The CHICAGO Market

Chicago, Nov. 19.--Heavy trading in
wheat counteracted the weakening infiu-
ences of strongly bearish statistics and
steadied other grains today. December
what closed Il cents lower; December
corn a shade higher and December oats
nc higher Provisions closed 1212q15 to SOC
higher.
Wheat cables were lower in sympathy
with yesterdays decline here and as
result December opend a shad to Il cent
depressed at 7114G7s to 715s. Receipts both
Northwestern and primary were very
large. the increase in the worlds visible
supply as reported by Bradstreets was
100000 bushels against last years IN
crease of 1890 900 bushels. 1t was reported
that Dublin would send 100000 bushels
to this market shortly. Clearances were
very small and the early demand was
small All those factors depressed the
market, December soon sold down to ia
but at this figure and around 75c for May
buyers sprang up in great numbers.
Liquidation had been liberal early, but
soon the trade developed to greater than
for months past. This offset the bearlsh
statistics and brought a stronger under
tone to the pit, though in general bulls
We're somewhat distrustful. The cash sit
uation sagged materially in favor of OPP
tions. The seaboard reported IL loads
taken for export.
Trade in the corn pit was an indifferent
affair, easy in tone and following closely,
after wheat. Most of the supplies where
local and stocks were reported as decreas-
ing The spot situation was depressed yet
the outside markets were buying at high
er prices than Chicago and though the
weather favored shipment estimates OF
receipts were small. There was a fair
demand at times that suggested opera
lions by the provision crowd. This was
spasmodic, however, and largely sympa-
thetic with wheat. December which start
ed shade to 1sGA on early depressed
cables declined still further to 591s on IL
quotation. Toward the close it reacted and
steadied, closing steady, shade higher
at 59%.
Oats opened slow and lower in sympa-
thy without grains. The trade throughout
the greater part of the session was dull
though toward the close the cash demand
improved and there was some buying by
commission houses. The selling was scat
tered December sold between 1915 and
397s and closed firm, 12c higher at the
latter figure.
Provisions opened slightly higher on a
good hog market and quickly gained
frmer tone than it has had for some time
Shorts covered freely and there was a
fair amount of investment buying and a
better cash market. January pork which
opened 219 cents up closed 80 cents higher
at 1910; January lard 171a cents up at
S.7715 and January ribs 121ad15c advanced
at 1917.

Trade with Cuba.

There is no room for doubt as TO the
desire of Cuba for closer commercial
relations with the United States. What
our course ought to be is equally free
from uncertainty. If the Republican
party has any idea OF acting upon the
recommendation of the late President
no better or wiser thing could be done
than To inaUgUTate a broad and COM
prehensive policy Of reciprocity with
the Queen of the Antilles, which is, in
effect. our ward. True. certain inter
ests may feel that they will be injured
by such course. and viii oppose it
with all their might. To the growers
of cane and sugar beets the tariff upon
sugar is a bounty. and it is seldom in
deed that those receiving a bounty are
willing To give it up. The opposition
Of these classes is 10 be expected at
every stage of the movement for reci-
procity. II they can have their way. it
viii be a long time before the spirit
of Mr.. McEinley's Buffalo speech Will
ever find expression IN the revenue laws
Of the land
This is the great difficulty which con-
fronts Us in dealing with the matter.
and il is also ILLUSTRATIVE of the inherent
vice of the whole bounty system. Build
up certain interests under it and they
viii never voluntarily surrender "a jot
or little Of their advantage. They Will
cling TO it tenacicusly long after any
need Of it has passed. and they are
strengthened in their opposition by the
bOunties, which may be used as cor
ruptiOn funds to prevent their own re-
peal. But the benefciaries of unneces-
sary tariffs constitute only a small
fraction Of the people, and the Gov
eminent should consider the interests
Of the many rather than those Of the
favored few
The Cubans are going about the bust
ness in a digniGed and proper way, and
they should be met in the same spirit
Reciprocity with them viii not be a
one-sided proposition by any means. It
is absurd to suppose that it viii merely
give them access TO the American mar
ket with their products. II viii also
enable us to sell in theirs upon ad-
vantage0us terms. II the Cubans have
a good market for their products it win
greatly increase their purchases in
other countries. and if we furnish the
market for what they have to sell
we may reasonably expect them to buy
chiefly from US. on most lines recip-
rocal trade arrangements viii enable
us TO UnderseH our European competi-
tors i'm the Cuban market. Such a pol
icy viii not only be beneficial in a com
I mercial way but it VIII be a bond Of
good feeling between the two peoples
that may be Of incalculable advantage
