In a Starving Condition.

The Columbia State, December 10.
Negro farmers at and near Hop
kins, Weston and Congaree in the
southern section of this county, are
destitute and on the verge Of starva-
ton on account of their crops being
wiped out by a series of weather
conditions starting with the big
food of last June, heilstorms which
occurred later and an early frost on
the 18th of October, which cleaned
up about all of the little they had
been able to make by r%eplanting.
These people are in a serious con-
dition and the charity that reaches
them early will be the most bounti-
full.

spot Of the week appeared today, when
the market advanced 10 cents. This

repeated declines the first half of the

Wheat ruled dull throughout the
day, but the market showed considera-
BILE strength, principally on the ad-
vance IN the price of corn. North
west and other markets were firm and
arrivals in the Northwest much small
er than year ago. The opening was
steady on cables and May was a shade
lower to shade higher, at n 1-S@
~ lac. The good demand for corn
early in the session started shorts to
cover, and the market became strong,
May selling up to a 5-8c The for
e1gn news was still bearish, and after
the most nervous shorts had covered
and with no material support from
the outside, the close was steady, with
May shade higher, at " lac. Clear
anceS of wheat and flour were equal
to 17S,GOO bushels. Primary wheat re-
ceipts were 100000 bushels against

buying on the light receipts and on
predictions of unsettled weather added

strong throughout the day. large

but the greater portion Of it was for
local account, provision interests be-
ing very heavy buyers Of the May OPP
ton, while selling July. There was
fair cash and export demand, which
helped prices. The close was strong,
with May 3-S@1-2c higher, at As 1-2c,
after selling between 46 1-8c and
46 5-8c. The continued scarcity Of
contract grade stuff was a strength
ening influence out Of 256 received,
none were up to grade.
Oats were helped by the strength in
corn and small receipts, but the VOL
