For the purchase and installation

1t is also proposed to obtain the

the army.
Contracts Without Advertising.
A plan to permit the department to
place contracts with private munitions
manufacturers without advertising for
bids in order to foster the develop
ment of plants deemed necessary in
included in the bill.
Not more than twenty-five per cent
of the appropriation made for the
ordnance department which includes
the bulk of the total estimates in the
bill, would be available under this
provision.
The bill also would provide that
continuing contracts to the extent of
more than s13.O00,000 might be made
by department this year, to cover con-
tracts for big guns, and other equip
ment which requires a long time TO
manufacture. 1t will not be necessary
to pay for this for two years or more.
The entire proposals represent the
first years expenditures on coast de-
lenses and other work in the develop
ment of big gun under the admins
tration plant to spend $50, 100000 for
this purpose in the next four wears.

Telegraphic communication between
New York and points west and north

TODAY'S MARKE! REPORT.

Chicago Dec. 14.-WHEAT-Whea made
a decided advance in value today, owing
largely to a decrease in the worlds avail
able stock Furthermore, bull leaders took
the position that uncertainty to the
amount OF wheat in Buffalo, afloat
made no difference, as the bulk of the
total doubtless was already sold for eX-
port.
/ Lower prices at Liverpool had only a
transient effect here.
The opening, which ranged from H@%c
off to &c up, with December at $1.1512 to
S1157s and May at $1165s to SILT, was
followed by sharp upturns all around.
The close was heavy at &c to 11sc net
advance, with December $116A and May
S117A @11ISk.
CORN-Corn rose with wheat. At first
however, the market was easy a result
of clear cold weather favorable for husking
and shipping. After opening NC to &c
lower and undergoing a slight further dip,
prices advanced all around we'll above yes
terday's finish
The close was nervous at the same as
yesterdays finish to &c lower.
OATS-Oats were governed chiefly by the
action of corn. Trade was in the main of
a local character, especially the selling.
PROVIS1ONS-Higher prices hogs
brought about an upturn in provisions. The
receipts at the yards here were much less
plentiful than expected. Commission houses
did some of the buying of provision futures
but the Crater part of the demand came
from shorts.
