elated over every little sign which
seems to favor their unpopular cause;
but practical politicians who are still
on the wrong band wagon know that
the amendment is lost. And that is
why there is so much secret gloom.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO. Dec. 29.-Liberal receipts
in the Northwest Offset the effect of
firm cables and caused considerable
weakness in the wheat market here to-
day. Despite the congested freight sit
uation in the Northwest. due to the re-
cent severe storms, total arrivals of
| wheat today at Minneapolis and Duluth
were sl3 cars, compared with 1866 cars
for the corresponding day a veal ago.
This free movement was considered a
~forerunner of still larger receipts in the
near future.
Prices at the opening were unchanged
to u higher, with December at 11S and
May at 1903 to 1111s. Local longs were
inclined to take profits and December
soon sold off to 116hs. At the same time
the May option declined to 11oh.
Constant increase in local stocks,
slack demand for the cash grain and
the weakness of wheat prompted free
selling of corn early in the day, which
resulted in moderate declines. The De-
cember delivery showed the greater
weakness. May opened unchanged at
e61a, sold at 661s@ss and then declined
to s8N.
Oats were bearishly affected by the
heaviness of wheat and corn. although
the selling pressure was not pro-
nounced. The May delivery opened UNI

SCORE RAILROADS. DELAY
IN SETTLING OVERCHARGE.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.--In a de-
cision by the Interstate Commerce
Commission. handed down today. in
yolving a claim of 20 cents in an over
charge on freight, made against the
Aberdeen and ASHORE Railway Com
pany and other lines, railroads geher-
ally are severely reprimanded for their
delay In adjusting claims where there
has been a palpable overcharge.
The case was that of a Wilkesbarre,
Pa, firm which alleged ar overcbarge
of 20 cents on a shipment of iron wagon
axles to Carthage, N. C. The railroad
admitted the overcharge, but did not
settle with the shipper until the latter
had exhausted ordinary methods of col.
lection and had finally filed a formal
complaint with the commission.
II carriers persist in their delay the
commission intimates that it might be
under the necessity of calling the at
t~ention of Congress to the matter.
