CHICAGO, Dec. 27.—Friday, which will witness the close of the great trude, bids fair to prove a memorable day In the trade. No great excitement Is expected In the wheat pit, but In oats a squeeze of shorts may occur. "The wheat deal of my son has brought to the farmers of the United Slates 10 or 15 cents more for their wheat than If he had not gone Irto it," L. Z. Leiter said today, In talking of the great battle between Joseph Leiter on the one side and the elevator com panies on the other. "My son has been the benefactor of the agricultural In dustries of the country to that ex tent. The seller Is now dictating the prices of his product, not the pur chaser. Chicago makes the market, price of wheat, not Liverpool. And the local influences which have been so long for constantly lower prices have ceased to control Chicago markets.” The first purchase of wheat by Jo spph Leiter was made in July lust at. til cents. The price for real wheat, such as the farmer sells, has been 99 cents and *1 for several days. This makes a total advance since July of about 3f> cents. Leiter, sr., gives the ordinary course of the markets credit for between 20 and 23 cents of the rise. The remainder he attributes to the substantial support given to prices by Letter, Jr., during the last six months. It Is believed that Mr. Letter has been turlng a trick on the trade in oats while everybody has been watch ing wheat. For weeks the oats pit has been practically deserted, I.ast week there was a disagreeable surprise to the men who hail sold 6,000,000 bush els of oats for December delivery when they learned that no oats were being delivered. Then they awoke to the fact, that In all the Chicago ele vators oats measured but. 050,000 bush els of the contract grades, it was Wednesday when the discovery was made. The price of December oats was then 20% cents. On Friday the mar ket, closed at 22% cents. A cent ad vance In oats Is as good as 4 or 5 cents In wheat. It Is too late to rush In a supply to meet the calls which will be made for the grain at the close of business on Friday. Those win have not delivered the grain accord ing to contract will be called upon to settle at the closing prices.

Third .tMl»(Hiit I’lMitmHNtcr (icnrml -%*k* for I WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.—Third As I slstant Postmaster General Merritt, who will have charge of the selection of subjects for the series of Trana Misslsslppi exposition stamps, which the postmaster general has olllcially announced will he Issued to commem orate the exposition, has written a number of letters to leading artists of the country asking for suggestions relative to designs. Three divisions are suggested in the letter: First—That they should contain portraits of distinguished people iden tified with the country. Second — Appropriate historical events should be represented as illus trated by existing paintings or en gravings. Third—Unique pictures of national scenery or of other things associated with the progress of the Trans-Mis sissippi region. General Merritt said that It would be his aim to give the exposition a series of stamps that would be artis tic in eharactf r and would appeal to all classes of people and especially typical of the greater west. Incidental ly he suggested that possibly one of the stamps might contain the repro duction of the celebrated etching known ns “Fremont Hoisting the Flag on the Rocky Mountains.” The well known statue of Thomas H. Ren ton at St. Routs contains upon one side of the base a quotation from one of Mr. Renton's celebrated speeches, wherein he outlines the possibilities of the country beyond the Mississippi, and it. has been thought that, the Ren ton statue would he an appropriate design for one of the stamps. The complex picture which han^s in tne west corridor of the capltol. known ns vvutti wHru mi. chirm Hioutwi hardships attendant upon the pioneer and suggested by Bishop Berkley's quotation "Westward the courts of empire takes its way," was also men tioned by General Merritt. There is a picture In the rotunda of the eapitol—De S do’s discovery of toe Mississippi river—which might also be used upon one of the denominations. General Merritt said the department would endeavor to select subject* that had been uaittltd or engrave 1 an<t would not eall upon artists to draw new scones, which would necessitate a great amount of time, hut on the contrary, would endeavor to get pho tographs, reproductions of famous paintings anil personages, so that the engraving of dyes might be quickly done. The stamps will b° some-./lint of the same shape as the Columbian stamp, twice the size of the present postage stamp. They will he sought, after by collectors, and as the** are nearly half a million of these people the government, instead of being of philanthropic, expects to realize handsomely upon the issue. Colom bian stamps today are selling at prices many times higher than was once paid for them and they are growing mote valuable each year. It Is the same way with the Centennial stamp, and It will also be true of the Trans-Mississippi stamp. Suggestions of scene on stamps are invited by the potofflee department as It is General Merritt's desire to give the exposition the handsomest set of stamps ever issued to commem orate an exposition. Klondike KlntfM Chrifttiniia. NEW YORK. Dec. 27.—James I. Clements, the "Eldorado king of the Klondike,” who is at the 1-afayette hotel, displayed one of the costliest if not the costliest Christmas tree which will lie seen the world around. On this richly laden three were 750 $20 gold pieces and nuggets and pres ents worth $5,000, which brought the total up to $50,000. Last vear the man who fixed up the Christmas tree dined on Christmas day in the Klon dike oft a piece of cariboo meat, with the top of a tin lufd bucket for a plate and his fingers serving the pur poses of knife and fork. The tree occupies space in the Hotel l.afay ette, and those fortunate or unfortu nate enough to be allowed to feast their eyes upon this prodigal display of wealth were granted permission by its owner to sift the $20 gold pieces through their fingers, to lift double handfuls of gold nuggets, and guess how much they were worth, and every visitor carried away a lit tle nugget whether "the Eldorado king" had ever seen them before or j not. for Indemnity.
