Newport News. Jan. s1.-Nhen the ola Dorninion Liner Monroe, which went down to the boStona Of the sea yesterday after she had been ramn1ed by the bow of the Merchants & Min ers' steamer Nantucket, went to sea Ii years ago it was 1ound that she carried too much weight on her upper deck to be thoroughly seaworthy and within siK months after she was coTn- pdeted she was returned to fhe local shipyard to have all rhe weight pos sfbIe taken from her superHtructure.
 To that end 6 large observation room was removed from ner hurricane deck and several matches were taken off the forecast1e, her main mast was removed, her sEnokestack shortened 10 feet and her foremaet cut down, leav- ing her with a single stick
 This relieved in g measure the un- usual roll of the ship in q sea, balt be- cause of her great frceboard the roll could not Joe reduced to what is re- garded as normal However, she was considered seaworthy in every respect and had weathered many gales.

 Carelessly Accomplished A
 His Death, Coroner Says

winsted, Jan. s1-se1f-careleesnes was a contributing factor in the death of Albert o. Anderson, of New Milford, a telephone lineman who fell from a police in Torringford street, January 2I. and was killed, according to the finding of Coroner Herman today. The official points out that 1t did not require experience to recognize that tho lineman's act in remaining on top Of the pole after wires hold ing the cross arm in place had been removed was fraugi1t with danger. His position was hazardous and to have remained there was an act of carelessn6ss in itself.
 The coroner finds that no person or Eemploye was crixninally responsible for the death of Anderson.

Chicago, 1nter-Ocean says: 1t was
the gossip among corn traders last
night that values will have to drop
below an importing basis and stay
there before there is any permanent
good on the buying side. Others said
values must go to an export basis In
stead. Opinions on wheat were mix
ed. Cash sales of wheat $4,000
bushels, including 100000 bushels
hard to exporters. Corn $4,000 BUSH
els, oats 100000 bushels.
Chicago Tribune says: The demand
for cash corn yesterday was small.
Little increase is anticipated in the
movement for some time as country
holders are not disposed to sell. Prize
everywhere were lower. Cash wheat
was only in fair demand.
Chicago-The domestic situation is
heavy and we are deceiving ourselves
into the belief that our wheat is es-
sential to Europe and the United
kingdom. Corn-Liquidation is .x-
pected to continue again this morn
ing. The cash outlook Is improved
locally and receipts are expected to
drop off sharply.
acknowledgement rains are
beneficial to corn but against the
of wheat. Arrivals from
the country very small and holders
still maintain firm attitude. Crop
accounts are disappointing. Corn
