JULY FOURTH IN
THE PHILIPPINES
Democrats Plan to Give FiIIpinos
Limited Independence on
July 4, 1918.

ri nited Press Leased Wire seryice.l
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-Uncle
Sans independence day-will also be
that of his little brown brothers" the
Filipinos, it was learned today, If
plans Of leading democrats do not go
awry.
To give the Filipinos limited indie
pendence on July 4, 1918, Is planned
if a special session of congress
is held next spring.
Chairman Henry of the house rules
committee, stated today that one OF
the very first measures to go before
the house this winter, with every
prospect of passage, was the Philip
nine independence bill This meas
ure, drafted by Chairman Jones,
(democrat), OF the house insular af-
fairs committee, is now on the calen-
da..
"Yet the rules committee has given
a written pledge to Representative
Jones to call up the bill under a
special privileged rule, early in De
'cember,' said Henry today. Il be-
lieve it will pass the house"
The senate was stated to be the
stumbling block in the path of imme-
date enactment of the law. It's sup
porters fear that the republican ma.
jority In the senate will prevent its
passage during the short session OF
congress, ending March 4.
The Jones bill provides for an 'as-
sembly" of Filipinos, to be elected by
popular vote. It also prescribed
time and methods for holding subse
uuent general elections to the assem-
bly,, in case the Filipinos are found
capable of self-government. Ultimate
withdrawal of all American supervi
sion of the Filipino government is al
so provided.
Manuel Quezon, delegate in con
gress from the Philippines, is leading
| the fight for the Jones bill. He pro
poses to bring several prominent
lccuntrymen to Washington to en-
dorse the independence bill.

After the middle of the fore noon the demand from shorts increased and on scan.y supply of contracts prices did somewhat better. although the trade was not strong at any period.

WHEAT DEALINGS OF
 LIMITED CHARACTER
Lower Cables Give Trade an Easy Tone-Visible Sup
 ply Decreased

Chicago, December 2S.-Dealings in the wheat and provisions pits was of a linn ited holiday character at the opening today Wheat opened unchanged to lsc off Other grains were off. Provisions were influenced by limited run from hogs and was from unchanged to 5c high CT May wheat started at 9l49lisc, touched eo7se and recovered to 91lse. May corn opened unchanged to 1-16c off at ASA. G4ss. a4s7sc and sold to 4sssQ4ss.e. May oats started lsc down at S3isc with little trade. May pork opened DC up at 1s.l2i2c; May lard. 2lanc; improved at s9.eoa9.921a and May ribs at 1875.
 Lower cables gave the wheat trade an easy tone, particularly as a liberal in crease in the domestic visible was ex- pected as an adjunct. Trade for a time was of a sealping nature. With the re- port that the visible had decreased s4,- 900 bushels. the covering orders of shorts were reinforced by purchases from other quarters, particularly the southwest. The demand from the latter source was said to be influenced also by a good milling demand. May sold between 9O5sd92e, clos ing 7sc higher at e17sG92c Spot wheat was in a fair demand. Tn the corn mar ket the first hours of trading developed an easy tone on the fine weather, but the bulge in wheat prices advanced and closed at the top. Cash lots were gen orally little down. The car shortage in Illinois and Iowa Is restricting the movement. May ranged between 4sss@4S34 Q49e, closing lsahe higher at 49c? Though there was a fair demand for oats for future delivery and despite the strength of corn and wheat, oats closed with a slight net loss on the transactions of the day. One half cent drop in the spots seemed to have influenced considerable domestic selling of futures. May sold be- tween S3Is and 33i4c. closing a shade down at 33lsQ3i4c. The run of hogs here fell 10000 head below expectations The con sequent advance at the yards caused higher levels in the provisions corner Pork for May closed 121sc higher at slS.2o: May lard. 7Ikql0c up at se.971sa1G and May ribs improved at s9.77ikal9.s0

COTTON MARKET
 GENERALLY QUIET
Fluctuations Irregular With Close Steady at 1 to s
 Points Advance

New York, December 23-The eotten market was generally quiet today and fluctuations were irregular with the close steady at a net advance of to points. Both American and foreign markets Will pc closed on Christmas day and the Thurs day following, and evening up for over the holidays was supposed to constitute a large part of the days business.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to F points in sympathy with higher Liverpool cables than expected and reports of a continued good continent tai demand in the English market. Re alizing or scattering liquidation was quite active around the opening figures and the market soon turned easier with prices selling about to points net lower late in the forenoon. Trade buying and GOV ering of shorts checked the decline around this level and prices rallied rather sharply during the afternoon on Bullish spot ad- vices and a furry of local shorts.
 The close was within point or two of the best and from to points net higher on most of the active months. II was reported during the day that several southern spot firms were negotiating with view of taking up cotton here in Janu- ary contracts owing to the scarcity oi lower grades in the south, and it was also rumored that one of the larger owners of spot cotton in New York who had sold several hundred bales of low grade cotton late last week. was now trying to buy back the cotton at a mod crate advance.
 The posting of storm signals along the gulf coast attracted comparatively little attention although there was some talk that the disturbance might interfere with the movement buying the balance of the week.

MARKET SEEMS ON
 UNCERTAIN KEEL
Irregular Fluctuations 1T StOcks-Trading Dull
 and Professional

New York, December 23.-Irregular fluc- tuations of stocks tocay indicated that the market was still on an uncertain keel. At times prices moved with a rap idity disproportionate to the amount Of trading that rendered spectators dizy, shifting in way with no well defined current of speculative rest AS whole the trend was toward lower level ana at the end of the session a large part oi the leading issues had fallen point or over. Trading was dull and professional Uncertainty whether the supreme court would announce it's decision in the Min resota rate case during the session re- sricted trading in the forenoon and the bear element took advantage of the sit uation to bring about a depression.
 With the announcement at noon that no decision would be announced thera came a sharp upward movement, during which Union Pacific rose points above the last quotation on Saturday.
 The gains were quickly lost and during tho remainder Of the session the tenden- cy was downward.
 Call money rates rose to per cent mte in the session, which may have been factor in the heaviness of the trading. With the easing of the strain in Europe. apprehension is felt as to the monetary conditions at the end of the year. all though money rates will be watched closely near the end of December and May constitute & more important infiu- ence. Germany, whose needs are most urgent at this season of the year, suc- ceeded in obtaining more than half of the offerings of the week of South African gold in London. Baltimore and Ohio, the first of the large railroad systems to make its November report, showed a further gain in revenue.
 Bonds moved iregularly, but huctua- tions were unusually limited. Par sales total Sl,263, 900. Bonds of the United States were on call unchanged.
