GRAIN MARKETS.

CHICAGO, December 3.-Fear in re-
gard to the possible spread Of the switch
mems strike was greatly allayed at the
opening Of trading In the wheat market
today, and as a result sentiment in the
pit was somewhat bearish. Cables were
a disappointment to the bulls. showing as
they did little response to THE late up
turn here yesterday. Favorable harvest
ing conditions in Argentina were the
chief reason for the comparative weak
ness of foreign markets.
Prices at the opening here were y
higher to a shade lower, with May at
1.O5Aa1.O5% Later the price sold on to
1.051Sa1 06h.
Despite the continuance Of unsettled
weather over q large portion OF the corn
belt, the market manifested slight weak
ness early in the day, although the vol
ume of trading was small.
Slack demand for the cash grain had
depressing effect The May delivery
opened unchanged at 61as and sold later
at 61Aa61A.
Oats displayed Independent f1rmness
owing to buying of the December delivery
by shorts and elevator interests. The
May option opened unchanged to II

Provisions were firm at the start owing
to the smallness of hog receipts at all

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The market for local securities was an
indifferent one at the meeting today Of
the STOCK Exchange. There was practi-
cally no buying demand, and while there
were indications in few cases of secur-
tiles for sale, they were not sufficiently
strong to bring about any material low
ering in the scale of prices.
Ih1S was especially noticea BILE in the
case of the traction securities, which were
to be had at about the same level that
has prevailed for some days. Even in
the common stock of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company, in which
there was rather free selling yesterday,
it was difficult to arouse enough interest
to supply the figures for the days quota
tons.
The preferred stock of the company
was to be had at lower rates than were
quoted yesterday, and that stimulated
some slight buying. Two fifty-share
lots sold for 80 and 9Ob. The asking
price for the stock yesterday was 3O14.
and no change was made at the close
today. The bid was 59h.
A slight shading off in the figures for
gas stock was the only result OF the call
of that security. The asking and The
bid prices were separated by only ali
eighth of point, which Is usually
mark of extreme dulIness.
Today the bid was 72as and the ASKING
price 721s, while yesterday u was bid and
12A was asked. The interest in the cur
rent gossip relating to the future plans OF
this company remains unchanged, but
| nothing new has developed, and for the
most part there is feeling of uncertainty
as to exactly what is intended by the or
ganization of the company to operate a
plant at Rosslyn, Va.
The attitude of the market appears to
be one of waiting to see what the develop
| ments may be. and more especially as to
whether the new company is really to be
emerge in the shape of great gas trust
| with affiliations that may stretch to the

RESIGNS HIS POSITION
JUVENILE COURT JANIT0R RE-
LINQUISHES HIS OFFICE.
Dissatisfaction Among Court EN-.
ployes Over Long Hours and
Much Work Reported.

William A. Hickey, janitor of the Juve-
nile Court, has rendered his resignation
to Judge De Lacy to take effect December
81 The resignation of Hickey, coming
so soon after the resignation Of e. r.
Merriam. the deputy clerk of the court,
has created considerable interest about
the court, although 1t is said that the
resignation of Hickey has no connection
with that of Merriam.
Hickey was not at the court today,
and Judge De Lacy said that he had
not talked with him about the matter,
nor had he accepted Hickey's resigna
ton.
1t Is understood that Hickey has re-
signed because Of the amount Of work
he has been compelled to do. work
which his position as a janitor does not
call for. Besides the regular duties of
janitor, keeping the courthouse clean
and heated, Hickey has written war
rants and done other clerical jobs.
Dissatisfaction Of Employees.
An employee of the Juvenile Court said
this morning that there was considerable
dissatisfaction among the courts en-
ployes because Of the amount of work
they were required to do. He said that
they are busy nearly all day from about 8
o'clock am until or o'clock pm, or
even later. 1t was intimated that other
designations might follow that Of Hickey
Judge De Lacy was asked whether Hickey
had complained of being Overworked. He
said that all the courts employees had a
great deal of work to do, that he was
seeking further assistance from Congress
through the District Commissioners. The
business Of his court had grown to such
an extent that the entire force at the
court was compelled to work at the top
rate of speed in order to keep up with
the docket.
Larger Force Needed.
II am heartily opposed to keeping the
children confined in the house Of deten-
ton any longer than can be helped. and
try, therefore, to keep pace with all the
cases that must come up for trial." said
Judge DeLacy. I'VE need a larger force
here. There Is no doubt that a hard fight
will be made before Congress to obtain
an increase. In the meantime. we must
all work hard to keep up with the bust
ness of the court"
The expert accountants from the office
of the auditor for the District have near
ly completed the examination of the
books kept by Merriam, and though their
report will be first made to Auditor Twee-
dale, 1t is believed that they have found
no willful irregularities in the accounts
kept by Merriam since July 1 last, al
though mistakes have crept in such as
might be found In the work OF a man who
had not been trained in bookkeeping, as
was the case with Merriam.

SOME STORIES
AROUND TOWN

The Marathon craze has spread all
over the states, and although the in
terest has struck Paducah 1t has not
been sufficient to arrange any long
distance running matches. Among
the clerks in the storekeeping depart
ment OF the Illinois Central railroad
the running craze has had full sway
and frequent boasts were made Of
how much ground could be covered
in a certain time. Clayton Hopewell
one of the clerks, said he could run
five miles an hour, and Immediately
the other clerks we're from Missouri.
After working hours the clerks
with a bunch OF enthusiasts went to
the race track, where Hopewell was
to do five miles almost as quick as
the red automobiles. The shot was
fired and Hopewell started of at a
merry clip, taking a long stride and
apparently running easy. The first
trip around, which is half-mile, was
covered in quick time. and then the
runaer began 10 fall back just little
On the second mile the pace was a
little slower, although an occaslonai
squirt made the audience think Hope
Wen had staying qualities. After the

culture, and covers conditions of the
growing crops from county CORE
spondents. arranged in the crop d.
visions mapped out by the depart
ment.
State Commissioner Rankin has a
correspondent in every county in
Kentucky. and will make the monthly
reports of his department as complete
as it is possible 20 make them. The
April report explains that the per
centage given for corn ane tobacco
acreage are prospective. The pros
pect Is for the largest tobacco crop
in many years for both hurley and
dark. and an average corn crop will
be planted. Wheat is not as good
condition as 1t was at this time last
year, but with favorable weather, Il
will make a fair yield. 1--we stock
have wintered well, and the prices OF
all are fairly good, horses and mules
being high.
The percentages for fruits are
based on the present outlook and the
present prospect Is for good peach
crop.
The acreage for wheat in the state
at large is placed at 81; prospective
acreage OF corn 80; acreage of ats

WHERE THE TREASURER SUI
FERS.

City Treasurer Walters is done an
injustice IN the report of collections
for the month OF March. Although
practically ali the licenses were col
lected in February last year. the col
lections for March. 1908, ran more
than a thousand dollars ahead OF the
collections last month. Yet, for this
condition the treasurer Is not to
blame, although II appears in his
record. The license inspector is the
Official charged with looking after de-
linquents and serving notice on them
10 pay up. While few members OF
the general council are playing small
politics with the Office of license in
spector. the city is in need OF money
and the treasurer's record of collec-
tons Is being made up in manner
that wrongs the Official, no matter
how hard he may try TO fill the Office
perfectly. "a.
