Business before politics is the order in the railroad commission, and although all of the members are to be reelected this year, pot one of them is out campaigning. They consider the business be. fore the commission more impor- tant than all in the city and will tomorrow hold very important monthly session. The three brakesmen rule will be the most important matter before the commission for consideration, but this will be given sufficient time for all arguments to be fal- ly heard. A complaint was re- ceiyed by the commission yester- day asking for depot at Walls Ferry, on the White River branch of the Iron Mountain, but it will not come up for hearing until neXtmonth. Commissioner Hamp- ton will preside over the meeting tomorrow as usual, and Commis- sionerS Allen and Crockett will be in attendance.

New Financial Bill

Washington, Jan. 6.-The Re. publican members of the Senate Committee on Finance met this morning and agreed upon the text of a bill designed to meet the financial situation. It will be introduced in the Senate tomcr- row and will be referred back to the full committee.
 The measure provides for an emergency currency issue, sub. ject to a tax of 6 per cent. The tax is placed purposely high so that the currency proposed will be purely emergeny. A limit of S250, ,00O, 900 is placed on the amount which can be ou utstand- ing at any one time. To expedite retirement of the circulation when it's purpose is served, pro. vision is made increasing the amount that can be oyer the pres. ent limits of the Aldrich act. which provides that an amount not in excess of $9,0OO, ,OOO can be retired in any one month.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Features of the Trading and Closing
Prlcea on Ronrd of Trade.

CHICAGO. Aug. 22.-The beginning Of the
movement OF the new crop OF wheat on a
large scale IN the northwest~had a weaken
ing effect today on the local market, prices
at the close being off LGaac, compared
with yesterdays final quotations. Corn
ana oats closed steady, but provisions were
weak.
rho situation in the northwest as re-
lated to the early movement of the new
crop was the dominant factor in the wheat
market. Arrivals of new wheat today at
Minneapolis we're eighty-five cars, against
fifty-five cars yesterday and twenty-seven
rho previous day. 1t was expected also
that Mondays arrivals would be much
larger. The naterializins last night of
predicted frosts in many localities of the
spring wheat country, had apparently al
most no effect and only caused mild firm
ness at the start, which offset the weak
ness of foreign markets. soon after the
opening prices slumped nearly IL In all
deliveries following a break at Minneapolis,
September declining from 93sac to 92Stc
and December from 9f1sc to @c. On the de-
cline the market received fair support from
leading elevator interests, which stcadied
prices, but the lack of any export demand
and the slowness of trade in cash wheat
precluded any material rally. Additional
selling pressure developed late in thR day,
owing to n break OF l2c in tho price OF No.
l northern wheat at Minneapolis, bun offer
ings were not liberal. For September the
low point of the day was reached at 92lsc,
and for December at e3SLc. The market
closed easy, with September al 9Sc. Final
figures on December were 81. Clearanees
nj wheat and flour were equal TO 415,0c0
bushels. Primary receipts were 7S1, 900
bushels, compared with rs ,OJ0, bushels on
the corresponding day one year ago. Min
neapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported
receipts Of 500 cars. against PA cars last
week and 219 cars one year ago.
The weakness of wheat Included con-
siderable selling of corn, but the market
held fairly steady, owing 60 the low tenn
peratures which prevailed last night over
the corn belt. rhe close was steady, with
prices 1s6hc higher to &c lower Septem-
Der closed at nc, and December at e5Ssq
65%c. Local receipts were 1856 cars, with Al
cars of contract grade.
There was very little trade in the oats
market and prices held comparatively
steady, At the close prices were a shade
lower to SO higher, with September q,
ASAsc and December AT 4s%c. Local receipts
were 122 cars.
Provisions wer, weak all day because OF
nrofit-taking sales in the September ano
October deliveries. Pork showed the great.
est losses, the declines In that being from
INC to 41IEc, from the high point of the
day. The close was weak at almost IN:

a good, strong price.
For the week the receipts. as reported
Yesterday. have been very large, showing
a heavy gain over all previous weeks Of
recent date, and st the same time being
double what the receipts were for the cor
responding week for last year. The ar
rivals have consisted quite largely OF lambs.
the proportion of that kind being the lare-
csl Of any week so far since the begin
ming Of the range season. In spite Of the
large receipts OF lambs, the market ad-
VanCed very sharply the first Of the week
under free buying on the part OF both feed
Crs and packers Later on i'm the week adj
vices from Chicago indicated a very heavy
break in the lamb market. The trade began
easing off, especially on fat lambs. so that
the advance was all lost and possibly a lit
tie more. the market being hardly as good
at the close of the week as II was one
week ago. Feeder lambs, on the other
hand. did not break so much. the market
being sustained by a very active demand
from tho country. Still, it was a noticeable
fact that the wire edge was or the market
before the close of tho week. although
prices We're still a little higher than they
were last week.
Sheep. both killers and feeders. advanced
sharply tho first of Tho week, and as the
supply was by no means hurdensome, the
advance was well maintained until The
close Of the week. It is now safe 10 quote
IA sheep around 15d25c higher than las,
week. Feeder sheep arc also higher. al.
though possibly the advance on that kind
has not been quite so great as on tho hes,
killers. Taking the week as a whole, thu
market has certainly been in a good
healthy and very satisfactory condition.
