the Bank of England if required. Ready
credence was given to these reports as
was shown by an all round smart re-
covery in stocks.
Americans were above parity till 2
p. m, when early selling orders from
New York came in. After the Wall
street opening further selling orders
came in and the close was irregular,
most prices being lower on balance.
Money rates were stiff all round, the
general rate for Americans being s per

CHICAGO. December 12.-Wheat
opened steady to-day on prospects OF a
freeze, but weakened on the heavy in
crease in the worlds visible, May clos
ing k@Nc under yesterday. May corn
closed a shade up and May oats I'm
changed. Provisions were strengthen
ed by a hog movement lighter than ex-
pected, small offerings and a good out
side demand, May pork closing l772c
over yesterday, May lard and May ribs
each up SC. May wheat opened &c up
at 69A @69sc, all because some shorts
saw prospects of damage in the cold
snap following the recent mild wealth
er. This advantage was lost on profit
taking and selling against calls. For
some time the market held fairly well
at the decline, shorts doing a bit OF
covering and scalpers buying against
puts. The report of a heavy increase
in the worlds visible, coming when
it had been expected that there would
be little change in the figures, turned
the tide against the price and May fell
to 68%c. Some of this was recovered
on buying against privileges, but the
close was easy, May B@Ac lower at
69c. New York reported no wheat
taken for export. Atlantic port clear
ances of wheat and -four were equal to
2S8, GOO bushels. Local receipts were "a
cars. 81 of contract grade. Minneapolis
and Duluth reported 462 cars, against
1929 last week and S64 a year ago.
Primary receipts were sgt bushels, COM
pared with LIS, 200 bushels last year..
Corn early was easy and very dull,
but the close was firm. A trife was
nipped off the price shortly after the
opening, but this was recovered. The
steadiness was due principally to the
small country offerings and the unwill-
ingness of local holders to let go. The
weather, too, has not turned enough to
promise immediate encouragement to
the movements. Receipts were lib
eral, SIG cars here, and 457, 900 against
779, 900 a year ago at the principal
western points. May ranged from 32Rc
to 32%c, closing a shade up at 32%c.
The oats market held steady, but in
a very dull and l~istless way, the range
being only Bc. Bad weather for move
ment was a support. The shipping de-
mand, while not sharp, was better
Iudu experienced III tuc OluCl SloiA
pits. Receipts here were 3OS cars.
May sold from 23Bc to 24c, closing I'M
changed at 24c.
Provisions were firm, pork especial
ly so. The opening was at a gain and
this as the session progressed, with
some animation at times was added to
in a way encouraging the holders.
Some dealers saw a little mystery in
the strength, believing support more
potent than the light movement, good
shipping demand and small offerings
were at the bottom OF the market.
There was considerable execution of
outside buying orders by commission
houses and a little profit taking by
packers. May pork sold from S10,0715
TO S10.22h. closing TIC over yester-
day at s10.22h; May lard from s5.55
to $3.50, and finished &c up at $3.50.
May ribs ranged from s5.37h to s5.42h,
closing sc better than yesterday at
s5.421a.

BRYAN AND LENTZ.
The Ohio Man Suggested as strong
Timber for second Place on the

Ticket
To the Editor of the Register.
Dear Sir:-I send you by this mail a
marked copy of the Mississippi valley
Democrat and Journal of Agriculture,
containing two articles suggesting a
strong candidate for Vice President
Hon. John j. Lentz. Is it not about
time the Democratic press was discuss
ing the merits of a candidate for Vice
President, and not have the conven-
ton name an unknown quantity, as in
'96? And where could a stronger COM
bination be found that Bryan and
LENT? AS the G. O. p. is in a min
prity in this State by $4,000, it would
seem Ohio was a doubtful State or
good fighting ground for next year.
and therefore good politics to name
an Ohio man for second place-a man
the people love as they love Bryan,
and one whose name and fame is ma
tional-the Hon. John ]. Lentz. Then
the press should work for Lentz for
his untiring labors in opposition to
the Loud bill in the last Congress.
We trust you may frequently n
space in your columns to mention Mr..
Lentz as the strongest mar we can
name for Vice President. But l am
not really anxious for you to mention
my name, but do not have the least
objection to you doing so if you deem
1t ROY l am simply n who loves
his party and wants to do a little in
dividual work and try to get a strong
ticket for next year.
Wishing you the greatest success, l
AM, Yours very truly,
EVERETT ROBINSON,
st. Clairsville, Ohio.
