Murphy & Co.'s Grain Letter.

Chicago, Dec. 10.-There was big
market in wheat early to-day, with
prices higher and a big advance in
December. The pit was full of buying
orders, and not much for sale. Decem-
Der advanced to TIC at one time ana
narrowed the May premium to sc over
December. May sold up to 77%c. ON
the advance there was big profit-tak-
ing, and the market declined in abb
sence of any buying of importance. On
the way down stop orders were reach
ed, further helping the weakness ana
causing a loss of all the gain. News
was bullish.
Corn was Influenced largely by ac-
ton of the wheat market. 1t advanced
early, but declined later when wheat
broke. There was a fair trade, but no
special feature. December was erratic,
easily influenced by the least buying
or selling. but ruling generally strong.
In May there was fair buying on bad
weather reports.
There was a good trade in oats to-
day. An early advance in sympathy

Maintaining order aboard ship is re-
garded by an able seaman now in port
as one of the essential requisites Of a
successful commander. The men in the
forecastle must be understood, and
then this captain believes knowledge is
required 10 maintain strict discipline
among them.
Less is heard of mutiny at sea now
than in former times" said the sea-
man. This I attribute to the discrim-
ination owners are using in the alec-
ton of the men they place in charge
Of their vessels. Unless order can be
maintained aboard ship the vessel Will
be lost sooner or later. The use OF
force is not necessary if the captain
will get the respect Of his men and
keen il. l have come from the fore
castle up. and know the ways OF sea-
men and how to control them. MY
plan is TO have absolutely no relations
with the sailors, nor to speak to them
except in giving orders, which l give
briefly and firmly While il may not
be his intention to take any advantage
at first. il is nevertheless true that
when a sailor gets an inch he takes
a mile. While firm with sailors, | al
ways treat them as men, and not
brutes. When i'll a member of m y
crew receives the best of attention.
There is q way to make friends among
these people without getting too ia
niliar with them. 1t is my belief that
as ship owners continue TO employ
competent men as captains that trou-
bles with sailors will be fewer"

WOODRUFF AND THE CONVENllON' The announcement that Woodruff coun-

WoODRUFFAN THE CONVENTION'
 The announcement that Woodruff coun- tv will have ten votes in the state and con- grassional conventions is a mistake. Tn raised figures have been repudiated by MT. Mecon. He was h Little Rock last Sat- urday to investigate the forgery and what he says in an interview with the Democrat ia nublished in another column of the Seli- phone.
 At the general election in September l900 Woodruff county cast 1897 votes for Gov. Davis and this entities the county to eight votes in the convention.
 In the call for a congressional conven- tion to be held at Wynne ca Monday, June 18th, Woodruff county is credited with ssven votes The call is signed by o. N. Killough chairman and H. F. Roleson sec retary. The mistake of one vote is evidently a clerical error.
 Another queer thing about the vote of Woodruff is that the county has been off cially declared to be for Macon at the late primary, when according to the returns as published in the Augusta Free Press, the county went for Parrish.
 We suppose this, too, is clerical error. The official announcement has been made that Macon carried the county.
 We suppose when the congressional con- yention meets that Woodruff will be there and that the kinks in her vote will te strengthened out.
 There seems also to be some discrepen- cies in the estimate on the vote of Poinsett. The official returns at the ger eral election 1900, show that Poinsett gave Davis 660 votes, which entities the county to four votes in the convention. Some of the news papers have credited this county with five votes, giving Judge Taylor total of F in the convention when it should be 16. Mr. Parrish has 2l and MT. Macon 35, necessary a choice B..
 To win the nomination Mr. Macon must get two more votes and it is doubtful if Le can do this.
 Mr. Macon carried Mississippi county by a narrow margin, but we understand that the Taylor forces captured the delegation, whicn means that Mississippi will not stay with Macon to 8 finish in the conYeu- tion. Mir. Macon carried Cross for sacor instructions but the Taylor men also got in their work there and will not permit the county to go to Macon should iJ leave parrisb. Taylor men, with one exception, control the delegation.
 With Mississippi wrested from him by the manipulation of the Taylor forces and Cros blocked by the manipulation of the Taylor forces, so that 1t cannot go tC Macon on second choice, it looks at this time as if Mir. Macon will be defeated, ir spite of his splendid lead in the convention
 II MT. Macon has not already found i out, lie will realileit it before the convention adjourns, that the champion inanipulator of politics and political conventions in th' the second Judicial district have Judg, Taylor's case well in hand and they will g' to the convention to make winning

of the second and third, providing for the
removal to Burlington of the Malone
shops and the general offices, and for that
