Grain and Provisions.

CHICAGO, Nov. S.-Wheat was active
today and stronger, December closing i-sc
higher. December corn Use lower with
oats a shade higher. January provisions
closed from to 7 1-2c lower
Wheat ruled strong the greater part OF
the day after a rather weak openings
which was due principally to the liberal
receipts in the northeast. Better weather
than expected was also a weakening fac
tor early In the day. A feature to trad
ing was the buying of over million
bushels, supposed to be for the account
of a leading bull. Around lac for May
there was quite general profit takings by
longs. An export demand and prospects
of a decrease in the movement was the
bull factors. The close was strong. De-
cember opened a shade higher to 1-Sdl-4c
at Il S-4c and after holding about steady
the first hour there was an advance 10 I2c
and the close was at lac higher at n 4-Se.
Clearances equaled 4l3.OO0 bushels. Pri-
mary receipts were 1,6l4.000 bushels COM
pared with 1,0S40O0 year ago. Receipts
175 cars, contract. Minneapolis and Du-
luth reported 1,00l cars, a total for the
three points OF LIS. against 1,092 cars
last week and 962 a year ago.
Corn was dull and prices had down
ward tendency, due to the lack Of any
material support. Firmness in wheat and
a good cash demand were strengthening
factors. Gables were firm and the move
ment moderate. The latter part Of the
session considerable weakness developed
by commission house selling and the close
was barely steady. December closed 1-Sc
lower at 50 7-Sc, after ranging between
80 1-2a51 Lac. Receipts 1sl cars. sixteen
contract.
There was a fair trade in oats and
prices were firm in sympathy with wheat
and on predictions of more unfavorable
weather Commission houses were good
buyers early. but turned sellers later In
the day resulting in slight break toward
the close, which was about unchanged
from yesterdays final figures. December
sold between Dd30 Is and 90 3-sc and
closed at 80 Use, Receipts 207 cars.
Provisions were easier, the heavy run Of
hogs extended next week being response
bic for the lower figures. Trade was only
moderate and the close was at slight
decline. January pork closed &c lower
at $50 1-2; January lard lie lower at
$3.50; and January ribs &c lower at s. ~ liz.

Mccullough Bros Fruit and Produce
Letter,

ATLANTA. Ca. Nov. s.-Apple receipts dur
ing the last week have been liberal and with
few exceptions the stock has been OF an uade-
sirable character. These conditions have result
ed in material weakness as to prices and de-
mand. The best grades and varieties have been
remnants and overripe stock.
Oranges have shown steady demand with
firm prices. with good prospects for the same
conditions the next few days.
The California fruit season is over and there
will be nothing else in this market in the way
OF California green fruit until another sea-
son.
There are some fancy New York state grapes
on the market. The prices they are bringing
are considerably higher than former prices at
this season OF the year. caused by the scarcity
Of the yield.
The lemon market has jumped 81 a box In the
last 1--WE days, with limited supply on this
market and q very active demand
Malaga grapes showing mp in fine shape.
The quality is all that could be asked for with
prices reasonably low.
The price OF bananas holds firm with tha
market reasonably well supplied.
The coccanut situation is unchanged, former
prices holding good with the market well sup
piled.
Irish potatoes are rapidly climbing up in
price and have shown an advance OF e per
bushel daily for the past week The market
closes this week in an unsettled condition with
an upward tendency as to price.
There is some demand for sweet potatoes at
quotation prices. however receipts are sufheient
Cabbage are plentiful; in fact, this ularizet
has NOT seen scarcity In cabbage for the past
two months. There is no hxed price, sales be-
ing made at takers prices.
Onions are firm with light receipts and stock
never finer.
Dressed poultry is coming in quite freely
the past few days. and the warmness OF the
weather including the poor quality OF stock,
has caused some sales to be made at rather low
figures however all decent grades have met
with ready sales at fairly good prices.
Eggs continue firm with light receipts and
strong demand.
Butter is in fairly good demand at only rea-
sonRble prices.
All this market needs is a little spell Of
colo weather. which viii stimulate prices al
around.

CHICAGO, Nov. s.-There has been q big
trade today and a strong wheat market, every
thing considered. Principal buying was By
brokers supposed TO be acting for Armour. But
on advance shorts took large quantities. Sell
ing was In way Of liquidation with Bartlett
Frazier leading. Sentiment was decidedly bull
ish on big export demand and prospects OF de-
creased movement. While receipts were large
country stocks northwest are reported TO have
decreased 80 per cent IN the past 30 days
and as soon as wheat sold to arrive here all
comes in there viii be falling on. Weather was
favorable for the movement. Very cold IN
British northwest. Cables were firm but for
eiRn markets dull.
Trade in corn was light and the market in
clined towards a lower level owing 70 little
local offerings and lack Of demand Strength
OF wheat. firm cables, good cash demand IN
increase inquiry for near months from abroad
served to hold prices firmly. There was selling
Of December by Harris Gates and Bartlett
Frazier. Prospects Of bad weather west and
southwest a strengthening influence.
Oats ruled finn with trade on fair scale.
There was good buying by LamsOn Bros, with
Carryington and Patten the best sellers.
Strength in wheat and prospects Of stormy
weather induced some buying.
Market closed steady. Locals sold on the
hog situation. Large receipts and weak hogs
at the yards, buying by brokers caused steadi-
ness but the demand was insufficient to re-
cover OF the loss and the close was at a moder-
decrease.

1T WAS VERMONT TROOPS
WHO KILLED PRIEST

WASHINGTON. Nov SAN investiga-
ton that has been made by the war de-
partment into the allegation by the anti
imperialistic committee delivered at Lake
George conference to the effect that
Father Augustine, a Catholic priest, was
killed by water cure in the Philippines,
has apparently confirmed the main fact
that the man died from the effect Of the
cure. but It has also been found that the
persons who administered the cure to
secure insurgent funds, OF which he was
the custodian, were volunteers from Yer
mont and are now beyond the reach of
military justice, having been mustered
out Of the service.

KNIGHT WANTS MORE
COMMITTEE PLACES

J. p. knight, Of Berrien, is displeased
because he was appointed only on one
committee in the house-the wild lands
committeeman it is understood that he
will say to the house this week what he
thinks OF the alleged discrimination on the
part Of Speaker Norris.
Mr.. Knight was a member of the house
last year. and thinks that his county
should be entitled to more representation.
Speaking of the matter last night Repre-
sentative knight said:
Il think the people OF my county are
entitled to some representation on the
committees of the house. I do not care
about the position personally. but there
are $4,000 people In Berrien county who
are entitled TO some representation, and
I propose to tell the house about the man
ner in which my county has been treated
in the matter OF committee places"
Mr. Knight will probably address the
house on the matter at the session today.

Murphy & co.,s COTTON Letter.

NEW YORK. Nov. s.-Better prices were
shown at the opening Of the market today but
there was lack Of confidence and fear OF re-
newed weakness after possible temporary re-
covery. The fact is the trade is long every
where and the short interest so far Of no great
Importance and buyers are hard to bring in.
The absence of claims of damage by frost Is
the main obstacle to a better market. The
public have decided idea that the crop has
been gaining and cannot be convinced to the
contrary while the movement Of the crop is
on such a liberal scale that successful bulling
is extremely difficult. Apparently prices must
be forced down before confidence is re-establisn-
ed. Receipts next week will be $4,000 less than
the week just closed compared with last year
and this in itself will give the bears a de-
cided advantage the coming week. The Chron-
icle report today without special feature,
were the weekly reviews of other author
tiles The weather was favorable in the south.
Port receipts estimated at So 900, against $1,000
last year.

LEGISL ATIVE
COS SIP.


Build the state road 70 the seat" said
Governor Gambler 10 a party Of legisla-
tors Thursday Then you viii save II.
Otherwise Il viii hardly be worth any
thing. At the expiration OF the lease IL
win be completely bottled up by the other
railroads. The state made the fatal mis-
take Of allowing the East Tennessee road
20 parallel the state road about fifteen
years ago. Had that not been allowed
the state would still have a valuable
piece OF property. but with the Southern
with a line into Atlanta from Tennessee
and the L and ~. with the A. X. and n.
extended here. the state road would have
no showing al all az the end OF the lease.
Either build Il to the sea or sell H.
To sell II would be a big loss, and 20 eK-
tend Il would take a constitutional amend
ment and another issue OF bonds. but II
IS better 70 spend SS.oo0.0oo on the road
than 20 lose II altogether or 10 operate
Il at big loss"
Continuing his conversation Governor
Gambler said he had just been down 20 the
site OF the new depot looking over the
situation. 1T IS a gold place for a de-
pot. and while they have more ground
on the new site they cannot put UP any
better depot than could have been built

GOVERNOR TERRELL
SENDS FIRST MESSAGE
contInued From Pace One.


fertilizers. These fees are paid by the
farmers in addition to the ad valorum
property tax, which lie required Of all eiti-
zens, and every principle of justice and
equity demands that they be expended as
will best tend to the advancement and
upbuilding of the cause of agriculture
throughout the state. These fees are now
paid into the treasury to the credit of
the common school fund. The loss which
such an application would entail upon that
fund can be more than supplied by an in
crease nthe hire Of state convicts. This
increase we may reasonably expect from
contracts necessary to be made in the
near future.
The discussion of this matter in various
sections of the state has convinced me
that the several counties in which these
schools may be located would donate suff1-
cient lands and suitable buildings for that
purpose. In order that the general as
sernbly may be fully informed as to all
necessary details attending the estab-
lishment and maintenance Of such schools,
1 recommend that at the present session
a commission be created, to serve without
CONDENSATION, with authority to receive
bids from countiesSin each congressional
district for the location of such schools
therein, and report to the present general
assembly at the next session.
Compilations of Records.
The preservation of the records of the
colonial period and OF the revolutionary
and civil wars is matter of much con-
Germ. The lessons to be derived from
these periods in the states history should
be taught to the children in our schools.
Private enterprises cannot be relied upon
to perfect and preserve these records,
neither can we hope TO obtain through pri-
vate enterprise full and complete history
of these periods. as the demand for such
a wc-k would be almost entirely restrist-
ed to Georgians. The state should per-
feet and preserve these records, and then
cause suitable publication to be made
thereof for use in the schools, or permit
some historian to Gull therefrom such
matter as would be valuable In the train
ing Of children. l therefore recommend
such legislation as will authorize the en-
ployment Of some competent person to
compile and publish these records.
Conclusion.
The subjects referred to, do not, Of
course, exhaust the matters of great i'm
portance which will come before this gen.
eraI assembly. These special subjects have
been called to your attention because of
the profound interest felt in them by the
state at large, and because the people
hope for action thereon at this session.
