FREIGHT RATE ADVANCE

John F. Harris Of New York wires ]. C.
Wilson G. Co as follows: II believe the
freight rate advance win be granted. If not.
for the first time In the history of this govern
ment, II win conhscate property. Every ma
tion and every individual at frequent or infre-
quent intervals are confronted by questions
which they must solve intelligently or perish.
feel that it is cowardly, almost silly, to be-
lieve the freight rate advance will not be
granted; that the currency bill. IL it unduly
curtails credits or unduly enfarges Them win
not be amended; and, in short. 1t is cowardly
to believe that the affairs of the country will
not continue TO be intelligently administered.
The generations that have passed away un-
dauntingly regarded and solved more serious
problems than the ones that now perplex and
dlsmay some part of the people. The present
condition. as Prouty has said. took years to
evolve, and a complete, radical and sufficient
change will not be brought about Immediately.
But / certainly believe that we are moving In
the right direction Up TO the present time
the movement Of rates has been. since the first
train was operated IN the United States, in
one way, namely. downward. That has ceased.
and the movement begun in the opposite direc-
tion.

GOSSIP OF WHEAT TRADE

CHICAGO Dec. le.-It was the gossip of
the wheat trade last night that many local
longs had sold out. heavy sales being
made In the last hour by commission houses.
which have been sellers for two days. A
few of the professionals who sold short early
said that they had covered on the break at
the last as they mad good profits. They were
disposed to take bearish view OF the mar
ket on the belief that there is great scarei-
ty of wheat anywhere and that commercial
conditions throughout the country We're not
such as TO make bull markets. While they
believe wheat worth present values. the mar
ket. they claimed. has been buled for two
weeks and prices are down to the same prices
as when they started. Bears said the bull
side became rather stale for the time being,
and they looked for further drop and saw
nothing to buy IL at present.
Corn bulls said after the close that the mar
ket has had all the decline Il entitled to.
especially a good percentage of the selling
came from shorts.

GRAIN CROP OUTLOOK

The Modern Miller says: More seasonable
weather prevails in the winter wheat belt but
there Is still an almost entire absence of snow
protection and the weather has not been cold
enough to check the rank growth of the plant
which has been the cause of complaint. In
some sections it is claimed the rank growth Is
matted about the roots sufficiently to take the
place of snow a protection TO the plant. and
over the entire region the plant Is so vigorous
that the cold will have to be both sudden and
severe to do serious damage. The green bug is
spreading rapidly in parts of Texas as to
cause the agricultural department Of that state
anxiety. and complaints of the presence of the
Hessian fly continue from many sections The
plant. however, appears to be In nearly per-
feet condition and the acreage Is unusually
large -

UNION OIL PASSES
JANUARY DIVIDEND
loo Much Prosperity" Given
! as the Cause by Presi-
II dent Lyman

The January dividend of the Union
oil company will be passed, and no
dividend viii be paid until July. 1914.
at which time dividends will be re-
sumed on a minimum basis of 1 per
cent per annum. This announcement
was made by Lyman Stewart. presi-
dent of the Union Oil company OF
California. TO the stockholders, fol-
lowing meeting of the board OF di-
rectors in Los Angeles yesterday.
II has been anticipated with the
greatest of interest by the many
stockholders in California since July
/ last, on which date the last quar-
terly dividend was paid. The ex-
planation given in the open letter to
the stockholders is too much pros
perlty, which, 1t is argued, with no
consequent increase of capital stock,
mas necessftated the expenditure Of
large amounts in fixed investments.
