CHICAGO = The aggressive strength
and activity OF corn, engendered by
higher cables, the cash demand and the
small country offerings made that mar
ket the center Of interest on the board
of trade, May closing B9kc over yes

from corn, but gave way to the mild
weather lack Of cash demand and the
prospect of large worlds shipments and
an Increase on passage, closing heavy,
with May b9Ac down. Oats closed q

ported better on firm selling OF 10000
bushels to Liverpool. New York report
ed 40 loads taken for export. Clear
ances from the seaboard were $4,000
bushels. Local receipts were 1874 cars,
and at primary points 665,0OO bushels,
against $4,000 a year ago. The market
was aggresslvely active and strong
nearly the whole of the session and was
Che center OF interest.
Wheat was heavy and dull. Feeling
was bearish under the expectation that
Mondays statistics would show large
worlds shipments and 4 liberal increase
on passage. The mild weather where
we had been promised n cold wave was
also discouraging to holders. The mar
ket showed some flrmness for time IN
sympathy with corn, but failed to hold
1t. The Liverpool decline for spot had
depressing effect and there was little
cash talk here. Atlantic port clear
ances In wheat and flour were equal to
iss. 900 bushels. New York reported
70 loads taken for export. Primary re-
ceIpts were $4,000 bushels, compared
with $4,000 bushels last year. Mime

MILES is FOR A GREAT ARMY
Commanding General Says There Are
Not Enough Soldiers.

washington. November 16.-The feature
of the annual report Of Lieutenant Cen
eral Miles commanding the army. is a
chaptcr dealing with the need for "A gem
eraI reorganization OF the military SER
vice. In regard to this question he says:
The need for an efficient and well or
gained land force for an indefinite period
in the future is most obvious and the
organization OF such force cannot bee
wisely avoided, Such service as is now
demanded Of the army cannot be per
formed by temporary orgauization.'
General Miles points out that the prac-
tical limitation of service of the Volun-
tecrs 20 one year in the Philippines makes
this a most expensive practice, nocCssi-
tatiug double transfer of troops and ad-
ding enormously to the cost of the or
sauiZa ton. lie also points out the need
of a reserve force for the relief of the
soldiers who serve in the tropics, deClar-
ing that the regiments that have So far
served more than two years at unhealthy
stations should be relieved.
General Miles rcnews his recOmmenda-
ton that the permanent force of the
army should lac one man for each thous-
and of population of the United States.
The report shows that the demands for
troops for remote stations has reduced
the number I'm the United Stats 50 that

Wilkes County Man Relates How He
Was Robbed in Richmond.

Washington. Ga. November l6.-tSpe-
cial. MIR. James II. Galloway, the Wilkes
farmer who was touched for $500 in
Richmond Monday. returned yesterday
and talked freely of the robbery to which
he was such an easy victim. which ac-
count varies somewhat from that sent
out from Richmond Monday night. Mr..
Galloway says when he went into the
barroom with his newly made cham. ="
who called himself Stanley. IL was for
the purpose of collecting $50 he had loaned
Stanley during their short acquaintance

STANLEY said To me at that time" said
Mr. Galloway, A" | owe you $50 and the
only way for me TO procure the money Is
for Us to show that we have $500 stan
ley proposed to shake dice after we en-
tered and they were brought forth and a
stranger threw Stanley guessed the
number that was thrown and said to me:
That means 500 for US; thai man has
