Specialties Make Gains.

Speculative interest was diverted to the
specialties owing to the continued slug
sisbness OF the standard stocks. 1mpor-
tant gains were made by number OF
speciaIties. but the market as whole,
after overcoming a tendency toward
heayiness early i'm the day, was firm and
dHiet through the morning. Trading con-
tinued to be on small scale. with an
absence of aggressive tactics by opera
tors on either side of the market
The undertone of the market grew bet
ter in the second hour, some of the lead
ing floor operators bidding up the repre-
sentative stocks in sympathy with the
nlanp ula ton of various Specialties. Buy

stricted character. and the demand soor
waned. Among the specia1ties National

CHICAGO.

CHICAGO. ILL.,, December 27.-Incessant
rains in the Argentine and additional
reports of crop damage in that country
gave the price of wheat an upward swing.
Black rust was alleged to have developed
in the south. One authority at Buenos
Aires declared the prospect was now for
only an average yield. and accordingly
had reduced a previous estimate of 1j,-
100000 bushels. Furthermore, Liverpool
dispatches said that offerings from South
America were becoming scarce, and that
British quotations were bullishly affected

END OF PROTECTION
New Bill introduced in Leg
islature Gives Kenosha Co.
Farmers Rights to Hunt
NO LICENSE TO Be REQUIRED

Kenosha county farmers are going
to have new arrangement Of the game
laws if a bill proposed in the legisla-
ture by Assemblyman Monson becomes
law. The new bill was introduced
on Friday and it singles out Kenosha
county as one of dozen counties in
the state in which the protection of
rabbits, grey fox and black squirrels
is to be removed. For years this class
of game has not been protected III Ken
osha county but the new bill goes far
he, In that it removes all restrictions
from the farmers in hunting this class
of game. Under the law it will not be
necessary for farmers to secure icens-
es to hunt on their own lands and in
addition to this they will have the
right to extend this privilege Of unli-
censed hunting to the members of their
families whether they are residents Of
Wisconsin or not The law will also
give them the right to hunt, on their
own lands with ferrets or with traps
or to take any plan they may desire
to trap these classes of game. 1t al
so gives the same rights to tenants
of farms
The bill will probably meet with
support among the farm owners Of the
county as many of them are now forced
to take out hunting licenses before
they can shoot animals which are pos
tive nuisance to them. Some of the
hunters of the county will oppose the
law on account Of the fact that it
throws down the bars and leaves no
protection whatever for this sort of
game.

Foes of Tuberculin Test Put
Petitions in Circulation in
All Towns of County
WILL BQMBARD LEGISLATURE

A county wide bombardment of the
Wisconsin legislature to secure the re-
peal of the law providing for the tu-
berculin test was started this morning
when attorney John c. Slater of Ken
osha acting for the Wisconsin Dairy
men S association sent petitions to ev-
cry town in the county to secure uni
versal demand for the repeal of the
law complained of. Earlier in the yeaA
the matter was taken up among the
farmers especially interested in the
milk business and when this was done
it was found that there was a general
sentiments opposed to the continuance
of the law and it was decided to make
the petitions general More than 500
of the men interested in the milk bust
ness have already signed the petitions
and it is now planned to comb the
county as with fine tooth comb to
show the large sentiment against the
law. The petitions have in many cas-
es been placed in the hands of the
town chairmen Of the different towns.
In many of the towns three or four
petitions are being circulated. The
farmers are taking a great interest in
the fight against the law and it is GER
tain that the people of the city will
also join with considerable enthusiasm
in the fight to be made before the leg
islature. It seems certain-that the bill
is doomed as already a half a dozen
bills are ready to demand its repeal.
The Assemblyman and Senator from
this county have both declared them
selves as being in favor of any reason
able bill for the repeal of the tubercu-
lin test law

NEW BILL FOR AUTO LICENSE.
Kenosha Owners of Cars are Asked to
aid in Fight Against Bill.

Kenosha owners of automobiles re-
celved a call to arms this morning from
men prominent in the auto trade in
the state and determined effort is
to be made to prevent the passage of
a bill for the license of automobiles in
the state. The new bill provides that
owners of all cars having more than
20 horse power shall pay an annual
license of five dollars to the state and
for every horse power over 20 the
owner shall pay an added license an
nually of 25 cents. The money secur-
ed from the issue of the licenses would
be placed in fund for the improve
ment of the roads. The bill does not
seem to meet with the approval of any
considerable number of the automobile
owners in Kenosha.
