Young Ellicott, however, got the room
in the regular drawings held annually
by the college, in which the numbers
of ali rooms are placed in a box anC
drawn for by the students. The Wood
row Wilson room is on the second floor
of Witherspoon hall, a gray stone
building erected in 1877 when Wilson
was a junior in college. He roomed
there in 1877 and 1879. On his walks
through the campus in the last few
days, the president-elect has looked
up affectionately at the window of his
old room and pointed it out to those
accompanying him. Il did a lot of
studying in that room,'' he said. The
room overlooks the open country where
the battle of Princeton was fought in
Revolutionary days. Only few hun
dred yards away is Nassau hall, where
the first president of the United States
came to receive the thanks of the Con-
tinental congress for his services in the
Revolution. In another direction, not
far away, is the building of the Ameri-
can Wing society founded by another
Princeton graduate, James Madison
who became president.

Gives a Firm Tone to the Price
of Corn.
Provisions Harden as a Result

1ESnlcago' Nov. s-WHEAT-Fear of COM
PHcatlons between Servia and Austria

Ihe opening was B94c to sc higher.
Decemoer started at S91sc to S914c, a gain
OF &c to sc and rose to $3.50.
reports of keen demand by Minneapolis
mlIIers caused an additional upturn but
nearly all the gain disappeared when
urgent shorts had been supplied. The
close was nervous with December k6D4c
net higher at S96S9kc
CORN-Smallness of receipts made corn
Ilrrn notwithstanding the government re-
port was expected to prove bearish. De-
cember opened unchanged to shade off
al 50Q501sc and advanced to 503sc.
Later however, a sharp decline occur
red as result of local selling due to fine
weather The close was steady with De-
cember &c off at 4914@495sc.

New York Stock Market.

Wall St, New York, Nov. S.-STOCKS-
me reactionary trend of the market yes
terday became more pronounced today
on mixed selling of long and short stocks
bearish sentiment was intensified by
ruInorS OF an extra session of congress-
and cables from abroad suggested further
uneasiness at leading centers; London list
OF prices for American securities was de-
c1ded1y lower. The heaviest issues here
included Louisville and Nashville Cauad-
ian Pacific, Union Pacific, Reading ANAL
gamated and Steel. In fact all stocks of
speculative Importance were under pres
sure. Sugar held its place as weakest of
the specialtieS and Tobaccos fell abruptly
Bonds were easy.
Prices were generally lower at the OPEN
ing of today'S stock market. Canadian
Pacific lost point and Southern Pacific
issues were down materially. The few
slender gains were limited to the unirn-
portant stocks.
Fractional recoveries caused renewed
selling by the professional element and
some of the principal issues went lower
than at the outset. Marked weakness was
shown by Canadian Pacific, Louisville
and Nashville, Steel and Beet Sugar
Dizziness prevailed at midday and the
market rallied slightly. The representa-
tive of the Copper producers, showing a
large gain in supplies for October was
without market effect on these metal
issues.
The closing was irregular The market
made further recovery in the final hour,
higher money being partly offset by the
favorable crop report which was especial
~ beneficial to the grangers.
