlb'e. That flood
vh'.i-h b-trnn in the eurlv days of tho
a-imnicr covvie-l a con-ldernble part of
b-.n-liosa neitlo.i and a very larir-j
go-i of ho poorer rrsld-nce d'strlct.
William H. Hoilce, who Is a man of
S'lthnrlty, has returned recently from
l'ucbio a-til reports that tho business men
and In fart all the people have alrondy
made a recovery which matches. It It
dors not aurpnss. the speedy recovery
tufide In other cities or communities whb-h
vein devastated by fire, flood or gigantic
vavea of tho sea.
Thla recovery has atfrnulated action sim
ilar to tlta nna which was taken at 1'ny
tnn under tha leadership of John H. Pat-1i-rson
befuro that how truilitlonal flood
had completely subsided. For the cltl
sens of i'uebto, having organised and ap
pointed a, committee of 1,-purpose tak
ing such notion as- no inattes how tremen
Uoua the cloudburats are or how swift
moving tho currenta -that . ara in thtt
rivera rn-iy be, will nevertheless make
I'ueblo forever ' sec.ur-i sKsinst. another
clisHHter of tl-ut klnil. . ThH lommit'oo
hits gone s tar aa to obtain competent
technical advlrors. H probably will mean
In the end a gronter nnd more Influential
community of which ruoblo t.i the centur
than was tha fact . bsfora tha flooij. ,
ltultdlnga JJore Modern. ' .
One proof of this Is found In tho fact
that the business buildings which havi
been greeted to take the place of thotie
which were destroyed by the flood aro
more modern, and in every way much
better than tlie building which were de
stroyed. The prompt nnd adequate action
of the citizens of i'uublo will gain for
that olty h tradition , wjitch represent
icurnce, 'swift action and .complete r--covery
secured within A few months aftuf
the flood and this will be a tradition
which will match, that other one which
tells of the flood.
One of the many romantio features
associated with the early life of Jameo
J Hill and the Inspiration which led him
at last to undertake the construction of
tho Great Northern railroad was his asso
ciation with the late Lord Mount Htcphen.
Sir. Hill once made a hazardous trip over
snow and Ice In the winds and heavy
cold of the a re tie penetrating- forests that
lay-between Minnesota--a c! la-aiioba, cos
tumed aa though he wis .traveling'. In
search of tho North Pole and dolnf this
because he desired to hav , ront-ultatlon
with Lord Mount Stephen. Presumably,
out of this consultation came the In
fluences and tho opportunities which led
Mr. Hill to undertake the construction
of a new railroad almost paralleling t-ur
northern boundary line and stretching
from St. Paul to the Pacific.
Aided HM'a .Project. '
Whether Lord' Mount Stephen Wet ramu
(o New V'ork with Mr. Hill ulon any' Of
the occasions when Mf. Hill WSs' nego
tiating for the finahclnr of part of tho'
tires t Northern rallfoad: Is' doubtful. Th-re
used lo !) k Irnditlon that -ho, ' -togoUi r
with Lord'Wount Stephen, spent several
hours with one of the great international
banking houses of New York and a3 a
i fault of that visit the financial assistance
vim!i was sought was obtained. At all
everts New York,' Canada and London
financed the construction of. the Great
Northern. '-
With Lord Mount Stephen and Lord
Strathcona, one American was' associat
ed In the construction of the Canadian
Pacific, railroad. , -He waa Sir, William
Van Home, who began life In a humble
way In an Illinois village and who after
wards received recognition from Great
Britain through tho bestowal upon him
ot the honor of knighthood,
A few years ago Sir WllUam sojourned
for a few days In- New York City He
was on his way to Cuba, where he . was
constructing a railroad system In the
tropics which w-tuld match, relatively
speaking, the monumental : work which
he did In the construction of the Canad
ian Pacific in the sub-arctlo rcjlon.- He
spoke while In New York of his rela
tions with' Lord Mount Stephen, saylna.
that he hnd heard that although Lord
11.-in Ste-hen wrs nearly SO yet he
was In excellent health, very vigorous
iciituiiy, and might live to be a hun
dred. I", S. Wealth Greatly Increased.
Now all of those who were associated
V'ltH Mr. Hill tn transcontinental -railroad
construction, both In Canada and in
the I'nlted States, have, with the recent
death of Lord Mount Utephen, passed
away. In fact, not one of the very able
almost supprmen whe conceived and built
the trans-continental railroads In . the
United States and In Canada is now liv
ing. O. P. Huntington and Leland Stanford,
Hopkins and Crocker who conceived and
then built the Southern Pacific and the
Central Pacific-systems no longer live.
Their achievement together with that of
Mr. Harrlman who really created the
modern Union Pacific have increased tho
wealth of the United States by billiona.
Their share In thla Increase of wealth was
comparatively small. Mr. Harriman's
was perhaps the largest' for his esl-ite
was about JSO.OOO.OflO. There were other
great railroad builders of that now earlier
day. James J. Hill. Henry Vlllsrd. the
Boston men. Sears and Perkins, who made
the Atchison system what it now is and
in the east, Garrett of the Baltimore and
Ohio, Scott of the Pennsylvania, and the
Vanderbilta of the New York Central were
deveioped-.ng great railroad systems. It
may be that the hostility of the public
to the railroads and legislation by federal
and atate commissions have made tm
. possible for new railroad leadersnip simi
lar to that of the past.

Corn showed a ttrongf undertone

The greater part of the early newt
wat of a bearith character, and with
lentiment favorable for lower

May was easily attained. Scattered

Export demand for wheat from abroad
was dlssppointltif. and while there wera
claims of 400.000 to 600,000 bushels hav

In some quarters as to the sales. Omaha

Liverpool Close Higher.
Liverpool closed 6ild hlghsr In the

December corn failed to get below the
prevloua day'a close, due to buvina- bv
several strong commission houses, snd the
i-naerione was nrm at tne start. The
late strength In wheat and prospects that
the I'nlted States would huv 20.000.000
bushels corn for Russian relief had some
effect on the market. The trade Ignored
a decline of VttTc In caah grain as
compared with December end reports
that foreign bids at the seaboard were

were claims of 100.000 bushel sold
abroad. Domestic shipping sales aggre

cars.
Outs held within a rana-e of Vfi'Uo
and closed at the ton In aympathy with
corn. Trade was light and mainly of a
local character. A good class of buying
was reported at Winnipeg on resting or
ders and that market gained on Chlcsao.
Kxport clearances for the day were 60.000
bushels, indicating sonie business has
been done abroad without being reported.
Bnmple values were unchanged with re
ceipts no cars ana snipping sales oi 6t,

Exporters were after cosh rye and took
10.000 bushels here, and there were other
orders somewhat under a working basis.
Futures were dull and influenced mainly
by the action of wheat. Receipts, two

K: V.- RosenhaUm, president of the
Rosenbaum Grain company, cabled bis
firm from Berlin:
"Do not think It possible to sell any
whest here at oresent. even on credit, as
stocks are ample until April or May. Of
ferings from Argentina are cheaper than
our wneat.
The Northwest Miller said that flour
sales, although still below normal, were
a little better last week. j-jxporiere

The output of flour by Minneapolis mills
was 18 3.000 barrels, tne iigntest oi any
week this year. . "
Armour was credited with buying De
cember corn in the pit as well as Kemp-
ner.. Selling was scattered.

recession, followed by a midday sag, the
cotton market's undertone Improved- to
dav, but the advance was modest. In the
last hour, after rising two to 14 points
above the previous close, the market Hip
ped off a bit under realizing and tha final
bids were four ponts lower to three points
higher on the dsy, the tone being steady.
Towards the middle of the day prices
fell off to a net decline of 10 to 16 points
and part of the pressure undoubtedly re
flected Liverpool's late depreasion. In the
early afternoon the market showed better
ability to resist pressure and by the end

activity on the ttik market with
rising prices for induttrialt, high

the first decrease gf the reserve per

krt. The reduction of 1-2 of 1 per cent
in the reserve' ratio was not ranted,
as was that of a month ago, by de
creased gold holdings and lamer de
posited reserves oi member banks,
but by $20,300,000 increase in reserve
note circulation. This is a very usual
incident of the seatnn.
More than l.ont.oon shares changed
