GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO. December 80. Wheat
traders were seemingly disposed to
mark time today, attention being chief
ly given to the steadiness of prices
at Liverpool. The recent advance Of
12 to IA cents bushel induced eau
ton among the bulls. On the other
hand the continuance of expert demand
had an intimidating effect on the
bears. After opening 4 of to haA
up, quotations hardened a little, and
then underwent a moderate sag below
last nights level all around.
Business in corn was almost entirely
local. AS a result most of the pit
operators inclined to the selling side.
The opening, which varied from u de-
cline to a shade advance. was followed
by a general decline, but not to
radical extent.
Prospect of export sales upheld oats.
There was also a good domestic cash
demand.

Declares Method Is Cheaper.

Not only has it the right to make sale
of the securities, says the bank. but its
method is cheaper and hence of ad-
vantage to any claim the creditors of
the bankrupts may have. If trustee
in bankruptcy should be allowed to
make the sale, it is pointed out, he
would be entitled to commission on
the entire proceeds. and such deduction
might not only wipe out an excess of
proceeds. but might cause the bank to
lose on its loan.
Court Discharges Rule.
Justice Mccoy after hearing dis
charged the rule issued against the
bank and denied the application to en-
join the sale Of the securities adver-
tised for tomorrow.

Reports of all committees of the
Commercial club were made at a
board OF directors meeting last night.
The public service committee proba-

Guest House Workers Meet
Monday to Outline Plans
For Future Action on the
Project.
GIRLS IN FACTORIES
DONATE LITERALLY
Committee Meets Late Today
to Ca nvass Collections
Made Yesterday By So
licitOrs.

Promoters of the Richmond Guest
House movement today announced
that the five days campaign to raise
$4,000 to secure the $4,000 condition
al offer of Mrs. Mary T. r. Foulke
would not be successful despite the
vigorous efforts of large number Of
enthusiastic women solicitors. but,
they added, this did not mean they
were in the least bit discouraged.
Monday night there will be a meet
ing of the Guest House board of di-
rectors to discuss future policies and
it is almost certain that decision will
be reached to renew the campaign for
contributions at some later date. The
promoters have until the first of next
year to raise the fund required to Sc
cure Mrs. Foulke's pledge.
That the working girls of the city
are in thorough sympathy with the
movement to secure an institution de-
voted to their interests was shown by
the liberality of their contributions to
funds raised for the Guest House at
several local factories which depend
Tor the most part on woman workers.
Girls Are Liberal.
Out Of their modest wages the girls
working at the Richmond Underwear
factory voluntarily subscribed $102,
and were assisted by nearly all the
men employees. This company itself
was a generous subscriber to the fund,
knowing how beneficial such an insti-
tuition would be to many of its en-
ployes.
A voluntary donation Of $39 was
made by the women employees of the
Beebe glove factory. The girls en-
ployed at the Indianapolis Glove COM
pany's factory raised $3.50 and the
girls employed at the Adam H. Bar
tel companys factory contributed
s673O.
This made a total of $2s1.S0 re-
ceived today from the working girls
as their financial encouragement to
the movement Of course the move
ment has had their whole-hearted NOR
al encouragement from the first.
The executive committee in charge
Of the campaign for contributions will
hold a meeting late this afternoon and
until that time it will not be known
just how much the campaigners lacked
of securing the desired $4,000 in their
five days of activity.
Friday evening $1,000 of the de
sired $4,000 had been pledged. so it
would have been necessary to raise
$4,000 today, the last day of the cam
paign period. Reports received by the
! executive committee members at noon
indicated that this amount could not
be raised today.

The clergy Of New York are con-
siderably agitated over the movement
started by Frank Tannenbaum, 20
year-old 1. w. w. leader, who nightly
leads procession of unemployed and
homeless men to the various churches
Of lower Manhattan, demanding that
the rectors throw open the doors Of
their edifices so that his unfortunate
followers may have shelter from the
col dan dstorm during the night. Some
of the churches have acquiesced to the
demands of the youthful leader, even
serving breakfast to as many as could
crowd in the buildings. William H.
Haywood, foremost among the l. W. w.
leaders has declared that Tannebaum S
movement will soon assume nation
wide proportions for the purpose Of
compelling every church in the coun-
try to offer shelter to the homeless
during bad weather.
