WOMEN AFTER CAR SEATS
Chicago Post.

chicago POST.
The expected has happened at last Ad-
vanced womanhood, scorning longer TO ask
or to expect little gallantries from the
despised male sex, has organized to demand
as a right what seems TO be generally de-
MED as a courtesy.
Women of New York who have swung on
the straps or oyercrOwded street cars and
of them have formed the Car Passengers
Rights Society. Instead of appealing 10 the
innate gentlemanliness OF the man passen-
gers they VIII first make an attack on the
street-railway companies. and falling here.
they will appeal to the Legislature.
These women have adopted a wise course.
They are keen enough TO recognize that the
man who pays a nickel 10 ride I'm a street
car Is as much entitled TO a seat as IS the
woman who gives up similar amount In
stead of asking the men to waive this right
they will seek to persuade the railway
companies to furnish seats for every MCKEE
fare, or else to secure legislation compelling
the companies to charge only half fare fof
passengers who are forced TO stand
AS the average woman Is confirmed

But even I'm the face OF this possibility
the new society is TO be wished every sue

watched with lively interest I'm the hope
that the society may form branches and
make the movement general.

GRAIN PRICES ARE LOWER
DECEMBER CORN LEADS WITH A
NET LOSS OF TWO CENTS.
Fractional Declines in May Corn,
changed to Five Cents Down.

CHICAGO, Dec. 16.-Lower prices pre-
vailed to-day on grains on the Board of
Trade. May wheat closing l9@5sc lower,
corn a shade lower and oats off i4q5sc.
Provisions were unchanged to sc lower.
Wheat ruled weak on easier cables and
better weather in the Northwest. The
weakness of outside markets and the gen.
eraI inactivity of the market. due to some
extent TO the poor condition of the wires,
were also depressing influences. Brad
streets reports on the worlds visible
showed decrease The leading long os-
tensibly enlarged his line, but it was sup
posed that he was selling through brokers
and this fact induced others to sell. May
opened shade to 4c lower at 7715c to 1850
77s4c and gradually sold off to 1850. A fair
export demand caused slight rally toward
the close, which was 17Qssc lower at 77lsQ
T14c. December closed 1lsc lower at 741sc.
Clearances of wheat and flour were equal
to 100000 blu. Primary receipts were $751;,
600 blu, against $4,000 bu year ago. Min
neapolis and Duluth reported receipts of
$50 cars, which, with local receipts of "a
cars, one of contract grade made a total of
653 cars, against Glib cars last week and Geo
cars a year ago.
Increased receipts caused heavy liquida-
ton in December corn and there was a
break of 212c in that delivery early in the
day. Although covering by scattered shorts
caused a rally later in the session, the
general situation was easier. Reports from
the country were bearish, stating that the
majority of elevators were filed with corn
and the shortage in the only
drawback to the marketing of the same.
Lower cables, better weather and an in
crease in Bradstreets visible supply were
also depressing influences. a fair demand
existed for May and with offerings mod
crate that option was comparatively steady,
closing only shade lower at 431z@43ssc.
after selling between 43AQ433sc and 1880.
December was off &c, closing at SIC, after
ranging between 5219c and 55c. Receipts
were 563 cars, u of contract grade.
oats were easy under rather free selling
of long property by commission houses.
An easier tone to the cash market had a
depressing effect on the speculative trade
Trade was only moderate. May closed IA
sc lower at 321sc, after selling between 32ss
QS2a4c TO 331sc. Receipts were 379 cars.
Provisions opened firm on higher prices
for hogs at the yards, but local realizing
caused slight decline. A fair demand
for January lard was supporting infiu-
ence and the close was steady with jan
uary pork off DC at Sl6.6714, lard unchanged
at S9.l21s and ribs 212m5c lower at $50
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat,
90 cars; corn, 225 cars; oats, $50 cars; hogs,
$1,000 head.
