llquidating by shorts, the December de-
livery showing net gain of 11sd1A. Corn
was OFF IS. Oats were IS lower and provi-
sions 2l9d715 higher
The demand for wheat, which caused
the strong tone late in the day, was
based chiefly on the weekly statement of
the New York banks. which showed a
more satisfactory condition than has been
generally expected An improved export
demand and liberal shipments from here
the past week helped to strengthen the
market. There was an active trade dur
ing the last half of the session, but the
volume of business early in the day was
very light. Lower cables and sharp
break in corn were bearish influences
that caused weakness the first part OF
the day The market closed strong. De-
cember opened 14G3s lower to 1s@i4 higher.

Renewed liquidation caused a slump of 2
cents per bushel in the price of corn. a
large part of these sales were said to be
for the account of an eastern trader

low point on buying by shorts. induced by
the strength of wheat. The close was
steady. December opened a shade lower

was at 5S2sd5S1R.
Oats were weak almost all day. There
was only a small volume of business. The
market was affected principally by the
action of corn. A TO Accent decline in
cash oats had a weakening effect. De-
cember opened unchanged at 1875. sold
between 451s and AIS and closed at 49,.
Provisions were firm on active demand
by shorts. Offerings were light through
out the entire day. A IS to 20-cent advance

The question may be properly and
honestly asked: What has congress
done since it convened in the short
session? It convened on the second
day of the present month elected a
speaker and the other necessary officers
effected an organizations and has
practically done nothing. Why? Be-
cause Speaker Cannon for reasons only
known to himself, but which can
easily be surmised has deferred the
appointment of the regular committees
until the long session. Uncle Joe
is a standpatter of the ultra kind
and the members of the House IN
sympathy with him have let it be
generally understood that there would
he no revision of the tariff during
this or the approach ing session OF
congress, 1t looks as if Cannon ana
the other representatives of the
trusts In the lower branch of Con-
gress were willing to jeopr'dize the
chances Of the SUCCESS of their party
at the next genera! election by pre-
venting the legislation the people are
demanding. Campaigns hereafter can

Republican party. That is an old
threshed out record, party ties and
obligations have lost their force with
the masses and the party must do
something to command confidence and
support. There was fear that II
will not commend itself to the people.

THE USHER|NC IN
Of new YEAR NEXT
One Resolution Especially
Be Mdde-Ddrk Side of
Life Man.

A new year is about to be ushered
in, and no doubt the usual resolutions
will be made, but one resolution should
be made, especially by those who look
upon the dark side of life and things.
The person who is always looking
upon the somber side of existence and
sees nothing good and nothing worth
living for ano is generally out with
himself and rhe world. On the con-
trary, those who look on the bright
side of life and only see the good in
themselves and others. are the ones
who make those with whom they meet
In social or business way happy and
life sweet dream, carrying sunshine
and joy wherever they go. There is
plenty uf evil in the world mustbe ad-
united, but the good predomlnates and
this "sin cursed" world is growing bet
ter and will continue to to grow better,
until all evil has disappeared from
the mortal consciousness and the spirit
of love becomes universal. Lvok up,
Instead of down, and realized that the
great march CT events is toward the
best there is in life and let the srn-
shine into your heart and consciousness.

If you cut down a tree in Norway
you must plant thereon sapl1ng. 1t
is certainly very wise law and demon
strates that the Norwegians are
very sensible people and are looking to
the future and making arrangements in
their day and generation for those who
shall folluw them. Experience has
taught the world that the destruction
of the timber renders the land sterile
as has been proven in the old world
which, eighteen hundred years ago
was fertile and supported dense
population. In our own country in
many of the eastern states the destruc-
tion of the timber has rendered the
land almost worthless for agricultural
purposes and in the west the forests
are disappearing in fact have almost
disappeared, to satisfy the great greed
CT men for money, who care nothing
for the future not for those who shall
follow after. Laws similar to that
in Norway should be enacted IN every
state compelling those who cut down
trees of any kind or description to
plant one In the place of those remov-
ed and see that they are protected.
During this season Of the year hundreds
of thousands OF small pine, fir, spruce
and tamarack trees are cut down and
shipped to the cities for Christmas
trees and the forests further dennded
for the prevalence of custom which
it would be better to observe in the
breach rather than in the practice
and the people should discontinue
the custom by finding some other
manner of meeting the same endless
obstruction of forest life and the
perpetuity of our forests.

The President is consistent in his
Inconsistencies and while he makes

judgment OF the writer, who has an
abiding confidence in President 2oose-

mistake i'll advocating a ship subsidy
which will amount to hundreds of
millions before another octopus will

arises, who will be benefited by such
