WOULD PREVENT GOING DRY.

Cheyenne, Wyo., March S.-The first organized effort of liquor inter- ests to defeat prohibition in Wyoming when the state amendment propost- ion comes up for vote at the election in November of this year has come to light in the organization of the Trades Union Liberty League, which has just completed the mailing of let ters to all members of organized labor in Wyoming appealing for the defeat of the prohibition measure.
 The letter appeals to labor men on the ground that the saloons stand for the "protection of unions, of homes, of positions and of rights" It de- clares that the voting out of saloons in Wyoming will throw out of en- ployment scores of "organized broth CTS" who will be obliged to seek en- ployment in trades that are unioniz-

Chicago Grain.

Chicago, March 8-Ideal weather for efficient railroad operations eased the corn market little today. There were also predictions of a decided en- largement of the car supply in the near future. Immediate need of grain was conceded to be so great, howev- CT, that no important set back in prices took place. Futures, after op- ening with May $1.27 3-S underwent a slight decline
 Assumptions that the government report this afternoon on farm re- serves would show the largest stocks ever known, kept the market relaxed. The close was steady; unchanged to Is lower with March $1.27 7-8 and May $1.27 IA.
 Oats hardened in price owing to scantiness of arrivals. Handlers con tinued to give transportation prefer ence to corn. Opening figures, which varied from Is off to IA cent ad- vance, were followed by little upturn which, however was not we'll main tained.
 Provisions showed disposition to sag. The market lacked aggressive support.
 Subsequently the fact that ship ments of lard and meats from here

New York Cotton.

New York, March 8.-Thc cotton market opened firm at an advance of 10 to 21 points in response to higher Liverpool cables, renewal of the Liv- erpool buying her, and covering. The absence of rain in the southwest doubtless contributed to the advance but the market met a good deal of re- aliZing around 32.04 for May and 30.50 for October, or about l5 to "A points above last nights closing figures.
 This cause reactions with the mar ket working 2 to 3 points under last nights closing figures before the end of the first half hour. Business was fairly active at the start but the mar ket soon became quiet and the trade seemed to find no fresh inspiration in the general news.
 After selling off to 32.S7 for May and 30.22 for October, the market steadied late in the morning on a con- tinued but moderate demand from spot house brokers and bulIsh spot ad- vices, with the market meting enough scattering liquidation to hold prices around 31.96 for May and 30.33 for October, or about points above last nights closing figures.
 No fresh feature developed during the early afternoon and trading con tinued quiet with May ruling around 31.9 .95 and October 30.22 or about 6 points net higher to four points low CT.

The Indian Sign Language.

A white man who visits q foreign nation finds i, hard and sometimes Impossible to make his most ordinary wants known. The red man has no such dif1icuItS; the problem of uni versa) language was solved centuries ago by the savage inhabitants of this western world Should an Indian from northern Alaska go to Patagonia he could by means of this universal Ian guage converse with his southern brethren almost as easily as he could with his neighbOrs at home. That would also be the case if he visited Central America or met the tribes men of our own western prairies and mountains. When this language was invented no one knows, but every In- dian learns it in addition to his Own
 Recently two chiefs of different tribes met in the Geographic society rooms in Washington and held conversation that lasted nearly three hours, and yet neither, one Enew word of the oth- CTS language. This universal lan- guage is, of course, made up of signs.
