ALL CEREALS LOWER
MAY WHEAT LOST 7-SC AT CHICAGO

Foreign We3 kness, Heavy Primary

CHICAGO, Dec. 17.-Foreign weakness,
heavy primary receipts and small shipments
pounded all bullishness out of wheat to-day.

oats closed i6c lower. Provisions are I'M
changed to &c higher.
Wheat at the opening evidently felt the
heavy realizing that took place late in yes
terday's session. Buyers were in the mar
ket only after small lots. Liverpool showed
closing declines of 3sQ3sd. This was prob
ably the result of yesterdays late break
here, but had effect on Chicago traders
nevertheless. May started Ac lower at 6I42c-
Before any support of consequence was
given May declined to 67AQ67ssc. Then
buyers became plentiful. Further connrma-
ton of damage to the Argentine crop by
rains proved the incentive for covering that
carried the price up to 67$4c in a very few
minutes Liquidation, in which heavy longs
were prominent, started, however before the
rise had reached 6712e, and 61s4c was received
for only a few lots. Before IL o'clock the
price had again been forced down to &c,

When Congress Closes.
Washington Special


If there is any one question which is asked
more than any other in Washington it is.
What hour does the legislative day Of
March end?" This question is propounded
because the life of a Congress expires at that
hour once every two years. That question
was settled forty-seven years ago, and this
was the way ii happened:
March g. 1851, at midnight Senator Mason
OF Virginia, whose term expired that day
and whose credentials for another term were
on file, asked to have the oath administered
to him, upon the ground that his right to 81 c
under his old credentials expired at that
hour. The Senate refused to allow his re-
quest and by resolution declared that the
session did not expire until II o'clock me-
ridian the 4th. The resolution which the
Senate passed on that occasion by a vote
of % yeas to IL nays, reads as follows:
Resolved That. inasmuch as the second
session of the Thirty-frst Congress does not
expire under the. Constitution until ~ o o'clock
on the 4th of March instant, the Hon James
NJ. Mason. senator-elect from the State of
Virginia, is not entitled to take the oath OF
office at this time to w.t. on the 4th of
March, at l o'clock a. m.

We had very heavy receipts to-day-one- third

that we could not fill here. our New York and
Baltimore orders have not been half hlled We
have gained several points that we have con-
tended for. The Stock Yards Company has taken
out the scales we refused TO weigh on Tor the
second time and will likely put In new ones.
They posted notice yesterday that corn would
be reduced to 75c a bushel, hay 70 81 a hundred,

A DECREASE IN TONNAGE
THE SCARCITY OF CARS CUTS DOWN
THE LOADED-CAR MOVEMENT.
Black Diamond Company Secures
Line VIII Come to This City.

The train records show that there were
received and forwarded at indianapolis in
the week ending Dec. II a total of $3.50
cars, q .172 being loaded. While this is
decrease of 1919 loaded cars, as compared
with the week ending Dec. 10, it is quite
handsome increase over the number handled
at this point in the corresponding weeks of
previous years. The falling off ia business
is by no means due to shortage IN freights.
for at no former period in the days of rail-
roads has there been as much traffic to han
die usually in December. Every local sta
ton has grain, stock, lumber or produce to
ship, and business at present is limited to
the cars that be furnished. 1t is
aggeratiCn to say that not a road in Indiana,
Illinois or Ohio has cars enUugh to fill its
orders from day to day, and the situation
grows worse, seemingly. Last week local
agents could not get cars in sufficient num-
Der to supply the demands of Indianapolis
shippers, even to load the house freights-
But Tor the large number of cars recently
purchased and their increased capacity the
Big Four and the Pennsylvania lines would
be completely swamped with business. The
Vandalia one of the officials says, could
use double the number of cars to advantage
could they be secured. The Indiana, Deca-
tur & Western and the Cincinnati, Hamil-
ton & Dayton are suffering in their business
for want of proportionatey with the
larger systems Like conditions, say the
Oldest freight men, never before existed In
years past, in some parts of the country,
business with the railroads would be light
and cars, and even locomotives, could be
borrowed. At present every road is using
every car and every engine on it's own sys-
TEN, transferring freights at terminals to
so beyond it's own line with its most friend
~ connections. The snow blockade the
Atlantic seaboard has added to the trouble
as regards cars although in the last day or
two the latter congestion has been some
what relieved. The scarcity of cars applies
as strongly to coal, stock and refrigerator
cars as to other lines. So far as grain cars
are concerned, possibly the restoration of
rates, if they be restored on Jan. 2, may
bring some relief in this one line, but at
present less than 20 per cent. of the bust
ness Of Indianapolis lines is through grain
traffic. indianapolis lines are now handling
more coal aid live stock than in any Deem
Der in years past. Below is given the car
n Cvement for the week ending Dec. IT, and

for 1t comes from authority high enough to
receive consideration that there is not the
least possibility now of such radical changes
as have heen intimated. All along there has
been little credence given the stories going
the rounds. but during the week there were
several moves which looked suspicious in
connection with the stories of changes and
in event OF their Undertaking. a guess was
made as to what might be expected II
changes we're in the wind. 1t was stated
to-day that there is no likelihood of j. F.
Miller, general superintendent of the South
west system, retiring. nor has there ever
been such thing planned. Mr.. Miller is in
the best Of health. enjoys to the fullest the
confidence and esteem of President Thorn
son and other high officials and has years
of usefulness ahead of him. The other
changes are just as remote. Officials and
employees in and about Columbus are salts
fed with conditions as they are and would
very much regret to know positively that
Mr. Miller WAS to retire. Accordingly all
can rest assured that no changes are in
sight. for the information or which this
statement IS based comes as near official as
anyone could wish.
