BRYAN gives it out that he in
tends devoting all his time from
now until the nomination to find
ing out things about the demo-
cratic candidates for president,
that he may make up his mind
which one to support. At the
the close you will likely find that
he will be an ardent supporter of
William Jennings Bryan-and
democratic hopes will go glimmer-

ATTORNEY BALDWIN.

ATTORNEY BALDWIN, in
arguing the case Of the Two Har-
bors recall, contendcd the charter
provision establishing the recall
was constitutional, setting
forth that inasmuch as the ]egis
Iature itself cannot remove an Of
fetal it cannot grant the power so
to do to the people. The Two
Harbors case will be closely
watched by many Virginians, the
same provision for a recall being
inculcated in the Virginia
charter, and an attempt at making
same effective being now before
the people of one ward in the

Protection Boosts Prices.

The United States is not the
only nation suffering from ex-
cessiye protection, The rigid
protective policy Of Germany
though not nearly so drastic as
that Of the United States, has
so increased the cost of living
as to compel the most severe
economics of the part Of the
wage earners. The families Of
the masses cannot afford the
luxury of meat. Horses, and
even dogs, are killed in large
numbers for consumption as
food.
Wages are not increasing in
Germany, nor are labor condi-
lions being improved. In the
last five years statistical returns
show that, making due allowance
for increse in population, that
employment of females in in
dustrial occupations where male
labor is to that extent supple
mented, has increased over 81
per cent.

that has come over the wires

approved his record as President.

PREPARE TO LAUNCH
 NEW BATTLESHIP

Washington January n.-Preparations have been completed at the yards of the New York Shipbuilding company in Cam den for the launching of the battleship Arkansas next Saturday afternoon. Of ficials of the company said today that any controversy between the navy depart ment and the governor of Arkansas as to the details of the launching would not in- terfere with next Saturdays plan. Ac- cording to these officials the controversy between Governor Donaghey and the Sec retary of war over the date of the launch ing is uncallcd for, as the builder Is the sole judge when a vessel Is to be launched. It was pointed out that when a warship Is ready to be placed in the water the Secretary of the Navy Is noti- fled of the date and he arranges the cere- monies of the affair."

WHEAT GOES HIGHER
 ON WEATHER NEWS
Cold Wave in Northwest is
 Responsible Factor
EXPORT SALES ARE GOOD
Corn Holds Strong On Account of Argentine News and the Close Is Higher--Oats and Provisions
 Also Close Higher

Chicago, January 1f--Wheat today closed at practically the highest point reached on the present upturn Buying for houses supposed to represent leading longs was responsible. A cold wave of much intensity prevails in the north west, and tended to arouse fear for the winter crop. Latest prices showed a net gain of M@1sc. The days trading made corn A@kc dearer, oats Ac, and pro- visions Dc to 2211c.
 Decided strength developed in wheat from the outside. Rain and snow pre- dicted for the southwest had proved in- holding cargoes at firmer figures and that there was a substantial decrease of stocks at Minneapolis. Official announce ment that no extreme cold was probable in states where there was fall sown fields caused some reaction temporarily. Pri- mary receipts, however, were reported as less than half those of a year ago. export sales of 150,O0O bushels were yer flied and there were rumors of much more wheat having been headed for Europe. Furthermore, the milling demand here had improved. Lingering apprehension, too, regarding the cold wave limited the float ing supply of offerings and was not ma terially relieved by a renewed forecast of snow or rain. Throughout the last hour of the session the movement of prices was steadily upward and the close was firm, within hc of the top. May ranged from $1.01M@1.O1A to $1.o2ssc, with last sales at $102N.
 With Argentine news again bad as to the crop outlook there, corn held strong despite heavy hedging. Late cables tell ing of light rains in north Argentina did not greatly affect the market. May fuc- tuated from 5o14c to 50a4c, and closed Ac up at 501a650%c. Cash corn was steady No. yellow finished at 471zd4Sc. Local speculative purchases proved the controll- ing factor in oats. May sold from 347sc to 35Ac, closing firm at 351s@S514c, net gain of Mc.
 Packers bought provisions when there were signs of weakness, ana thus over- came the effect of decline in hogs. In the end pork was Dc to 221hc higher than last night; lard up 5@71ac to 71tiQ10c, and ribs 10@1212c.

 Meat Arrive
THE LAYING SEASON ON

Trading with the merchants of Morris avenue yesterday was normal.
 Shipments of poultry are being heartily accepted, as this Is a time of the year when stocks begin running low on ac- count of few arrivals. This is laying sea- son for poultry, and it is rather difficult to induce farmers to dispose of any of their lot. The price on hens has in- creased from 15 to IS cents per pound. and ! on flyers from 15 cents to 171A cents per pound. Dressed turkeys are selling at 2s and 24 cents.
 Another feature of the day was the ar- rival of three cars of meat. which Is rap- idly going into the hands of the re- taller.
 The most important receipts was the shipment of meat and shipment of eggs.
