BRYAN PRAISES INSURGENTS.
commoner Article Compares Struggle
With Those of FeudaI Days.

Lincoln, Neb. Jan. 14.-W. j. Bryan's
views on insurgency are set forth in
an article which will appear in today's
issue of his Commoner. In the article
the congressman who are standing out
against Speaker Cannon are given
commentator and encouragement
The Commoner will say history is
for the second time repeating itself.
The threat of loss of patronage to GER
tain members of congress recalls the
feudal days of old. the article say.
When the subjects Of king were dis
pleased, the ruler was deprived of his
physical head. Again, about sixteen
years ago, democrats who were dis
pleased under the Cleveland admins
tration We're deprived of their official
heads.
The article says: Party pressure is
strong, and because of the republican
party's thorough discipline it has been
difficult for members of that party to
rebel But the differences between
these insurgents and the republican
leadership is fundamental to the per-
petuity of popular government. Those
who will remain faithful will have no
offices to bestow, but they VIII nave
the approval of their conscience; they
will find also that when the eyes of the
American people shall have been open
ed to the gigantic scheme OF plumber
that is being concocted under the au-
thority of the republican party the peo-
pie will see to it that the men who now
withhold and distribute public offices
as return for private fayors will have
no patronage to give and no favors to
deny"

EVIDENCE OF HIGH PRICES.
Exports Of Domestic Breadstuffs. Meat
and Dairy Producte.

Washington, Jan. 15.-Seventy cents
a bushel for corn. slo4 bushel for
wheat. and practically II cents a pound
for cotton is the 1909 record Of the eX-
ports Of three of the principal articles
of agricultural production. The pre-
lminary statement Of exports OF bread
stuffs. meat and dairy products, cotton.
and mineral oil for the calendar year
1909, Just issued by the bureal of statis-
ties Of the department OF commerce and
labor. shows that 34,7o4 900 bushels of
corn exported were valued al s24.-
10000, or an average of 20 cents per
bushel; s4s9o2 900 bushels OF wheat,
valued at s4S,97sooo or an average of
s1044 per bushel; and 1891 million
pound OF cotton, valued at s461, 600.
or an average of 1856 cents per pound.
While these figures are stated by the
bureau OF statistics as preliminary and
only including the exports thru the
principal ports Of the country, they are
sufficiently complete TO give picture
Of the expectation of the important
articles of agriculture during the year.
The exports of mineral Oil, also shown
by the same statement, show lower
values than last year, tho increased
quantities, the total quantity of mineral
oil exported during the year being
stated as 1.495 million gallons, valued
at s99, 600, against las millions
gallons, valued at s105, 2s2 900 in the
preceding year.

Iowa's Blockade and the Markets.
[Chicago Livestock World.1

lCn1CagO Livestock w ORD.
Weather conditions in Iowa are as
bad as they can be. Monday and Tues
day of this week were warm thruout
the state and the snow softened quite
a good deal. Wednesday and Thursday
II showed hard, about seven inches of
very wet material falling in some
places. At Cedar Rapids, and generally
turnout the central portion of the state,
the fall was of that peculiar nature
that chung to everything. Even the
smallest twigs on the trees carried
load of two inches of snow and many
evergreens We're bent clear to the
ground in. their lower branches. Many
of the branch lines of railway are clean
out of commission, snow slides even
having occurred during the soft wealth
er in hilly parts. Many of the freight
trains have been annulled on the
branches and the locomotives pulled off
onto the trunk lines to keep traffic
moving. The Northwestern has many
dead engines on its side tracks and in
deed every one of the big roads is in
dire trouble with its motive power.
On the western end preference was
given at the end of last week to coal
cars over those containing merchan-
disc, and after this latest fall of heavy
wet snow every effort is being made
to move fuel. Cedar Rapids and other
large towns are in danger Of a coal
famine and, as is we'll known, some
quite important centers of population
are just grubbing along on very
meager supply pulled in day by day.
In Cedar Rapids it may happen soon
I, I. L
coal on hand transferred to the light
and power company to keep the cleo
trio plant going.
Live stock the railroads do not want
at any old price. The Northwestern
accepted load of horses at Webster
City last Saturday night for shipment
to Chicago. There were four loads of
twenty head each In the shipment.
They got into Chicago on Wednesday
night instead Of Monday morning. af-
ter having been unloaded in Clinton in
the cattle yards so they say. One horse
was dead in the car when the consign-
ment reached Chicago, and the con-
sigenes would not take the stock from
the railroad, for account of which it
was sold Yesterday Old-timers say
/ that the railways of Iowa have never
been in such shape as they are right
now. since they were equipped with
modern appliances Not a train is
moving or time on the trunk lines.
There is al least thirty inches Of
snow on the level in the central and
western parts of the state and the
ground is very wet beneath. Should a
rapid thaw supervene many bridges
I will go out as the rivers and creeks
are full now, and big tiles are dis
charging to their capacity most ex-
traordinary condition at this time of
year. 1t looks as tho the condition of
the railroads in the Hawkeye state
would be a determining factor in the
supply Of live stock of all kinds at all
markets for some little time to come.
Corn is deterorating rapidly in the
fields, and every one is bullish on that
grain. Only very small per cent of
thee rop istill in the field can be ner-
charitable. for most of the ears are be-
low the snow and much of it on the
ground.

HOGS LOSE ADVANCE
PRICES SLUMP 10 TO IS CENTS ON
LACK OF SHIPPING
DEMAND.
TOP PRICE is $3.50
FOR CHOICE SHIPPERS
Delayed Shipments Cause Cattle and
Sheep Market to be Practically Dead,
AItho There Were Few Price Changes
Those Banking on Gent Hogs to
be soreIy Disappointed.

Chicago, Jan. 15-Hogs were 10m15
cents lower today, light shipping de-
mand leaving the market in the hands
Of packers. The high mark was $3.50
for choice shipping hogs.
That Fridays 9 cent shoot was a
fictitious market was evident even TO
the uninitiated and the country will do
we'll to give this fact serious consid-
Grafton, there being no justification for
starting an s1s cent trade at interior
points simply because of 9-cent quo
tation in Chicago. Country buyers who
did that stunt last week have been
nursing regret in consequence. Cau-
ton is necessary under such condi-
tons. Had railroads been able TO move
hogs marketward with reasonable
facility, and in seasonable volume this
trade would have been impossible.
Railroad service is paralyzed as never
before and current market conditions
furnish no criterion of what would be
doing if trans portation facilities We're
what they ought TO be, even in a
stormy period.
Bad weather in Iowa makes pros
poets uncertain for next week and
many traders do not know whether 10
guess high or low on receipts for next
Monday.
Cattle.
Cattle were nominally steady. and
there was no change in sheep. De-
layed shipments left the market in both
classes practically dead.
Attic the weeks cattle trade made
bad start ii finished well. Bad rail-
road service this week mixed up re-
ceipts somewhat and kept the trade
guessing most of the time. but the de-
mand proved fully equal TO the emer-
gency and the supply was disposed of
fairly we'll. Early in the week w.lel
offerings We're large buyers hit the
market hard blow and reduced values
surprisingly, but 1t righted later and
prices now are practically on level
with week ago. Some consider The
good steers a little higher and the
lower grades steady with the close of
last week, but it has been such an m
even market that comparisons are hard
to make.
Quality has been below par all week,
indicating that the popular d=sire on
the part of the feeder is to ge, rid Of
less of condition. Weather mas been
bad over most of the corn belt ard
many cattle were sent in on that ac-
count. Relatively few choice cattle
were offered and that lends ID the be-
lief that there are not many good mes
available.
Since Tuesday the market for all
kinds of steers has been much i'm
proved and practically all of the loss
sustained early in the week has been
regained. Outlet for the good steers
for the eastern trade has been ia,
and buyers have had some difficulty
in getting as many as they wanted.
There was a strong showing of the
light weight short fed cattle, but they
sold with more activity than for some
time. indicating that the demand IS
strong for the cheaper grades of meat
Receipts for the week total $4,000
cattle. against $4,000 last week and
1000 a year ago.

COLONEL GORDON, SENATOR.
Southern Man Will Serve Only a Few
Weeks,
Especial Correspondence.1

Especial Correspondence
Washington, Jan. 15.-Col. James
Gordon, sah-"Tru.hful James'-ot
Mississippi, sab, will not get the rec
ord for short services as senator.
Colonel Gordon loses to Charles A
Towne by several days. Mr.. Towne
was a senator few hours: and he
was permitted to make a motion to ad.
journ, too
They say that Colonel Gordon will be
permitted to make a motion before his
term ends. He hasn't told Senator Hale
that he wants to, but the senators
think maybe that's because he hasn't
been one of them long enough to un-
derstand that in the matter of forma
| motions, etc, Senator Hale is omni-
potence
1t is always regarded. however, as
highly desirable that a freak" senator
be given a chance to appear in the
Record, and Gordon will be given his
chance.
Colonel Gordon was appointed by the
governor of Mississippi to take the seat
of Senator McLaurin, deceased. At the
same time the legislature was called tc
elect a successor. So Colonel Gordon
will get a week or more of service
barring the possibility of a deadlock
which may leave him in the seat fol-
several weeks
AS a new senator, Colonel Gordon
has been distinct success His picture
has been printed in fewer newspapers
than commonly catch a new senator
but that is because he was sur
prise. He has been awfully busy getting
EN- taken to meet the demand.
Colonel Gordons friends say he
thinks heiwould like it if he could stay
long enough to get used to it. Thus fan
the business of being a statesman has
been sidetracked,f because of the de-
mands on his time to tell about his
war record, his Punishment from the
country after the war, when he lived
in Canada for long time, and to deny
the stories that he was mixed up ir
the conspiracy for the assassination Of
Lincoln. That last story was a crue
one, for Colonel Gordon. tho he was {
good confederate soldier. is the las
man who would be suspected Of par
in an assassination plot.
There have been no postoffices fol
the colonel to fill, because he wouldn't
have time, and anyhow. being dem
ocrat, he would have hardly any more
influence than an insurgent republican
