duence final trading showed net gain

shade to bc decline. oats closing the same

kota not only drove short sellers of wheat

also said 10 he affected by lack of suf-
fcient moisture. Dispatches from sixty
vest OF the Jim river. were interpreted
as meaning a wheat condition Of not
more than T5 per cent. The resultant
upturn in the market here came as a sur
prise in contrast with earlier weakness
due largely to the generally favorable
outlook in the spring wheat belt as
whole. A reduction in the price of flour
the pears. Profit taking made the close
easy. During the session July ranged
from s6Ec TO SSsc with the last sales &c
up at SSmSSic.
Prospects OF rain in the leading corn
states led to heavy selling. Strength OF
other grains though helped bring about
some recovery. July fuctuated between

yellow finished at 54T54dc.
Excited buying OF oats was caused
through bad crop reports Outside limits
reached by the July option were 373637sc

3S9c.
In view of the fact that packers were
buying hogs on n liberal scale. provisions

CHAMP CLARK IN
 OKLAHOMA CITY States Tariff Revision Will Overshadow All Other N
 Issues in Campaign

Oklahoma City, December 2S.-Tar- fir revision will overshadow all other issues in the coming presidential cam paign, according to Champ Clark, speak CT of the National House of Representa- tives in an address here tonight Mir. Clark is endeavoring to learn the prefer ence of Oklahomaians in a candidate for president on the democratic ticket.
 He reiterated his former declaration that President Taft will be the last stand pat president. He again said the faii- ure of the republican party to make good it's campaign pledges has caused a silent political revolution throughout the coun- try, that the democratic congress had faithfully carried out the promises of the democrats who now present united front in the political world.
 Rumors have been circulated in Okla ,homa for several days that Afr. ClarR would formally announce his candidacy at a Jackson day banquet at Tulsa Sat urday night. 'rhe report is foolish said MT. Clark.

Democrats Contemplate Presenting to House Revised Chemical Sched- ule and Sugar Tariff Bill and
 May Submit Cotton

Washington. December 2S.-Revison of the iron and steel schedule will be the first thing on the tariff legislative pro- gram of the House after Congress con venes next week.
 Representative Underwood, chairman of the ways and means committee. made 1t known today after his return from a holiday trip that the committee would postpone consideration of the wool sched- ule until every feature of the tariff boards report on the subject Las heen thoroughly studied. In the meantime it will press it's work on other tariff mat ters, with a view to adjournment in time for the nominating conventions.
 Following the introduction and consid- eration of the steel schedule, the demo- cratic leaders contemplate presenting to the House revised chemical schedule and sugar tariff bill It is also possi- ble that a cotton schedule will be sub- mitted with the wool bill dependent, of course, upon the report of the tariff board This is expected late next month. If cotton is not included in the wool bill, it will be sent as soon afterward as possible.
 Determination of the House democratic leaders to delay the wool bill is calcu- lated to have an effect upon the purpose of the republican members of the ways and means committee who are drafting wool schedule based upon the tariff boards report. They are hastening, with the cooperation of the White House, 10 complete this bill and to urge il upon the floor of the House. If the democratic bill is not submitted soon after the holi- days it is probable that the republican, bill will be withheld.

OPINIONS OF OPERATORS

The Age-Herald last night sought ex- pressions of opinion from the prominent coal operators of Birmingham on the state convict contract which Governor O'Neal is now Investigating.
 Most of the. operators approached hesi- tated to give opinions, because of un- familiarity with the terms of the con tract
 They pointed out that some seams could be worked more economically than others and that it would be necessary to know all of the terms and conditions at the Banner seam to give an intelligent view on whether the state could profitably de- liver coal to the Pratt company for 65 cents a ton. Here are few of the ex- pressions secured

 T have 'not seen the contract made i,s the state of Alabama, for mining coal with its convicts., Therefore. I cannot give an intelligent opinion as to the ner- it's of the contract But if the price the state is 60 receive for it's coal is as stated in the press namely, 65 cents per ton f. o. b. cars for washed coal, I think it would be we'll for the state to remain out of the coal mining business and hire It's eonvicts as heretofore I believe the lat ter plan would result much better for the state
