,i Front Street, Jan. 11. The principal
events In tUa local -wholesale markets
today were: ' . ,
, Big decline In salt. ,
, Chinook salmon lower, - r ' ,
t Hogs go lower. '. " '
, Eggs still weaken.
.' ' 'Predictions Are Confirmed , ; v
' The exclusive predictions which were
made" In The Journal on Saturday in
"regard to the salt market were con
firmed today by the announcement that
prices had slumped. According to all
si h( imjahci a A aa Vi - t. -
.called salt trust, and from this date
forth It will be. a free-for-all fight in
'the making of prices and the securing
:nf bllHlneRH. Fine tnMa Rait wont ilntun
95 cents a bale, while coarse half -ground
salt Is 11.50 a ton lower. Liverpool im
ported salt Is unchanged today, but the
slump In the other salt market la sure
" to make Itself felt In that line also. The
., independent concerns are now more ac
tive man ever ana sre meeting every
"cut made by the former members of the
combine. One thing is definitely known,
and that la the wholesale grocers of this
city are not carrying very large stocks
of salt nowadays; they are Just buying
enough to supply their trade from day
Vto day,' This looks as If the jobbers do
not have very much confidence In the
situation themselves.
Chinook Salmon Is 3Lower. -
,' The quotations on Columbia river
Chinook salmon are S cents a pound

in the receipts. The fish markets are
welt supplied with all small fish with
the exception of smelt. ,
Bogs Are tower.
' Although the receipts of hogs are not
.over large along Front street, still the
-market went lower today on account of
the fact that former quotations were a
'trifle too t rained and the slight in
crease In the receipts caused the price
"to go down. Veal is very scarce and Is
, bringing top quotations. The beef mar
ket is about the same as on Saturday,
Eggs Still Weaken.
.', Receipts of eggs still show an In
crease, and although the movement is a
trifle larger the market is only weak.
iu iop oi ub mantei loaay was ii
cents with a few sales made all the
way from 26 cents to that figure.
Poultry la Demand.
The many conventions which are be
ing held In this city during the week
will make a large call for poultry, and
the market today was quite good for a
.Monday. Receipts are-not overlarge.
Turkeys, ducks and geese continue to be
wanted.
V Much Weakness la Cheese., . .
Ths cheese market Is very weak .arid
' stock la ulinwlnt onlv a draarsrlnar ten
dency. Some sales of cheese were made
on the street today at 13 cents for full
cream stocks. Receipts continue to
show an Increase. -
Butter Is Better.
The quotations show no change In
the- butter market today, but the very
best grades of creamery are showing a
decided Improvement in tone. Ordinary
'grades continue to drag along wearily
. and country store and dairy have the
same dragging tone. No changes ap
pear in the lists.

Chicago, Jan. 11. Logan & Bryan ad
vise: The wheat market closed about
H-cent higher. The Improvement was
apparently due to Armour. The news
for the day was on the whole bearish.
All ' tha foreign markets were lower.
Consols were higher and the political
news' was' less warlike." Primary" re
ceipts are nearly double those of a year
ago and the visible supply Increased al
most 2,000.000 bushels against less than
400,000 bushels last year. The South
west had rain and the cash situation
continues dull. Argentine weather? is
unfavorable. : Apart from the large Ar
mour holdings and operations on this
market the situation, looks to us weak
and prlcea high. ; !
Com a Bhade. Xlglier.
.The corn market is Just a shade
higher. Local receipts were fairly lib
eral, but the total movement into ' the
primary markets Is small, ".There ia
some Improvement in the cash demand
and It is on the whole a fairly good
one. Improvement is about as expected.
Armour is supposed to be long, but
in ' the main the trade Is rather limited.
There Is, however, the same absence of
selling pressure to which we called at
tention some time past, i
Oats Quiet and Unchanged.
- Oats are quiet and unchanged." There
Is very little doing worthy of comment
in a speculative way. Receipts con
tinue small and sharp demand furnished
an undertone of strength to the mar
ket
TJnohanged te Bhade SUgaer.
Provisions are unchanged to a shade
easier. Hog receipts are large and are
16 to 20 cents lower. There was less
pressure from scattered selling last
week and this accounts for the tone.
Conditions are not materially changed,
however. Receipts of hogs are large
and are likely to continue so. We still
think provisions should be sold on the
hard spots.

-How" mucK a few flowers add ta thel
decoration of a room, even If they are
only one or two planta! The best way
to keep them fresh and green is to keep
them aa near the light as possible. As
it is a- great trouble to move them all
the time you will find It a good plan
to have a stand made of light wood or
wire with casters, so that you cau
draw it away from tha draughts at the

the blinds have been drawn, and the
daylight shut out, these few flowers
seem the only things left to remind us
of the outside world. .

Second line, Between Germany and the
; United States Being ' laid.
From the New York Sun.
The fourth cable line to connect this
city directly with continental ' Europe
will be completed next year. "
There Is already a German cable start
ing from the little island of Borkum,
near the mouth of the Ems, and extend
ing to this city by way of Fayal in the
Azores. The second line- takes exactly
the. same route, end has been completed
as far as the Acores. -
The Gorman government sgreed to
pay to the German Atlantic Telegraph
company $178,600 If the line was com
pleted to the Alores by January 1. 1904.
In spite of the very unfavorable weather
conditions on the Atlantic during the
past few months the line has been laid
to the Asoree. and is now in operation
between Borkum and Fayal. ' f
The second half of the line Is now to
be laid,, and the German government
has agreed to pay the company? a cer
tain sum If it is completed betweerl tlw
Azores and New York by January 1,
1806. It is believed the line will be
in operation in thi city some months
before that time,
There will thus be a direct double
cable service between Germany and this
country. It Is said that the new cable
win"be"able to handle a "considerably
larger amount of traffic' than the first
cable, and the two cables will be likely
to assure telegraphic communications at
all times, as there Is little probability
that-the working of both cables would
be simultaneously interrupted.
TBJB GXCrAXTXa FILL IITDTJSTBY.
The plll-maklng' Industry is described
at length In the'eurrent Leslie's Monthly
with especial reference to the Detroit
factories, the outnut of which is 4.000.
000,000 pills a year, or 60 per cent of
the entire American product.
If tWe annual pill harvest of Detroit
were strung on threads like popcorn,
the rope of pills would reach twice
around the earth. If this string of pills
were cut Into lengths, each of the 86,-
000,000 women and girls of America
could have a different necklace of pills
for every day in the year, with an extra
long one for each Sunday. Aa a mat
ter of fact the average consumption of
pills in the United States Is about ' 40
per capita a year, " r
In these Detroit pill factories large
logs of wood from Indian forests are
ground up. In the "mass-room" there
are dosens of rollers with men at them
mixing all kinds of colored stuffs. From
here the preparation goes to the
"noodle" machines, giant , mechanisms
which have a capacity of 2,000,000 pills
a -day. The half-finished product Is
conveyed next to large copper kettles
Which revolve with a pandemonium of
noise each, whirling about with a deaf
ening clatter 10,000,000 pills which are
lri process of gliding or receiving a coat
ing designed to make them palatable,
- But for most the sweetened coating Is
required, and at the great pans bare.
armed men stand with ladles in their
hands pouring quantities' of colored
syrups upon the whirling: pills.- Un
numbered thousands of these dance and
tumble against one another and up 'the
shining sides of the copper pans, dls
trlbuting the syrup so evenly over them
selves that when they are done no one Is
more heavily coated than Its compan
ion, . l: : -

Naturalists commissioned by the
United States government have discov
ered on the distant Uland of Laysan In
the Paclflo some new birds and many
novel facts In regard to known species.
The visiting scientists were perhaps the
first human beings whom the myriads of
birds that crowd this tiny speck of land
had ever seen.' "In consequence, birds
representing species which in other lands
wing hurriedly away at the sight , of
man carffe up to the naturalists, looked
curiously into their faces, perched on
their writing tables, wonderlngly in
spected the tripods and other accessories
of the cameras, and permitted themselves
to be stroked. The fact that these birds
are ordinarily regarded as the wildest
species made a profound Impression on
the visiting scientists.
Among the odd instances of lack of
fear on the part of these birds of Iy
san was the action of an albatross, which
came up and peered into the face of Mr,
Fisher, one of the scientists, and, find
ing that he was disposed to be friendly,
began to make a critical examination of
his camera. Many of the young birds of
this species on the Island acted as if
they had beert reared as pets, so friendly
and confiding were they. The miller
bird would come and look over the manu
script which the naturalists were pre
paring on a table, and when the men
dined tha Laysan finch and rail walked
about their feet, Industriously searching
for any crumbs that might fall.
On naturalist in trying to nhotosrraDh
tha nest of a rail 'stationed his camera
not more than two feet away; but while
be was in the act of focusing the Instru
ment the bird fearlessly stepped into the
nest and began to cover herself with the
lining of soft fiber. Sha was photo
graphed several times, and was then bod
lly lifted, off the neat and carried some
distance.. The naturalist hastened back
to tha camera, but before the photograph
could be had the rail was calmly seated
on her nest again.

The plans for the spending of the
$2,600,000 given by Mr. Carnegie to his
native town outline an architectural
paradise likely to excite envy. Even
the king who used to sit in Dunfermline
castle drinking the blood-red wine would
have appreciated 'the comforts of home
which ar thus to be placed within the
reach-of the. humblest workingman by
the bounty 'of the barefoot boy who left
tne town to seek a fortune.
A landscape effect goes, with each of
tha cottages, which blend harmoniously
Into a satisfactory color scheme in which
details of vlneclad porches, gardens,
even tha Interiors with the pictures on
tha walls, have been arranged.- The ten
