Resolved, That we urge the farmers
throughout the United States to band
themselves together and by petitions to
their representatives asking them to
have laws passed that shall henceforth
stop all dealing in futures.

WILL ANNEX HAWAII.
Plenty of Votes in sight in the Senate to
Ratify the Treaty.


CHICAGO, Nov. ia special to the
Times-Herald from Washington says:
Ratification of the Hawaiian annexation
treaty by the United States senate is assured
The administration has made poll of that
body, and a result President Mckinley is sat-
isfed that more than two-thirds of the SEN
atOrS will vote for ratification. When the
treaty was submitted to the senate on
June IS last 50 senators were depend
ed upon to cast their votes in favor
of the instrument, IL senators were
doubtful and 81 were opposed to its ratification
Since that time the administration has taken
steps to ascertain the views of men who were
then in doubt AS q result President MCkin-
ley is depending upon 81 senators who will GER
tainy cast their votes in favor of the treaty with
prospects of the addition Of several votes to
this number. The treaty is in excellent shape
for prompt action. 1t was fully considered by
the senate committee on foreign relations,
reported to the senate and placed on the
calendar with practically the unanimous in
dorsement of the committee There were no
votes cast against it, though Senators Turpie
and Daniel refrained from voting because they
had not fully made up their minds as to what
position they would take in the matter. 1t is
said to be the purpose of Chairman Davis, at
the first executive session, to ask that day be
fixed for taking up the treaty Ratification
during the early part OF the year is confidently
expected.

approval that he steps down and out
1t is likewise with the appreciation
and, in fact, love of his brethren OF
the order, that this is done.
The afternoon session was princi-

Mr.. Sovereign's annual address, which
was listened to by the delegates with
the greatest interest and greeted with
enthusiasm. The work of wholesale

NEW YORK, Nov. i3.-Bradstrects re-
port says:
One of the most significant features of the
business situation is found in the continued
heavy weekly totals of bank clearingS, that for
six business days ended November II, amount
above the preceding week and l3 per cent COM
pared with the second week of November 1895
when business began to revive sharply in spec
ulative lines. Railroad gross earnings show
smaller gains as comparisons begin to be made
with more nearly normal conditions one year
ago.
Other favorable features are the continued
firmness OF and activity in WOOL iron and
steel Already there is an improvement in
prices of and demand for cotton yarns The
unfavorable influences in price movements this
week are declines for cottons and print cloths
the latter touching the lowest price on record
Wheat, lard and lead are also lower, and wire
nails have been shaded There is long list Of
staples for which prices are practically un-
changed. The more important advances are
confined to Indian corn, oats, hoops and tur-
pentine. Colder weather in the central west
and northwest has stimulated the demand for
winter goods, particularly clothing There is
the total throughout the United States this
week being 213, compared with 225 last week,
