CHICAGO, Nov. 13.-The chief topic IN CON

be the tremendous line of wheat supposed 10
be held by one of the leading commission
houses. It is sufficiently large IN Voiume 70

but small headway and are frequently run H.
we believe the situation is discounted for the
time being as far as the merits OF Immediate
situation are concerned. Therefore we reel
that one having faith in future strong de-
velopments and IN the big line of wheat pelng
held intact can buy wheat on each little olp'
otbervvise we do not believe the situation justi-
6es the long side except on good breaks very
little is said today concerning exports although
a few loads claimed sold. John Dickinson soio

The failure of the country to offer corn freely
TO the market was the chief sustaining FACTOR
The demand largely is coming from shorts

PROHIBITION LEGISLATION
Not Approved by Model License
League-Strict Observance Favored.

Louisville, Ky, Jan. 22.-The Model
License League, composed of men in
tcrested in the manufacture and sale Of
spurious and malt liquors, today adopt
ed resolutions declaring for temper
ance ana condemning laws intended 10
destroy their properties and favoring
strict observance to license laws BY
liuuor dealers as a means to prevent
further prohibition legislation. The res
olutions point out that centuries of eX-
perience go to show that laws for the
nrohibition of the sale and manufac-
ture of alcoholic beverages while de-
scructive in their nature, are absolute
" impossible Of enforcement, and as
s2rt that the Anti-Salooon League
far from being a reform movement is
a political organization of dictate
rial and dangerous character
The resolutions further assert that
a law formerly prohibiting the manu-
facture and sale of alcoholic beverages
and permitting the purchase and use
of these beverages. while proving de-
structive Of nature, inevitably fails to
prohibit either the use or the abuse OF
alcoholic beverages, that prohibitory
laws only show as a result an increase
in the per capita consumption of wine,
heer and whiskey: that sumptuary leg
islation is in conflict with the spirit
Of or liberty and that reform is a
matter of education pure and simple.
