and Duluth mill requirements Tor
eight months and the carry over at
the end of the year, must be supplied.
The spring wheat crop of Mime
sofa, the two Dakotas, and Montana,
was placed by the government at
279 100000 bushels and by Mr.. Snow
at 2s5,00o.000 bushels.
This statement attracted the at
tention of tho larger spectators, and
there was good buying not only by
shorts. but an investment demand OF
considerable prominence sprung up,
This buying changed sentiment from
that of a decidedly bearish feeling to
the opposite, or bullish side OF the
market. According to this report OF
MIR. Shaw the United insofar as the
spring wheat crop Is concerned, IL
now down to a domestic basis. The
entire world knows that the crop oil
wheat raised In the Southwest has
been pretty we'll marketed, although
the receipts from day to day con-
tinue Of fairly liberal proportions.
While the corn market was dull
and uninteresting It showed consid-
cradle stubornness, and the Increased
offerings were pretty well absored
by shorts.
The movement Of oats to primary
markets was q little larger than
year ago, but in the face OF this there
was a higher market for samples
Cash sales were 21b,oo bushels, and
there was an improved business In the
May future.
Wheat closed with gains OF IA q
1-2 cent, while corn was Off Is q Ia
cent, and oats were unchanged to LIS
Gf-4 cent higher.

NEW YORK COTTON.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE cot
ton market is a quandary. Traders
are placing themselves in a safe po-
sition, and that is why, while every
thing favored higher prices today.
there were many willing to accept
profits and to take chances against
the market going higher. Thirteen
cents per pound in December, with
10000 600 bales Of cotton in the yisi-
BILE supply, and practically 5000, 900
more to come from the crop, looks
like full value, and in these Christ
mas days, when everybody is adver-
Using full value. there may be skep-
tics, and there ought to be. There is
such q thing as Christmas cotton
which comes from the farms to make
provision for the holidays, and which
means an increased farm movement,
but in addition to this the high
prices which have recently been rul-
ing forced n position which specula 5
tors seem to shrink ffpm.
This does not mean that the great
king cotton is going to let go his hold
of the worlds markets. but 1t may
mean that he Is willing to relent for
while, In order to allow accutnula-
ton against deficient supply later
on. Today's market reflected none
Of these ultimate conclusions, but 1t
seemed to show conclusively that
thirteen cents per pound was the re-
sisting point and that speculation
would be required to carry the mar
| ket higher.
AT the opening the market was
/ from four to seven points higher, and
| very near the highest levels of the
| recent past were secured. This seem,
to be enough to invite selling pressur.

cIDES TO LOOK INTO STATE
OF AFFAIRS THERE.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.--Agents of
the department of justice have been
designated to look into allegations
heretofore printed. and which are the
subject OF investigation by naval
board Of inquiry at Norfolk, that
stewards Of the navy department have
been guilty of graft in connection

These agents are to assist the in
spectors of the navy department. who
have been working on the case for
some months. w. w. Dickey, COM
missary steward OF the Kansas. was
convicted by court martial yesterday
at Norfolk and another steward. d. w.
Davis, of the Louisiana, is now on

mating other stewards. The news from,
Norfolk is that the board OF inquiry
proposes to extend the Investigation
so that a report be expected from
most OF the ships.

hesitation in a market sometimes

HOME OF Mr.. Jones
BURNED YESTERDAY
Little Insurance on Goods,
None on House

The residence of Mr. George D.
Jones at DeSoto, was destroyed by
fire at l o'clock Monday morning, to-
gether with all contents of furniture
and household effects belonging to the
family of Mr. George P. Brown, who
leased the home during the stay of
Mr. and Mrs. Jones in Americas.
With such rapidity did the flames
spread that Mr.. Brown and family
bare'y escaped with their lives, and
were unable to save any of their eff
fects. 1t is not known how the fire
orig mated, whether by accident or the
work of an incendiary. 1t was a
five-room dwelling, and
MIR. Brown had some in
surance upon his furniture, but not
sufficient to cover the loss.
The total loss of dwelling and con-
tents is probably $500 or $4,000.
