December Closed at an Advance of
Two and One.HaIf Cents.

Chicago, Nov 1S-The heaviness which
has been the chief feature in the grain trade
for two days past culnSnated at the opening
today. There was a drop in prices in all
markets OH first trades. Wheat touched
76c-, December
Wheat became the leader, with bull
market, and prices Were lifted nearly &c.
in two hours There was some covering by
shorts. some investment buying, an increase
in the volume of trade, and better feeling
in all quarters.
Many of the big commission houses in the
wheat trade wired their customers last
night and early this morning to buy wheat
on any further weakness this morning.
Their advice was in substance that the mar
ket had droppeG-five cents, and that a
rally was due.
While the commission people We're reach
ing outsiders the individual bulls in the
trade and half a hundred others We're
figuring the same way They had their
bull clothes on. All they wanted was a
further drop in prices at the opening. They
got this. 1t was to their advantage also
that opening prices We're down It the points
where puts were sold on the curb.
The December option opened with sale:
at T6 3-sc. and down flat to T6c. This
started buying against puts by people who
were waiting for these prices to be reached
Among these was Cudahy, who took wheat
through numerous brokers. This started
buying by shorts.
The advancing market drew out bull
news Just as a big fire draws the wind,
which increases its force. The advance was
not checked until December sold at II 3-ic,
nearly &c. recovery from low point.
There was a remarkably good advance
the last half hour. The December price
moved up from a 1-2c. to IS Lars 5-Sc.,
and closed IS 1-2c-, . 1-2c. up from open
ing. There was no special news the last
hour. Very many in the trade worked for
a reaction from the early advance. At the
last they were frightened into covering
their lines. The result of the day. trading

In its order
Gen Billut read short statement de-
Claring that the question was an extremely
grave one, the interests Of justice and The
country being at stake. The cOurt-martial
which had tried and sentenced Capt. Drey-
fus had been regularly constituted and
after an exhaustive examination of the
case haG been unanimous in prunouncng
judgment against him.
Later the council uT revision had given
complete consideration To the case and had
Unanimously rejected Drcyfus' appeal from
the judgment oI the CuuTJ-martial and no
body. Gen. Rilb said, had "A right to re-
open the case. Every precaution had been
takento prevent the escape of Drcyfus from
the lie du ADnc, ga the coast OF French
GUAM. where he is confined. He CON-
cluded by appealing To the patriotism of
the chamber not 10 debate the question.
N. CaStelin persisted in the discussion of
his motion amid murmtrs of dissent and
demanded the prosecution of the authors
of the campaign in favor of Dire yfus' re-
leas., who, he said, had spread broadcast
the most infamous stories of Drt yfus having
been the victim of plot.
Finally the chamber almost unanimously
voted confidence in the government and
conviction that the government would
search for the persons reSponEinlc for any
revelations in regard to the condemnation
of Dreyrus. il there should b. any occa sion
TO do SO.
The government only accepted the order
of the dag in consideration of the addition
of the last words of the resolution. They
had previously insisted upon the order oi

WANAMAKER IS PASSIVE.
Willing to Go to the Senate if People
Want Him.

New York, Nov. ST. am not without
employment" said John Wanamaker today
to reporter in answer to an inquiry re-
garding his announced candidacy TO sue
ceed Senator Don Cameron, .'but IL
the people of PENNSYLVANIA want me to
represent them in the national Senate l
am willing TO do so. l am merchant,
not politician, and. lam not see kim G par
ticularly after public office, but l have
said through the National Lea que of Busi-
ness Men in Philadelphia in response to
their MESA ge, thai consent to be q can
didate for United States Senator.
Yes, there viii be other candidates, l
have no doubt No one has an exclusive
patent ri ght on tlie title to a Senatorship
and if several people seek it all there is
left to do is I'd sGbmit the matter to the
commonwealthof FOR decision. That tele-
graphed last night to the Philadelphia
business men ! would do. What others
may do 1 am not informed. / speak for
myself alone. My candidacy is not based
on antagonism to any one. If the people
| want me to go to the Senate, well and good;
il they prefer some one else, why, as have
said, / shall not be without employment
81 believe that the time is here when
certain well defined, practical principles
| must be applied, 10 our national legisla-
| tion," continued Mr. wanamaker, ..if We
are to conduct tile nations affairs on as
sound a basis as we would our own indi-
| vidual interests. PreSident-elcct McKin-
| ley has a difficult task before him. He will
need all the aid he can get, particularly in
| the Senate, for his function as President
is purely executive.
"The two questions OF tariff and finance
are to be the conspicuous problems of the
new administration, and the conflict be-
tween business methods and theories in
| their solution was not ended by the recent
] election. l may say that did not get the
/ Information l possess on these subjects
from books but from long procession of
incidents in a mercantile career running
back for some years. My belief may not
| be the correct one, but am of opinion
that such an experience is not without
! value in the consideration OF revenue and
| financial policies that must be formulated
! during the next national administration :"
! ''Is Senator Quay taking any part in

How to Stand in Cars.

Always face the sides of the car,
never the front or rear. When the
car starts lean slightly in the direc-
ton in which it is going. When the
car is about to stop, lean toward the
rear. Plant your feet as far apart as
You comfortably can. When car
turns corner, incline the body toward
the inside curve of the rails, and when
feasible grasp the strap ON side of car
over this inside curve, thus reducing
the strain to maximum. Non-ob-
seryance of this particular rule is the
cause of the frantic clutches and invol-
untary displays of affection which the
ISLANDERS sometimes bestow upon those
seated. Tie philosophy of such a
rule is as follows: You lean toward
the direction of the starting car so that
your body, which does not acquire the
forward motion simultaneously with
the car shall, so to speak, not be left
behind. The starting of the car re-
stores the body to its usual erect pos
ture. You lean toward the rear
when the car stops to counteract the
forward momentum acquired by the
body while the car is in motion. In
rounding curve you lean toward
the inside rail to counterfeit the CEN
trifugal force which tends to throw
objects from the center. But the
main thing for you to remember is,
always face the sides of the car.
These. rules are particularly applicable
to cable cars, which rarely fail to start
OF stop with jerk. When alighting
from car, place the left hand on the
brass rod provided for the purpose Il
assume that yon alight on the railless
side) and face the front of the car.
Even if the car is still in motion you
are then safe. AS for boarding NOV
ing cars, should advise you to wait
until your grab is better adapted for
higher Observation-Disclosures jew
eler.
