CHlCAGO-CerR was again the big
market on the board Of trade to-day. 1t
was more apparent than ever that No.
Vember corn was Cornered and that OPP
ton was bid up sac. December closed
&c higher. Wheat wns helped a little
by the corn strength, local buying caus-
Ing an advance of &c at the close.
Oats closed n shade lower and provis-
ions unchanged TO nc higher. Though
opening fractionally lower, wheat did
not show any particular weakness dur
Ing the first few minutes trading in
spite OF the improved weather condi-
tons, firm cables sustaining prices
There was. however. an almost total
absence of buying orders Local trad
ers were not In the market and outside
support was lacking, owing to the de-
moraiized condition Of the tclegraphic
service. This fact was at once taken
advantage Of by local bears. and for n
time raided the market vigorously and
hammered the price down half cent
before support was given. December
opened &c lower at 10N070NC. 1t sold
for n moment at 7lc, then dropped to
70hc. but ut that point covering by
shorts was started and December rose
slowly. finally touching NE. The close
was firm ut 7l%WIlisc. Northwest re-
ceipts were i63 cars. against 39l last

ceipts were l0l ears, one OF contract
grade. Total primary receipts were

withstanding the favorable weather
which gave rise to hopes of frcer
country movement. Scalpers were free
sellers of both May and December
Meantime November. which showed an
opening OF n cent, had declined to 4li:c,
&c nbovc yesterdays closing price.
From that point 1t advanced sc Mt 4

too, turned upward on buying by the
bull leaders. November closed ut i5c,
nm advance OF 3Ac. December ranged
from 3Gc to 35hc, and closed nc higher

In southern congressional Represen-
tation by Reason of New Appor-
tionment.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 20.-Rep-
resentative Hopkins. of Illinois. chair
man of the house committee on census.
which committee will have charge of
the legislation effecting the apportion-
ment Of the house to-day, expressed
the opinion that there would be no de-
clded effort during the next session of
Congress to decrease the congressional
representation of the southern states
because of the Acknowledgement of ne
groes. He said that in all probability
the subject would be discussed, but he
thought that upon the whole the COM
mittee would favor the plan Of basing
representation upon the number OF in
hnbitants.
Discussing the general subject of re-
apportionment, Mr.. Hopkins said:
THE committee on census will meet
during the first week of the session to
frame bill providing for reappor-
tionment. think that a proposition
will be adopted which will increase the
present membership of the house. 1t
has been suggested that we authorize
one member for every $4,000 inhabi-
tants. That seems to be the ratio that
is In general favor among members OF
the committee. This proposition would
entail an increased membership OF
from fifteen to twenty members.
According to calculations have
made. this reapportionment would add
members to the house from New York
and Illinois, and perhaps other states
States like Nebraska and Maine might
lose members by the proposed law
Some of the southern states might also
suffer from the proportion agreed upon.
although to what extent cannot now be
aScertained" H-f.

Decision of the Court.

what II the decision of the court
should be that the Porto Rican tariff Is
unconstitutional and that Porto Rico is
a part of the United States?"
III such should be the decision Of the
court 1t might necessitate our having
to give up the Philippines. We are
bound to the open door In the Philip
pines. That means that the products of
all nations can come into the Philip
pines on the same basis as our own. II
We cannot raise tariff against Phil
ipplne products coming into the United
States. then our labor would be
brought into competition with the cheap
labor OF the Orient. II that condition
should come about We might feel that
our interests would demand our with
drawal from the Philippines.
For myself. I have no doubt as to
what the decision of the supreme court
viii be. I am confident that the court
will sustain the contention that the
constitution does not so into Porto Rico
and the Philippines OF Its own force, and
that they can be held as territory be-
longing to the United States. II the
decision should be against US feel GER
tain 1t will be by n divided court"
Effect of the Election.
DO you think the result Of the re-
cent election will have any influence on
the court In Its determination of the
caSe?"
Well, there is always tendency to
support the popular construction-that
is human nature. But OF course the
court will not allow Itself to be swayed
by the popular verdict in favor of keep
Ing the Philippines. It is for the court
to pass upon the constitutlonallty OF
laws passed by Congress. and the court
cannot delegate Its authority to the
people. II it did. the people might re-
verse their verdict at the next election,
and the court would have to change
win them. a proceeding which, If fol-
lowed often, would not add TO the gen
eFal respect for the court as judicial
tribunal
1t was the Philippine problem which
We saw looming up in the future which
led US to frame the Porto Rico tariff.
II We had not taken the position We did
Win regard to our new possessions
~hen we did. we would have had to
make the same fight whenever we
started to legislate for the Philippines.
Now' II the supreme court sustains the
foF'o Rcan tariff we will know Just
Where We stand with regard to the
FA'hppines. and can act accordingly"
