THE WHEAT MARKET
DECEMBER GETS A
BOOST AT START
Advance of 1 1-2c Made in Wheat
With Shorts Covering-Loses Later.

Chicago, Dec. 14.-December shorts
were scared at the opening of the
wheat market this morning, and bid
the price l 12c higher than the clos
ing of last night. Other options op-
ened IA to 1-2c a bushel higher than
yesterdays closing. Closing today
was 1-2c lower for the July and May
respectively.
Early fright gave way to reason,
and therefore there was a renewal of
short sales Profit taking aided the
shorts in bringing the price down
again.
Some apprehension was felt early
in the day regarding the Argentina
crop. Today's cables from there stated
that the damage to the crop was
greater than had been recently esti-
mated.

Union Stockyards. Stockdale, Dec.
14.-On the occasion of the first an
nual stock show at the yards today,
it was quite natural that the trade
should be rather excited and neglect
sales so as to more thoroughly ad-
mire the most excellent showing of
cattle ever made to the Portland
yards
So thoroughly interested were live
stock handlers in the project of hold
ing such show that they decided at
the last moment, late last night, to
award separate prizes for speyed
heifers The prizes for these there
fore will be the same as for COWS and
steers. viz, $3.50 for the best carload
of not less than 20 head, $75 for the
second best carload and s25 and SIS
respectively for the best and second

Competition Is Keen.


Competition for the prizes was
keen: there being displays of selected
cattle from all sections of the Pacific
northwest not even excluding Cali
fornia. Idaho contributed liberal
supplies and Oregon shippers went az
ter the prizes with the best supplies
they ever sent forth. No longer can
anyone say that the Pacific north
west does not produce first class cat
tie for today's showing in the Stock
dale Yards gives the lie direct to such
an assertion.
Sales Made at Good Prices.
Despite the great interest in the
livestock show, prices did not suffer
in the yards during the day. Sales
of good steers were made as high as
$A75 and anything that was in the
good class could have brought with
in a fraction of this figure.
Sales of cows were made up to the
former extreme limit at 1915; sever
al loads being moved at this figure
during the past "a hours. Even bulls
sold up to $3.50 while a single stag
that weighed 1860 pounds sold read
| lily at 81 during the day.
Hogs Sell Again at $3.50.
Great strength continues in the
| trading around the hog market at
| Stockdale. While the receipts for the
day were very liberal, consisting of
536 head compared with 557 yester-
! day and none a week ago today, still
the demand is even better than sup
plies and the trade is finding not the
| slightest difficulty in securing a move
ment on the basis of top figures.
Hogs that range around 200 pounds
and better climb very close to the
| high point and this class of stuff is
is even in better demand than the
cheaper swine.
Another Advance in Sheep.
Sheep market shows another ad-
vance of 25c today. While there was
quite a liberal showing in the yards
during the past "a hours, when a to-
tai of 1888 head were received, still
the call for sheep is increasing very
fast. Selected lambs are easily worth

New York, Jan. General Theodore

marks on the difficulty of convieting
local malefactors, in his annual report
Tuesday. Among other things, he said:
Too many lawyers live BY showing

Novel Charter for New City in New

ferent from that prevailing In any other
New England city will govern Caremont
ii the viii of its residents is ratified by
the legislature. At the election Of No
yenber last, the citizens voted to change
Claremont, hitherto the largest town in
the state, into city, and adopted q
charter. This charter, however, must be
approved by the legislature, and efforts
will be made to secure early action on
it at the term opening at Concord this
week. One oil the most interesting fea-
lures Of the charter is that ii does not
divide the city into wards, as Is custom
airy with New England cities. The gov
ernment is to be in the hands Of mayor
and nine councilmen. all of whom are
to be selected without regard to the
part OF the city in which they may re-
side. Nominations must be made at
direct primaries. on non partisan basis.
Several municipal officers who are usu-
ally elected either directly by the peo-
pie or by the city governments IN New
England cities are to be appointed by
the mayor in Clafemont. These include
the commissioner of public works, over
seer of the poor, city treasurer, city so
licitor, chief Of police, chief OF the fire
department. board Of health and board
Of library trustees. The commissioner
OF public works will have large powers.
Ha will have control Of streets and
sidewalks, public buildings, public GENE
teries and parks and public water works.
He will appoint subject to the approval
Of the mayor, city engineer, highway
commissioner, a superintendent OF water
works, an inspector OF buildings and an
inspector of plumbing. The city engi-
neer may be a nonresident. The nine
are to serve without pay.
The people also win elect board of

Washington, Jan. According TO
gossip about the Senate the hesitancy
OF President-elect Taft in announcing
formally his selection of Frank H.

tion would be. raised to his serving as

which has more federal patronage than

came necessary for him to choose be-.

the postmaster generalship he would

cial field and say that it would really

however, that Mr.. Taft is giving some

the outset of his ross-examination of

house yesterday, and before he had gone
far the defendant was earaged In put
ting the questions Mr.. aDrrin again
dragged into the case Mrs Claudia Hams

whom the defendant ID Jointly accused
Of the murder Of William f. Annis. He
tried to show that after the captain
had gone to the Philippines Thornton
Hams attempted to make love to his
brothers wife--that he said to her.
Claudia, You look sweet. | would like
to kiss you, only you are my brothers
WIFE; that he entered her room while
she was lying in bed and addressed
improper remarks to. her.
Not long after the resumption OF the
case, Mr.. Darrin uncovered this new fea-
ture in his cross examination. AT first
Mr. Mcintyre let him 60 on without
making an objection, but the cross fire
had not advanced very far when he was
on his feet with an objection. with a
vehement gesture he demanded that Mr..
Darrin produce Mrs. Hams herself. in
order that she might tell her story and
the defense have an opportunity to cross
examine her.
