Recruiting the Navy From Farms.

A plan of recruiting sailors for the UNI.
sed States Navy from the farms and the
country towns is now under consideration
at the Navy Department. Already the re.
cruiting is carried on outside of the large
cities, but it has not reached the interior
sections remote from large centres. Rep.

Sale of Treasury stock.
The Lanston Monotype Company direc-
tors held their meeting in the New York
Offices of the company on Monday after
noon. The results of the meeting have
not yet been given out officially. but the
statement may be made on the best
authority that the directors ratified the
sale of a large block of treasury stock
of the concern to an important new inter-
est. This action is entirely in accordance
with the prediction made in The Times
last week.
Official action was taken also with re-
gard TO the transfer of the general offices
OF the company. The Offices will be
moved Immediately, and it is probable
that they will be Installed in New York
before the end of the present month.
The sale OF the treasury stock of the
company to friends of the New York di-
rectors takes the control of the concern
out of the hands OF the Washington party.
1t could not be learned yesterday whether
there will be any change in the officers
before the next annual meeting or not, but
1t is said to be quite probable that the
present incumbents may resign

press much confidence over its outlook.

Wheat Closes at Top Prices After a
Day of Declines.

CHICAGO, Nov. 19.-Large primary
receipts and the heavy increase of TO-
O0O, 600 bushels in the worlds available
supply exerted a bearish influence in
wheat the greater part of today's ses-
sion, and at the noon hour prices We're
off sc. Local traders sold very freely.
Around 10 cents the market met good
commission buying, which checked the
decline. on an attempt Of shorts to
cover there was a--ruif recovery in
prices, the close being at the top Liv-
erpool was said lower; Paris and
Antwerp unchanged. The cash demand
here was slack. The Southwest, how
ever, reported liberal sales for both
export and home account. Eleven loads
We're reported at the seaboard.
Corn was rather dull, and inclined to
sympathize with the action of wheat
The close was strong at top prices.
There was very little doing in the cash
end of the market.
oats were easy early in sympathy
with other grains, but closed strong
at the highest quotations of the day.
There was decided lack of offerings.
The strengthening factor was the large
demand for cash, fully 500 900 bushels
being sold for export and Eastern ship
ment.
Provisions-There was quite an in
crease in the volume of trade in pro-
visions, with considerably more doing
for outside account. mainly in the way
OF investment buying. The short in
terest covered freely. foreigners taking

this increased demand prices advanc-

packers were liberal sellers. the close
was firm at the top. Cash trade was
