GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO. December IS. - Wheat,
prices today showed an unusual degree
of steadiness. A hardening tendency
manifested at first was in sympathy
with higher cables, but the effect soon
wore off, as the main influence across
the Atlantic was the oullish govern

Favorable reports on field conditions
in the domestic belt gave some ad-
vantage later to the bears.
After opening " Off to " up. the
market declined moderately all around,
and then held at the same as last
night to Y below.
Cold weather demand from feeders
put little firmness into corn. Be
sides, rural offerings were light. The
opening, which varied from V decline
to v advance. was followed by prices
all around slightly above yesterdays
close.
oats averaged slightly flrmer with
corn. Trade was chiefly between pit
spectators.

Thinks Literacy Test Unfair.

Although President Wilson frankly
told inquirers yesterday that he did not
believe the literacy test for aliens in
the immigration bill was fair test
for men and women who wish to come
to this country. no disposition to amend
the measure has been made imminent
in the Senate, which continued con-
sideration of committee amendments.
The Senate bill, changed slightly from
the measure which passed the House,
retains the literacy test upon which
the President commented and which
prompted former President Taft to
veto an immigration bill just before
the close of his term.
Although the President stated that he
had not made up his mind what he
would do should the bill pass with the
literacy test, it seems probable that
he will be confronted with the lfteracy
problem as it is almost certain to
pass the Senate with that clause I'M
changed.

UTILITIES COMMISSION
REFUSES ITS SANCTION
Not to Allow Acceptance Of Bids
for Gas Bonds Around 1001a,
It Is Reported.
Sales of About $40, 900 Made at
1O3 and Better-New York
Stocks Slow.
BY I. A. FLEMING.

Bids were received by the Washing
ton Gas Company for more than the
entire issue of 100000 per cent
bonds. for which tenders were received
yesterday.
The utility commission. supervising
the sale of the issue which 1t had au-
thorized. is said to have refused to
sanction the sale of round lots for
S450.00O, of which bids had been made
by Hambleton & Co. of Baltimore
around 10o5l to 1O054, and little
better by a Philadelphia bond house, or
any bids under 1913, claiming that
the price was not satisfactory.
1t did not permit the acceptance of
bids for about $145,000 of the bonds in
lots at a price averaging around 1903,
and some above. by local bidders. High
bids for small lots ranged from 103 to
104.
1t is probable that bids will again
be advertised for and that local in
vestors may increase their purchases,
especially II the sale is delayed after
the first of the year, when the jan
uary disbursements will make for
easier financial conditions.
That the rejected bids were below
market value is evidenced by bids
for small lots of the bonds and the
actual sales on the local exchange at
1881. this afternoon.
