BARKEEPER'S TEMPERANCE So
CIETY-
The bartenders of Jersey City are
discussing proposition to form
temperance society. There will be
meeting tonight when it is UNDER
stood the subject will receive con-
sideration. One of the leaders in the
movement is quoted as saying:
81 think the idea good one. Why
should not bartenders be total alb
stainers? The interests of their en-
ployers demand that they shall at all
times be steady, sober and industri-
Gus. Why should a bartender be
obliged to drink every time he is in
vited to do so by customer? 1t is a
perniciOus custom. | believe two
thirds Of the bartenders are ready
to become total abstainers.n

In the United States bankruptcy court
was completed to-day. 1t was found that
vantage Of the bankruptcy law since it
went into effect in July, 1898. Only ia of
the Kansas people have been forced into

first year the number who applied to the
bankruptcy court for relief from debt de-
creased every year.
Kansas has been a surprise to the gov
clerk of the District Court, to-day They
told me that they expected more people in
this State to take advantage of the law
than in any other State in the Union, ac-
cording to population. The result has been
great deal different. In large number
has always been held to be an honor, many
more people have taken advantage of the

Arkansas, Georgia and many other States

times more bankrupts:

doubtedly would have been swamped with

1t was the law went into effect five years
after the hardest Of the hard times, and
the people were nearer out of debt and
could see ways to pay what seemed like
mountains of obligations few years

ut is seldom now that a man files an
application for bankruptcy hearing.
When he does it is because he has hope

In prices OF sheep and lambs this week than last,
but finally the net loss for the week was not
large. The market weakest the early part
OF the week. and by the middle of the week sales
represented decline Of at least 25c in prices OF
lambs and heavy sheep. The choice light sheep
however, continue TO sell at about steady prices,
probably account OF the scarcity. The latter
part OF the week there more competition IN
the market and slight rally in prices, which
brought the average up to within about l0c OF
the close of last week. AT time in the week
most Of the good lambs here sold around s., but
at the close of the week the best grades were
selling up $535. Sheep sold as high as Ss59
during the week. but rarely above 1885, and at
the low time good to choice kinds were bringing

to lack of competition from local butchers.

through the north, central and western

cially noticeable. The movement Of this
crop will be a repetition of the movement
of the wheat crop last July-it will be so
small and so quiet that we will hardly no.
tice any change from the movement OF
grain at any other time Of year."
If Spencer and his crowd do not receive
support from Armour or some other influ-
entail trader there is a large possibility of
the Spencer corner on wheat ending like
the famous Joe Letter, jr., corner few
years ago-at loss of many hundred thou
sand dollars. Spencer is one of the clever
est spectators in the wheat market, and 1t
is not known, of course, but what he has
his lines all laid and is ready to keep
the market up even If as much as 100000
bushels are delivered to him Tuesday. Lo-
cal brokers received tips from Chicago and
St. Louis yesterday to get short of De-
cember." The outcome of the Spencer cor
ner is awaited by local brokers and trad
ers with much interest.
Trade is inclined to quietness. Values
are steady to firm at present quotations,
with a firmer undertone to the market. The
general movement of all kinds of grain
and hay for this season of the year con-
tinues exceedingly small. consequently the
few offerings meet active inquiry, well
maintaining values. But in view of the
fact that industrial conditions are slowing
down. and that there is steady but con-
slant shrinkage going on in values of all
kinds of manufactured products, the claim
is now put forth that the output is I'm ex-
cess of domestic requirements and values
will have to seek level that will induce a
large foreign demand before there can be
any permanent relief. Grain prices seem
to be too high TO permit OF free export
movement. Money Is closer and less avail
able for supporting market values. From
present indication the great bulk of the
last crop will not be marketed freely until
the end of the crop season.--Collns e Co.

An Increase in all-rail freight rates on

the local shippers to get as much corp
loaded and consigned or en- route to the
seaboard ports as possible before to-mor-

reduce the value of grain here from $lz
TO s15 a car after Dec l. and the shippers
will, of course, try to get all their present
stocks shipped or loaded and consigned, at
least before the increased rate goes into
effect.
The Indianapolis dealers received notice
yesterday from all the roads to the effect
that after Dec. the rate on grain for ex-
mort or domestic shipments will be adj

will amount to about rs cents per bushel
