Attorney General 1'yle. who has returned
to the cltj' , said ho had not yet decided what
action he will take In regard to n suit for
recovery ot Interest alleged to have been
taken by ex-Treasurer Phillips , but is con
sidering the matter. Unices he feels certain
that the state could recover he will henl-
tate to take any action , as the case would be
an expensive one. and to rush In on a
chance alone would not pay.
The question of the deficiency appropria
tions of the railroad commission has been
receiving a great deal of consideration from
the appropriations committee of the two
houses and the Drobabllltlen are that they
will receive a great deal of pirlng. Charges
are made for laundry work and tips to
sleeping car porters , as well ns for hotel
expenses nt times where the commHtee
considers that finch charges are not allow
able. For Instance , there arc charges for
board nt Pierre during the legislative ses
sion , when the members of the commis
sion were not holding meetings tor the
consideration of matters before the com
mission , but only looking after their ma
terial Interests before the legislature. The
Idea appears to prevail that the state is
to pay all expenses of any class to the com
mission , as well as their salaries. Such an
Interpretation of expenses does not meet
with general legislative approval and all
such charges will be cut out of their claim.
Tlio bills for attornejs' fees are also con
sidered rather high and there will be car
ing In this direction. One ot the mem
bers of the sub-committee ot tlio senate
appropriations committee appointed to ex
amine the deficiency accounts of the board ,
stated. "There was no disposition to cut
ofi any needful expense of the commission ,
but that if anj thing wns found In their
bills which had no right to be there , It
would certainly be cut out , " and the Indica
tions now are that a number of Items will
bo thus cut.

When the matter of the location of the
convention of 1900 was taken up , Colonel
John Donlphan extended an Invitation from
St. Joseph , Mo. He argued that the as
sociation Is strong In western ranchmen ,
but weak In feeders and the holding of the
convention In the heart of the corn belt
would strengthen it In that particular.
A. B Robertson of Texas , on behalf ot
Fort Worth , invited the association to hold
Its next convention there , as the greatest
cattle-growing center of the union. A tele
gram from Governor Sayera of Texas was
read , urging the association to come to his
state next jear. Invitations were read from
the Commercial bodies of San Antonio and

NEW YORK. Jan. 27. R. G. Dun & We ,
Weekly Ue\ltnv of Trade will say tomorrow :
The countrj la In a stronger position than
a year ago. Remarkable strength 'n Its In
dustries Is an Important but not the chief
clement. Public confidence In the business
of tlio country and In Its securities has
been tested to an unusual extent by the
euddcn fall In stocks and the subsequent
rise. Confidence In the value of wheat , corn
and cotton has been shown by the marUets
and at rising prices the world buys because
It has to buy.
The vast supply of unemployed capital
has been shown Impressively and the now
nnd startling Independence of foreign money
markets fixes attention. The lumber movement -
ment Is unusually large for the seas > on , prices
of low grades sharply advancing. Knilrcad
earnings and tonnage Imvo ehown surpris
ing gains. Treasury receipts are gaining
and a vote on the peace treaty has been
fixed for Pabulary 6 ,
The weak points In the situation may
first bo considered. Wool grows weaker ,
because forced by speculatlcti a jear ago
to prices which the market for goods could
not sustain nnd hns been much embarrassed
In trjlng to sustain ever since Western
bankers txgln to alvlse speculative holders
to sell. Goo Is are In much greater demand
because prices fairly proportioned to the
reduction of about 10 per cent In wool since
n year ago have boon made In Important
openings. The sales of wool nre still small ,
manufacturers bujlng nt Philadelphia where
prices are yielding rather than at Boston
whcro great efforts are made to sustain
them , but Iho movement ror heavy weights
Is still disappointing and comparatively
slow. Larger orders for light wclghtti keep
many works employed. Bales for the week
lia\o been 6,403,400 pounds , and for foui
weeks 22,899,200 against 30,421,070 last > ear
and 26,547,600 fop t\\o jears ngo. Cotton Is
U of a cent higher nnd goods have been
strong. Uellef that damaged cotton will cut
down the jleld helps Increased demands for
goods to raise prices for both. The receipts
are light , cotton growers have teen a. rise
of over 1 cent per pound from the lowest
point to tempt them. Goods ha\e risen on
many grades , about 4-10 per cent on re
ported qualities against 5 per cent on raw-
cotton , and the consuming demand Is
strong.
I'lg Iron has risen at Chicago because of
higher freights from tbe south , cad nt
Plttsburg a shade for Reesemer nd Orey
Porgo because of growing demand , but for
the moment the rise of 2 per tent in pig Is
exceeded bv the rise of 2 per cent In
products. The pressure for many products
Is such thalt the works are able to make
their own quotations and rails nnd birs r.t
Plttsburg and wire nails have slightly ad
vanced. The demand Is hea\y In nil lines ,
covering 30,000 tons rails In one contract
for a southwestern road nnd many of small
er quantity , 20,000 tons bars , and many for
a less quantity co\erlng 5,000 steel cars for
the Baltimore and other rmds , with ship , car
and miscellaneous contracts ; numerous
bridge contracts with one pending from
Canada and others from All parts of the
world ; 10,000 tons sheets at Plttsburg with
hca\y business elsewhere and a general de
mand never surpassed. Nails are advanced
by the combination , pipe works nro crowded
and negotiations progress for their c.iisolt-
datlon as also In bridge building.
Wheat hns risen 8 cc-nts with much buy
ing based on extraordinary exports. From
Atlantic ports for the week , flour Included ,
3,813,301 bushels against 2.071.330 last jear ;
from Pacific ports , 321,255 against 1,180,272
last week and from other ports , 462,454. In
four weeks the exports from both coasts
have been 19,675,088 bushels agalust
16,718,925 last year. Reports of Injury to
winter wheat always come at this season
but count for little when the farmers are
selling heavily.
Corn has advanced 2 tents , although ex
ports have been ll.G13.3n5 bushels against
13,061,477 last year and the surprising con
tinuance of demand equalling last year seems
to be forgotten. But official trade returns
show that this one feature cunts for mil
lions In the > ear's excess of merchandise
exports.
Failures for the week 1mo been 221 In
the United States against 342 last year and
33 In Canada against 34 last year.

NEW YORK , Jan. 27. Bradstreet's to
morrow will say :
The apparently steady rise In the tldo of
general business haa been diversified thin
week by an outburst of speculative Interest
of a number of staples , notably cotton ana
wheat , which heretofore have registered
steady gains on actual consumptive demand
rather than oa the development of marked
bullish speculation.
Largo transactions and buoyant prices
have been features In these staples and
signs are not wanting that sympathetic ,
though smaller , movements In a number 01
other lines mo either under way or con
templated. Exceptional industrial activity ,
particularly in the Iron and steel trades , la
another feature of ahe market , and hero
prices are guuially better , the claim beIng
Ing made that speculation has not as jet
entered Into the buying In this branch of
Industry. The same claim , however , can
hardly be made as regards a number ot
movements toward consolidation In this ana
other Industries where , in fact , the move
ment toward combination Is described ae ap-
pronchlne a virtual craze. In the regular
onmnels of distributive trade tctulltlous
continue In the main satisfactory , the vol
ume of spring orders at most markets be
ing reported aa larger than in any recently
preceding year at this time.
While It IB hardly possible to fix the entire
responsibility for bullishness In wheat ana
cctton upon the movement which has so fai
proved successful In stocks , the claim la
freely made that considerable profits realized
In the block market have sought expression
In the channels ot stuule food and textllt
distribution. Color Is given to this claim
by the fact that the situation In actual
wheat shov.s but little change from recent
w eeks.
It Is true that the tendency to pare down
alleged oillclal estimates of Russian croj *
and tome weather reports from the west
[ have been tnoro encouraging to the hold era
of actual wheat , but the magnitude of thfa
outburst of new buying shared In by former
persistent shorts hi wheat nlono hardly ex
plains the activity Ui this market , which has
resulted in the highest price reached since
the collapse ot the Letter deal. Activity In
nearly all clashes of Ircn and steel la re
flected In advance for necrly every class ef
pig Iron and steel billets , rails , wire and
plates Announcements of a largo numbet
ot consolidations and combinations projected
or under way are a lea a feature In tbe do
main of other metals , notably copper nnd
tin , speculation and actual demand alike
, made for higher prices , llettcr reports ore
'received ' from the lumber trade In a num
ber of cltkti and a number ot advances arc
maintained with confidence in the outlook
for spring business.
Some Improvement in the dry goods trade ,
la to be noted at pastern points , notably
Philadelphia and Boston , where advances In
eottciis .irci maintained , Wool , though firm ,
U slow of sale and finished products , with
the possible exception of dreas woolens , do
, : iot move as freely as hoped for , a feature
this week. In fact , being the very tow prices
announced by some manufacturers.
General Industry Is reported autlve , nota
bly soft coal mining and ship building. An
encouraging feature in the former trade * hac
been the wage settlement made with 100,000
'western ' coal miners for another year.
