Grain Letter

Chicago. Jan. 9.-WHEAT-The early
cables which were quoted sd lower and
the general feeling that wheat was on
the down grade caused a renewed selling
on part of longs through commission
houses. The absorption Of this wheat
was by a few local operators who were
covering short contracts together with
~ privileges which were in neighborhood
of Csc. The bear news which had been
SO pronounced past few days seems to
have been offset by rurnOrS of war which
were afoat as well as reports that con-
siderable wheat had been engaged for ex-
port. The BradstreetS report, showing
an increase in worlds supplies of IA mil
lion was somewhat of q surprise as a de-
crease had been looked for but had little
about top prices of the day with the fear
OF foreign complications the Only strong
factor.
CORN inclined to be easy carly but it
soon developed there was no pressure to
sell. Country offerings lighter than ever
in the west and cash demand rather i'm
proved. although cars scarce.
OATS have been firm as they were yes
terday, advances prevented by the early
weakness but no decline brought about
Speculation does not increase but the
claim is made that in the past ten days
a considerable improvement has appeared
in the oats export demand.
PROVISIONS have been slow and low
er. The selling seems to have been for
local account and apparently in the ma
ture of a raid to shake out holdings. But
it was not successful in dislodgfng any
amount. Armour is credited as a buyer
are strong and demand good.

A HOT CAMPAIGN
Is Being Carried on Against
FilipinOs in Southern
LuzOn.

Washington, Jan. 9-The war depart
ment has received the following from
General Otis:
Manila, Jan. S.-Bates pursuing en-
envy in south with vigor; Schwan's col
umn moving along shore Laguna de
Bay, struck 500 instructors under Gen
eral Noriel at Bineen, 9Th inst, and
drove them westward on Slang, cap
tured place, from which point cavalry
pushed along to Indang. Schwan cap
tured three of Noriels six pieces artil-
lery and will take remainder, also his
transportation, with records and large
quantity of ammunition
Two battalions Twenty eighth, part
of Wheaton'S column, struck enemy
near linus, killing and wounding 14O.
"Birkheimer, with battalion Twenty
eighth struck enemy entrenched west
dead, forty wounded and thirty-tWo
rifles. Our loss thus far Lieutenant
Cheney, Fourth infantry, four enlisted
men killed, twentY-four wounded.
Expected Schwan's troops will cut
off retreat of enemy's Cavite army.
Wheaton moving on Das Marines.
Boyd, Thirty seventh infantry, NOV
ed east from Las Banos, surrounded
Risal and considerable property. It is
expected that Cavite and san Angus
provinces will be cleared up soon.
In the north, Leonhauser, with three
companies TWenty-hfth, attacked rob-
Der bands in Arayat mountain, dis
persed them, destroyed their barracks
and subsistence, found there five of our
prisoners whom they had picked up on
the railroad; three killed, two serious
ly wounded. These northern robber
bands being pursued"
SCHWAN OCCUPIES SLANG.
Manila, Jan. 9.-9:35 a. m.-General
Schwan has occupied Slang and In
dang, Cavite province, meeting with but
slight resistance. He captured three
guns and a quantity of ammunition.
The roads in that section are very
heavy.
General Wheaton is at Perez Das
Marinas.
The bubonic plague is yet sporadic.
There have been six cases and four
deaths. Preparations are being made
to establish hospitals and quarantine.
Great numbers of provincial natives
are coming to Manila with the result
that the city is overcrowded, the in
crease in accommodations being made
quate and the rice necessary for food
stuffs is more expensive than at any
period during the last twelve years.
The plague is dangerous to the over
crowded underfed and unwashed ma
tives and Cinnamon. Americans avoid
ing direct contact with the disease are
safe. A force of Filipinos charged
twelve men of the Third cavalry, who
were scouting behind San Fernando de
Laubon One trooper and three horses
and carbines were captured. The enemy
fed.

AFTER A BIG MEETING
Movement to Secure National Grocer,
Association.

If the Commercial club of Topeka will
take hold Of the matter in the proper
way and offer the right kind of induce
ments. it may be possible to secure the
meeting of the National Association of
Retail Grocers of America for Topeka
in 1901. The meeting of this association
will be held in Cleveland this year, be-
ginning January 18th, and there will be
present at this meeting, grocers and
business men from all parts of the I'm
tied States. This association only
meets in the larger cities. but with the
accommodation and conveniences which
Topeka has to offer, and the building
of the auditorium, which will be COM
pleted by the time of the next meet
ing, it is more than probable that To-
peka can secure the meeting.
The five delegates elected to this
meeting in Cleveland from the Topeka
Grocers' association, Mr.. VIM. Drans-
field, Mr.. J. S. Sproat, Mr.. W. F.
Weber, Mr.. ThOs. Hanley and Mr..
Chas. Adams. intend to meet with the
Commercial club on Wednesday evening
of this week and lay the matter before
them for their action If the CONNER
cial club can see its way clear to in
struct the delegates from Topeka and
can guarantee through them a sufficient
sum of money for the entertainment of
this grocers' meeting in 1901 then the
delegates can go to Cleveland, prepared
to talk inteIligently on the matter.
At a meeting of the grocers and
butchers held last evening at Weber
hall, it was unanimously decided to
meet with the Commercial club and
talk over the possibility ana advisable
ity of attempting to secure the meet
ing of the Grocers of America for To-
peka in 1900. About thirty of the lead
ing grocers and butchers Of the city
attended the T0pofinC Ia pUaninor and
they were very enthusiastic to secure
this meeting

MADE A HIT.
Senator BeVeridge's Speech
Received With Marked
Favor.

Washington. Jan. 9.-Senator Beve-
ridge concluded his speech at 2:25 p. m.
He received great applause both on the
floor and from the galleries.
Mr.. Hoar followed Mr. Beveridge and
addressed himself to the Indiana sena-
tor with great earnestness 1t would
be a bad thing for this country, he said,
to strike down the young republic in
the Philippines.
Mr.. Hoar said he could prove from
Otis and Dewey that there was a Fill
pino government. Otis in all commun-
ications said that the people of the
Philippines desired to establish their
independence. Mr.. Hoar said Aguinaldo
was brought over and placed at the
head of 10000 people who desired indie
pendence and who were furnished arms
by the United States government.
