PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, December 17.-Corn
again took precedence on the Board
of Trade to-day Anxious shores
forced the price of December up -
3934c in their efforts to cover and it
closed at 391Ac, an advance of 23sc.
May also advanced &c Wheat weak
ened by it's own governing influences,
was steadied by corn, and closed un-
changed. Oats closed a shade higher
and provisions closed unchanged to
10c lower.
Corn was strong and higher from
the start, The unsettled weather CON
ditions rendering sill more uncertain
an increased contracts and the total
absence of contract corn in to-days
arrivals of SAT cars, revived anxiety
among shorts, who became active bid
ders for both December and May as
the session progressed. Chief interest
centered in the December option. This
was bid up very rapidly by one prom;-
nent broker, who is credited with be-
Tag heavily snort, the price reaching
5994c before the reaction came. Even
at that figure there was little offered.
The decrease in the visible supply OF
624 bushels helped the bull situation.
May in the meantime also showed con-
siderable strength, though having
periods OF comparative depression.
December ranged from 373sc to S9&c,
and closed 2asc higher at 391ac. May
ranged from 1875 G35$4c 10 3614c, clos
ing 1ac highe.' at 36Ac.
Wheat was inclined to be weak ear
ly in the session, lower cables. worlds
shipments, million bushels larger
than expected, and large increase on
passage had a depressing effect on
traders and the market for some time
appeared 10 be utterly without sup
port. Opening AG1zc lower at 1924
Q73c, May sold at 72B@72Ac during
the first hours trading. Up to II
o'clock the market continued heavy
and apparently bare Of buyers, but
hardening tendency developed soon
after prospects of good decrease in
the visible and the strength of corn
bringing good support. During the
last hour the market was dull but
quite firm, and all the early loss was
/ recovered. May advanced to 73Ac,
and closed at that price. Northwest
receipts were 764 cars, against SS5 last
/ week and o54 year ago. Chicago
receipts were 141 cars, three of con-
tract grade. Total primary receipts
were 10000 bushels. Seaboard
clearances Of wheat and -four amount
ed to 439 900 bushels. The visible
supply decreased $4,000 bushels.
! Oats were dull from start to finish
business being confined almost entirely
to professionals. The country move
ment was lighter and there was mod
crate spring demand. May ranged
from 231zc to 2Sa4c, and closed a shade
higher at 235s023Ac.
Provisions were dull and easy early,
heavy hog receipts causing a general
decline in prices. Lard and pork was
offered quite freely with few takers.

Improvement of ountrv
Roads.

In advocating the improve
ment of public roads The Galena
(Kansas) Times says: "The
farmers want to get to Galena-
God bless them!-and Galena
needs the farmers" The same
desire for the rural business is
everywhere manifest and the
farmers difficulty in reaching a
profitable market by wagon is
everywhere apparent. In many
States the rural financial bust
ness, which should naturally be
transacted at leading trade cen
tres, is diverted elsewhere be.
cause of the generally bad condi-
ton of the public roads.
Secretary Hamilton, of the
Pennsylvania Department of
Agriculture, reiterates the oft
stated fact that good roads are a
business necessity not only to the
farmer but to every municipality.
industry and enterprise, and that
all would be equally benefited
by improved highways. This
proposition is not without sup.
porting evidence, which can be
accumulated in abundance. The
farmer who must haul to a dis
tant market the products of his
acres finds that such tranSporta-
ton is excessively expensive in
time and labor involved and in
the maintenance of vehicles and
beasts of burden. All this in
creaSes the selling price of the
product, without comforting any
compensating benefit upon any
body. Consumers everywhere
are thus compelled to pay a heavy
fine for neglect of road improve
ment. On the contrary, if the
public roads should be made
solid, smooth and of easy grade
hauls from the farm to the pre-
ferred market would be rendered
of shorter duration and physically
less difficult and the stock and
vehicle account would be short
ened.
These facts are so obvious
that they ought to appeal force.
ably to every progressive citizen.
Millions of dollars are annually
spent for the maintenance of the
country roads in Pennsylvania,
but this enormous expenditure
has not been attended by proper
tionate results in the way Of per-
manent improvements. Under
the circumstances the people will
expect remedial legislation at the
next session of the State law
makers Philadelphia Record.

Had We not Better Aid Capital In
stead of Driving it From Our
State?

Il We regret TO find disposition among
l. some of the representatives of the
Democratic party, to war upon capital
y and upon corporations. If i'll Mary
land there was any unjust eXactions
4 made by corporations, or any unf'lr
b measures accorded them, we might
Il understand the desire to check such
L strides against the interest of the peo-
I pie to compel them to conform to meas
b ures in accord with public demands
/ The populislic ideas should not find a
b place il the hearts of men entrusted
|, with the leadership Of the Democratic
b party in this State or nation. If this
B persistent attack upon capital and cor
] porations continues, it is only a ques-
ton of Sine when we will drive every
man who is willing to invest his
, money in industrial enterprises and
help TO build up tie waste places in
our State away from our midst as well
as away from the Democratic party.
There are great enterprises existing in
the city of Baltimore yet in their in-
fancy, hardly completed, which have
been of the greatest benefit to the peo-
pie, yet they are bounded by legislative
enactments, which instead of tending
to serve the pr ople, only robs them of
benefits never before enjoyed. We do
MOI now, nor ever lave been an advo-
cat of any unfair grants of power to
corp ratio S, but we are unal'er-
ably opposed to these everlasting de-
mands of the lobbyist, this attempt at
blackmail aud this populistic idea of
warning upon capital and enterprise.
Let it continue and we will drive all
the muneyed men from our State and
thus be deprived Of having thousands
of our laborers engaged in work which
gives them a decent and respectable
living. Thousands ofuen are engaged
to-day on our railroads, thousands OPP
Grating our street c.us, thousands in
the manufacturing establishments of
the country, and yet for some selfish
purpose we find men ever ready with
q club in their hands, standing at the
doors of the Legislature demanding
that these great enterprises stand and
deliver. Let Us seek to build up our
waste places, rear manufacturing estab-
lishments, invite capital into our
midst instead of passing obnoxious laws
TO oppose instead of aiding capital in
Maryland.

Guilty Of Allowing Gambling
on the Grounds.

Chief Judge A. Hunter Boyd
and Judge David w. Sloan came
from Cumberland Monday and,
with Judge Stake, held court in
HagerstOwn. The cases of the
State against the Hagerstown
Fair Association for gambling on
the fair grounds were tried the
same afternoon. The two in.
dictments were found several
years ago and have been continu-
ed on the dockets from year to
year. Several witnesses testified
as to the character of games al
lowed. Constable Boward swore
he saw lots of old farmers losing
money at the games, which in
Guided a wheel of fortune and
umbrella games.
Mr.. George II. Hager, privilege
clerk of the fair, testified that he
awarded no concessions to gam
blers, and if any gambling was
done during the fairs OF 1897 aud
1898 it was without the consent
and knowledge Of the association.
He said where the associations
attention had been called to
fakirs who were conducting gam
bling games the operators were
ordered off. Last fall at the fair,
he said, $3.50 which was paid for
space on the grounds had been
returned to fakirs because of such
rules.
The judges found the associa
ton guilty Of knowingly permit
ing gambling, and not guilty on
all other counts. There were
seven counts to the indictment.

Convenience to Travellers.

The uniformed porters, who
were placed in service by the B.
& o. Railroad at their Washing
ton City depot on the first of the
year, have proved great conven-
fence to the travelling public.
There are six of them and they
are known as "station pOrters."
They meet all trains, and their
duties are to assist passengers in
carrying their baggage from the
train to the waiting room or car
riages. They are instructed to
pay special attention to elderly
people, ladies and children, and
to assist them in every possible
manner. They are not allowed to
request any remuneration from
passengers for their services. The
men have been drilled in polite
ness and have passed examina-
ton as to their knowledge of the
train service. Their uniform is
of blue cloth, with red cap, let
tered B. & o., with shield on the
left breast with the figure of the
dome of the Capitol. The men
are also posted on the city of
Washington and will give any in
formation pertaining to street car
service and other matters so es.
