COTTON.

New York, Dec. 16.-This market
presented this morning an unsatis
factory outlook. The bullish temper
was still in the ascendant, but it was
believed that fresh reaction was in
order before the upward movement
could be resumed with chances of
success. Gables were down this fore
noon both for spots and futures, and
the weather map shows a very salts
factory situation in the cotton belt,
the temperature being low and the
weather fair. Indications early in
the day pointed to small receipts,
but this failed to make any impress
sion on the early market, which was
, to points lower.
Liverpool closed quiet and steady.
Futures unchanged to 1 decline;
spots 1872 lower; sales 10000.
sPOTs-MIDDLING.
New York, 1916; sales 1900; firm.
New Orleans, 1 A; sales $4,000;
steady.
Liverpool, Is; sales, 10000; fair
demand.

naAIn And PROVISIONS.

Chicago, Dec. 16.-Wheat: Liver
pool woke up today, advancing on
some futures pence, this was sai1
to be on news of crop damage in Ar
gentine. Paris opened lower but
Berlin was 3-4 higher. Amsterdam l
cent and Buda Pesth higher. Win
ter wheat receipts were small ana
that market firm. A large amount
of calls bought by sorae houses yes
terday led to silly rumor that Lei
ter was again in wheat. Market has
been strong with covering by shorts
and p good deal of mystery around
call price. Scalping market still,
with more outside business.
Corn-Market has been strong, but
toward the close there was liberal
selling, and any change In rates as
noted in wheat would affect this
market.
Oats-Active and strong. This
grain takes care of itself very well.
Provisions - Prices steady, with
some outside buying. Cash trade
fair.

ITO BE, OR NOT To BE?'

It is reported that an effort will
be made at this session of Congress
to secure the passage of a bill per-
mitting the sale of beer on Indian
reservations in the Indian and Ok
lahoma Territories. - Shawnee
News.
The ARDMoREITE is against the
proposition. The sale of beer on
these reservations would be a vir
tual license for the sale of whisky;
therefore, if we cannot remain pro-
hibitory on all intoxicants, we
would rather see the throttle
thrown wide open and allow the
sale of all liquors known to the
thirsty, like they do in some states.

ATTACKS THE CURTIS BILL.
Suits Brought to Determine the Rights
of Mine Owners.

South McAlester, Dec. 15.-An
interesting suit was filed in the
United States court here today.
The case is styled w. Fl. Ansley
ct al VS.. n. B. Ainswvrth ct al,
and brings before the court the
constitutionality of the legislation
contained in the Curtis bill and
the Atoka agreement, by which the
rights of individual holders of
coal claims is taken away.
The complaint, which contains
45 pages of typewriter matter,
sets out very fully the provisions
of the treaties under which the
Choctaw government was organic
ed, the rights conferred, the con-
stitutional provisions of the Choc-
taw nation and their laws, customs
and usages under which the rights
of coal discoverers originated. 1t
alleges the discovery and acquisi-
ton of the present coal claim, and
its lease to o. E. Woods. 1t sets
up that O. E. Woods and James
Elliott. as general manager and
president of the Ola Coal and Min
ing company, are proposing to pay
the royalties due to plaintiffs into
the treasury of the United States,
and to apply to AinswOrth and
Burris, as coal trustees, for new
lease of the premises.
1t attacks the provisions of the
Curtis bill and AtOka agreement as
being in violation of the constitu-
ton of the United States, and as
violating the rights conferred by
the treaties between the natl ms,
and as taking away rights that
have existed and had been acquired
and vested under existing laws
without due process of law, with
out hearing and without compen-
sation.
The prayer for relief asks that
defendants Elliott and Woods and
the Ola Coal and Mining company
be restrained from making an ap-
plicatiOn for a new lease and from
paying the royalties due plaintiffs
into the treasury of the United
States, and asks that the defend
ants AiuswOrth and Burris be en-
joined from receiving such applica-
ton for new lease, and from is
suing or executing the same.
1t is understood that all who are
interested as owners of coal claims
and royalties have joined in max
ing this fight in the courts. The
hearing is set for January Sd, and
the result of the litigation will be-
watched by the general public, as
well as by those interested.
