CATTLE-While the receipts have not
been especially large this week they have
been liberal in comparison to the same
period last year. So far as butcher stuff
is concerned there has been little or no
change in the conditions that existed last
week The demand has been of the best
for all kinds, and prices realized have
been fully steady. We sold some Iowa
fed cattle this week that were just aver
age good dry-fed stuff at $5121A for the
steers and $3.50 for the heifers This
should lend encouragement to shippers
to send in their fat cattle. It will GER
tainly bring the best of prices at South
st. Paul The stock cattle market seems
to have gone to pieces this week, and
mostly for lack Of buyers and a tendency
on the part of those that were in to bear
down on prices. Yearlings, stock heifeFs
and steer calves are all selling fully %
cents lower than week ago. Good
heller calves have held their own fairly
well, and the bulk of the good ones have
been selling around 1915 Best stock and
feeding bulls have also held up close to
last weeks prices, but fair and medium

CHICAGO, Dec 14-Early rather I'M
certain, wheat later in the session today
turned strong in sympathy with corn
and on bullish statistics, May closing 80
Ac over yesterday Corn was strong on
@ good shipping and investment demand,
May closing &c higher. Oats closed no
&c better. Provisions were weakened by
@ liberal hog supply and prof1t-taking,
but closed steady at 212d10c lower.
Wheat opened q shade down for May at
6o1kc, It was believed that the govern
ment report tomorrow would be bearish
and there was some selling on this, the
market early turning dull and heavy,
with the price under puts. Buying against
privileges held the market steady for
some time. when further support was re-
ceived from the strength of corn and the
reduction in the Manitoba yield given
In the official report of the province The
Improvement in the financial condition of
Wall street was also something Of an
influence in the strength near the close.
May closed 1sQAc over yesterday at
69%c.
New York reported Is loads taken for
export. Clearances were equal in wheat
and flour to 3S6, Co., Primary receipts were
light, 474,40O bu, against 1,061,600 bu last
year Minneapolis and Duluth reported
S51 cars, compared with 499 last week,
and 707 q year age. Local receipts were
102 cars, IS Of contract grade.
Corn was exceptionally strong. This
was due chiefly to the sudden squirt in the
all-rail demand, which appeared yester-
day. The investment demand was excel
lent, and there was considerable cover
Ing done by shorts, who saw no prospect
in todays receipts of a greater country
movement in the very near future Sea-
board clearances were heavy, 1,l1O,4OO bu,
and this had Strengthening effect on the
market Local receipts were 172 cars.
New York reported Is loads taken for ex-
port. May ranged from 32AQS27sc to
G3asc, closing at the top re over yester-
day.
Oats were dull, but advanced bit with
corn. Receipts were 165 cars Fluctue-
lions were narrow and lifeless. May
closed 1sG14c over yesterday at 241eq24Ac.
Provisions were steady, but retreated a
shade from the high plane which the
market has recently occupied A lib
eral hog supply and rather free profit
taking were the causes which nipped a
few cents from the price. The outside
demand continued excellent, however, and
the close was steady. The market was al
times fairly active, but mostly rather
dull. The strength OF cora acted as
something Of q support, and pulled the
prices up from the bottom towards the
close, but early losses We're not entirely
regained by any means. May option

NEW YORK, Dec. Interpretation Of
further stress of liquidation in the
stock market were not disappointed this
morning. Heavy offerings were thrown
upon the market from the outset and the
bears were very bold and determined
in Offering prices down. But 1t was
obvious that there was not so acute a
pressure of necessity upon the market to
realize as was the case yesterday, and
several developments over night helped
to encourage a support of prices The
market, therefore, did not at any time

Wednesday. The President OF the So
ciety is a Morgantown man, Judge j !.
Marshall Hagans and he and the other
members resident here have been max
ing great preparations for the event
which is expected to be a very import
ant one to the organization.
Judge Hagans is founder of the
state society having been delegated
some years ago by the National organ
ization to do this work. He has
taken great deal of interest in 1t
and to his efforts more than to any
thing else it owes its existence and
power to-day. Prof. S. B. Brown is
also an enthusiastic member and has
done much to make the society grow.
The number of visitors cannot be
told in advance and will not be known
until they all get in. 1t is hardly ex-
pected to go over thirty or forty.
However there has been a great deal of
interest manifested in the meeting
and many more than expected may
come in. Therei are at present sixty
five members in the state.
A great many applications are ex-
pected to be presented for member
ship. A number OF these come from
Morgantown where there are great
many people who are eligible. One
comes from Honolulu where it was
mailed by lieutenant of the regular
army who was on his way to join
Dewey at Manila and the others who
are fighting the Philippines.
This will be the first time that the
Society has met in Morgantown and
no effort will be spared to make the
event most interesting one to the
members. The banquet which is to
follow the business session will be a
very elaborate affair." 1t will be serv-
ed at the Wallace House and Host
Lantz will see to it that it is right in
every particular. We welcome the
Sons to the town and hope that they
may have the most delightful time
possible while with us.

Not the Same Man.

To the Editor of the New DOMINION:
/ was somewhat disguised at your
uncalled for fling at the W.V.U Law
School in particular, and all lawyers
in general, in your your article Of
yesterday in the matter of A. L.
Jennings recently convicted of train
robbery in Oklahoma. Al j. Jen-
nings mot A. L. jennings attended
the w. Va. u. in 1884. / remem-
Der the young man perfectly. He
took History, some studies in the
Preparatory Department, and some
junior studies in law. He never
graduated in anything. He was here
only part of the session. 1t is just
about as stupid to call on the news
papers to apologize for having stated
that young Jennings of Missouri,
was student in the w. Va. u. Law
School as it would be to require Har-
ward to apologize for every graduate
of that Institution who had subse-
quently eloped with another mans
wife. Respectfully,
ST.. Gro. Z. BROOKE.
