Rapid Falling Off in Receipts
Sustains Wheat.
Damages Estimated so Per Cent

SQUEEZE in DECEMBER
Fails to Keep Corn From Going
a Little Lower.
Provisions Weaker in Face of
Higher Hog Prices.

Chicago, Dec. 28-WHEAT-Rapid fall
ing off in receipts northwest put strength
today into the wheat market The fig
ures were in striking contrast with the
total a week ago and also for the CORE
spending time twelve months back. At
the outset, however, the pit was influenced
by bearish reports that the weather had
improved in the Argentine and that crop
advices from India and Australia showed
a favorable outlook. Later dispatches,
though told of damage estimated as high
as so per cent in the western provinces

of 1s0Ac and then rallied to 1885,
After slight additional gain, state
ments that the rust in the Argentine was
not serious except in spots brought
about a setback. The close was easy with
May sc net lower at $3.50
CORN-The squeeze in the December
option made other corn futures inclined
to be firm despite cold weather, indicat-
ing more generous arrivals. Outside or
shorts, however. there was not great
deal of buying May opened shade to

vanced to 641sc-
subsequently the market reacted be-
cause eastern demand was slow and the
tightness in December delivery had sud
denly disappeared. Closing figures were
weak at 634c for May, a loss of %9asc

MEAT INDUSTRY GROWS
Receipts of Live Stock at Chicago
Show Increase of 10000 Cars.

Chicago. Dec z-Steady increase in
Chicago's meat industry is shown in the
annual report Of the Union Stock Yards
and Transit company, issued by the Of
fetal statistician. 1t shows that 1000
more carloads of live stock were received
the past year than the year before. The
total number of carloads received during
the last fiscal year was 271,0O0.
In addition the horse market here
doomed up materially. 1900 head more be-
ing shipped to the Chicago market in
1911 than in 1910. Prices for horses were
higher.
The statistics indicate that prices for
cattle and hogs decreased IN 1911, com
pared with the Ia-evious u months For
beef cattle the price per 100 pounds is
given 35 cents less With hogs the
average price the last year was 500.
while a year ago it was approximately
$50.
In numbers. beef cattle receipts fell off
from the preceding year 5000 head,
total number of 2.93G000 head appearing
for slaughter. This is attributed to the
crusade against the high cost of living
which hit the fresh meat industry hard.
More calves were received however by
go head. there being $50, 900 head
brought in. The sheep market was
strong, 5,714s000 being received, nearly
half a million head more than in 1910.

a largely attended meeting in the
Cleveland Gray's armory.
The senator's audience was an en-
thusiastic one and frequently urged him
to proceed, when he made an attempt
to shorten his address. Repeated invi-
tations were offered from the audiences
to come again when the senator an
neunced that it was the first time he
had been in Cleveland.
Closely following Senator LaFollette
was former Secretary of the Interior
James r. Garfield, one of the reception
committee. John D. Fackler, state sec
rotary of the Progressive league, pre-
sided over the meeting. He introduced
Senator LaFollette as the man who
has destroyed the bipartisan politics of
big business in Wisconsin, and the next
president of the nation
Senator LaFonette departed come
what from the speech he had planned
by launching into the primary ballot
law, charging that "Clevelanders have
been sitting around here being dis
franchised for 50 years, by political
bosses, but it is not for long" he said
as his hearers laughed and applauded.
The speaker then took UP the dis
cussion of trusts, quoting from a book
by Ambassador James Bryce, to illus
trate his point of view
In his discussion of the trusts. Mr.
LaFOllette said the combination of cor
porations was the cause of high cost
of living, because they controlled prices
and that God almighty never made a

troll the homes and families of an
American citizen

Slow, dragging movements and lack Of
speculative interest characterized the
stock market during the morning. An at
tempt to bring about a continuation of
yesterdays late decline met with poor
success and operations were begun on the

support although the small losses of the
early morning were made up.
The market moved in an uncertain
fashion during the second hour.
The Coalers, Union Pacific and United
States Steel covered a range of about no

volume of business The undertone was

easily whenever pressure ceased.

Trading up to noon brought about very
little alteration of prices The trend was

TO STOP SPECIAL BILLS
Senator Works Proposes Amendment
TO the Sherwood Measure.

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Works
(Cal) will attempt to attach to the Sher-
wood pension bill provision absolutely
prohibiting any special pension bills and
making ineligible for pension any person
who attempts to get special legislation.
Senator Works hopes to stop the flood of
special pensions which are passed by con-
gress at each session.
In spite of the fact that the senate COM
mittee on pensions is framing a substi-
tute for the Sherwood bin which would
scale down the pensions proposed. the
measure as it came from the house has
found many supporters in the senate who
favor the ''doIlar-a-day' allowance.

Death of Baby Miller.

Prof. F. C. Miller left last week for Trenton, Tenn, where his family have been visiting with their relatives and friends for month, in answer to summons to the bedside of his precious baby boy, r. C.. jr., aged about eleven months, who was said 10 be in pre- carious condition and suffering greatly from malignant attack of whooping cough. There was a rumor abroad here Monday that the little fellow was dead, but this was at that time mistake. though perhaps forerunner or premonition of the truth that the dear baby passed away at 4:45 yester day morning, even in the midst of and despite the very best medical at tenti0n and careful nursing of devoted papa. mama and all of the household and their friends. Its a strange dis pensation, the inscrutable decree and will of God but it is just as surely true that He d0eth all things well and for the best. and that not even sparrow falIeth unseen IT without His divine and glorious love We have no particulars of the funeral but We pre- sume tbe remains will be tenderiy laid away there, and the little grave cover ed with banks uf sweet flowers em ble- matic Of the little. yet perhaps very great Saul of Baby Miller They had learned to love this sweet babe, and oh how hard it iS 10 give him up A1i the wealth of the world could not buy is absence for an hour and all would be gwen for just one word from the prattling tongue now stll.ed in death. You. who have not lost your own flesh know not its awful terror, and We would give much if We could write line that would in the least matter Words seem so unmean- ing. But down deep in our hearts we can >ympathize with our dear friends in the awful laceration of theIr hearts and the gloom of their first great sorrow. From it will grow more beautiful love and d greater happiness when time has healed the fearful pain.
