Roswell, Jan. 13.-The Roosevelt Lit

The officers are George w. Read, Jr,

treasurer; and Captain B. F. Harlow,
censor and critic.
Only a few of the cadets had fur

of the institute was kept up except on
Christmas and New Years days and
the cadets studied steadily through the

those whose work has been broken into
by the vacation.

Board Of Trade Of Chicago Called
for the Closing Of All
Open Deals.
he TRIED TO CORNER RYE
He Has Also on His Books Four to Five
Million Bushels of Wheat Was Not
speoulating on His Own Account
But for Customers.

Chicago, Jan. 14.-A notice was post
ed, at the opening of the board OF
trade, calling for the closing of all op-
en- deals with George HI. Phillips, the
former corn king" A heavy call for
extra margins is said to have been the
cause for posting the notice The call
was made yesterday afternoon. Phil
lips and his staff worked all night over
the firms books. The trouble is said
to have been due to the 1-2 cent
break in rye yesterday. Phillips is
credited with holding line on 100000
bushels of this cereal, mostly May op-
tons. Phillips is said to have on his
books also four to five million bushels
of wheat and about three million
bushels Of May corn. The effect Of the
notice posted by Secretary Stone was
instantaneous, the whole list opening
off sharply. Wheat opened l to 1 1-2c
lower; corn 1-2 to 1c down; oats de-
pressed nearly one cent. Phillips op-
ened negotiations with the elevator
men in an endeavor to dispose of his
rye outside of the pit. The negotia-
tions fell through, and May rye, which
closed yesterday at 66 ga, opened with
sales from 81 to go. The whole Phil
lips line was dumped into the market.
Brokers, acting for Armour and Co.,
bought nearly all of it and the market,
in consequence, rallied sharply to 65
H. Hubert Phillips office manager,
declared it was the suddenness of the
call for the extra 10 per cent margins
which embarrassed Phillips. He stated
that Phillips had traded but little on
his own account, the grain, for the
most part, belonging to customers.
