Until the supply has been put up
the railroad men will have plenty to
do, the yardmaster being an especial
ly busy man. In order to facilitate
the handling of cars Trainmaster ].
R. Howe, of Hannibal, is here and will
probably stay until the railroad bust
noss again becomes normal in the
yards.
Hundreds of men found work with
the event of the ice business. aud all
the teams in town will have slenty

harvest had started later Most of
the payments for this week will be
made Friday just in time for Christ

NEW HOTEL LAW
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Travelling Men Who Worked Hard for
Passage of Bill are Greatly
Disappointed.

| Travelling men are disappointed be-
cause the new hotel inspection law
has been declared unconstitutional by
Judge w. H. McHenry, of the district
court at Des Moines.
The travelling men of Iowa worked
hard to secure the passage of the stat
ute providing for the inspection of the
hotels of the state, and the act arous-
ed the opposition of many of the hotel
men, who united in fighting a test
case in the courts.
Under this law the safeguards for
the public health were extended and
the comfort of the travelling public was
insisted upon.
The law provides that every build
ing used by the public for accommoda-
lions in which there are ten or more
sleeping rooms for guests shall, for
the purpose of the act, be known as
hotel. Judge McHenry attacks that
section of the law, on the ground that
there is class distinction in it's pro-
visions.
The hotel inspector, holding an Of
flee created by the act, comes in for
his share of criticism, and Judge Nc
Henry claims that law delegating
Legislative powers to the inspector is
unconstitutional. According to the
act it rests. with the inspector to de.
termine what is approved fireproof
construction gives him the power to
determine whether or not the water
used for fire protection is of a suf-
ficient pressure, and gives him the
power to pass upon the fitness of 9TH
er fire escapes used in lieu of the rope
which the bill says must be kept in
each room

Daily Grain Letter.

! CHICAGO, H., Dec. 20.-Wheat-
Worlds shipments, S,S16,000 Elk
tremely cold weather in the northwest
may continue to restrict the move
ment. Traders viii doubtless contin-
ue to be influenced by the cratic
Argentine markets. The congested
December delivery is also an import
ant factor. Local sentiment is bull sh
and outside traders limited. AS the
market is under no hedging pressure
1T Is easy to maintain prices. We
still believe that May wheat prices
more than discount anything that is
legitimately bullish in the situation
Corn-Weather conditions fine for
movement and grading. Movement
is now bei.g restricted by car short
age and a lack of motive power on
some railroads. The extremely cold
weather also hinders the operation of
trains and restricts receipts. While
it may develop that December is still
oversold, we incline to the belief that
the outstanding short interest is OF
relatively small proportions in Dc
cember. The big bear interests are
aggressive on May delivery and if
favored by good weather and an in.
creased movement we believe 1t will
succeed in forcing lower level.
Oats-Profit taking by longs has
been on large scale for week. We
look for it to continue sometime
longer. On the basis of cash prices
and light receipts December should
sell a couple OF cents higher. Unless
the shorts overstay we do not look
for any sensational advance in De-
cember oats but think they are worth
at least 45 cents. May will OF course
be influenced by the action of De-
cember.

The report of the department OF ag-
riculture does not indicate that there
will be a serious shortage of bread
stuffs In this country this year. al
though the figures to date show a con-
siderable loss in winter wheat as COM
pared with a year ago, the estimated
loss in round numbers being 100000
bushels.
To a considerable extent this is off
set by larger acreage and greater
yield of spring wheat which brings the
total indicated crop OF wheat up to
693 100000 bushels, as compared with
664.000000 bushels at the same time
in 1908. Some important interests in
the trade figure that the consumptive
demand has grown enough to absorb
this difference and that before the en-
tire crop is harvested we will run into
a period of actual shortages rather
than a surplus. 1t is also figured that
foreign requirements easily will take
all wheat which is not needed for do
nestle purposes as crop conditions are
generally understood to be unsatisfac-
tory in most of the old world grain
raising districts.
