Chamber of Commerce.

Wheat futures were weak from the start at
about 757Sc for December and sc for May.
A fair demand was created by the decline,
and considerable May sold at about sc:
After that early demand had been supplied
the market was slow until IL O'Clock, when
it fell to 754175Ssc for December and lssc
for May. with quite large amounts Of May
Offering and fair transactions. Later there
was further weakening and some huctua-
lions to the close of the session. One cause
of the weakness was the decentralization in
trade at Chicago, due to further liquidation
of December and TO a report that the Illinois
warehouse commissions are in session there,
having under consideration the question OF
reducing the standard of wheat inspection,
Liverpool was reported steady. Receipts in
the Northwest were still heavy, reaching SSS
cars at Minneapoiif and Duluth.

Receipts of wheat here 592 cars tor the
last twenty four hours in Minneapolis, with
147 cars shipped. Buyers OF car lots held
back from the start expecting drop during
the day. Receivers held on for yesterdays
figures, but not getting them began taxing
less. A few cars were bought to go to store
at 7714c, but the same buyers later fell to
76siG177c. 1t was a hard market to sell on
and equally difficult for buyers to make satls-
factory results, due mainly to the sharp
break in futures and some loss of confidence:
The morning range was 77@78c, mostly at
at 77@77Hc. Buying was by local millers,
outside millers and local elevator companies.
The later dealings in samples were pretty
low at about 76Slc and Sl.5O, switching OFF
from that netting about 1850.

Is THE OIL GOINGl

Figures from the geological authorities
are published in our local columns showing
the decline in petroleum production. As a
deduction from these statistics, Prof. Ash
burner points out the probability of a
steady diminution OF the Pennsylvania
field until it shall become minor factor in
the petroleum market.
We have had occasion to notice predic-
tions Of this sort. based, if we remember
correctly, on the authority of State
Geologist, in past years. While the news
of declining production from the high
water mark of3O 900. 900 barrels several years
ago, have been measurably fulfilled, it is
worth while to remember that the alleged
moribund oil field has shown the ability to
develop new sources of production at unex-
pected junctures A rise in price has gen.
orally not only brought new fields into ex-
istence, but has also shown the ability of
older fields to increase their output from
small wells which do not repay operation at
low prices.
We do not think that it is yet time to give
up Pennsylvania supremacy in the pro-
duction of Illuminating oil. If free COM
petition can be re-established in the trade,
Pennsylvania may continue to light the
world with profit for good many years to
come

A RESULT OF TRUSTS.

The organization of large sugar refinery
at Baltimore, with a capacity sufficient to
supply about one-thirtieth of the con-
sumption of the United States. is an evil
dence of what we have often pointed out as
the inevitable result of artifcially enhanced
prices. There is refinery capacity enough
in the United States already to supply the
consumption and some of it is already idle.
But the artificial enhancement of the price
is certain to bring new capital into the
business unless the trust has the means of
excluding it. The operations of the Sugar
Trust have already stimulated the erection
of Spreckels' refinery at Philadelphia and
the new one at Baltimore. Of course the
exactions which the trust have imposed on
the people before the new competition gets
into operation demands the enforcement of
the law; but it is satisfactory to notice that
this legitimate and inevitable penalty is
also getting in its work.

Unjust BE SUPPRESSED.

The reports that come from Chicago, of
attacks upon and attempts to kill witnesses
in the Cronin murder case, with the infer
ence that they are intended to terrorize
witnesses and prevent convictions, may be
largely the outcome Of the excitement pro-
duced by that case. Nevertheless the as
saults made on two witnesses warrants plain
declaration that the laws of this country
must be supreme, and that any attempt to
substitute for them the rule of thuggism
will be suppressed by the united power of
the American people.
Nothing is palmer than that the laws call
for the punishment of murderers. The idea
that any organization, and much less one
that imports to this country the pretense of
prosecuting foreign quarrel. can nullify
our laws, and not only deal out sentences of
life and death, but bring the administration
of justice to naught by terrorizing wit
nesses, is something that calls for very
sharp practical disproof, by the arrest and
punishment of all who are engaged in such
plots. It is to be hoped that if any such con-
spiracies are afioat In Chicago. the machinery
of justice will prove energetic enough to
administer swift and severe suppression.
Persons engaged in such defiance of the
law, should reflect that even if thuggism
can override American justice by secret
murders, it car only result in provoking the
wholesale and indiscriminate retribution of
lynch law.

THE COKE PURCHASES.

The acquisition of the Schoonmaker
plants in the coke regions by the Frick
Coke Company, making an aggregate
ownership by the latter of over 5000 out OF
1900 ovens, is another step in the remark
able movement that has lately come to the
surface.
1t is hardly possible to overlook the in
dications that the extension of the Frick
Company, till it now owns nearly two
thirds of the Connellsville industry, is a
revival of the policy of single control.
The indications that such an operation has
Leen going on furnish an adequate e1plana-
tion of the prolonged and phenomenal re-
tention of the price of coke at an unre-
munerative basis. Whether the purchases
will be extended to take in the entire in
dustry, or the remaining plants will act in
common with their mammoth neighbor, re-
mains to be seen.
But it by no means follows that the
maintenance of high prices for coke will be
practicable. Besides the possible competI-
tion of the 5000 ovens not owned by the
Frick company, new and competing fields
are developed on both sides of the Connells-
vile district. This development has taken
place under the stimulation of recent prices
for coke. If the prices are advanced, there
is no doubt that the process of putting up
new plants will be indefinitely multiplied.
Nevertheless, the new movement is sig
nifcant of changed conditions in the coke
industry. The development of its results
will be watched with keen interest.
