WHEAT OPENS EASY
BEARS PREDOMINANT
IN CHICAGO MARKET
Resting Oders Around
$1.2012 for May, With
Demand Through Com
mission Houses Good.

CHICAGO. Nov. 23.-Sentiment In the
wheat market at the opening today was
bearish and the market was easier. The
receipts at spring wheat points were
large There were resting orders in the
market around Sl.2Ol5 for May, and the
demand through commission houses gem
orally was good The market at Liver
pool was easier.
Crop news from Argentina and Liver
pool was favorable 1t is estimated that
the stocks of wheat in the Puniab are
about 1Oi,OOOOOO bushels, or about 100000
bushels over the supply last year at this
time. Millers' stocks in Great Britain are
large, and 1t is expected that the ar
rivals this week will be heavy.
Prospects were for good increase in
the visible supply in the United states.
The receipts at Minneapolis and Duluth
today were 1882 cars. against 1887 cars a
year ago: at Winnipeg. S47 cars, against
1850; at Chicago 17t cars, against 80. EX
ports from the United States may de-
crease in the near future, because Of the
fact that Argentlna's supply will soon
be available
Offerings are being made for January
February shipment, and the bids are suf-
fcienty below United States prices to at
tract business. Shipments from North
America for the week were S,3T7,OoO bush
els, of which 1,13s 600 bushels were from
Canada. The stock at Liverpool Is 4, AS, 900
bushels an increase of $4,000 bushels for
the week
Corn was easier under further selling
pressure of December, which apparently
came from hedgers. The weather con-
tinued favoable for the movement. The
receipts here today were 242 cars. The
stock at Liverpool is 100000 bushels, an
increase of $4,000 bushels for the week
The market at Liverpool was easier, with
Plate offers larger.

today were 140 cars. Shipments of oats
from North America for the week were
2,129,O00 bushels

GENERAL HWANG SAYS LOAN
WILL CAUSE WAR IN CHINA
Revolutionist Counts on U. S. to
Maintain Peace in Far East.

"China and America alone can main
tain peace in Asia. Provisional Presi-
dent Yuan Shl-kai seeks an American
loan so as to become Emperor without
American assistance the dictator must
abdicate and the Chinese revolution of
1911 will become a fact. with money
from America Yuan Shi-lSai will cause
another great uprising in China"
This is the warning and advice of Cen
eral Hwang Hsing, the "liberator OF
China" and general of the revolutionary
army which brought about the overthrow
of the Manchu dynasty. He is now liv-
ing I'm seclusion at Media, with a price
of 100000 on his head.
"ln speaking of peace in Asia" the
general continued, 81 hope YOU will not
think me presumptuous in placing China
and America side by side-a strong ma
ton and weak one. But China is
strong. It needs only a stable Govern
ment, release from its dictator, to
become the bulwark i'm Asia's peace. We
Chinese who have come to this country
find in you a desire for peace and an
antipathy to aggression, a feeling SINH
lar to that of our own people"
General Hwong said Yuan Shi-kai can
get no money from the warning nations
in Europe and that the tide was turning
against him in China. He said the peo-
pie OF China appreciated Americas stand
i'm refusing to be a party to the recent
loan.
Four agents of Yuan Shi-kaI are now in
tlas country trying to negotiate large
loan to aid China's dictator In his
schemes, General Hwang said. Europe
has been thrown into war by a few
ambitious men," he said, land what
fear is that a few ambitious men may
throw Asia into a terrible war"

GOVERNORS FAVOR
CHANGE REOPENING
FOR BOND TRADING
Member of New York Com
mittee Says That Business
May Be Resumed Before
End of Week.

The announcement made by the Special
Committee Of Five OF the New York
Stock Exchange on Saturday that the
offer of resumng trading in bonds at
minimum prices will be taken up by the
Governing Committee at its regular
meeting tomorrow, was supplemented to-
day by the statement that the Governing
Committee favors this action and that
trading I'm bonds may be resumed before
the end of this week.
One of the leading members Of the
Governing Committee Is authority for
this statement. and for the further state
ment that It is intended to extend the
scope Of trading ON the floor gradually.
Next week or the week after other depart
ments will be opened for trading. with
the bond dealings to be accepted as
guide for restrictions in other issues.
Members Of the Governing Committee
insisted today that all the banking in
terests in New York desire the resump-
ton OF trading on the board. and re-
ports that opposition has been met in
that quarter are without foundation.
The reopening OF the Chicago Stock
Exchange was naturally regarded with
intense interest. There were no signs
Of llquidating disposition on the Chi
caso exchange and bids were more plen-
tiful than offers. The volume of busl-
ness was small and included only a few
stocks in which there was more than
local interest.
Sterling exchange was strong, with
more evidence of operations for a specu-
lative element which is supposed to be
buying exchange In anticipation of de-
mand for remittance against sales OF
bonds for foreign account. Demand
opened at 4sSss and cables at 4.S9is.
Reichsmarks went down to the low point
of Sc, while Paris cables were in demand
at 5.i01E, showing a profit on gold ex-
ports to France. but French bankers are
averse to talking about prospects of any
shipments of the metal to France.
The heavy surplus shown by the Federal
banks on Saturday has as yet had no
influence on the money market, and is
not reflected in any increased offering.
Time money for all dates was in free
supply IN New YORK at per cent. and
call money loans generally at 4si per cent.
On the New street curb bid prices are

Steamship officials engaged in the At
lantic-Pacinc business via the Panama
Canal are amazed at the rapid growth Of
the trade. Freights are offered In abun-
dance, insuring a full cargo for every
steamship both on the inward and out
