CHICAGO CHANGE.

CHICAGO. Jan. 24.-Grain prices were
on balance today, because of the in
cllnation OF traders to wait further de-
v Hlop[ al IN the crop situation. May
wheat closed &c higher, May corn 1sc
higher and May oats A@ssc lower. Pro-
visions closed 7lzq12l2c higher.
Trade in wheat was only fairly active,
at times with, very little in the way of
important news. The prediction Of a
cold wave descending on the winter
wheat country stiffened prices at the
opening, and held as a factor through
the subsequent dip on weakness in the
coarse grains. May opened 3sQAc high
err to shade lower, at 793sG791sc Ca
lies later grew weak and the market
Was nervous. Trade turned dull for a
time and May prices sagged with oats
and corn to 1874 Q78Hc. Shorts covered
freely at this price, and as there was
not much for sale and receipts were
small a slow but steady reaction set in.
Coarse grains began to firm up and May
wheat advanced to 7912c, closed firm, PC
higher, at 79B4791ec. Local receipts were
z cars. Minneapolis and Duluth report
ptints Of S27 cars, against 4S9 last week
and 243 a year ago. Primary receipts
were $4,000 bu. compared with $4,000 bu
last year. Seaboard clearances in wheat
and flour eqaaled $4,000 bu.
Corn opened higher, on local covering
BY shorts and the cold weather pre-
dioticns. The weakness of yesterday,
however, was still felt, and on Western
weak The Kansas City corn blockade
still had a weakening effect, though
Western offerings were still light. Re
celpts were email here, but the South
western and coast markets showed de-
cliIes, and May slumped to 62Sse. Ca
hIes showed comparative f1rmness, and
later the cold weather reported had a
buIlish effect, There seemed, however.

took May up only to CSC. The close

Oats suffered worst of the pits on the

! uenaly higher, but they soon broke

prominent, being scattered outside stops
There was no apparent attempt to sup

generally ruled close to 10 cents higher.
Ioday the market was steady to strong
with liberal receipts. The quality of the
hogs today was very good, better than
for several weeks, take the drove as a
whole Included in the offerings were
some choice to fancy heavy hogs that
sold at $6.30@6.40. There is no doubt but
that these hogs sold for as much here
as they would have brought on the Chi
cago market. See market report for
sales.
SHEEP-Receipts this week have been
very liberal, but have been largely feed
ing stuff consigned to feeders here and
have not been on SALE Offerings have
not been heavy enough to meet dema nds
and buyers have had to obtain part of
their supplies from the feed lots Sheen
have ruled fully steady all week Lambs
have regained the slight drop Of a week
ago and are now selling fully steady with
the first of last week. There is a good
demand for stock and feeding stuff with
but very little coming in. Very truly.

CATTLE-Butcher cattle are quoted
steady with last week with all offerings
moving readily. Eastern points report
prices on killing stuff considerably lower
but the local market has been but little
affected, due to light receipts for great
er part Of the time. Veals are firm and
active with the best selling at s5S. Good
quality stock and feeding cattle are NOV
Ing readily at prices fuzzy steady with
last week. There was a slight decline on
stock stuff the first Of the week and the
market dragged little but the drop has
been fully regained. There is still no de-
mand for the common cattle and the stuff
Is only moving at very low prices. Mich
COWS are finding a good sale at the prices
that have prevailed for the past two
weeks.
HOGS-Flat drops of Is cents on Tues
day and Wednesday have made this week
an unfortunate one in the hog division.
The declines were warranted, however, as
Eastern points quoted fully as much il
not greater decline. Part Of the loss
was regained on Wednesday when prices

NEW YORK, Jan. 24-CommerciaI Adj
vertiser's London financial cablegram
seys: The approaching settlement has
tendency to check new ventures in the
stock market and at the same time to in
drcer some realization. American shares
were quite lille, but New York bid prices
up fractionally. The feature was Rio
T:ntos. which spurted to 4SSz. and closed
at 43ss. Copper rose only Il, but the
market thinks the corner has been turn
ed.
Money is very scarce and the Bank Of
England has begun borrowing in order
to make its discount rate lower.

Minnesota Senator Fires Opening
 Gun In Campaign.

Duluth, Minn. October 13.-United States Senator J. V. Quarles of Milwau- kee fired the opening gun in the DouglsS county campaign tonight. After endors- ing the entire republican ticket from top to bottom, the senator said
 iIf I were asked to say what safeguard was best adapted to the protection of the public against the rapacity of the trust, I should answer without hesitation "uni- formity of control" Trusts are being or- ganized in forty-five,s states with the greatest diversity of franchise. Every such corporation is foreign except within the limits of the parent state. In must halt at every state line and submit to any condition that each of the other states may impose upon its entry. Often times such enabling conditions operate as a handicap in interstate commerce.
 Tt is hopeless to expect that any uni form system of creation or regulation will be arrived at between the several states. To be efficient the scheme must be national.
 "The inherent deficiency Hes in our dual system of government and the strict linn itations of federal Jurisdiction under a written constitution. If congress could be invested with this power of super vision and control. the corporations of this country would be compelled to heed the divine injunction. "Rememper thy creator in the days of thy youth"

MIR. MORGAN DECLINES.
He Is Said to Have Told Root He
 Could Do Nothing.

New York, October 1S-NIr. Morgan today declined to talk about his meeting with Secretary Root last Saturday. He would not discuss the coal strike in any way, except to say that he had heard of no change in general conditions. John Markle, the Independent operator, was one of MT. Morgans callers. but beyond the bare statement that today's news from the strike region was slightly more encouraging, MT. Marl1le would say noth- ing.
 There Is good authority for the state ment that Secretary Root did not bring an ultimatum from President Roosevelt, as reported, but rather that the secre- tary was directed by the President to ask MT. Morgan to devise some means to settle the strike. MT. Morgan. it is said, took the Presidents request under advisement and later reported to Secre- tary Root his inability to do anything in the matter.
 It is known that on Friday last that one of the leading operators wrote to the Pennsylvania authorities demanding that the miners be furnished with better protection. There came a prompt reply stating that the entire Pennsylvania mil itia had been called out, and that the situation was well in hand. Apparently the operators are not of that opinion, as 1t is known that another letter has been forwarded to Governor Stone urging that he call on President Roosevelt for fed eral troops.

sPooNER FIRES FIRST GUN.
Opens Campaign in Wisconsin, Dis cussing Trusts.

Milwaukee, October 43.-senator Spoon CT opened the republican campaign here today. He spoke in part as follows:
 Trusts are the invitable outgrowth of modern progress. They are here to conserve the public interest if they will They are corporations. They are servants of the law and of the people. As servants they are inexpressibly useful. As mat ters in any field of industry they are not to be tolerated at all. for the Ameri- can people will have no masters either in politics or in business. They do not al- ways come about in an unnatural way or to stifie competition. They come about to enable a competitor to meet competi- tion.
 There is danger in these combines if they become so powerful that they obsorb the industry in a country so that they are at liberty, if they choose, to fix prices as they will and become positive mem ace.
 'I am in favor now, as I always have been and always expect to be, of impos ing a tariff duty upon competitive prod country which will cover the difference in the labor cost over there and the labor cost over here. So fast as 1t can be done without disturbing the industries of the country, paraylzing by its uncertainty our commerce or our manufactures. the tariff may safely and wisely-be revised
