 Tho meeting of the Democratic club was fairly well attended considering the weather The open air rallies for Alderman Koppemann of the Third district were abandoned because of the inclement weather and the speakers returned to the club headquarters in the Weldon block where Alderman Johnson gave the first of series of in- formal talks, The record of the West Side Workingman's club and of John Gunshanau, It's organizer and promoter were discussed. It was stated that Mr. Gunshanan is responsible for the distri- Button of the Lilley circular which now threatens to prove q severe boomerang for the republican candidate, The dls- integration of the West Side Work ingmens club because of its financial management, and its exploitation for political purposes, was explained by workngmen familiar with the stua- ton,

 Other speakers contributed to the rec ord of Mr, Lilley in such a manner that he would hardly have been fattered to hear the comments. W. A.

day and with the demand fair, prices for

tomatoes were less excessive and prices for
them had an upward tendency, but there was nc
actual advance. There were no lima beans OF

was dull and receivers expected it to remain

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE
Future Grain and Provisions

CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-One of the chief factors
contributing to the strength of the wheat mar
ket was cablegrams from Argentina stating that
severe storms were doing considerable damage to
the wheat crop. Other advices from that coun-
try confirmed the previous estimates of a COM
paratively small amount of wheat which will be
available for export. These reports transformed
a weak market to one of strength. At the OPEN
ing prices were 1s s@3c lower compared with
the previous close, the weakness being due to
a decline of A41ad at Liverpool. A hrmer tone
developed toward the end of the hour and
throughout the remainder Of the day sentiment
in the pit continued bullish. A special report
made by a local exporter who inclined to
doubt the accuracy of the government statistics,
showed that the government figures placed the
total acreage at 1,250 600 acres more than was
claimed by this authority. This report helped
TO strengthen the market The close was strong,
with all deliveries at the highest point of the
day. May closed at SLOTS and July at 995sc.
The corn market closed strong at the highest
point with prices up 15@%c and final quota
tions on May were at 611a @611sc and on July
at 61Ac.
The oats market closed firm at the top, with
prices up 1s@Ac compared with the previous
, close. Final quotations May were at 51Jkc
and on July at 46Zc.
Increased receipts Of live hogs here and at
other western packing centers induced moderate
realizing in provisions by local longs, which
caused a weak market throughout the entire day.
Prices at the close were off 12i5 aI5c.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
