DISAPPOINTED AT ROOTS ACTION
Holds That the Deal with Lyon Does
Not Come Under the
Statute.

New York, Aug. 5.-Representative
Littauer has made the following state
ment relative to the glove case" sent
to the department of justice by Secre-
tary Root: II am, Of course, surprised
and disappointed at the decision of the

even a prima facia case of violation
OF statute. The decision only creates
an INQUIRY as to whether a technical
violation of law has been committed,
and removes from the case entirely
any suggestion of dishonesty or dis
honorable action on my part, and of
any improper use of my influence as a
congressman in regard 10 any glove

He Explains the situation.

''As to the matter which has been
referred to the attorney general, l am
at loss to understand how any ques-
ton, even of most refined technical
nature, can exist as to the perfect
propriety and legality of the contract
of Dec. Z, 1898. The uncontradicted
evidence concerning this contract de-
velops these facts. Mr.. Lyon was a
general contractor to the war depart
ment, furnishing not only gloves but
caps cotton ducks, and various other
articles There was awarded TO him a
contract FOR 5000 muskrat fur gaunt-
lets, which he purchased from US at a
price Of $1.54 per pair. This price we
ascertained during the process of man
ufacture was too low, as | informed
him.

DOWNWARD
TENDENCY
Little Done in the Chicago
Grain Pits Yesterday.
ALL GRAINS WERE DOWN
Good Harvest Weather in Ar
gentina Had an Influence.

Chicago, Dec. 31.-There was little do
ing in either the grain or provision pits
on the board of trade today and price :
had a downward tendency. May wheat
cloed asc lower. May corn was off 14G3sc
and oats were down 1sGhlc. May provi-
sions closed from 21z@5c higher to 7l39
1Oc lower
Wheat ruled dull and in ehabsence of
any material demand the market was
easily affected by the rather bearish news.
Liverpool cables were easier. the Argen-
tine advices reported goo< harvesting
weather and the northwest markets were
weak. The fact that the government
crop report estimator a gain in the total
yield of 50000.000 bushels was also de-
pressing influence. There was consider
able liquidation going on during the en-
tire day. The close was easy and near
the bottom. May opened lsGAc lower,
at 76&s176l2c and asles were made soon
after the opening at 761a@7sssc and then
the price gradually declined unit 16lsa
l6l4c was reached. The close was sc
lower at 76I4c. Clearances of wheat and
-four were equal to 54S 900 bushels. Pr-
mary receipts were 507, 600 bushels. against
a holiday last year. Minneapolis and
Duluth reported receipts of 296 cars,
which. with local receipts of 81 cars
none of contract srade-1nade total re-
ceipts for the three points of 3l7 cars.
with holiday both last week and year
ago.
In spite of a bearish government re-
port, corn held fairly teady a fair de-
mand from commission houses being the
supporting influence. Weather conditions
were favorable for the movement of the
crop and local traders were disposed to
favor the selling side The volume of
buiness was light and the close was easy.
with May off 14G2sc, at &c, after selling
between 43c and $3.50. Local receipts were
2s4 cars. with 3 of contract grade.
Oats were quiet and easy the depres-
sion in other grains being the chief bear
factor, although the government report
was considered disappointing. Commits
sion houses were liberal sellers early and
offerings were well absorbed by local
traders. who were inclined TO support
the market. There was less demand late
in the day and the close was easy, with
May sake lower, at 535sd33%4c, after
ranging between 33ssc and 337.c Local
receipts were 104 cars.
Packers gave good support to provisions
and although the market was easier the
decline was not as great as the weak con-
dition of the hog market would warrant.
The opening was easier on liberal re-
ceipts of the hogs and a drop of from
10Qi5c at the yards, but part Of the early
loss was regailed and the close was
steady. The market was helped some
by shorts. who covered in the January
products. May pork closed 7i2610c lower,
at sl6.731s May lard was off 2l2c. at s9.521a.
while ribs We're 219d5c higher. at $3.50
