TnDAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago. Dec. 31.-CORN-Fresh strength
developed in the corn market today owing
more or less to scantiness of receipts and
to further reports of difficulty in getting
ears in which to make shipments from
country elevators. One Illinois road was
said to be furnishing only o per cent of the
car requirement. Husking returns were
likewise slow. much of the crop being still
too full of moisture to crib even in cold
weather. Opening prices. which ranged
from unchanged figures to a shade

subsequently peace talk and milder tenn
peratures gave the bears an advantage. The
close was steady. Ac to sc net lower with
January S1.26as and May $124&.
OAIS-Oats advanced sharply as Il result
of offerings being meager. Prospects of
new export business had also bulish eff
feet.
PROVISIONS-High quotations on
hogs lifted provisions. On the bulge. how
ever, profit taking set in and reaction
followed.
Later the market was depressed by fore
casts of large receipts of hogs before the

SEATTLE'S RING
BY Edwin J. Brown

There is ring in Seattle and in King County. 1t is
ring of rowdy rufian raScals it cares little for honor
less than little for the people, and to it the phrases pub
lie good" public morals and 'rights of the people
are joke, not to be considered The man or newspaper
that exposes or nerereS with this ring is marked to be
dscredted hated and destroyed This ring can do any,
thing that it dare do, and has never been known to
blush, except the brazen blush of the beast man.
This ring debauches public officials discredits our
public institutions and destroys public credit
his ring meets in secret places and decides who will
best serve their purpose in public Office then proceeds
to use such means as the ends will Justify to elect them
This ring never sleeps; it is in politics every minute
of every day. every night, and it public officials
without their being conscious of its purpose 1t is Gre
ated by the institutions that must use it.
The ring just now is having a hard time battling for
existence but is prepared for an emergency 1t behooves
the people, therefore, to be guard. The rumblinss
now indicate that the hand of the ring will soon be seen
above the ground.
