Professor s. G. Mitchell, of Rich
mond College, delivered before the
Baptist Ministers Conference in
Richmond on Monday last, by invi-
tation, an address on Proposed So
lutiops of the Negro Problem, (which
aroused widespread interest. Many
prominent educators were present,
among them DR.. Taylor, of Boston;
DR.. Lewis, of Virginia University
DIR. Taft, of Hartshorn College, and
DIR. Pollard. of Bowling Green. Dr.
Mitchell's address dealt particularly
with the proposition of John Temple
Graves to deport the negro, which
DIR. Mitchell opposes as impractical
BILE for the reason that the negro il
an integral factor in the Industrial
system of the South and the South
ern people would not be willing tc
send him away.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER Z, l9O3

The election returns show demo
cratic victories in Virginia, Ken
lucky, Maryland and New York on
last Tuesday, and of the kind that
encourages the belief, that they will
be found in the Democratic column
when their votes are needed IN
National as well as State campaigns.
That the Democrats would carry
Virginia, of course, no one, ever
doubted. The result, in fact, was so
we'll known In most of the counties
of the State In advance that CAM
paign oratory was not even thought
to be necessary, to arouse the people
to the duty of voting and very little
was INDUCED in. With such a feel
ing Of security large vote therefore
was not expected, but it is gratifying
to know that, except in a few coun
ties, the most of the votes were cast
in the right direction aud that the
Democratic victory was decisive
enough to give us all but twenty
members in the next Legislature
Equally decisive too was tie victory
in Kentucky. The democrats not
only won in that State but by in
creased figures, indicating that the
State is in the Democratic column to
stay. Maryland, though, is most to
be congratulated for the splendid
fight made and grand victory gained
in every part Of the State. 1t was
expected that Mr.. Warfeld, the cam
didate for governor, would be elected
but results so far-reaching as the
election OF more than two-thirds Of
the members of the Legislature wal
hardly hoped for by anyone. Will
the race question, as the issue, how
ever, the result is not surprising
The people had too much at stake tt
lose and profiting by their victory
and the opportunity presented t.
them will, doubtless, so entrencf
themselves in power, that Maryland
can be counted upon as Democratic
State in the future. The large ma
jority of 81 900 for Hon. Geo. b. Nc
Clellan as Democratic Mayor of New
York, of course means much AM
taken in connection with decreased
republican majorities in other State
are hopeful signs, that we may viii
a still greater victory in the mex
National contest.

The Eastern Shore of Virginia, 1t
is gratifying to be able to announce,
will have an exhibit of sweet pota-
toes at the st. Louis Exposition. 10
that end choice selections of them
are being stored in several places in
the two counties under the direction
of the Produce Exchange, to be
shipped, when in the judgment OF the
directors they can be best shown to
advantage. They will have place
in the Virginia building and much
expense will thereby be avoided, but
more money will be required than
the Exchange is willing to expend
and private contributions, therefore,
will be expected and the Board OF
Supervisors OF both counties will be
asked also to add to the fund. 1t is
proposed to have in connection with
the exhibit a potato kitchen, "where
lunches may be served at a small
price in the many palatable ways III
which our staple product can be cook
ed. Every Eastern Shoreman, of
course, will feel pride 10 the exhibit
and will be willing to lend a helping
hand to make it a success. The truth
is. we cannot afford to disprove OF
the display, and to be unwilling to
contribute the necessary funds for
its success. The good prices received
for sweets in late years, it is too wei
known, are due to sales made in the
West, and now that the opportunity
is presented to increase them by
showing their superior quality over
all others in that section, surely we
will not Withhold the necessary con-
tribution to that end.

The election returns for Accomac.
reported elsewhere, are in some res
poets inaccurate and do injustice to
Mr.. ohm R. Rev, nominee for
the H ouse of Delegates. The
votes cast for him and by mis-
Jake not returned, according to
report received through private
sources, was over 200, which added to
the vote returned for him would
make his vote nearly equal to that OF
the other candidates, though his
name, was not printed on ticket and

MAY WHEAT
TRlFLE OFF
Little Interest Taken on Board
of Trade Today.
CORN AND OATS LOVER
Trading Dull and Confined
Largely to Local Buyers.

Chicago, March 4.-There was little of
interest in trading on the board Of trade
today and after a fair show of strength
the grain markets closed easy, May
wheat being of 1.Q7sc., May corn down
sage and oats &c lower. Provisions
were strong and the May products closed
from 2lzaoc 10 15c higher.
The wheat market was Influenced large
~ by the action OF corn and followed
the price of that cereal throughout the
day. Trading was dull and confined
chiefly to local traders The opening
was easier On lower cables, and May
was OF &c to 1sll4c. at 11lz4NSsc 10
1850. Later the market advanced, in
sympathy with the strength in corn and
along with the better prices at New York
city May selling up TO 11ssc. but the eX-
treme Inactivity in the pit and the large
Argentine shipments-oVer Two million
bushels for the week-had depressing Ell
feet, and when the break in corn occurred
with nothing 40 support il, the market
reacted and ruled easy the remainder of
the session, May closing l40~sc lower. at
1555U111zc, after selling down to l71sc.
CIearances Of wheat and flour were equal
TO $1,000 bushels. Primary receipts Were
$4,000 bushels. against 4c5,0O0 bushels a
year ago Minneapolis and Duluth re-
ported receipts OF 30 ears, which. with
local receipts of > csrS-tWo Of contract
gTade-made total receipts for the three
points Of 30 cars, against "a cars last
week and go cars a year ago.
Corn was fairly active and the market
displayed considerable strength early on
the UnfaVOIabie weather conditions. rains
being predicted over the entire corn belt,
but heavy selling by local traders caused
a slump in prices and a weak feeling
prevailed the last hour Of the session.
The opening prices were easier on lower
cables. MAY being shade to isdd4c lower,
at 47Sst4714c. but active buying by yes
terday's late sellers caused an advance
TO 417sc. but with the demand from that
source satisfied the market weakened and
May closed Is434c lower, at 41fsc. Local
receipts were 31S cars. none of which
were of contract grade.
Oats were quiet and featureless and
the market was inclined to liQu!datiOns.
The close was easy, May sc lower, at
5Jis Gi.3l4c, after selling between 35Ssc and
35l2c. Receipts We're small, at IA cars.
There was fair trade in provisions
and a stronger feeling prevailed, there
being active demand from shorts. while
brokers also We're fair buyers. The close
was strong. with May pork 15c higher,
at $3.50 May lard closed 10c higher.
at $751;, and ribs We're UP 2iaq5c, at
s9.S719.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow:

The Steadying of the stock market, with
the cessation of the calling Of loans by

of stocks will not sell a the present level

Steel directors on the bond issue and

outlay projected for improvements had
the same chilling reception as has been
accorded similar projects By the rail

on the vanishing surplus of capital. The
steel stocks made little movement. but
the bonds when issued were offered freely
on the curb.
Syndicate support was offered for awhile

TOP PRICE WAS SOP 70

The supply of hogs yesterday was about
equal to the demand but the packers did
not get rs many hogs as they wanted.
because several car loads were carried
over The market was about steady and
the lower quotations were due to the fa0y
that the top loads yesterday were not
as god as the previous day. The buyers
remained on the market until long after
dark and tried to buy the late arrivals.
but sellers refused to accept their bids.
The buyers had some considerable
grounds for their complaint that sellers
make an effort to push prices or mixed
packers UP TOO near the price Tor fancy
heavy hogs. IT should be borne IN nina
that packers buy hogs for the number
Of pounds they viii dress and that quail
ity and weight are equally important.
Hogs weighing 30 pounds are worth NOR
tnan hogs OF the same quality weighing
22J pounds. but there are cases IN when
the superior quality Of the lighter hogs
more than Offsets the advantages CT the
heavier weight. As a rule on this mar
ket, when the buyers and sellers get wide
apart in their views il is on 3 e common
mixed hogs and not on fancy weights
and grades. Il frequently happens that
the highest tpricedrhogs are considerably
the cheapest 10 the packer. When THAI
is the case there is no getting around
the conclusion that the best hogs re
selling below thefr real valUe OF the
others too high. Justice TO country snip
peTs would be for every car load IF hogs
10 sell on its own merits Hew To the
lire and let the chips fail where they
may False IDEAS OF the hog market are
sometimes obtained by private dispatches
from Kansas CITY stating that this aud
that packer bought a certain number OF
nogS aVera ging 80 many pounds at such
an average price. That is very mislead
ing. for the simple reason that average
weight does not mean very mucn when
It does not carry quality with it, IL is
