The AIiddlebury Register bolts DR..
Mead. At the head OF its columns it
publishes all the republican nominations
except his, and adds: I'VE will give the
nomination for governor as soon as the
nominee publishes statement of his ex-
penses in the campaign, as other candi-
dates have done" The newspaper revolt
against DIR. Mead is significant Of a state
wide sentiment in opposition TO the
methods that characterized his pre'con-
vention campaign. The st. Johnsbury
Caledonian and the Enosburg Standard
refuse absolutely to endorse his candidacy
although supporting the remainder OF the
ticket. The Mortified News and the
Randolph Herald and News, while not
out.and-out boilers, are giving DIR. Mead
no actual support. Several other republl-
can papers have given only perfunctory
endorsement to the republican nominee
for governor, at the same time pointing
out the many good qualities of his demo
cratic opponent. Almost every republican
paper in the state has urged DIR. Mead
to make public statement showing what
the nomination cost him. Thus far the
nominee has taken the attitude that it Is
none of the peoples business what the
nomination cost him; in other words "the
public be damned"

The success that crowned the Efforts 81
the local committee appointed 10 secure
the abolition 81 the Bridge street railroad
crossing and other public improvements
emphasizes forcihly the importance OF the
pulliogethcr spirit in a community. Close
" associated in the work which the com
mittoc was Obliged TO do were two men
who frequently have taken opposite sides
on important public questions In TINS
particular case. however, they forgot
former differences 81 opinion and worked
together as harmoniously as II they had
always worn double harness. IL was this
spirit Of cooperation as much as any
other one thing that enabled the com
mittee TO bring TO 80 successful a termi'
nation its negotiations with the railroad
company. Now that the warning Wards
koreans" have so conyincingly dcmonstfat'
ed the truth Of the old saying that in
union there Is strength il is TO be hoped
that they will always be found on the
same side in matters concerning Brattle'
boros welfare Furthermore, II Is TO be
hoped that every man in town will LET
this illustration teach him lesson. The
opportunities that Brattleboro has lost IN
the last 40 years through fractional fights
are many-so many that an enumeration
Of them might prove dscouraging TO future
endeayor. But il is well TO make gen
eral reference TO them for the purpose OF
laying emphasis on the folly of anything
but united plan OF action when the
prosperity of the town is at stake.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE
Future Grnin and Provisions

CHICAGO, March 5.-The wheat market broke
violently here today following moderate upturn
early Ill the session and closed at almost the
bottom with prices Z al y @11.c below the final
figures of the previous day.
Corn and oats followed wheat and closed weak
and lower
Provisions also closed heavy at net losses of
&c TO I15c.
The slump in wheat today occurred during
the hnal hour of trading and was caused by gen
eral selling brought out by favorable weather
conditions now prevailing in the new crop in
the southwest. Several prominent interests were
liberal sellers and this caused free sales by pit
traders and small holders In addition to being
depressed by the bright outlook for the winter
crop the market was also bearishly affected By
weak cables and extremely slack demand for the
the weakest in several months.
During the first half of the day the market
displayed considerable frmness owing to cover
ing by shorts, who bought freely Of the July de-
livery. When this demand was satisfied, how
ever prices were easily forced down owing TO
the absence of any material support. May sold
1.05& to S1.03%. The close was only trihe
above the lowest point, final figures on May
being at S1.12$. July closed at 81. 03% q .O3
Lively demand by shorts early in the session
resulted in stiff advance in the price of all de-
liveries of corn, but declines ranging from &C
to lie followed. Large stocks in store and CON
siderable liberal receipts Weakening inhu-
ences. Cash prices remained about steady, al,
though some cars sold about 1ac higher. No. .
yellow sold at 60hc. During the day the May
delivery sold between 63c and 64c. The market
closed weak at almost the bottom. May being
;Sc lower at 63M631sc.
Oats displayed moderate frmness early in the
day, but weakened late in the session in sympa-
thy with the break in wheat and corn. May
ranged between 45c and 45$i a 10 1sc. The mar
ket closed near the lowest point, with May 12c
down at 45c.
Provisions were weak nearly all day. A &c
advance in live hogs and light receipts at pack
ing centers were apparently ignored. The market
rallied a trife from the low point. but closed

PRICES WAIVER
IN STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK, March 5.-The
wavering price movement in to-
days stock market reflected the
lack of conviction over the specu-
lative outlook The news from
Philadelphia was partly respon-
sible for this.
The extent of the response for
a call of a general strike there
in itself threatened an amount of
disturbance of profitable activl-
ties SUFFICIENT to command the at
tention of those interested in
companies shares. The bearing
of the situation on the general
situation of labor adjustment, as
presented by the numerous de-
mands upon the railroads now un-
der consideration, was deemed
important and calculated to arouse
anxiety.
There was a noticeable absence
of the. attempts which were made
at the end of last week to arouse
apprehension over a possible de-
cision to be handed down on that
day by the supreme court in the
American Tobacco case. The rise
in American Tobacco shares in
the outside market this week has
Impressed speculative sentiment
on this subject more than the
more direct contemplation of the
government suit against the
company. The movement in the
tobacco shares. in fact. was made
an important consideration in the
support of the general stock mar
ket
The support accorded stocks
associated with the name of J. P.
Morgan & Co. stood out rather
prominently in the rise at the end
of the session. The large partici-
patton of that firm in the bond
market is a feature The desire
OF those engaged in bond fiota-
ton to keen the stock market in
a good abSorptive state for the
sympathetic benefit of the bond
market is a usual system of pc
riods of large bond offerings. The
manner in which the market shall
dhe the DOnOS now tOlllHS Jul -
a subject of interest. Information
bearing on the matter was not
given out today.
The market did not have to
digest the bond statement. since
it was not published until the close.
There was loss of over s10,000,00
in the actual cash holdings of the
banks compared with preliminary
estimates of a gain of several
millions. AS loans expanded at
the same time the effect on the
surplus was intensified. bringing
the decrease in that item up to
$3.50. $50. Discounts continued to
rise in London and New York
bankers are still discussing the
likelihood of an outflow of gold
from New York.
Bonds were irregular. Total
sales (par value), s1,512,000.
