GRAIN FURTHER DEPRESSED
Unnatural Difference Between the how
er and Contract Grades of Wheat.
Same Conditions Maintained Largely in the
Corn Market. and Spectators Regard
the Situation with Interest.
TRADING AT CHICAGO.

The Advances ON Light Receipts OF Hogs
We're Soon Di>sfpat~d.
CHICAGO, Dec. 2S.-The unnatural diff
ference between the prices of the lower
and contract GRADES of wheat and corn
was the greatest factor with the spec
~ulators to-day. No. 3 red wheat sold In the
cash market ct from SO to oOc. and ordinary
No. 3 spring wheat from $50 to Gle. No. 8
hard spring bringing about CSC. When
compared with from lac to ne for regular
No. 2. and with the further fact that all
cash offerings Of low-grade wheat dad not
find buyers at even the extremely low
prices quoted. heaviness and lower prices
for the speculative grade are not to be won-
dered at. The market for May wheat 10
$50 lower than it closed yesterday. Corn
was governed by somewhat similar condi-
tiona No. 8. at 354o and SEQ. Is out of all
proportion with NO. 2, st 40c. May corn
shows a'deoline for the day of ssc. Provis-
ions opened firm, but closed weak and
lower.
Wheat started of at about the closing
figures of yesterday. with free selling.
Cables then, q shade firmer at the start,
bad soon become weak. and closed at the
lowest point of the day. Domestic mar
kets were also weak. and there were
rumors that Bradstreet's report would
show . heavy increase in the available sup
ply during the last week. Another do
pressing factor was q report that Senator
Sherman had said the anti-optlon bill was
sure to pass the Senate. Tho Wear Com
mission Company, Armour, Kenneth Hop
kins, Schwartz-Dupeo and Adams u sam
mel were tho leading ~sellers. On the break
Walter 81 Co. and Mitchell " EHgleston
were good buyers. From the opening.
which was from unchanged 60 $50 better,
the market, with slight fluctuations. de-
clined 7sc. held stesdier, closing easy $50
from the bottom.
The light receipts of hogs caused the pro-
VISION market To advance St5c IN pork
and lard and .C2ltc for ribs. Realizing
sales by heavy holders were felt IN the
weakness which succeeded. January pork
declined $50 and May s2lac. Lard sold OF.
IN the forenoon and ribs .075c from their
early value. Closing prices were CLOSE to
the lowest point of the day.
IN corn operations we're unimportant,
opening trades being at yesterdays QUOTA
tons. and gradually sold off. under q gem
ersi lack OF support. $50. rallied slightly,
ruled easy, and closed with a &c loss.
Oats. although showing more life. were
weaker, due to sympathy with other grains
and to increased offerings by longs. Their
offerings. coming at a time when there
were few buyers, created weakness. and
prices declined lAc. A fractional rally fol-
lowed, but the close was quiet at nearly
the made and at = NC below Yesterdays.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow are:
Wheat, 40 cars; corn, $50 cars; oats. 1S5

WHY THE POLITICIANS ARE IN
TEREsTED IN GOOD ROADS.

The politicians and newspa-
pers are all just now talking
about the question of good coun-
try roads. This is not only the
case in North Carolina but all
over the nation. Now of course
the farmers everywhere are in
terested in good roads and GER
tainly we should have better
roads. 1t is a matter of no little
importance. But let us stop a
moment and see, if we can, why
the politicians have all at once
taken such a deep interest in the
matter of country roads. Have
they motive in it or do they do
it from genuine love for the
farmers ? Let the farmers be-
ware, for the politicians are at
one of their old tricks. When
the farmers get worked up on
any special reform the politicians
always try to side track them by
suggesting and advocating some
other reform. They do this to
divert the farmers and to get
them divided. When the poll
ticians can get one half of the
people fighting for one thing and
the other half for something else,
they are happy. They want to call
your attention from the SUBJ
treasury, free coinage of silver,
an income tax, the railroad ques-
ton, and the matter of lower in
terests. Don't be side-tracked.
Keep in the middle of the road,
and let us get the reforms we are
now contending for, and then
we will take up others. There
are another set of men who are
talking the road matter. They
are capitalists. They are the
men who get up these road Con-
crosses. They want an excuse
for the government to issue more
bonds, and they are trying to
catch the people by offering to
issue them On roads. All they
want is bonds, bonds! Beware

enthusiastic picnic we have
over seen. The whole thing
wo. admirably managed, and
there was not a single hitch in
the programme from beginning
to end. If the farmers every
where were organized as they
or- in Concord and neighbor-
ing Alliances, the evils OF
which we complain would De
forced to give way, and in a
few years we would be out OF
debt, our lands would be IN
creased in price, our products
would pay a profit on the labor
invested. In short, the land
would again be prosperous,
and the merchant and PROBES
sional man would share it with
us. 1t is passing strange that
men will fight their own Inter
ests, but we have faith in the
providence that is behind a
just cause, and believe that be-
fore long it will win.

WE have received a number
Of letters from members of the
last last legislature congratula-
ting us upon our reply to Sen

men were present when Senate,
Vance took those pledges and
would not have voted for him
otherwise.
A NEW covering for baling
cotton is proposed. It is known
as the s'King Invention" in
stead of hoops and bagglng, a
sheet Of wire netting is used TO
entirely cover the bale, with a
thin sheet of asbestos between
The wire and the cotton. The
latter is non-cembustible and
is a safeguard against fire. IT
is claimed that the weight OF
this covering is about the same
as bagging and ties, and costs
less. IT this Is true, it will
probably soon come into gen.
eral use.
