 The wheat market opened strong for time and prices continued to advance on a good demand from commission houses. local bulls and shorts Reasons for the advance were various. The one most frequently mentioned at the start was the possibility of war between Russia and Japan Something of more imme- diate influence, however, a report from Argentina that heavy rain was again prevail ing in the wheat districts and that harvesting was being delayed. Foreign markets showed gains as a result of these advices. and the higher prices abroad were largely responsible for the strength here. After opening k@bc higher at S3H1S4K, May advanced steadily to 64Is, an advance of Ic. from the low point. Liberal selling by longs and some by shorts resulted in an easier tone A firm undertone prevailed at the close and final figures on May were at 84h@S4%. Clearances equaled S94.- 200 The amount on passage decreased ,272.- 900 bushels. while the visible supply increased 1000 bushels.

The market increased In strength throughout the session with only small offerings In spite of favorable weather local receipts were still small and no improve ment in grading was apparent. Some scalp CTS were inclined to fight the advance and sold but offerings were readily taken by commIs- sion houses and longs The close was strong with May at 45k. after. opening h@k to k6as higher at 44hG44% and selling between 444s and 45%. Receipts. 527 cars, contract.
 Oats were firm with local shorts doing con siderable covering and the long interest taking hand in forcing the advance The strength In wheat and corn stimulated bull efforts There was moderate realizing on the upturn and part of the advance was lost. The close was strong. May opened h to Mah higher at 37S to 37esQ37A and ranged between 37% and 37s9ss, and closed at 37%q3794. Re- ceipts, ASA cars.

UNION WINS VICTORY.
Aged Stereotypers of the New York
 Herald Lose Their Cases.

Aged Stereotypers of the New York
 Herald Lose Their Cases.
 New York, Dec. 2S-Justice Leventritt in the Supreme Court today denied the applications of Louis Quanchi and Charles Bailes, respectively. foreman and assistant foreman of the stereotyping de- a permanent injunction restraining the New York Stereotype Union from inter fering in any way with their employment on the Herald or from securing their dis charge or from preventing the members of the defendant organization from work ing for the Herald.
 The plaintiffs, who have been employees of the Herald for nearly thirty years, also asked the court to issue an order restoring them to membership in the de- fendant union.
 stereotyper named FreeI was dis charged from the Herald and he made charges to the union against Quanchi and Balles as responsible for this, the result being that both men were dis missed from the union. The stereotypers organization then notified the Herald. ac- cording to the plaintiffs that unless Quanchi and Bailes were discharged the union would withdraw it's men from the Herald. The Herald refused to discharge their foreman and assistant but consent ed to suspend them under salary until after the courts had passed upon the merits of the case. The court holds that the mems relations with the union made them amenable to the rules of that organization and that the court cannot interfere.

at the Capitol yesterday afternoon by Governor Jelks himself.
 The Governor said he did not care to make any official utterance on the sub ject but he told the newspaper men with emphasis that they migh. publish the fact that he had abrogated the contract made between Pace and the Court of County Commissioners of Tallapoosa County for the lease of county convicts.
 Moreover, the Governor declared that no guard employed by Pace, no one con nected with him in any way, would be permitted to- lease county convicts or have anything to do with county con- victs.
 The Governor said that when Probate Judge J. J. Harlan of Tallapoosa County was in Montgomery several days ago he, the Governor, talked very plainly to him on the subject of his county con victs and there was thorough under standing between them on the subject.
 Pace, it will be remembered. was the central figure in the peonage cases tried in the United States Court here last sum- mer. He was the chief defendant He pleaded guilty to eleven charges of peon- age and was sentenced to the Federal penitentiary.
 The sentence was suspended owing to Faces physical infirmity. He returned to his home near Dadeville. Recently 1t was announced that the convicts of Tal- lapoosa County had been leased to him by the County Commissioners.
 The contract has been abrogated.

 Restoration.
 Paris. Dec 2S.-The grounds upon which Dreyfus depends for vindication and res- tOration to the army have been ,ommu- nicated to the Associated Press.
 Dreyfus charges that telegram from Colonel Schwartzkoppen. the late Ger man military attache here, to Colonel Pinizzardi formerly Italian military at tache at Paris, as presented to the court martial at Rennes. bore the date of Aprll, 1894 when he was occupied with the de tails of the mobilization of troops of which the telegram treated, whereas the actual date of the telegram was the last of March. 1895. after he tDreyfus) had been tried.
 The copy found has established the cor rectness of Dreyfus's claim in the opin- ion of the commission which recommend ed a revision of the case. The statement of the case against Dreyfus containing the telegram when it arrived at the Min istry of War das dated April 1. 1895. which Dreyfus claims shows the telegram was that year. With a pair of scissors, the late Colonel Henry clipped off a corner of the telegram and thus the actual Cate disappeared. Then Colonel Henry, in his own hand. annotated the telegram April 1894. The colonel. however, neglected to remember that the month of April had only thirty days, for in the document there is mention of the ''S1st of the cur rent month."
 The unauthenticity of the telegram could have been established had the court at Rennes appreciated the importance of the error. Finally, 1t developed that in the telegram where the words 'tCe ca naille de D." appear, the initial ID" which has been substituted for the let ter "P.' The original copy, written by NJ oribelin. the keeper of the archives of the War Office. carried the letter ''P. {" The scratching upon the paper was appa- rent. but M Bertillon. the handwriting expert. testified that the letter ''D' was error.
