PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY
Grangers National Organization Hold
Annual Convention.
WORTHY MASTER JONES' ADDRESS.
iie Says Farmers Are Paying Too Much for
Articles They Need..0therwlse They Have
No Cause for complaint-'He Wants Con.
gress to Enact Laws TO Regulate Corpora
lions and Trusts.

Washington (Special) The Gath an
nual session of the National Grange,
Patrons Of Husbandry, was held here
with good attendance. The chief fea-
ture of interest was the annual ad-
dress of Worthy Master Aaron Jones,
of Indiana, who said that in most of
the States the order had enjoyed great
prosperity during the year. In rev
States IL had not succeeded so well.
The members of the Grange, while
afliliating with each of the political
parties in the last campaign. had
emerged from its battles without dis
turbing the fraternal spirit actuating
the order. Never had the conditions
been more favorable for the extension
of the order than now.
While agricultural conditions are
somewhat improved over what they
were n few years ago, they are not
what they should be, said Mr.. Jones.
The prices of what farmers had TO
buy, he said, are too high compared
with what they had TO SELL and such
remedial action should be had as
would cause an equitable adjustment
of prices in all the leading staples.
He urged opposition to the ship sub
Sidy bill and spoke OF the growth OF
the Industrial combinations until the
entire country is justly alarmed He
urged an amendment to the Constitu-
ton, clear and express in its terms,
empowering Congress with the right
and authority 10 regulate corpora
tions. The interstate commerce law,
the Grand Master argued, should be
amended so that all sections Of the
country could secure fair and equa-
ble freight rates. This being Sc
cured, the hardest blow that at this
time could be struck to mOnopolies
and trusts and the greatest cncour-
agements TO enterprise and thrift
would be given.
The report OF the secretary, DR..
John Trimble, of Washington, show
ed that 1S2 new oranges had been
chartered during the year, the order
now numbering over a half million
members.
Addresses were delivered by o. II.
Kelley; by Jubel Robinson, who
pledged the cooperation of the Cana
dian Grange in the work of the Or
der; by Assistant Secretary j. II.

mcnt; Edward Wiggin and Mrs. Wig
gin, of Maine Mrs. George A. Bowen,
of Connecticut; S. H. Ellis. of Ohio,

TRADE NEWS OF THE WEEK.
Reviews by Dun & Co. and Bradstreefs Show
Pronounced Tendency Toward
Firmer Ouotations.

New York (SpeciaD.-- .---R. G.. Dun &

Prices of commodities advance al
most without exception, and all the
changes In manufactured goods are In
the direction of flrmer quotations. The
smallncss of stocks of goods carried
Is feature Of our reports from most
Of the leading centers. Scarcity of
labor gives manufacturers in the Mid
die States great concern.
Activity at iron and steel mills
steadily Increases. and there is an
equally uniform advance in quotations.
The gain has been more general this
week than at any previous time this
season, pig iron moving up 25 cents a
ton. and corresponding gains appearing
in bars, billets, plates and structural
materials generally. Instead of the re-
cent agitation for cheaper steel rails,
there Is now talk of an advance to S2S,
owing to the further rise in steel bill
lets.
The report Of pig iron production
on November I by the Iron Age shows
weekly capacity of only 215,304 tons
the smallest since September, 1898 but
the reduction Of $4,000 tons from Oc-
tober | in furnace stocks Is most en-
couragng These figures, with. the ac-
tivity in all branches of the Industry,
indicates that there will be no further
reduction in output, but the December

option above so cents. II was reported
that Wall Street operators were turn
ing their attention to grain.

meats at Chicago was rot heavy, but
scarcity of first quality fresh eggs has
brought very high prices.
Failures for the week were 217 in
the United States against 219 last year,
and thirty-thrce in Canada against
twenty last year"
Brads,reet's says:
The tonic effect of seasonably cold
weather is again testified to by reports
from practically all markets of brisk
demand for Winter clothing and foot
wear.
Among textiles, cotton is notable
for lac. advance on the week, due to
killing frost having terminated further
growth. Estimates of the crop aver
age about 10,250,00O bales.
Cold weather has been the stimulus
to the butter market and the advance
in ten days has been fully 4 cents per
pound. Among the articles declining
might be mentioned flour, on slack de-
mand, coffee and petroleum.
Wheat, including flour, shipments
for the week aggregate 4,0G2, 900 bu-
shells. against 3,555,507 bushels last
week, and 4,540,007 bushels in the cor
responding week of 1899. Corn ex-

EIGHTEEN MORE cONGRESsMEN.
Probable Membership Of the House Under the
New ReappOrtiOnment.

Washington (SpeciaD Director OF
the Census Merriam called the atten-
tlon of the President to the fact that
the figures on the population of the
United States, the total. of which al
ready has been announced, are in such
shape that they will be at the disposal
OF Congress when it meets for any ac-
ton it may desire to take in the drec-
tion of a reapportionmcnt bill The
reapportlonment following the count
of the twelfth census will become
operative by law in 1903 There prob
ably will be II considerable increase
both in the ratio and the total num-
Der of Representatives under the new
apportonment.
Starting with a ratio of one TO every
10000 inhabitants there were sixty-fivc
Representatives in the First Congress.
This ratio under the tenth census
reached 151,911S giving Il House of
representatives with 1926 members.
The eleventh census, in 1890, gave
population of 62, 622 ,250, or an increase
of l2,500,000 With this the ratio was
increased to 173,901 people to each
representative, and ut this ratio the
House numbered 356, an increase of
twenty-one members The ratio un-
der the new census probably will
reach 100000. With an increase of 49,
225,464 shown by the present census,
and letting majority fractions of the
apportionment count for an additional
number, as has been the custom, this
would make an increase of eighteen
members in the next House.
Reapportionment on this basis
would leave but four States that would
lose Representatives. They would lose
one member each. Any ratio smaller
than 100000 which would save them
their full representation, would. it is
thought, make an unwieldly addition
TO the membership of the House
