CHICAGO. Nov. 1. An an ay of bearish
news and statistic depressed the wheat
market here today, closing quotations
showing net losaaa of a,c to S'ti-Vc Coarse
mains also were weak.
Wheat was Inclined to weakneaa almost
all day, although aliKht rallies occurred
at time on roverlna by shorts. Ieplte
the overwhelmingly beurlsh character of
news the aclllng waa not aggresslva and
the volume of trading waa amall. The
market closed weak at almost the lowest
point of the day, the December delivery
closing at II 4, after selling between
S1.04 and I1.UV4.
one of the prlnrltal depressing factors
was the almost record-breaking size of
the wheat movement last week from Hue
sla. total shipments being 7.7i,000 bushels,
only 64,000 bushels short of the greatest
amount every shipped from that country
in one week.
The corn market was firm early In the
session. The market weakened during the
final half. Trices at the close, were al
most at the lowest point nnd at net de
clines of WtlSc to c
Data wer. quiet and piiccs moved over
a range of Vr. The close was easy, with
prices a shade to Vw'wc lower than Hatilr
duy'a final fUruren.
Provisions were weak. Prices at the

NEW YORK. Nov 1. Operations in stork
today were of an exceedingly desultory
character and the Interest In the msrket
was languid. The one dy of hiieineas In
tervening before th election dsy holiday
had a deterrent effect on the tradera and
there was no part cipatinn In the. market.
The observance of the All Saints' holiday
In London and Pails today also subtracted
materially from the volume of the day's
buslm-sft and deprived the market of an In
l.x of ntiu em on the Imei national m ne
outlook, which is much relied on at pres
ent. The money markets proper, sent en
courng tig news from abroad, and this was
a prime factor In the early rise In price
of stock here. The weekly statement of
the German bank disclosed some heavy
Inroads on resources, Incident to the No
vember settlement and the private dis
count rate In Berlin rose a fraction.
The Bank of England secured all of the
fLVCOOOO Soutk African gold arriving In the
London market without competition, and
at a further recession In tho price, which
wipes out, in effect, the recent premium I
over tne oongaiory price to ce pain uy
the bank which has prevailed while other
centers were competing for London gold
supply. Thin was looked upon as grati
fying evidence of the satisfactory proKres
or recuperation in the Bank or t-jngiann
condition, which was Insisted tipon by the
board of governors. The effect was help
ful to tho New York stork market.
There was a strlklnjr diversion of spec
ulative effort to low priced Industrial
storks and specialties while the more prom
inent trading stocks were neglected. I he
minor member of th teel group, espe
cially the railroad equipment stock were
conspicuous. The Influx of new order for
equipment rrom the railroads was partly
responsible for this movement, which was
based also on the smaller proportion of
the advance hitherto made In thene stocks,
compared with the premier steel stock.
Something whs made of the reports of large
sales of copper metal within the last few
days, but the cupper industrials did not
hold well and sagged with tho receipt or
copper quotations from London, showing
decline in prices.
ine speculation looked somewhat askance
at the terms announced for the new Penn
sylvania stock Issue, which was ut a low
er price than had been anticipated. As
between the Increased value of the sub
scrlytlon rights to the individual stockhold
ers and the low credit for the corporation
involved in the issue at par or a stock
selling In the market In the neighborhood
of 14M, the appraisement of the operation
was somewhat confused.
The resort to a stock Issue at all In
place of a bond Issue Is testimony to the
faulty Investment demand for fixed inter
est bearing securities, which has been re
marked in the bond market throughout the
latter stages of the active speculative de
mand for stocks. The S per cent dividend
rale now existing on Pennsylvania railroad
stock and left unchanged by the day's dec
laration represents. If mnintalned in a hish
rate to pay for new capital. The proceeds
are to provide for the payment of fti0.00u.0u0
of collateral notes, which bore 6 per cent
and of f.'O.OOO.OUO of 6 per cent bonds falling
due next year. Tha stock market tone
became somewhat drooping after the news
of the Pennsylvania directors' action.

CATTLK The week started out with a
good llbt ral run of cattle. 402 cars being re
ported in. Only a load or two of cornfed
beeves were Included in the offerings and
these found a ready sale at fully steady
figures western range beeves were very
scarce and anything at all desirable In this
line sold about as well as last week, while
on the general run of medium and common
stuff prices were pretty close to 10c lower
than the close of last wwek.
About 100 loads of cows and heifers were
on sale this morning and although the de
mand waa very good the trend ot values
was easier all around.
In atockers and feeders there was fair
amount of business done and on the basis
of prices anywhere from steady to 10c lower
than tbe close ot last week.

HOGS Short st'pplies this morning gave
hogs another opportunity to root their way
towaid the 8800 mark. In the neighbor
hood of 2.000 head were received, as com
pared with 1.257 head of last Monday and
S,k'4 head of a year ago.
Both packers and shippers were out early
und bought freely, with the result that ail
of first arrivals changed hands In very
good season. Opening sales were qut
ahly strong aa compart d with Satuiday,
but only a few droves changed hands on
this basis, and the market quickly adlust'd

big end of the receipts realised tills ad
vance, and while light weights were more

and quality not quite as good, the bulk Sold
pretty close to a flat nickel higher.
A few odd shipments brought in by late
trains did not fare as well. Demand eased
off considerably and unfavorable lute
advices from the east exerted a depressing
Influence on the trade, so thttt lit many
cases the early advance was almost wlpid

SHE.EP It was a slow
draggy deal in
the sheep barn this morning as far as
Killing stock was concerned. J'apcr re
ceipts looked pretty liberal, about 22.000
head in all, but actual offerings on the
early market were far short of thia enti
mate. Tardy arrival of many large ship
ments no doubt added to the general Inac
llvlty of buying talent and the current hUh
level of South Omaha quotations as com
pared with principal eastern points did nut
serve to Improve the situation.
Th tendency of prices at the opening
was decidedly weak on ail kinds of fat
sheep and lambs. The latter appeared to
receive the brunt of bearish pressure, how
ever, and any concessions granted wera
correspondingly greater on this class of
stock. It wa well along In the morning
before entiugh stuff had changed hands lo

but the bulk of early sales Is easily quot

The usual description of the feeder mar

session. Despite the fact that quit a
respectable percentage of thin stock had
not been received In time for the first

Ill Tabulating th Returns.
IT ajome Probahl atnlt.
T History of Ceaaaa-TaklB;.
Preparation Is being made for the taking
of the thirteenth census, the thirteenth
decennial stock-taking of the Vnlted States
of America. During next year the fedeial
government will ask the people of the coun
try some billions of questions. In th ag
gregate, and upon the answers to these
questions will be based the new measure
ments of the growth of the nation. The
questions and answers will relate not alone
to populntion. but Also to wealth, health,
well-being and almost everything else that
enters Into the life of the busiest people
on earth.
Kvery msn must answer the census tak
er's questions, some will be asked only a
doxen or two.' some must answer ino or
more. This great statistical photograph
of the American nation will cost the gov
ernment not less thsn 114,000.000. It will
require an army of 65,000 inquisitors. The
greater part of the questioning will be
done between April 15 and May 15. DM.
After all the data is gathered will come
the work of tabulating the returns, of in
terpreting the data and of publishing the
results. The completed work will repre
sent the balance-sheet of a decade's doings
of nearly 90.000.000 busy people.
The taking of the thirteenth census will
represent the most stupendous summing
up of thihaTS ever undertaken by man. At
the present time th twelfth census repre
sents the greatest statistical Inquiry jver
made, but the thirteenth will excel the
twelfth as that one exceled everything
that has gone before. In the number of
people to be counted It will be found. In nil
probability, that there has been an In
crease of nearly 20 pr cent 14.000.000 more
people to be Interrogated than there were
last time. And Uncle Sam will have many
more billions of dollar In wealth to count
this time. If he grows richer onlv half its
rapidly between 1904 and 1910, as he did
between 1900 and 1904, lie will have over
830.000.000,000 of wealth to count above)
what he had In the twelfth census. And so
It will be In every lln of inquiry. Thl
means added work In the preparation for
the enumeration, added work in the actual
gathering of the data and In the Interpreta
tion of It.
Although the most extensive and thor
ough statistical inquiry ever made, tho
thirteenth census will be captained and
generaled by the youngest set of men who
ever have taken a federal census. Direct ir
Durand Is not yet 38 years old, and his
lieutenants are for the most part but little
older than lie. Secretary Nagel desciibod
him recently In tne somewhat slangy but
highly expressive phrase, "a corking good
fellow." He proved hi mettle when he
gathered the statistics In the Standard Oil
prosecution, and that work resulted In his
being called to the present larger task.
There is another thing peculiar about the
Initial work of the thirteenth census. There
are more A. M.'a Ph. D.'s and other col
lege men lined lip td help wake It a success
than ever before.' They can prepare and
interpret census data as well aa "Old Flg
gers" Orosvenor could make an election
forecast In his palmiest days.
The formative work of the thirteenth
census, ao far aa preparing the question
lists is concerned, is now about completed.
There are many different schedules of
questions that will bo asked. The one
which will be used ottenest Is the popula
tion schedule, which contains thirty-three
questions. The next most important sched
ule has to do with the farm. There are
some seven million farms in the United
States, and each farm schedule will have
on it from fifty to sixty questions. After
the farm schedule come those covering th
manufacturing industries, and on the gen
eral and special schedules will appear
many hundred Interrogatories.
In the making of the schedules of ques
tions there are many things to consider.
It is by no means a simple matter of
writing down every question that happens
to suggest itself-. to the schedule-makers.
Upon the number . and tha character of the
questions Asked depends the entire value
of th census: and In th preparation of
th question lists there Is , more science
than In all the remainder of the work to
gether. There are two principles that must
govern those who frame a schedule. The
fewer and the simpler the questions aaked
the greater the accuracy in gathering th
data; yet on the other hand the more ques
tion asked the more susceptible of cor
rect interpretation will be the data. Ho

Preparing the Data
medium; he must mske the questions few
and simple enough to ccue essettttal ac
curacy In collection, yet Jinny and. elabo
rate enough to secure accuracy of Inter
pretation. Director Dm ant cites the Instance of oil
statistics lo llluMi-ate how It Is necessary
to have more than Ibe figures of cost and
production to show the true condition of
the oil business now and a wore of years
tm. Then the oil was shipped mostly In
barrels, and the jmr gallon pi Ice for cen
sus purposes was made to IncUide the cost
of the retailers. Now.lt Is Hhlppexl mainly
In bulk, and the per gallon price does not
Include the cot of retalleis. So. In order
to proerly compare tho past with the pres
ent many questions must be .asked tq
elucidate the relation between oil and con
tainers. , .
Another thing the schedule framers has
to bear In mind Is that there are doiens
of questions that might bo asked, which.
If they could elicit the Information de
sired, would give the most valuable data.
Yet from the nation-wide standpoint It
would be Impossible to gather Information
on such points. The man who makes out
the questions always muM consider what
arc the possibilities of getting satlsfactoty
answers to the questloq h would ask.
For Instance. It would he highly edifying
to know Just how much pin money each
person In the 1'nlted States spends In a
year. Yet how many people, could even ap
propriate their expenditures of small
change?
The population schedule Is now, as It
ever has been, the most Important of ay
the schedules. Primarily denlgncd as a
mere counting of noses for the purpose of ,
apportioning representation In congress, all
the other Inquiries have corno about as in
rldentlal and collateral, and although they
are of deep Interest, the actual Count of the
people Is still the most lmHilant phase of
the work. On this count may depend the
political complexion of the nation. This
year the population schedule will carry
some new questions. One will be relative
to whether a person Is an employer or an
employe, and If the latter, how steadily
employed he Is. This was added at the
Instance of the labor organisation. What
the man w ho lives on a salary and hires a
servant will answer is something of a
pusxlc. Another question will relate to
whether . the person questioned waa a
union or an confederate soldier, and the
showing upon the question will be of in
terest. The preparations for tl taking of the
thirteenth census are the most thorough
and satisfactory in the history of census
taking. This Is the first time tbere ever
has been a permanent census to serve as a
nucleus for the greater orgunlzaalon. The
permanent census established Is, made up
largely of the eream of the force which
took the twelfth census the people who
made food In that undertaking. . As th
standing army farms tbe nucleus around
which the country goe upon a war foot
ing, so the permanent, census force gives
tone and direction to the raw recruits
that lmve to be mustered in for the big
count. ....
While Uncle Ram has insisted by an sot
of nonrress that every man, , woman and
child make true and faithful une..r when
the enumerator comes around, and ha pro
vided a fine and imprisonment for wilful
failure to give guch answers, he a equally
careful to assure he- ye.ople that they
shall be protected' If they answer well and
truly. The enumerator Is required to hold
in sacred secrecy the things he learns In
the discharge of ids duties, and a Jail sen
tence stares him In the face If he divulges
any Information he obtains. No matter if
he unearths the blpgest tax-dodger in the
rouniry; no mutter it jib iwiua even a. no
torious criminal, his mouth must be for
ever closed.
Much has been written about the dlvotc
Ing of the thirteenth census from aiolltlcs.
Of course those who know' the ways of
politics are aware that an absolute divorce
is out of the question. Yet there la this
much that seems certain: While politics
still will figure In it to Some extent, It
'will not in anywise be allowed to Interfere
with the excellence of the work or the ac
curacy of the returns. Where all else Is
equal, the republican naturally will get the
best of it. but political considerations
never will be allowed to outweigh the in
terests of the work Itself.
With the preparation of "the thirteenth
census . the most complete in tho history
of censuses and with the people possessing
a deeper Interest in government,! affairs
today than ever before,, those whri. are ac
quainted with' the situation" believe thai
conditions are ripe, for the- must satisfac
tory, thorough, and accurate rensus the
nation lias yet seen even if It is the thir
teenth. By Frederick J. Xaaxin. '
