COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL
Usual Inactivity Pervadss Grain Pit on
Board Of Trade.
DEMAND FOR MAY OATS EXCEEDS SUPPLY
High-Priced Hogs and Lack of Selling
Pressure Keep Provisions Firm
on Market which was
Quite Active.

CHICAGO, Dec. 22.-The usual inactivity
pervaded the grain pits on the Board Of
Trade today, put prices were firm. May
wheat closing hnAc higher. May corn
was up a fraction and oats we're lac higher.
Provisions were strong, May closing from
Wheat was extremely dull, with prac-
ucaIy no outside business. The foreign
situation was considered strong, the
worlds shipments being light and a large
decrease in the amount on passage being
recorded. Large receipts and a bearish es-
Innate of the Russian crop was the main
pear factors. May opened a shade to &c
higher at TAGI1hc to INC, but on selling
on liberal receipts the price declined. to
I1bc. A smaller increase I'm visible than
had been expected-an increase of only
665,OO bushels. where 100000 bushels had
hrmer feeling later in the day and the
close was at TA4TI1hc, the top price OF
the day, with a gain of lsqhc. Worlds
bushels, against $40, 900 bushels last week.
C~learances OF. wheat and flour were equal
1'2e4.OO bushels. compared with $50, 400
a year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth re-
ported receipts OF 1,U72 cars. which, with
grade, made total receipts for the three
points of l,152 cars, against 1,lS7 cars last
week and SIG a year ago.
Corn was dull and easier on the nearby
deliveries, but firm for May. Local senti-
ment was slightly. bearish. the weather
and the receipts larger. Commission houses
reported a dearth OF orders from the out
biue ana tneTe was little OF interest In the
trading. May closed a shade higher at
431ac, after selling between 43hc and 43h
94S1sc. Local receipts were 45 cars, 5 OF
contract grade.
Oats showed more strength than either
OF the other grains and II good demand
existed for the May option, while the offer
lngs were light. Commission houses were
the best buyers OF May, but a prominent
long also bought freely. A good cash de-
mand was a dull influence, but receipts
were larger and had a depressing effect.
May closed &c higher at 33BG33&c, after
ranging between S31kc and S35sc. Local re-
ceipts were 279 cars.
Provisions were firm on the absence of
any particular selling pressure and on
higher prices for hogs at the yards. Trad
Ing was quite active, there being an es-
p~ecially good demand for the May prod
ucts. Outsiders were the best buyers and
the offerings were supplied largely by
packers. The close was firm, with May
pork, 1Ihc higher at $3.50; May lard was
up f1hQ15c at S9.37h and ribs were 5q7Lc
higher at &.55MS. 57h.
receipts for tomorrow: Wheat,
ITO cars; corn, 5S5 cars; oats, $40 cars; hogs,
1000 head.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

SHEEP-Ihere was not an excessive sup
ply of sheep and lambs on sale this morn
ing, so that the market on better grades
was fairly active and just about steady
with. the close of last week. The quality
Of the offerings as a whole was nothing
extra, though there were a few punches OF
pretty good stun. Lambs sold as high as
$50, and some wethers and yearlings
mixed brought $4.l5. The commoner grades
were a little neglected and hard to sell at
steady prices, but still the prices paid
showed very little change from last week.
Receipts Of feeders were limited, and so
also was the demand. Quotations, though,
remained just about where they were last
week.

JANUARY COTTON.

December %, 1902.
Having from early In the season ad-
vised the purchasers of cotton for January
delivery in New York and still believing
that the stock of cotton now here is worth
much more than the present prices Of
January contracts, and entirely dispropor-
tionate TO the existing short interest. 1
take this means of suggesting to those
who hold January contrac cts tina they will
consult their own best interests by ar
ranging to take up and pay for their cot
ton. / would further inform those who
have yet made such arrangements that /
have advised all members of the New York
Cotton exchange that / shall on Monday
next and thereafter until further notice,
be pleased to loan places" on any notices
for the delivery of January contracts, thus
rendering II unnecessary that any holder
Of contracts for the delivery of cotton In
should be . sImmarily sold out
upon notice to the advantage OF those who
may be short. 1t has not infrequently
happened In the past that a tender OF a
few thousand bales OF cotton has been
used to compel the liquidation OF a FAR
larger quantity of contracts. II is nv
purpose that In the present instance no
such inequitable procedure shall obtain.
l shall be pleased to have any holders OF
contracts for January delivery OF cotton
communicate with me in confidence In
their own interest. either by mail or
wire. Theodore II. Price. II Wall street,

The Probability is There viii be no
Fight in Paducah.
The 1890 O'clock Ordinance will be
Satisfactory to All the Tenn
perance People.
ALL ARE APPARENTLY PLEASED

Although the ordinance given first
passage at last nights meeting of the
council has to be passed once again by
that board and twice by the board Of
aldermen, 1t can safely be predicted
that there lie now no probability of =
local option election In Paduosh.
Chairman Toof and his committee
men who received their authority from
the recent citizens mass convention
and who submitted a proposition last
night to the council agreeing to use
their influence 10 prevent q local op-
ton contest II the 1920 ordinance
was passed, took this step only after
mature elaboration, and while they
did not say so, they probably had
positive assurance that Whatever they
did would be fully Endorsed by the
Ministerial Ass ociation and others be-
mind the move for local option.
A prominent minister who was
very active in the local option agits-
ton stated this morning that he was
satisfied that whatever the citizens,
committee did would be accepted by
the ministers ana others, and that so
far as he was individually concern
cd. the 1880 ordinance with the reg
ulstions embodied in 1t was satisfao-
tory, and he considered IL quite VIC
tory for the temperance people.
This is considered positive assur-
anoe that there will DO no local option
fight In Paducah.

Not Much Interest Being Taken To-
day in the Election.
Many Seem to Think There Will
be q Mixed Ticket
Elected.
ANTI-LooAL OPTION TICKET

Todsy's election has been quiet in
Paducah, and the vote polled will
probably be about the average proper
tion Of the registration. As there is
an unusually small registration this
year, IL is expected that there will be
an unusually light vote.
Considerable interest developed dur
ing the day in the aldermanic race,
and Judging from reports there was a
great deal Of scratching.
II was understood that the snti-local
option men selected as their ticket the
following aldermanic candidates:
Messrs. Lucien Durrett, Joe Rigles-
berger, Gus Singleton, Charles Smith,
of the Democratic ticket, and Messrs.
o. B. StsrKs, O. II. ChsmbliD, Frank
Kirchoff and DIR. ]. 8. Troutman, Of
the Republican ticket, and many pre-
dict that this mixed ticket will win.
It is understood the local option peo-
RE also made mp ticket, and that on
it were two o; those on the other tick
ct, Messrs. Starks and Riglesberger.
Quite a number Of election officers
failed to show up today, but all the
places were filed.
At noon IL was claimed that only
about one third of there gistered vote
had been polled, but there was small
rush before time to resume work at
O'Clock.
The saloons have sll been closed, as
usual on election day but IT has not
been so hard to find something to drink
rs on Sundays.
Those who have been around the
polls report everything serene, and
that the election officers were having
plenty Of time between votes.

II was announced at the city hall
this afternoon that there will be joint
meeting Of the councilmanic and al
dermanic boards this evening to dis
