the appearance OF the visible supply
statement, Showing an increase of over
5000. 300 bushels, resulted in a rnoder-
ate decline. Closing prices. however,
are 4 10 q higher than Saturday. The
gain Is due TO the fact thai export

oats-Local traders became TOO en-

the run Of hogs is not heavy, prices
gradually work lower and this has
been an important influence in weak

Mr.. Driscoll said that the northwest

cutting down and diverting OF the use
of this fund TO other high schools would
work an injustice to all the schools. He
said that the educators in all cities ia

asserted that none OF the school organi-

favor of a division of the appropriation.
A resolution was passed by the asso-

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-CIarence H.
Mackay, president of the Postal Tele-

day a published telegram which Belvi-
dere Brooks, general manager of the
western Union Telegraph Company,
sent to all Western Union offices few
days ago in reference to future rela-
tions between that company and the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company. The telegram read:
There is no reason that we can See,
why such plant and traffic relations as
have proved beneficial should not be

Mr.. Mackay was asked whether mis-
attention had been called to it. He said:
IF that means joint Bell Telephone

the fight again. Joint offices are worse
than JOINT stock, and yet they now ad-
nit that joint stock is Illegal. For four
years we have had reports of thousands
