DAY and prices were a trfle lower The
Liverpool market failed to fully respond
70 our advance Of yesterday. The opening
OF the foreign market was at an advance
OF and points. but this was lost De
lore our opening and the final quotations
there were two points lower than last
evening
me local market was to points down
AT the start with July selling at $40, there
was some selling out around this price
ana the bull crowd failed to support the
market causing It to sell as low as I.as
Around cents there was some good
puying and the market was advanced
to points in very short order
The weather conditions continue unfav-
orable throughout the belt, rain being re-
ported in all districts excepting along
the Atlantic coast. The weather bureau
predicts continued wet wsAther for today
and tomorrow
The movement was heavy again today
with Indications for a heavy movement
next week
We would favor the long side of the
market so long as the wet weather con-
tinues.

LOCAL MARKETS.

Cotton quotations are unchanged from
Wednesdays close. Good mddling brought
cents and the low grade sold for IA
cents.
The produce business on Norris avenue
continues active with prices generally un-
changed. Green stuffs of all kinds are
on the street in fair supply. String beans
are especially abundant. Several ship
ments of beans have been made to the
Nashville markets from here. Strawber-
rles are very plentiful at prices ranging
from 81 to $3.50 per crate. Peaches and
watermelons are coming in slowly. Deal
ers are anticipating large crops of mel
ons this year, and in about fifteen or
twenty days the market will be abund-
antly supplied. Cantaloupes are also COM
ing on the street.
No changes have occurred in poultry
and egg quotations. A good stock of
poultry is on the avenue.

War. g. LeIand,s Market Letter.

The market broke as suddenly today as
It went up yesterday. There was no APP
parent reason for the break beyond the
heavy realizing and the fact that after
an advance of over a cent, a little reac-
ton might naturally be looked for.
July sold at $40 yesterday and 79 this
morning. That is, July sold lower today
than at any time yesterda-, yet trading
was more liberal, the trade buying still
and beiated shorts were inclined to cover.
Many who took profits bought on the
break to s cents on the theory that a
rally might be expected even a further
break later on.
The market has now reached a point
where fluctuations will be considerable.
A setback Of 20 points is hardly enough
but on a further break those who buy
will have a chance to get out at higher
prices before the bureau on June ?. We
do not look for much of a break un-
til after the May engagements are all
filled. We may have another sharp up
turn at any moment and from a basis
of 8I4 cents for October. We would not
be inclined to buy as much as to take
profits.
The whirl may carry the level to SHz
cents but prices are getting to a point
where buying should take place on good
breaks only.

TELLS WHY DIVIDENDS TO POL
ICY HOLDERS WERE so
SMALL.
Drop in the Rate OF Interest and In
creased Cost of Operation Men,
toned.

NEW YORK, Nov 22.-Tarbell re-
-sumed the stand in the insurance in
vestigation this morning. He told of
further details of the agents de-
partment of the Equitable.
Hughes asked Tarbell to account
for the disappointment of policyhold-
ers in the size of dividends at the ma
turity of policies. Tarbell said that
there were reasons for the small div
idends. The rates Of interest had gone
from to 4, the commissions expenses
had increased, the taxes on premiums
in different states was double and la
Dor was higher. Tarbell admitted
there had been extravagances, to
which the small dividends were part
ly traceable. He said the work OF
the committee will go a long way to
correct this. Tarbell says he always
turned in an itemized account of all
expenses and he paid the expenses of
his own family from his personal
funds when he took them with him on
an inspection trip.

PENDLETON KNIGHTS OF GREEN
CLOTH ADOPT NEW SCHEME
FOR GAMES.
Are Guarded by VigiIant Sentinels
at All Times.

PENDLETON, Nov. $50 persist
ent have been the efforts of the Law
Enforcement League in trying to sup
press gambling in this city that
greater precaut ons are now taken py
the gamblers than ever before in
the history of Pendleton.
All the saloons where games are run
have built boxes in the back end OF
the buildings where the games are
now conducted under the greatest Sc
crecy. Peep-holes are provided In these
boxes and a lookout is kept on
guard at the peep-hole at all times,
so it is impossible for a stranger or
any suspected person to enter the
gambling rooms. The ok-out keeps a
close watch upon the front door and
at the least sign Of danger warns the
players who make ready to run or
hide the gambling paraphernalia to
prevent detection.
The bartenders can also give signals
to the lookout without being OBJ
served bv people in the barroom and
so all the five big games that are
running on Main street are thus
made almost inaccessible to the un-
initiated.
If is said that the recent raid upon
the game in the Rainier beer hall
was made upon the information of one
Of tha boss gamblers who became ag-
grieved at the boys playing in this
place because they had failed to con-
tribute to the fund kept up by
| gamblers for the purpose Of protec-
tion and mutual aid in keeping ou'
| Of court.
