TODaY'S Market REPORT.

Chicago, Dec. -WHEAT-Advances to-
day in the price of wheat were met by
heavy sales to realize profits. Traders
who last week had been the most active
in the purchasing took the lead today on
the selling side.
Higher quotations at Liverpool and adj
vices that supplies there continued made
quate were largely responsible Tor some
decided upturn i'll values.
At the start the opening from Sc off
to an advance of 2Sc- but setback all
around followed the well below Saturday S
finish.
Rallies, however, ensued, especially in
the May option.
First prices were S1.16 to S1.1S for De-
cember and $1.161a to $11S1. for May.
Later swells In the market lifting prices
to above 81 20 for May were more or less
due to big export clearances and to the
smallness of the increase of the domestic
visible supply. The market showed broad
trades. The close was unsettled. 2aSc TO
3Ac net higher. with December at $1.19H
and May at S1.19ss.
CORN-Corn rose on account of pro-
ductions of unsettled weather. The down
turn in wheat, though, tended to check the
bulls. After opening Us, to 1lac higher
the market lost nearly all of the gains.
Subsequently. bullish crop estimates
gave the market renewed strength. The
close was nervous at 11A@19sc to 11sc net
advance.
OATS Oats swayed with other grain;
On the whole, prices, nevertheless, had
an upward slant.
Observation-Disclosures receipts of hogs
carried down provisions. The arrivals
throughout the west totalled more than
twice as many as on the corresponding

CALL FOR RELIEF
Topeka jewelers. Make Protest
Against Auction Houses.
Appeal to City Officials to Close
Up These Concerns.

The jewellers of Topeka are trying
to build a fire under the concern that
has been auctioning off jewelry in a
building on Kansas avenue for the
last seven days. Five of them, leading
jewelers. themselves, and representing
the rest of the jewelry trade in To-
peka, appeared before the city com
mission at the meeting this morning
to see what could be done to put the
new concern out of business. The
commission doesn't know what can be
done, but City Attorney George Hay
den is digging into the matter.
So far the city has been doing fairly
well with the transient concern. When
its representative first made applica-
ton for a license the city license col
lector understood that it was the stock
of the Howard Jewelry store in North
Topeka that had been moved across
the river to be auctioned. On that un-
Outstanding ne issued a license for six
months for SIS Before the ink was
dry Commissioner WATSON had infor-
nation to the effect that the stock
was being SHIPPED in and auctioned off
and that made some difference He
Immediately recalled the original Ii
cense and fived a charge of $25 a day.
The concern has paid this amount
daily for seven days.
However, the jewellers of Topeka
want the auction stopped c. E. War
DIN, W. j. Lewis, r W. SWearlnSen,
A. s. Thomas and Ralph Peterson ap-
peared before the commission this
this morning and asked that action be
taken. They charged that it is a fake
auction. They told of instances where
the value of jewelry had been misrep-
resented. Mayor House told the visit
tors his position and that was to the
effect that the business man who
transacts business in Topeka twelve
months in the year is entitled to all
the protection against transients that
the city can give.
However" said the mayor, "the
question is what can we do?' and
that will have to be answered by the
city attorney"
City Attorney Hayden was of the
Onion that something could be done
but not just what the jewellers wanted.
I'VE cpan't do just anything we
want in this matter he said. I'VE
can't just refuse to issue a license to
one concern and grant it to the next
one that comes along. Neither can we
fix a license fee that is exorbitant.
The matter will receive further con-
at the hands of the city at
torney and the city commissioners.

and partiality," he said.

personal good will, which has attend

amazing growth of our beloved coun-

will go into history as working con-
gress.''
The senate floor and gallery pre-
scented the usual scene.
James NJ Baker, the secretary,
called the session to order and the
chaplain prayed for divine guidance
for the preservation of peace at home
and its restoration abroad.
Thirty-two newly elected senators
then were sworn in. Each was escort
ed by his colleague.
Bills Into Hopper.
After swearing in the new members,
the senate recessed until 2:30 o'clock.
In the house, meanwhile, bills and
resolutions were pouring into the hop
per at the clerks desk.
National defense measures predom-
mated and there were many proposals
for various investigation
There were many bills for rural
credits, river and harbor improve
ments, extension of the rural mail
service, and a large number of the So
called private bills.
Many will never get further than
the stage of introduction.
The business of introducing bills did
not deter some of the returning old
timers from holding receptions. For
mer Speaker Cannon, Representative
Hill, Longworth, Mckinley, and others
AS well as the leaders of both par
ties-were the center of groups of the
latest arrivals.
Resolutions reflecting the views of
those opposed to the national defense
program and proposing investigation
of organizations which favor military
preparedness were not lacking. In
the lot were resolutions to investigate

WOMEN TO CAPITOL



Shortly before noon tfle procession to
the capitol began. More than one
thousand women were in line.
A cavalry division or twelve women
dressed in suffrage colors and carry
ing the Susan B. Anthony banner pro-
claiming:
I'VE demand the passage of the
Susan B. Anthony amendment" came
first. Then followed twelve girls
wearing liberty caps to represent the
silent appeal for the vote. twelve wom-
en- representing the twelve enfran-
chised states, thirty seven women in
walking costumes representing the
thirty-seven states in which women do
not have the vote and 800 suffrage
leaders.
Despite the cold weather thousands
stood along the line of march and APP
plauded. The women's liberty bell
which was made in Philadelphia and
will not ring until women are en-
franchised in every state, had a prom
inent position on the side lines.
Solons Stand With CcndeIl.
About a hundred congressman stood
with Representative MondeH when he
received the petition.
Under free government" he de-
clared in his address from the steps
there can be no more important ques-
ton than one involving the suffrage
rights of all the people"
All the marchers later went to the
White House where President wilson
received the 500 visiting suffrage
leaders. Miss Anne Martin of Nevada,
speaking for them, CONGRATULATED the
president on his stand for suffrage.
Since he could not speak. FOR ms
party on the question she pointed out,
he might speak to it, and she asked
him to do that.

He REPLIES TO HOBsON
F. B. Lawrence Answers the ''Pre-
paredness'' Speech of the Hero
of the Merrimac.

An answer to Hobson's prepared
ness talk was given at the First
Christian church Sunday morning by
F. B. Lawrence, national lecturer of
the International Peace and Equity
league.
1.-The agitation for armament and
preparedness is being made by army
and navy officers" said Mr.. Lawrence.
Funds for the propaganda are being
furnished by those interested in mill
tary preparednesS-inte enough
to furnish capital for its progress.
Captain Hobson came to Topeka
cloaked by the veil of national prohi-
bition and instead urged armament
I shall try 20 answer it, "Militarism
in Mexico was the subject of Mr..
Lawrence's address before the mems
class in the morning, and he spokH
in the church on Sane Preparedness
VS.. Military Maniacs."
Take "A to 500 per cent profit out
of munition making and the pre-
paredness talk will stop" said Mr..
Lawrence. I'VE need an army for po-
lice duty only and the moment the
force becomes a large standing army
that moment does it conflict with the
primary principle of American gov
ernment-as an army represents alb
solutism and Americans will not stand
for total loss of their principles of
freedom. Put the money in highways
and train the boys to be useful instead
of building up a useless system.
1.-The snobbishncss and aristocratic
hauteur of the army officer will be
one of the. causes. that will make
Americans ban Tnilitarism. I agree
with WA. White in advocating eff
cheney at home before in the army
q Mr.. Lawrence is a personal friend
of William Jennings Bryan and has
been a prominent Kansas Democrat
