Chicago Change.


 Chicago, Nov. 23-If there had been more business wheat might have made a more respectable gain today, as there was dis tinct firm tone to the market but owing to the moderate amount of trading only indif- ferent results were achieved. A falling off in northwest receipts. as compared both with last Saturday and with the corre- cars respectively. was the leading item of encouragement for the bulls The export clearances for the week. 2,9i7, ,OOO bushels, al though not up to those of last week, nor of year ago. were. neVertheless, conslderable to be trife smaller than harvested this year and 40 per cent of the last crop in the farmers hands. December wheat opened from 56ls to 56c. advanced to 56ssc, closing at esAc bid. a shade higher than yesterday. tial change in value.
 Corn-Lighter receipts of corn than ex- against an estimate of 74is. Inspections from store were good at H5.2l1 bushels. and according to Bradstreets exports for the son with those of the corresponding week Hast year, 1.437. .000 bushels. against lS9O0O ta Set as did also 'ss the strength Rs of n" wheat Trade was too restricted. however to per init of any decided impression being made Fractional improvement which took place early was lost on only moderate offering, & and 9Reasa at cosng t tSe ater l shade under yesterday. Cash corn was quiet and steady.
 Oats-Trading was confined to profession als and carriers. and very little of that was done. The range of prices showed only were, therefore. absent from the market May oats closed unchanged from yesterday Cash oats were unchanged.
 Provisions-An advance in hogs and the strength afforded traders pretext for buy ing, the effect of which was seen in slight gains early in the session. Later in the day those who had bought turned sellers. Jan uary pork closed shade higher than yes terday, January lard and ribs unchanged.
 The domestic markets were quiet.
 The leading futures ranged as follows:

Governor Oates speaks out without equivocation or mental reservation and says he is not a candidate and will not be one for the office of governor. He says that he is a candidate for the United States senate and will be in the race to the finish. This is wise conclusion of the governor. There is now but one can didate for governor-Captain Johnston. Let the democracy of Alabama tender him this nomination by exclamation and elect him by an overwhelming majority at the August election. It will be a fit ting reward to loyal and faithful dem ocrat and a man of ability <nd business sagacity, who can conduct the affairs of Alabama in such way that the people of this great state will be proud and can point to his administration with pride Hartselle Enquirer

Cotton Letter.

Cotton Letter
 New York. Nov. 23.--(Special )-The week closes with a more hopeful feeling in cot ton. Liverpool seems at last to be paying heed to the light movement and again ad- vaneed today.
 Our market opened about S points higher then weakened and lost half the gain, but afterawrds rallied sharply. closing at the highest price of the week. January opened at S.S3, declined to S29 and closed at S.370 S.3S with the tone firm
 The bears contend that the crop shortage has been fully discounted by present prices, and that the disturbed condition of affairs in the east forbid the expectation of a high CT market. Among the local traders there is strong disposition to accept profits on every advance. and the short interest hav- ing been practically covered during the week it may happen that the pressure of selling orders will counteract what we re- gard as the natural tendency of prices to improve. This may give us for some time fuctuating market. but unless the move ment should show a decided increase, which does not now seem likely, we are of the opinion that the fear of q yield even smaller than the average estimate of the bulls will presently alarm spinners everywhere and cause material advance. Such an advance, if 1t should come. will be based upon a sharper demand for consumption. The spec ulative spirit which few weeks ago gave so strong a support to the market has been revived, and an improvement in prices now would probably be safer and more perma- nent than that which marked the middle of October. On every depression in the market we think well of buying cotton.

MUST HELP SILVER.
Western Senators Give Out Their Ul-
timatum-Got the Cinch.

Washington, Dec. 7.-Senator Dubois
says the friends Of silver do not look for
any favorable legislation during the pres.
ent session Of congress, and that, in view
of the hostile attitude of the president
he did not believe any special effort
would be. made In that direction. The
silver mon, he believed, would 40 far con-
troll the committees that they could al
any time bring MP free coinage bill, and
IL was very likely thst q number oi
speeches in advocacy of such measure
would be made during the session. The
wisdom Of making prolonged eight with
the full knowledge Of it, hopelessness, be
said, was much doubted by the silver mon
and II was altogether likely that they
would content themselves with reaf1rm.
ing their allegiance to the cause, rather
than prolong the session whom no sub.
stantial good can possibly result.
The senator, however, wss very posi-
tive in asserting that no issue Of bonde
would bs authorized or other financial
legislation permitted without some sub
stantial recognition given to silver; nor
he continued, would any measure pr0vi-
ding for the retirement Of greenbac.:e
pass the senate, except silver be given an
important place Ia any scheme for pre-
venting the contraction Of the currency
which necessarily would be caused BY
such retirement. He, therefore, did moi
look for any financial legislation at the
present session.

SWICKHIMER'S BIG MINE.
Receiver Wanted for Enterprise Min
ing Company, of Rico, COlO.-lm-
nense Dividends Paid.

Newark, N. j. Dec. 7.-Application was
made before Vice Chancellor Emery to-
day for receiver for the Enterprise
Mining company, incorporated under the
laws of New Jersey with capital of
$2,5O0,0OO.
The property and mines of this COM
pany are situated at Rico, Colo. John D.
Wood and other stockholders made the
application.
The company was incorporated in
1891, and has paid $825,OO0 in dividends.
During the last two years no dividends
have been declared.
The stockholders claim that there is
enough paying ore in the mines to pay
and that if the property was properly
managed it would pay good dividends.
The stockholders say that D. G. Craw-
ford and other directors have mismanaged
the property. The latter say that since
the repeal of the Sherman silver bill it is
impossible to work the mines at profit.

$1O,OOO,OOO FOR MINES.
A New York Syndicate Organizing ia
Invest In Rocky Mountain Gold.

Denver, Dec. IA Times special dis-
patch from New York says: A syndicate
is being formed here with net cash cap
ital of $10,O00,OOO for the purchase of
gold mines. The money is all to be put
in bank if the plans of tho organizers
succeed, and they will then send out ex-
perts to seek for desirable mining rop-
critics.
The operations of the company will not
be confined to any one field, the promot-
ers of the scheme are all looking to Colo
RADIO, and especially to Cripple Greek.
The syndicate is composed of very
wealthy men, who will be able to raise any
amount necessary to take possession of
and work any good property they can get
hold Of.
Colorado's gold mines are attracting
good deal of attention in New York.
Most of the New York papers are de-
voting much space to the subject. There
will be an immense exodna Of people from
the east bound Tor Colorado next year.
