WHEAT CORNER PROSECUTION.
Action to Be Taken by Federal Govern
ment in Chicago.

Washington, Nov 3.-The Armour
Grain company of Chicago will be
charged by government agents with pro-
iducing corner in wheat, in violation of
the Sherman antitrust law. The charge
will be made to the federal grand jury
for the purpose OF getting that body
to seize the warehouse receipts and col
lateral of the Armour company in Chi
cago before the Chicago board of trade
is open for business. The warehouse re-
eeipts are deemed necessary to complete
a criminal case the government has been
working up against the Armour COM
pany. If the receipts show the govern
ment's allegations to be correct. the
grand jury viii be asked to indict Pres
ident Marcy, Philip Armour and Lirchner
of the Armour Grain company for eff
fecting a pool in wheat.
Ii is charged that the Armour Grain
company has made a corner in wheat and
that the company controls 62,000,000
bushels or sixty per cent, Of all the
wheat in the country, and that the ware
house receipts and collateral which show
his corner are in the hands of the Con-
tinental Trust company and the Com
mercial Bank of Chicago. IL is further
charged that President Marcy of the
Armour company is in New York, ariv-
ing there yesterday afternoon, for the
purpose of negotiating those warehouse
receipts in an attempt to prevent the
government proceeding criminally
against the officers OF the Armour Grain
company The 62.000000 bushels of
wheat are said to be in Chicago, Mime
apois, Duluth, Buffalo, Newport News
and Baltimore. The action of the gov
ernment is similar to that against
Patten, Thomas and others on the charge
Of eornering cotton. The latter case is
before the United States supreme court,
having been taken there on an appeal by
The defendants.

New York, Nov. 3.--Following the

Weekly Cotton Review

New Orleans, December 22-The net re- suits of the weeks trading in the cotton market were an advance of 10 to B points, The high prices were made on Wednes- day, and the low prices on Saturday. At the high and the trading most were 3i to 43 points over last weeks close; at the lowest they were 10 to 20 over. From the high and the lowest there was dis crepancy of 20 to 9 points,
 The high prices were made after the bearsh report on ginning by the census bureau. This report put the amount of cotton ginned up to December 13 at 13,- 7s9. .652 bales, which was considerably high CT than the average expectation. Bulls offered the market support and price re- sponded.
 Late in the week the labor troubles In Lancashire had depressing effect on prices, and pared the advance down ma- terially. At the same time bears were not aggressive sellers on the news that the master spinners had agreed upon a lock- out, to take effect next Wednesday.
 It was holiday week from first to last and the triple holidays following the clos ing restricted trading to no small extent Much of the business done around the ring was of a scalpng nature.
 The spot market lost hs. mIddling clos ing at 9Mc, against 9Ac last week. and IA 15-16c this week last year. Sales on the spot amounted to S55 bales, against 69s1 last week, and 4Ol5 this week last year sales to arrive amounted to 3S32, against 1o.S5O last week, and 6150 this week last year.

MARKET OPENS
 STEADY AT DECLINE
Cotton Is More Active Than Usual Considering Holi-
 days-Close Steady

New York, December 22.-Todays cotton market was far more active than is usu- ally the case just preceding the Christmas adjournment, and prices ruled generally lower under liquidation by recent large buyers and other selling, which was in- spired no doubt by the recent easier ruling of Liverpool, continued apprehension of serious labor troubles in Lancashire and predictions of bearish ginning figures early next month. The close was steady, but at a net decline of to r points for the day.
 The market opened steady at decline of to points in response to the lower cables and sold off to net decline of about 10 to F points during the forenoon under liquidation and bear pressure. It was estimated that notices representing between 150o0 and 20,Oo0 bales had been is- sued against December contracts, and that position was relatively easy under scattering liquidation, presumably from trailing longs. The market steadied up 8 or points from the lowest during the late forenoon on covering, but soon weak ened again on private cables reporting that master spinners in Lancashire had decided to lock out their employees com mencing next Wednesday. The lowest point of the day was reached after re- ceipts of this news, and the close was within a point or two of the lowest.
 The dispute in Lancashire is said to be with reference to the right of the mills to employ non-union labor, and while. many of the private cables received claimed trade to be too good to permit of any prolonged suspension Of manufac- ture, other advices said that the situation was serious. There was very little news from the south but an impression seems to have been created in local circles that the interior has not been following recent advances in futures, and in addition to the factors mentioned above part of to- days selling may have bene inspired by expectations of easier spot markets and the bearsh week end figures. All three of the leading markets will be closed to- morrow and on Monday, while Liverpool will remain closed until next Wednesday morning.
 Receipts today, SS,5s1, against s6,51S last week and 53, 134 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans, 10,149. against 14,O26 last year; at Galveston, 16,106. against l,135 last year, and at Houston. 14,a44. against 5719 last year.
