Grain oninion.

Bartlett Patten g. Co.: We will have
strong spots in the wheat caused by
shorts covering, but we see no reason
for a sustained advance. The strength
in wheat had more influence really on
corn than anything else in the line of
news regarding to the article itself
Clement, Curtis & Co.: After this
advance a decline should be In order
for wheat. With this weather retard-
ing curing shorts In December corn
will be wise in seeking cover
John Fl. Wrenp & Co.: Sentiment
may cause rallies in wheat but we
doubt If this can be maintained.
Breaks in corn should be taken advan-
tage of to buy the May breaks under
the present level.
Logan & Bryant: We believe In taxi
Ing advantage of the swells to sell
corn for a lower level. We look for
an early return OF a selling pressure
on oats.
Finley, Barrell & Co.: Owing to the
rather puzzling situation in the De-
cefnber wheat a nervous scalping mar
ket is to be anticipated. We continue
to advocate purchases of MAY corn
conservatively on all depressions un-
der so cents.
Harris Winthrop: We would ad-
wise sales Of May wheat on these ad-
vances. There has been no further
liquidation in corn worth a mention.

"WHITEWASHING
Of BALLINGER /"

Washington. Nov. 1O.--L. r. CLAWS,
former chief Of the field division of
the United States general Iandofflce,
who was removed from office following
a clash with Secretary Ballinger over
the Alaskan coal land claims has
written an extensive article for a ma
tional weekly, setting forth in detail
many sensational points Of the contro-
versy. His statement bristles with
serious charges against the secretary
of the interior and hints that the Gug-
genheim interests are In charge Of the
department of the interior. The title
Of the article is The Whitewashing of
Ballinger. So serious are the accusa-
tions Mr.. CLAWS makes that 1t is not
believed that President Taft will allow
the matter to pass, unnoticed. Mr..
Ballingers first clash in Office was
with Clifford Pinchot, chief of the for
estry bureau
5aIIinger Denies Charges.
Washington, Nov. 10.-Sec. Richard
A. Ballinger of the department of
the interior today issued the following
statement:
MY attention has been directed to
the text OF an article purporting to
have been written by Mr.. L. r. CLAWS,
which is to appear in Golfers Weekly
and advance copies of which have been
furnished by that weekly to the press
"The CLAWS story is a tissue OF
falsehoods and insinuations, utterly
unwarranted in view of the facts cas-
lily obtained by anybody who wants
them.
"It is not surprising that a pubIica-
tion which could, in pursuit of this
same propaganda, recklessly. under
date OF Oct. 80. reproduce a view ap-
pearing on familiar railroad folder of
the Grand River canyon of Colorado
as picture OF an available power site
which was in danger OF unlawful ac-
QUESTION on the South Platte river.
200 miles away and across the conti-
mental divide, should be willing, with
out the slightest effort to acertain the
real facts, to give wings to story
which had heretofore been submitted
to so great and just man as the pres
ident OF the United States, VINO. after
most careful consideration thereof.
ir which he had before him the entire
files of the general landoffice and of
the secretary of the interior relating
TO each and every one Of the matters
presented. pronounced the sale dis
ingenious and without justification.
"The statement OF CLAWS has gain
ed nothing either as to its veracity i'm
the interval since it's presentation TO
the president, and, in view Of the COM
plete vindication by the president OF
myself and the other officers OF the de-
partment concerned, will make no
further statement at present"

Chicaqo cosslp.

Chicago Nov. 1O.-Cables on wheat,
Ac higher and on corn ac lower. The
advance in wheat here was caused
more by the local bulls buying than
by the shorts covering. Outside mar
kets have failed to respond to our adj
vance. We can see nothing to change

Receipts Of corn still moderate.
Farmers are very busy huslxing and it
will be thirty days yet before they

DELAWARE AT THE CORN SHOW
Could Have Easily Won Had Our
Farmers Eeen More Interested.

Could Have Easily Won Had Our
Farmers Eeen More Interested.
The Delaware Exhibition at the
National Corn Show attracted favor
able attention, and it is matter Of
serious regret to the Horticultural
Society that the farmers did not
enter any of their corn for premi-
ums. 1t was agreed early in the
year for the states to make an edu-
cation&l exhibit, and twenty three
of the states were represented IN
this way. The Delaware exhibit
represented intensive farming, show
ing what it is possible to produce on
a farm of 100 acres. This exhibit
was a matter of great interest to
those farmers who grew only wheat,
or only corn and hogs. The Della
ware rn in many ways compared
very favorably with the western
corn, but some of the states have
been breeding corn for fine points
for a number of years and by the
score card method of judging, might
rank higher than that from Delaware.
1t is proposed to have this state more
largely represented next year, and
the farmers will be urged 70 enter
into the competition for prizes. The
National Corn Association has been
a loose organization until early this
month, when it was Incorporated
under the laws of Nebraska. Wesley
Webb, who had charge of the Della
ware exhibit is one of the incor-
porators, and a stockholder in the
association.

EXPLOSION TAKES PLACE
At SMYRNA GAS PLANT
ELISHA lNMAN AND ELWOOD
Curl OFT, BARELY ESCAPE.
Building Pa TALLY Wrecked and Plant
Damaged 10 the Extent OF $500.
Gas Was Made For That Evening.

About one O'Clock Sunday morning,
while the blizzard was raging, an
explosion took place at the Smyrna
Gas Works which partially wrecked
the building and damaged the prop
erty to the extent of about $500. Two
employees of the plant, Elisha Inman
and Elwood Curlott barely escaped
d ath. They happened to be near the
doorway to another part of the build
ing when the explosion occurred and
escaped injury. A falling brickbat
struck Curlott on the head and made
a slight abrasion. TIE men ran from
tn building ard gave the alarm.
The snow was deep and drifting. The
damage, however, wos done and it
was not until sometime the next morn
ing that the accident was fully known.
With the wind bowling, some even
living in close proximity, did not
hear the explosion. The building or
shed in which the purifier is contained
was blown almost to atoms and lay
in wreckage about the yard. The
machinery was but slightly damaged
and despite the report that Smyrna
would be without gas for several
days, Joseph Smithers, owner of the
plant, showed his enterprise by hav-
ing gas for his consumers that even
ing. MIR. Smithers places his loss
at about $500 and will begin rebuild
ing as soon as possible. The eXplOs-
ion was caused by the weight of the
heavy snow on the gasometer. The
latter is fixed at a register of q
pressure but the weight of the snow
caused the pressure to run up to si2
points. This back pressure caused
the seal between the purifier and the
holder to break and the escaping ga
in the room, which came in contac
with a lighted jet, caused the ex
plosion. 1t is the first time that al
accident has happened to the plan
) in a period of thirty years.
