WHEAT CLOSED FIRM. Tonebed a Low Point nnd Rallied. Corn Lower nnd Provisions Steady. CHICAGO, March 1.

The steadiness of Liverpool and a New York report of liberal export sales were a support to the wheat market to-day. Mav closing firm. a over yesterday at I May corn closed -gc lower, and May oats a shade up. At the close provisions were steady and unchanged to 6c higher. 1 A splurge of activity, due to the report from New York that 46 boatloads of wheat had been taken for export, was the only Incident to break the monotony of trading In the wheat pit to-day.

It was a day, generally speaking, of covering shorts, with the undertone steady because of the steadiness of Liverpool In the faco of the slump here yesterday. The abrupt curtailment of the Liverpool resaion was something of a damper on the activity in the local pit. The tight was waged around 6oc for May. This option opened a shade over yesterday at 60I4C, toui-hed 6Ge. ami then sold off to 64c.

At 65c some wheat came out on stop-loss orders. On covering by shorts the market steadied and fluctuated narrowly till near the end. The report that 46 loads had been taken for export advanced May to 65'c before further reports less bullish covering the foreign sales arrived. Atlantic ports clearances In wheat and flour were equal to 47.W0 bushels. Primary receipts were 52H.0U) bushels, compared with 540.000 last year.

Minneapolis and Duluth reported 530 cars, againnt 409. a year ago. Insal receipts were 20 cars, none of contract grade. In the corn market the selling pressure and the demand were arrayed against each other, apparently to see which could be the more indifferent. The result was a slow and heavy market.

Country offerings were small, but so was the export demand. The open reduction in Eastern freight rates was taken Indifferently. Receipts here were 451 cars, 76 cars over the estimate. The oats market was firm, helped by the reduction In freight rates, as much of the oats business Ih for Interior points. Trade was quiet.

Local receipts were 160 cars, 35 cars over the estimate. Provisions opened steady because hog receipts were under the estimate, but turned weak on commission house liquidation, loiter In the day the general demand Improved, packers buving. and the market rallied sharply. On the bulge there was the usual profit-taking, which took off the edge of the advance, but the close was steady. Estimated receipts to-morrow: Wheat, IS cars: corn.

The discharges of the kidney secretions were very frequent and scant, and attended with a burning pain.

I would ba so nervous I could not sleep. I tried different kinds of kidney medicines, but they did not seem to relieve me. Mor row's Kid-ne-olds were recommended to me so highly that I decided to try them. They greatly relieved my condlUon In a very short time after I began taking them."

ALLEGHENY. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE TO KEEP SEXT YBAH'S LEVY DOWS TO 30 MILLS. ACT OF ASSEMBLY IN THE WAY TRIEXXIAL ASSESSMENT ADVAXCB WIX NOT BE EJtOl GH.

Want to Assess All Property nt It Fall Vnlnatlon Trying- to Abolish Classification Role. "More money!" Is the cry of the Pittsburg machine. More taxes will be the burden of tha citizens of this ring-ridden city. Yet it will" not do to make the increase too apparent. There is an old traveler's story that in some part of the world are animals who will patiently carry packs so long as they do not see the load placed upon them.

Then they He down and die. The machine la afraid of having the taxpayers die on its hands, which would be 'Unpleasant and unremunerative. "The Post" hai stated several times recently that the tax levy for 1901 would be at least 20 mills. The machine is now trying to keep It down to that limit. The latest and most desperate attempt was made in the recent recommendation of the sub-flnance committee, that all the real estate in the city be assessed at full valuation.

The argument was that all the property derived the same benefits from police, lighting, parks and other public improvements, and therefore It was unfair to discriminate a logical but specious argument, the assessors say. The triennial assessment Is to be made this year, and that will bring up the assessed valuation with a rush, but even that is not enough. On that basis the tax levy for 1901 will have to be 22 mills. To avoid this the sub-committee's suggestion was made. At present there Is over $120,000,000 of rural property and over $10,000,000 of agricultural.

The first is assessed at $80,000,000 and the latter at about $3,400,000. Bringing all this into the full class would make a difference of about $50,000,000 for taxable purposes. In other words, at 20 mills on the dollar It would increase the city's annual revenue by $1,000,000. and would prove even more remunerative than allowing the present classification to stand and making the levy 22 mills. The moat curious feature of the suggestion is that it did not emanate from the board of assessors.

Messrs. Fulton. Gosser and Sprague were asked yesterday afternoon If either was responsible for the idea, but each disclaimed the honor. They doubt if it can be done under the law. The act of 1897, which strengthens; previous acts on the same subject, is unusually direct and clear for a legislative enactment.

It says; "The board of assessors shall classify the real estate tn such manner and upon such testimony as shall be aduced before them so as to discriminate between built-up property, rural or suburban property and property exclusively for agricultural or farm purposes. Including untillable land, and to certify to councils the aggregate value of city, rural and agricultural property subject to taxation, and in so classifying the property the character shall determine Its It shall be the duty of councils in determining the rate cf taxation for each year to assess a tax upon agricultural, farm or untlllable land equal to one-third the highest rate of tax required to be assessed for said year, and upon rural or suburban property a tax not exceeding two-thirds the highest rate required to be assessed. So that upon the three classes of real estate th3re shall be three rates of taxation." Assessor Fulton does not see how councils can abrogate this law, which has leen forcibly and liberally interpreted by the courts. In many cases where appeals have been taken from the assessors' classification the' courts have supported' the appellants. This year during the triennial assessment there will be a number of changes.

In the Twentieth ward this win be especially noticeable and much rural property will be moved up from the rural to the city or full class. This is due to the rapid building up of this section. Fnnernl of W. W. Barr.

The referee states that it was established that the transaction was made within four months prior to tha filing of the petition in bankruptcy with the purpose of hindering or delaying the creditors, and conoequently the writing is invalid.
