WHEAT MARKET MAKES NEW RECORD Then Eases Off and Close S
 Weak PROVISIONS ARE FIRM Primary Receipts of Wheat for the Day Are s5e, 900 Bushels, Compared With e65,ooo Bushels One
 Year Ago.
PROVISIONS ARE FIRM

Chicago, November 12.-After establish inf new high record for the May de- livery and equalling yesterdays high price for December. the wheat market to- day eased off on proit-taking and closed weak at net losses for the day of A to A@ssc.
 Oats were weak and provisions firm
 With the exception of a sharp rally toward the middle when the May deliv- cry advanced to $1.OSs and December to 1.04, the wheat market was bearishly inclined all day and closed almost at the bottom figures with December at $1 .O0g1 .O1h and May at 1.07AQ1.07as
 The weakness was due to free selling by a number of the leading longs who were disappointed at the apparent indif- ference of the European grain mar kets to the bullish news regarding crop conditions in Argentina, all the EuropeaQ markets closing weak. The chief support came from local shorts, advices from Ar gentina claimed that the drouth in the southern portion of the country was still unbroken and that serious damage would result unless relief came speedily in the shape of rain.
 Low grade wheat was in rather poor demand at the sample table.
 Primary receipts were s59000 bushels compared with 665, 900 bushels the corre- spending day a year ago.
 Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago re- ported receipts of 561 cars, against 46S last week, and BPS a year ago.
 Hoe in the corn market during the day but each advance brought out liberal realizing sales which resulted in renewed weakness. The demand was based chiefly on reports of small offerings in the country. The market closed weak and near the low point with prices unchanged to Ac lower Final quotations on December were at 621sc and on May at 62A@621se. Local receipts were 1O9 cars with of con- tract grade.
 Oats displayed moderate firmness early in the day on buying by shorts, but be- came weak late in the session as re- suit of selling by longs and cereal manu- facturers. The decline in wheat and corn also had a weakening influenee. Prices at the sample tables were steady. The market closed weak at declines of shade to 1ac compared with the previous close. Final quotations on December were 49q491sc and on May, 51q51Bc. Local receipts were 9S cars
 Provisions scored a fair advance owing to a 50 to 10c gain in the price of live hogs. Commission houses were the prin- cipal buyers.
 The market closed firm with the prices up 211 to 171ac.
 Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat, 50 cars; corn, 123 cars; oats, 139 cars; hogs, 24.0o0 head

ENGLISH sclENrIsTs

IN MANI lCpENs
WINNIPEG. Man. Feb. 14.-what
promises to be the greatest gather
ing OF scientists ever held in the new
world will take place in this city in
the autumn Of 1909. when the British
Association for the Advancement of
Science, the foremost Organization Of
its kind in the world, viii meet here.
Already the people of the Chicago
OF Canada are making preparations
for the reception of the distinguished
guests who win be here on that occa-
sion.
The meeting In Winnipeg will only
be the fourth in period of seventy
eight years. which the association has
held outside the British Isles. The
first occasion was in 1884. when the
meeting took place in Montreal; the
second was in 1897, when Toronto had
the good fortune to be the scene of
this important gathering; South Afri-
ca was visited in 1905. and, in 1909,
Winnipeg is to be honored.
The British association was founded
in 1881. and especially "for the i'd
vancement of science" Among its
past presidents may be mentioned H.
R. H. the Prince Consort, Huxley,
Tyndall, Lord Kelvin. Sir William
Dawson. Lord Rayleigh, Lord Lister,
Rt. Hon. A. j. Balfour. Sir George
Darwin.
The association includes in its mem
bership practically all the better
known scientist in Great Britain, and
is the most representative and one of
the most influential scientific societies
in existence. AS it is customary for
the association to invite to its annual
meeting number of distinguished
foreign scientists, it is safe to assume
that winnipeg will have the honor of
entertaining many of the most emf
nent scientific men in the world.

TE,sT; BOO M SURE lsyERs
IMPORTANT ONE.

CHARLESTON, w. va, Feb. 49,
School teachers are numerous in both
houses Of the Legislature 50 It Is not
surprising that many educational mat
tiers are coming before the solons.
The most important bill under CON
siderahon is known as the Uniform
text book law. 1t provides for uni,
form text books throughout the State
with a State board consisting of the
State superintendent OF free schools as
oncio secretary and consisting Of six
educators Of known character and abil.
ity representing the primary, second.
airy and higher institutions Of learn.
ing to be appointed by the governor.
not more than four OF which are to be.
long to one political party. The bin
is known as Senate bill NO. IS and is
now on its second reading in that body.
Book agents and school book com.
panies naturally oppose this bill,
which is said to be "in the interests
of the schools" and not in the inter.
ests Of the school book trust,
Widely Discussed.
Such bill has been widely discuss.
ed among educators for many years
and bills along this line have previous
ly been Introduced in the legislature,
but such strong bill has never yet
been drawn and the credit for it is
said to be due Senator A. o. Ashburn,
of Doddrldge county, for eight years
superintendent of free schools in that
county and at present teacher in the
Sutton high school.
Senate bill No. 16 is important to the
Normal schools of the State. 1t recog.
nizes diplomas from the Normals as
first grade teachers certificates for
five years.
House bill No. 10, which is carbon
copy of Senate bill No. II, recognizes
university diplomas likewise.
A minimum salary bill is on its sec.
ond reading in the Senate and is pend
ing amendments.
The committee on education OF the
house was requested to prepare bill
which will be general revision of
chapter As, and that work is now going
on. The committee is well able to pre-.
pare fine bill and will no doubt re-
turn satisfactory measure.
