BROKERS VIEWS ON THE
WHEAT AND CORN MARKETS
Profit Taking by Wheat Holders and
Scalping by Armour Features In
Yesterdays Market.

IAibert r. Thompson G. Co., Indianapolis.l
CHICAGO, Dec. E.-There has been enough
profit taking by wheat holders to make easy
market for the December and May. The July has
been firm. The market has not been big one.
There have been. on 4 small scale, scalping OPP
erations by Armour's selling early and buying
on the dip. The Northwest cars were 5S3. against
s2s last year. Southwest receipts were large and
the primary total was $1,000 blu. The weather
was dry over the winter belt and July here and
at ST. Louis was firm. The seaboard reported
six loads to South Africa, and Duluth sold TWEEN
~ loads to miers at higher prices. The visible
May increase was about. 1l2,0CO, 900 bu. The
Northwest declared the farm offerings very
small. We still look for much higher prices and
favor buying on all dips
The December corn broke almost 1c to-day,
and went to discount of 1c under the May.
There were deliveries OF corn on December con-
tract and quite large deliveries expected this
Afternoon The crowd thought there some
crease in offerings from Illinois. The futures

F. CHICAGO. Dec 5.-There was considerable
profit taking to-day in wheat, which the
natural result after weeks bulge. Northwest
receipts continue small compared with last

New Workers Threatened with Smaller

Be they hunting case or open faced pies,
the trust that controls them was bitterly

and restaurant keepers in Mckinley Hall,

The pie octopus had ordered either a half

pies. and the retail sellers had met to sit
on and squash the problem. True. the
circle OF any conscientious pie still remained

were further tempered with.

AN OLD CANNIBAL.
African Ruler Asked III 1t Was White
or Black Mans Meat.
Philadelphia Record.

HnllaQclpIld ntCOIu.
After having visited one of the most iso-
lated ports of Western Africa, the old
Calabar coast, on a trading voyage, the
British schooner Mary Hendry arrived at
Philadelphia last night without mishap.
The natives of that section are declared
for the most part TO be cannibals of the
most ferocious type. On the way back,
being In ballast, she stopped at San An
dreas island, Caribbean sea, where hold
full of cocoanuts was taken on board on
account of Philadelphia merchants. On the
outward run, articles were sent out that
would please the natives, whose only article
of export is palm OIL
While discharging her cargo the King of
the Niger settlement visited the schooner,
where he was entertained by Captain Foote.
He was given the best dinner the vessel
could afford. but INDUCED in nothing but
pork, and after his meal the King inquired
whether il was white or black man meat,
as he was only accustomed to the latter.
Being told it was neither, the old King,
whose face was as black as coal and his
nose as fiat as g pancake, was greatly
surprised.
Many presents were given by the black
ruler to Captain Foote. among them being
several queer musical instruments made
from the bark of wild trees, and peculiar
coins, the only medium of exchange in the
country Hundreds of good-lookng colored
damses caused the crew TO leave the place
with great reluctance.

GINGER DRINKERS.
Habit Has Crept Into the South
More Dangerous Than whisky.


The recent death of mountaineer from
overindulgence in ginger recalls the fact
that through the South especially and
more than ever in Prohibition districts
where it is difficult to procure whisky. the
habit OF drinking ginger still exists.
That a person may become intoxicated
on cologne, and that hilarious jags. which
often end fatally, may be built upon wood
alcohol, are facts which have become gen.
orally known. But the use OF ginger as an
intoxicant only has not been widely adj
vertised. Yet hundreds Of persons are vic
tins of the ginger habit, just as others are
slaves of the rum habit. and others still Of
the cocaine and morphine habits.
There are some pharmacies in the small
er towns in the South, and especially in
Georgia. that have a regular ginger GUS
