Daily Market Report

A general shortage of the bean
crop in the United States has ad-
vaneod the price this year approx
mately so per cent, and at the pres
ent time the importation from Ger
many is necessary to supply the de-
mand.
The shortage is due to a decrease
in acreage in some sections and I'M
favorable weather conditions in
other districts where beans are ex-
tensively cultivated. The Potlatcfl
country that has heretofore had an
annual output Of approximately 60
carloads will this year market about
20 cars. The shortage in this sec
ton is entirely due to the decrease
in acreage, while in California the
crop this year was almost complete
failure.
Beans are now wholesaling at from
to y cents. depending upon quail
1ty, while In former years the whole
sale price has been from ~ to 81
cents per pound.

A law suggested as being produc.
tive of that end has to do with tho
issuance Of licenses to brewery and

a majority of he "joints" are either
owned or controlled by the brew
ers, distillers or wholesalers. The
idea Is to enact law requiring the
applicant to make oath that none
other than himself is interested d.
rectly or indirectly in the business.
With proper amplifcations, it il
contended, such law would make
it impossible for large concerns to
dot the country with "little dumps
OF iniquity." The individual with
all the responsibility attached to
his ownership and control, would
dominate, and It is urged, would con-
duct 2 higher grade OF saloon.
Such an act would carry with 1t.
of course. proviso prohibiting is
suance of more than one license to
anv man or company and also pro-
hibiting an individual or association
becomin surety on more than one
license bond.
Another law suggested provides
for the appointment of a state saloon
inspector, with deputies, whose SAL
aries and expenses shall be taken
care of through an inspection license
so as to not add to the general bur-
den Of taxation. Under this system
every saloon would be regularly in
spected and compelled to maintain
standards that are not insisted upon
by the police power.

The claims carry gold. copper and
silver. The average assay is about

lack OF shipping facilities is a draw

Those who are at the head of the
saloon interests in this state in the
fight against local option have made
a very careful count OF legislative
noses, amounting in fact to a cav
vass very personal in it's character
While they will not admit it fol

The anti-local optionists have hop

jectionable legislation--but they're
four shy. They claim to have eight
senators who will vote first, last
and all the time against the local
option bill, but eight is not ma
jority of %.
While the leaders of the ants have
given IN hope of escaping anti-sa-
loon legislation they have by rr
means given up the fight against
local option Notwithstanding tn.
present odds against them. They
believe they can defeat local option
through some concessions to the anti
saloon pople, thereby drawing from
the latter quite a few votes that
would go to them il it were put up to
them in unauthorized form.
The local optionists. on the oth az
hand. are more firm than ever in the
belief thar their pet measure will

tionlsts is that the Republican party
is up against the issue this time. 1t
has pledged itself to pass a local

n ew York. Dec. 23.--From pres
ent indications. field of 200 start
ers, probably the largest that ever
ICED starter in a foot race. will
compete in the championship Mara
thon to be run under auspices of
the Yonkers A. A. new Years day
at the Empire City track. Already
many of the champions are training
including Jim Crowley, the sturdy
Irish American who won the Thanks
giving day Marathon at Yonkers;
Sam Mellor. the veteran who finish
ed second; Fowler of Boston, who
finished third, and Corey and Hatch
of Chicago.
1t Is not generally known that Te-
WANNA. the Carlisle Indian long dis
lance man. entered protest against
Melore with the A. A. U. after the
Yonkers race. asserting through his
manager, Sam Nash, that Melore had
ridden in an automobile part OF the
distance on Central avenue when en-
tering the Empire City track. A
number of aflidavits were presented
which disputed this assertion and
President Sullivan set aside the pro
test. The Indian finished fourth in
the race after setting great pace
for 1S miles, was passed by Mellor,
who after securing a lead of six
minutes was taken with a stitch"
in his side and forced to walk for
considerable distance. Mellor has
completed more Marathons than any
man in the world. and has several
records to his credit His last rae
was won in the Newark Marathon
two years ago.
The race is to be the full Mara
thon distance. 26 miles 1856 yards,
this being done on the request of
Crowley. who believes he can lower
the records of both Durando and
Hayes. President Sullivan of the
A. A. U. will referee the race. 1t is
estimated that the largest crowd that
ever saw a Narration race will witness
this, 1t being the first time that
full race can be seen by all the spec
tators from the start to the finish.

changed hands during the same Pc
rtod In many years. At the close OF
the year farmers usually sell consii-
cradle of the grain held over from
harvest, and thus make an effort to
start the new years with clear
page. This year. however. the ware
houses are practically empty and the
sales must be light, even If farmers
sell freely of the small lots on hand.
