Three New Senators.

1t is seldom that new senator's take
their seats at the opening of a short
session of Congress. This year. how
ever, there are three such cases.
Senator Kirby, Democrat. takes the
place of the late Senator Clarke of Ar
kansas, Senator Fernald. Republican,
occupies the seat of the late Senator
Burleigh of Maine. and Senator Wat
son, Republican. Of Indiana supplants
Tom Taggart who had been appointed
by the governor at the time of Senator
Shively's death. The last named case
represents a gain for the Republicans,
while the politics Of the senator's from
Arkansas and Maine remains as be-
fore.

THE CHICAGO WHEAT MARKET
&C. E. Embree)

It is interesting to investigate into
the methods of selling and buying
wheat on the Chicago Board of Trade.
To one who does not look below the
surface all is confusion and in fact
conveys no meaning.
BEAR. is a man who sells short
Bull is a man who buys long. A bear
by selling short tends to hold the price
down. He doesn't have the wheat and
soon he will have to buy. in other
words he becomes a bull in that case.
The bear is usually the large buyer in
Chicago. The bull is quite often the
small buyer probably out of Chicago.
HEDGING-When a miller buys
wheat for future delivery he does SO in
order that he may protect himself. He
has made his contract to furnish flour
at certain price in the future based
on the price of wheat for May, say.
He then goes out and buys wheat for
future delivery so as to protect him.
self against possible fluctuation in
the market This is called hedge
and is under the least suspicion of any
of the activities of dealing in future.
Millers are not spectators that is why
they hedge. Later. however, he may
buy his wheat day by day as he needs
1t and finally sell his original contract
BY this method he still has his in
surance by his hedge.
QUESTION-Is there any assur-
ance that the Spectator will fulfill his
contracts? The Board of Trade re-
quire that spectators deposit with
them as a clearing house to cover the
rise in the price of grain. Every day
the short seller must deposit with the
Board of Trade (when wheat goes up)
the difference between the price he
sold for and the new price of wheat.
Also the Spectator is under bonds.
SELLING FOR MAY DELIVERY
In the winter time wheat is sold for
May delivery. So in May when the
delivery has to be made each specula-
tor in turn who has sold short buys
wheat to fulfill his contract. The man
who sells him this wheat probably
does not own wheat and as he likewise
again must buy. This sequence con-
tinues until 1t is cheaper for short to
forfeit his collateral which he has put
up.
RINGING OUTS the process by |
which contracts are Cancelled. by the !
clearing house. Clearing houses will
not divulge the amount Of sales made !
in a day, as 1t is impossible to deter |
mine the number of times the wheat I
crop is sold in the course Of a year.
Future trading has the following |
points in its favor: It furnishes a |
steady market It establishes prices
There are reasons why wheat Is the |
easiest to corner. Wheat is scarcest |
in May. The old wheat Is all gone at |
this time. Farmers hate to stop spring
work and haul wheat to town. Bad
roads, etc.

More HOSPITALITY at White House.

Though the President is giving
thought to the high cost of living as a
national problem. he Is evidently not
concerned about it personally. At any
rate. he is having politicians to dinner
and to luncheon much moro frequently
than he used to. In Roosevelts time
the White House table was clearing
house for all kinds of interesting peo-
pie, and at breakfast Taft discussed
many a topic with guests. Mr.. Will
son, however, has rarely made use of
his mahogany in this manner and his
recent entertainments for Bryan, for
Vance Mccormick and for Francis
Heney have been so much advertised
that people at the capital are begin
ming to think q new era is at hand in
White House hospitality.

mercial.
There are some things, that people
who have really given thought to the
subject know. which our New York
friend seems never to have heard. In
the first place, the booze interests al
ways fight for local option" where
prohibition prevails, and for license"
where local option holds sway. Those
are the steps, and it is short one
from wet in spots to full. general,
all-round wetness, all for the very
reason given by our exchange-"wet"
New Bedford overthrows the desires Of
dry" Fall River. The liquor trade,
decent" and bad, has no respect for
law. The dealers Of all grades and
sizes in Boston conspire with the
meanest thugs in Maine to defy and
violate our State laws.
Fall Rivers decency has done its
best to rid itself Of the saloon business,
but the liquor interests promptly boast
that they will flood the city from New
Bedford. And they will use every
means in their power to that end, even
to hiring otherwise respectable and re-
sponsible newspapers to mislead the
public
Another thing that has entirely es-
capped our wise New York friend is
that there exists no such thing as a
decent" saloon. The "low groggeries"
carry less Of hypocrisy and deceit than
friend, for they are the unpublished
tabernacles Of John Barleycorn and
his host Of ingenious devils who hatch
and protect the decent" hell holes.

The vote stood A to 80; and then Sen

sworn. In view of some Of the cheap

almost anything distracts him. A caddie

rabbit and was knocked unconscious by
the ball. Mr.. Provost stood tapping his

Mr.. Provost drove the ball down the field
into the brush where the cotton tail had
disappeared. When he reached there he
