Chicago Grain and Provisions.

Chicago, Dec. 14.-An inclination to- ward taking profits and Saturday dull ness worked against the cold weather 5-Sc. down: May corn Is up and May oats 1-40D3-S lower. Provisions closed 5G7 1-2 to 12 1-2c. higher. May wheat had dull, steady market, ruling firm early but soon losing the gain. Weather con ditions had a good deal to do with the speculative temperament and the early cables were something of help Re ceipts were light and May opened 1-4@3-S up at 80 3-S@S0 3-4, and sold up 80 3-4QS1. Trade was not important and trading of commission houses were the only feature. This feature gave way to profit taking on the bulge and the market weak 5-S lower at 79 3-4@79 7-S. Local re- ceipts were forty cars none of contract grade. Minneapolis and Duluth reported points of 5O4 against 764 last week and 5Z7 year ago. Primary receipts were 67OOOO bushels against 664,O0O last year. Seaboard clearances in wheat and flour eQualled 900 bushels. Corn was fairly active and ruled firmer the greater part of the session. The early demand was largely on the part of shorts but the out side markets were also fair buyers. The cold weather brought the early squirt on the fear that heavier feeding to stock would be necessary The cash movement was slow and country acceptances were free with Western prices more attractive tnAH At ltLAS punt" EIOleSSlOHdl SGOCh on fair lines of large corn at low prices and this brought good advances.

The Cold Wave Causes Reduction of Estimates as to, Crop Move ment-Inherent Strength
 in the Market.

New York. Dec. A.-The cotton market opened easy with prices 3@6 points lower under unloading by smaller holders who were frightened into adopting this course by break of 3Q3 1-2 points in Liverpool today. and by another bad turn of the stock market. Rut almost immediately after the call unbiased room operators recognized great inherent strength in the market. Covering was soon in active progress and new buying figured promi- nentlv. The appearance of an intensely cold wave in the Southwest and . fore cast for very low temperatures in the Central and Eastern Districts over Sun day gave rise to predictions for a light
 movement of the crop next week. To- days receipts were not up to expecta- tions and estimates indicated very mod crate arrivals on Monday. Wall Street. the South the continent and American spinners were buyers on the first hour advance. Room bulls were untiring in their efforts to support the market and the bears were greatly disturbed by the
 unlooked-for action of values which were soon even with last nights final bids. de- spite the weakness abroad and the uusat- isfactory condition of the stock market. Trading was not specially active but re- fected a healthy speculative situation.

Weekly Cotton Raviau.

 he amount or cotton brought in sight Tor the week was 430.666 against 46i POI last year, a falling off for the week of SO,SSS bales, throwing the amount under Fast years movement to date, ss, Al bales It IS also noticeable feature that not wlthstandlng the predicted heavy move ment for Dece mber, Mr., Hesterhs figures show falling off of 33,941 bales for the thirteen days ending Friday night. our local market here nas received to date lAo45, against 113s3SS last year; stocks on hand are 24,34e bales against So'2l1 bales. These figures indicate a free movement and only go to show that some one is buying cotton in face of the demand all the season from exporters and mills Interior stocks only gained 33. 4O5 against 54,0H last year.
 The continent this week has taken 1O6, = France 23132. against seer bales last year. The total clearances for the sea- son to Europe, are 2,9S9,000 against 2,775,- GOO bales lask year.
 When, we.-c come to study the above fig ures and movement we are compelled 10 discredtt the recent reports of bad foreign trade conditions or to believe that something has recently changed the or der of things.
 Each day is now bringing new converts to believe in the Bureaus estimate of S,6i4,OOO bales, and each day of the new year, will see others falling over one which is sure to come when comparisons are made with the phenomenal large movement of the first five months.
 Our reports from various sections through Alabama and Georgia prove to our own satisfaction that this crop has been one of the swiftest moving crops on record. The fields are reported clean the gins have about closed for the sea son, and the many light weight bales now showing up at the warehouses, go to prove that the remnants are now com ing into sight. A wire from Terrell, Texas, yesterday. says: "Houston's heavy receipts are only exhaustins will suddenly drop off in q few days.

In his opening argument Judge Allen
said that if it was admitted that the
Legislature of 1897 had made an appro-
priation providing for the payment OF
White, that the Legislature had the
power to withdraw the appropriation,
and that it had done so by Chapter 21,
Laws Of 1S99 forbidding the Treasurer
to pay.
Judge Bynum in reply denied the
power of the Legislature to withdraw
an appropriation once made for the
payment of salary.
Judge Douglas in his testimony ad-
mitted that, in his opinion, if the Leg
islature had made an appropriation it
had the power to withdraw it. He is
right-and the appropriation was with
drawn by Chapter 21, Laws of 1899.

II AM AN AMERICAN"

In recent address at, the anniversary
of st. Patrick's Society in Brooklyn, Ex-
Senator David B. Hill denounced our pol
icy toward the Beers, lamented our atti-
tude, and spoke strongly for self-govern
ment. We make this extract:
THE wanton destruction of republics
and the consequent extension Of empires
may well be regarded as a menace to
free government everywhere which
should be resisted.
The evident qualification with which
King Edward made the official an
nouncement to Parliament of the con-
quering of the two South African Repub-
lies was only equaled by the official
complacency with which it was received
here. But whatever may have been the
attitude which our Government has felt
constrained to assume, there has never
been the slightest question of the SEN
timents of the generous and warm-heart-
ed American people upon this subject.
Il do not violate any confidence when
l state that at an interview which
had at Washington on Dec. 8 last with
ex-President Harrison, a reference hay
ing been made to the South African
struggle he suddenly turned to me and
with much feeling and impressiveness
said:
"Gov. Hill, l am an American, and my
sympathies are with the cause of the
Beers. / cannot help it,
"Our almost uniform policy of national
unselfishness has made a deep impression
upon the governments of the world. If,
unfortunately exceptions to this tradi-
tional policy have recently been permit
ted whereby our record may have been
marred, l do not propose to discuss them
here on this non-partisan occasion"

WHY DIDIr TAKE A RECESS?

A correspondent asks 'Why did the
Legislature of 1899 take a recess until
June, 1900, instead of adjourning sine die,
as is customary when the legislation
is ended?'
The answer is that the Legislature,
knowing the partisan character of the
majority of the Supreme Court, did not
dare risk the Constitutional amendment
to the probable action of that court and
a recess was taken for no other purpose
than to be ready to undo any act OF that
court that might endanger or thwart
the submission of the Constitutional
Amendment. 1t was understood that the
Supreme Court would declare the election
law unconstitutional and prevent an cleo
tion on the amendment, and it was to
guard against such action that recess
was taken.
If the Supreme Court Justices could not
be trusted then. can they be trusted
now? They had not then decided the Day
case, the White case the Abbott case and
other like cases that destroyed the will
of the Legislature and substituted in its
place the will of the court. More than
that: They had not then issued per-
emptory mandamus,. in defiance of an ex-
press provision of the Constitution and
legislative prohibition, to take money out
of the Public Treasury-the common fund
If the Legislature was warranted in
taking recess in order to protect the
Constitutional Amendment from these
judges-and there was no other reason
it shows that the united Democratic ma
jority in the Legislature of 1899 had the
same opinion of them as was expressed
by Governor Jarvis in 1898 when he said
he would as soon think of putting Breck-
inridge in charge of a female semina
ry as Furches on a non-partisan court
In a recent speech Senator Pritchard
publicans held meeting in Greensboro
and decided to apply to the courts, but
that the passage of the act forbidding any
judge to control elections in North Caro-
lima at the June session of the Legisla-
ture prevented their carrying out the pol
icy of hostility to the amendment that
they had marked out. is it not clear
that Pritchard and Company, felt certain
of the court? If the Democrats had not
felt certain that the Fusion court would
destroy their election law and the amend
ment, would they have enacted the pro-
hibitory statute of June, 1900?
The whole Democratic party endorsed
the Legislature for refusing to adjourn
sine die, thus leaving the Constitutional
Amendment at the mercy of the non-par
tisan Supreme Court, thereby endorsing
the universal belief that Fusion judges
would destroy the amendment unless the
return of the Legislature was held in
terrorem over them.
What has come over the spirit of the
dreams of gentlemen who then put on
record their distrust of the Fusion judges,
and are now filling the air with their
declarations of faith in their fairness,
non partisanship and freedom from bias?
Either the Legislature of 1899 did these
justices gross wrong in casting the sus-
picion upon them, or all this latter day
talk about their freedom from party bias
on the bench 'is sentimentality and mis-
placed sympathy gone to Seed
