Oats-There was a fair trade in oats
with buying credited to Patten the
feature. There was selling by some Of
the cash houses, but not on a large
scale. The market was Influenced By
wheat, but lost the advance when
wheat weakened There was little
change in the general situation. Re-
ceipts are small and there is good
shipping demand. The close was steady
and a fraction lower.

Different views of the matter are
taken by antagonistic market interests.
On the one hand 1t is claimed that
such rush of light weights can only
be construed as indicating a DISPOSE
ton to get rid of the crop without
finishing 1t and at the same time save
feed. 1t is also taken as sign that
the 1903 pig crop is still backward.
Packers. on the other hand, contend
that light weights and trash are always
marketed In profusion at this time of
the year. and that sharp drop In
weights is seasonable. They regard
the presence OF an unusual quantity
of this stuff on the market as a sign
that the crop is large and that while
the normal proportion of it will be fir
ished. the surplus has merely been
unloaded.

THE ANTI-I1GPERIALIsTs. Ex-Governor Boutwell, is Reelected
 pragdenf

Boston, Nov. 30.-Many persons of prom thence assembled at the Twentieth Gen. tury Club this afternoon for the annual meeung of the New England Anti-Im- perialistic League After dinner the election of officers was held. resulting In the reelection of former Governor George s. Boutwell, of Massachusetts as presi- dent.
 In his report Secretary winsiow said; NO matter what is talked of as a pos sibility of the remote future in the Unit ed States; no matter what the corruptine influences of the dominating race may have been in the Philippines. our de- mand must be made and made more wig orously than ever. for an immediate independence for the Frlipinos.
 ''The disastrous effects of imperialism upon our foreign and domestic policy are too obvious for enlargement. The repub- lie should be bulwark against imperi- alizing tendencies which are threatening the progress of the Anglo-Saxon race, whereas, in the recent exploit of Pan- anna, we have shown ourselves pastmas- ters in the art of territorial bucaneerIng. Perhaps insignificant as 1t may seem. this event In its high handed presumption and it's Inevitable consequences. may be the means of awakening the people from the intoxication which so long possessed it and of the leading 1t back to the ways of sanity, peace and humanity"
 Professor William James of Harvard University believed anti-imperialists should look to the future rather than bemoan the past.
 "One by one." he said. i've have seen the anti-imperialists' prophecies fulfilled; the transformation of the native friend illness to execration: the demoralization of our army. from the war office down; forgery decorated: torture washed; massacre condoned ;the creation of chron- ic anarchy on the islands. with iadron- ism still smouldering and the lives of American traveieres and American sym pathizers unsafe anywhere out sight of army posts: the deliberate relnhaming on our part of ancient tribal animosities; the inocculation of Manila with float ing tankee scum. these things say. of things like them. were things w...ch every, one with any breadth of under standing clearly foretold."

Germany. now here on furlough, de- rlares that the statements of Fou. tn AS. siatant Postmaster General Bristow that he Baldwin, knows much about the postal affairs and bribery are absolutely false and unwarranted. Consul Baldwin said today:
 q Went once to MT. Heath for my son. in-law, MT. Miller, and said to him that my son-in-law desired to introduce these machines and asked him to give them 8 trial. Mir. Heath said he would investi- gate the matter. That was the only time was in the Postoflce Department. I have never seen Beavers or Driggs, nor have I communicated at any time with them"
 Consul Baldwin says he never authoriz- cd his son-in-law Miller ito make any agreement or arrangement for dollars and cents with anybody"
 Referring to tho statement MT. Bristow that there Is reason to believe that Judge George E. Baldwin knows as much about this fraud as any other party, not even excepting Beavers and Driggs," MT. Baldwin said:
 T desire to say that statement is abso- lutely false in every particular. I know Of no fraud being perpetrated, attempted or contemplated.

 ment are Arranged.
 Baltimore, Nov. 30.--The trial of Thomas W. McGregor and Columbus Fl sworth Upton. Postofice Department employees. charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States government on contracts for mall pouches, was begun in the United states Court sfoday. E
 Before the jury was sworn counsel for the defense offered two motions, one to quash the indictments and the other to require the government to elect upon which four counts in the indictment the government intended to proceed Both motions were overruled by Judge Morris. The government attorneys announced that they proposed to prove that McGreg- or and Upton had last winter gone to the leather store kept by Charles E. Smith In this city and contracted with Smith to furnish the government with 9e,000 leath- CT pouches for use in the rural free de- livery service at 90 cents per pouch, when as a matter of fact Smith could naAe a good profit on them at Q cents apiece. The difference between 50 cents and 90 cents on the contract. 1t was alleged. went into the pockets of McGregor and Upton, while Smith made his profit of 10 cents per pouch on each one and paid the re- mainder, amounting to some Ss 600. back
 
 Smith was the only witness examined by the government today. He testified that Upton called at his store in 1891 and exhibited to him leather pouch. asking ham what he could manufacture them for and he said about 60 cents. He took the pouch and sent it to the Warren Manu~ featuring Company of Massachusetts. The Warren Company. said Smith. in- formed him that they could furnish him the pouches at s7 l-2. cents apiece.

The government offcials at Caracas assert that the squadron's visit to La Guayara Is in connection with the closing of the river Orinoco by President Castro to foreign trade which has specially affected the interests of Trinidad. MT. Bax- Ironsides, the British Minister at Caracas. has twice. protested against the measure without obtaining a favorable or even polite answer.
