Features of the Trading and Closing
Prices q nBOSrd of Trade,

CHICAGO, Dec. 15.-Government fig
ures today on the wheat yield of 1914 in
the United States fell about 1900, OO0
bushels under the expected total, and
caused the market to rally in a decided
manner. Quotations closed steady at &c
to TIC net advance. Other speculative
articles made gains as well-corn, sc to
hq&c, oats, llqIRc, and provisions, 106l
12Izc to 25c.
According to private crop experts, 9lO,-
100000 bushels was about what the final
report from Washington would show az
the aggregate of domestic spring and
winter wheat produced this season.
Considerable of furry developed as
result when the official announcement
was posted giving the amount roundly as
SSl 100000 bushels, Except for a small up
turn early owing in the main to strength
at Liverpool, the market here had been
tending downward under short selling,
based largely on belief that the govern
ment report would favor the bears. The
ensuing advance, however, continued
right up to the close of the session.
Export houses became good buyers
after the wheat market began to rise in
earnest. 1t was said the harvest condi-
lions were less favorable in Argentina
and that offerings from there TO Europe
were very light. On the other hand the
worlds available supply statement ex-
hibited an increase of as much as $500, 900
bushels.
Buying OF cotton throughout the day
was OF a better class than the selling,
many investment orders being filled dur
ing temporary decline. when wheat was
on the down grade. The smallness OF the
receipts here formed a help to the bulls
Washington figures on the yield of corn
were slightly below what had been looked
Tor Active call from the seaboard put
firmness into oats. The government re-
port as to oats turned out just as ex-
pected.
Broadening demand for provisions was
generally conceded to exist. the natural
effect of belOw-zero weather Offerings
were so scarce that shorts rushed to
cover.

TWO POKER HANDS

One of the passengers in the smoker of sleeping car out of Chicago related with much gusto an encounter which he recently had with a desperate Western man, the weapons being cards. The game was poker, the special occasion was that old familiar 'bg jack pot" which so often figures in proiane history, and the two principals were armed with straight Hushes. It was a S1 limit game" remarked the young man, land we bet sixty-seven times and then l called him He had sequence flush queen high, and 1 had one king high. You should have heard him swear"
 An old man sat listening with great at tention to the story and at its conclusion he exclaimed with much candid astonish- ment:
 You call him.'
 The young man blushed and acknowl- edged his guilt.
 "WelI, we'll" said the old man, shaking his head, "these times is suttinly not what they used tubbe You see, 1 cum from Tennessee, and we ain't up to this way CT doin things.

AMERICANS IN MEXICO
 WHO DON'T DARE TO FLEE

Mexico City, Feb. 25.-IIere is the plank which American citizens fleeing from Mex ico must sign before they receive assistance from American consuls:
 'T declare that am an American citizen, l q refugee on the steamer ........... from my home in Mexico, and that at the pres ent time l have with me s.. and that the American consul at this place has fur nished me with $. and with ticket trans nortatiOn from ............ tO............., which cost s., from funds placed with him by the department of state ot the United States to defray the cost ot my transportatin to...,.......', or as tenn porary relief while in Mexico. My reason for leaving Mexico is.............. am employed by.............. l am unable at the present time to secure funds from relatives or friends This statement IS made to secure relief"
 But there are two sides to this refugeclng business. There was a time, 1t will be re membered, when the United States had no extradtion laws with Mexico, and the American fleeing from justice in his home land rushed into Mexico. There are some of him here yet It may prove warm for him here, he knows; but it will probably prove warmer for him back home So he remains You cant tell this sort of a "staver," as Americans who won't go home are called, from the "stayer" who is stick ing by his business simply because it IS rule Of his life that he won't run from any thing. Some of these stayers are success ful business men; others of them are hang CTS on in the various sporting establish ments in Mexican cities. The "stayers' of this latter type took instant and insisJent advantage of the offer of Uncle sam to give them money and tickets to go home, They were the first to rush to the consular tickets and spent Uncle sans money in the cantinas and gambling houses of Mex ico. Some of them had the nerve to go Lack to certain consuls a second time eX- planning that they had been taken i'll and been forced to dispose of their tickets and money. It is safe to say that no American has been able to "graft' a second ticket home.
 Up in Chihuahua in the very heart of the rebel district where federals rule one day and the rebels the next, and where every change means a corpse -strewn street, there lives an American who hasn't moved and won't move His consort is Mexican girl, ani they have three children who are famous throughout the mining district fer their beauty.
 T can't go back" he explained to the last little knot of Americans to leave. But we'll stand all the expenses of moving your .anly," they offered Thank you, very much" he said I'm afraid I'll have to stay here and see t out"
 He is d Harvard man, the refugee miners y: more than that, and the fact that be is fine, strong man, with some mistake in his past, they know nothing. In Mex leo in these days you don't ask about a mans past. Why man is a 'stayer" i, his own business

GAUGE OF THE DELAY

Chairman William c. Houston of the house committee on territories was asked why there had been so much delay in pre- pairing the conference report on the Alaska bill The bill had been before the com mittee nearly two weeks
 Well, that committee is a good deal like a camp meeting which was described by an old negro on our plantation in Ten nessee before the war, said MT Houston. This old servant had gone off Saturday night and had come home ogIe-eyed and sDiflicated with drink The horses hadn't been fed and the calves hadn't had any milk, so my father was very angry.
 "'Why do you insist upon being so con foundedIy no account? demanded my father Why don't you go down to the camp meeting like the others, instead of getting drunk?'
 Huh dat camp meeting don't get any where,' replied the old servant. What do they all do at a camp meetin'? All they do is to arguefy, inagree and condis- pute to no necessity
 And that is about what we've been doing in that committee" added Judge Houston Washington correspondence of Seattle Post -Intelligencer.
