CURRENCY DISCUSSED ALLlsonEsouE,

! I; hiss been only feav weeks since
Senat tors Allison, spooner, Aldrich ana
Others were in conference at a Virginia
sumner resort and the piess dispatches
tl,cn nrocfai-ied to the world that the
senate Leaders were drafting 4 bill TOT
currency reform to he presented 10 the
next congress for adoption. Naturally
when Senator Allison delivered Il
| speech at Clinton Saturday evening
There was even national interest in

had signed an agreement not to de-
clare their position on this subject anr
had selected Allison TO DO the talking
without saying anything they certain
| ly would have chosen well.
One reading Allison III currency re-
form must recall vividlT an anecdote
which recently appeared In the Satur-
| day Evening Post. IT seems that a
group of lawyers in Dub lque We're dis
cussing Alltson's delicacy of expression
when a Generous one wagered a new
hat that he could get positive and un-
eauivocal statement from Mr.. Allison
and not half try. The wager was ac-
c@pted and all sailed down to the sena-
tors office to see it done. They We're
greeted cordially and the conversation
began with our valiant leading. The
kind of day was passed. weather dis
]cussed and considerable sparring done
Iwhile waiting for an opening. All at
1 once the spokesman SAW his chance. A
butcher was driving fitck of sheep up
| the approach to bridge and with a
wink of triumph to his companions he
gazed out Of the window and re-
marked: why! that fellow Is driving
sheep on that bridge, isn't he SENATOR"
Allison glanced cautiously out of the
window and replied: 1T looks very
much like 1t from this side" The fell
low paid for the hat and Allison won
dered what could have caused so sud-
1
den an outburst of laughter.
Regarding the currency question AL
| lison says in substance that when we
need gold badly enough We'll pay a
small premium for 1t. which will cause
| it to flow this way from foreign lands,
| hence we have an unlimited supply of
redemption money from which to
draw. He says we are getting along
pretty we'll now and don't need any
radical changes, altho lie admits that
there is room for improvement. and be-
] lieves that some day new legislation
will result. He is averse to discussing
| the question in the cam paign, because
republicans in congress have not yet
accepted any specific 70 m of currency
Legislation, and until they have done
so the question can not become an is
sue between the parties. He promises
that no currency will be adopted
that Is not guaranteed by the federal
government and redeemed by 1t in gold.

TO PRODUCE HARDER GRAIN.
Paul HeIlstrom, Chief Of Swedish 81
oloeieai Institute Will Try.

Ot0StCdv uuS6S0SV WIN bIys
Stockholm. Nov 1s.-Scarcity Of seed
grain suitable for the arctic climate OF
Norrland and the consequent prob
ability OF recurrence of the famines
in the northern province have occas-
Toned the government much earnest
concern. Canadian and other foreign
grains have been sown but have not
shown seed producing qualities after
having been thoroughly tested.
To overcome the difficulty Paul He'll
strom, chief OF the government BIZ
illogical institute at Lucia. has devised
a means OF hardening oats. barley and
other grains, so as to make them suf-
flciently hardy to withstand consid-
cradle degree Of frost.
Under his direction greenhouses are
being erected with re'rigerating in
stead of heating apparatus, so that
Temperatures they can stand without
being frost bitten. In this way the seed
that natures from tha most hardy
plants will be used to propagate still
harder variety.
BY repeatedly lowering the temper
ature in which the plants are grown
1t is expected that after five or six
years freezing the nature of the grains
will have become materially changed
and seed will be secured that will grow
and be able to withstand the night
frosts that SO frequently destroy the
crops in the Norrland.
Hearty support is being given to this
project by the government. which Will
bear all the expenses Of the expert
ments. from which great benefits TO the
grain growers are expected. as the pro-
cess seems well calculated to effect, the
desired result.

sheep $4,000 increase. Total number
of carloads of all kinds of stock re-
ceived thus far this year 262,100, or
24,s00 more than a year ago.
Local statesmen are having great diff
ficulty in disposing of big heavy steers
and most of the holdover stock from
yesterday consisted of this class, de-
mand being very dull from all sources,
and many good kinds had to sell at
$4.30G4.60 averaging 1450 to 1900 lbs.
VITA some fairly decent grades down
as low as S415M4.25. Shipping of this
class of steers has been very heavy of
late and channels which usually take
care of big heavy steers are now yell
glutted. causing very unsatisfactory
trade, a relief for which can hardly be
looked for until offerings are much
smaller in number
Cattlemen are predicting that stock

Bullish Conditions In North

Were the Factors
A GOOD SCATTERED DEMAND
There Was Considerable Corn Offered
for Sale and the Market Was Rather
Weak in Spite of the Strength in
Wheat Oats Were Firm in Sym
pathy With Wheat

Chicago. Nov. 1S.-Wheat ruled
stronger in sympathy with bullish con-
dtions In the northwest and on higher
cables. There was good scattered de-
mand for both December and May with
the latter month leading in activity
December opened non higher at 7s
to 7Sls, and with little on the market
the price soon advanced to 1874. Min.
neapolis, Duluth and Chicago receipts
were Gas cars.
The local crowd was timid over the
situation and very little buying would
start prices upward, but the strength
was due more to scattered stop loss
orders than to any special demand.
After selling up to 1914 December
closed IN higher at 7a@7sM.
There was an inclination on the part
of local bears to sell corn, due to fav-
orable weather and lower cables to-
gether with poor shipping demand and
in spite of the strength in wheat the
undertone was barely steady. Decem-
Der opened shade higher at 41A. but
later eased off to 41ss. Receipts were
1879 cars.
There was good buying late in the
day on the strength in wheat. Decem-
Der closing Nos higher at 421s.
Oats were Arm in sympathy with
wheat. but there was tendency among
local traders to sell on the advance.
December opened non higher at s3sss
and there was sufficient demand to
prevent any decline. Receipts were Ill
cars.
Provisions were easier. owing to the
over prices for hogs.

wheat. A sudden realization on the
part OF traders that they were depen-
dent to a great extent on Armour's
Duluth wheat for filing December con-
tracts and the fact that considerable
portion Of this wheat has been sold for
eastern shipment caused an urgent de-
mand for December which advanced
the price over a cent. There was con-
siderable buying by commission houses
on stop orders and aside from selling
by longs with profits there was not
much wheat on the market. Decem-
Der was the strongest and Armour was
fair buyer OF this month and there
was good buying for the st. Louis ac-
count. Outside markets were strong,
Minneapolis and Duluth In particular.
Northwest news was very bullish.
Corn-Strength OF wheat affected
corn to the extent Of causing a fair
advance in December but 1t was not
until late in the session that bears
stopped selling and permitted the mar
ket to advance
Oats-Buying by shorts in Decem-
Der oats caused an advance OF cent.
The market was Influenced by other
grains. There was only q small trade

May was strong In sympathy with De-
cember. The big long line OF May oats

the line is being added to. This has
