TODaY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, Nov. 16-WHEAT = Fresh
strength developed in the wheat market
today owing more or less to indications
of European purchases over night, presum-
ably Canadian wheat Bullish sentiment
was also stimulated by the scarcity of cash
grain here. Besides, country offerings
were meager, opening quotations ranging
from Ac to Sc higher with December S1.s5
to $1.S6A aud March S1.f6 to $1.I62, were
followed by a moderate gain.
Talk of possibility of enlarged ex-
ports to Germany counted in some degree
toward still higher prices. FurtherHao ore
it was said that Belgium had bought one
million bushels today. The market closed
unsettled, 1Ac to 4c net higher with De-
eember s1.sT15 to s1.ST% and March s1.771a
to S1.77a.
CORN-Corn hardened with wheat,
despite considerable selling pressure of a
speculative character. After opening Ae
ito &c up, Including December at f51sc to
75asc. the market sagged little and then
rose again.
Profit taking led subsequently, to a
slight decline. The market closed nervous,
&c lower to sc advance with December
Il55c to T45Sc.
OATS-Oats paralleled the action of corn
starting 1sc to CSC higher. May 531kc to
53ssc. then declining somewhat aud later
going up grade once more.
PROV1SIONS-Weak in the hog
market had depressing effect on pro-
visions.

GOAL MINERS SEEK REINSTATEMENT
Judge Dryer to Hear Com plaints of Men Formerly
 Employed by Companies

The claims of several miners of the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron Company that they should be reinstated in the employment of the company in the gem eral settlement of the coal strike will be heard today before Judge E. H. Dryer, referee in bankruptcy, who has been selected umpire. Complaints of four men at Bessie mines and one at Blossburg No. 3 will be taken up at this time. Five men claim they should be reinstated by the Pratt Consolidated Coal Company and three by the Aetna Company.
 Similar complaints will be heard to- morrow against the rmingharn Truss vile Iron Company concerning the Lu- buca mines, and against the Central Coal and Iron Company and the Keller man mine. Other cases will be heard Friday against the Eureka Coal Com pany, Supreme Mining Company, the Red Eagle Coal Company, and Roden Coal Company. There are numerous complaints filed which come under the Garfield agreement.
 It is pointed out that the hearing of these complaints is not by order of the court but Judge Dryer was appointed umpire to hear both sides of the mat ter and make decision after the hear ing. It is stated that these complaints grew out of the failure of various coal operators to reinstate certain miners who were called out during the recent strike of the miners

Washington Bureau The Ase- Herald
 500 Davidson Building

Washington, March 9.-(speeial)- But for the assurance that President wilson would disapprove the peace treaty with republican reservations, the Senate would proceed to rstify the Yer sailles document tomorrow.
 Administration senators. willing to yield many points to secure return Of official peace, hesitate because or knowledge that were they to yield peace would be brought no nearer.
 President Wilson will not have peace if Article 10 is amended, and the re- pubIicans will not ratify the treaty without amending Article 10.
 Despite this unfortunate situation, final vote on the treaty is anticipated as an event of tomorrow or Thursday. The vote promises to be exceedingly close. with the odds favoring the ad- ministration forces to prevent ratifica- tion by two-thirds majority. There is no question, however but that ad- manifestation senators would aid in rat dfication, but for Knowledge that the President wonld reject their work.

 He spoke the sentiment of enough other administration democrats to make it certain. that but for the uncompro- missing attitude of the President the treaty would be ratified.
 But these senators, knowing that they would gain nothing by yielding will continue to vote their convictions | And Senator Lodge, it is indicated will fail to secure the necessary two thirds vote and the treaty as the Pres ident desires, will necessarily go into the campaign.
 The Senate seethed today with speeches by republicans bitterly critical of the Presidents letter, in which he declared that without Article 10 ht would have no league.
 'It has been contended," said Senator Lodge that the league is league oi peace, a league to be controlled by diplomacy, and yet~the President fights in the last ditch with his back to the wall for the only article in the cove nant which is essentially an article ot force"

FARMERS GET ONLY $5.SS
FOR WOOL IN s75 SUIT
College Sheep Specialist Shows Best
Grade Sells for $7.37 In the -
Market.
(From the Indianapolis News.)

(From the indianapolis News.)
Sheep raisers in Indiana are not
responsible for the high cost of cloth
ing, according to Claude Harper, Pur-
due, University sheep specialist, and
also secretary of the Indinan Sheep
Breeders and Feeders association,
who has just issued statement to
the effect that the farmer receives
only $5.85 for enough wool to make
suit for man weighing It's pounds.
"A man who weighs 175 pounds re-.
quires three and one-half yards Of
cloth for a suit the weight of the
clothing being from ten to eighteen
ounces a yard" Mr.. Harper says.
"The average medium weight wool
suit is made of goods weighing four
.seen ounces a yard. At three and
one-half yards suit, the cloth in
the entire suit weighs forty-nine
ounces, or a little more than three
pounds. In the manufacture of all
wool cloth it requires one and three
fourths pounds of secured wool to
produce a pound of cloth.
Wherefore, considering waste in
manufacturing, it requires about
sixty-two ounces of secured wool for
an average suit of clothes. Most of
the Indiana secured wool is selling
in Boston from $1.25 to $1.44 a
pound. This wool scours around SO
per cent, of grease and dirt. At $1.44
a secured pound, this makes wool
worth 9 cents an ounce. AS sixty-two
ounces are required for the entire
suit, then the cost of wool in the
suit is $5.85.
Mr.. Harper says that if suit
made of the very best grade of wool.
which is selling at about $1.90. n
secured pound, then the wool in the
suit will cost $7.37. The cost Of ship
ping, commission, ETC., he says, is at
least 5 cents a pound, which is de-
