Wheat-Bearish statistics, the Cana dian
situation and lower cables seem to be
losing their effect. On the other hand,
the domestic situation seems to be COM
ing to the fore with a little more en-
phasis The market is still narrow and
it runs into liberal selling orders on sharp
advances, but it also runs into very lib
eral buying orders, seemingly placed to
catch the selling done on breaks. The
primary movement, present and to come,
and it is the incentive for some of the
buying on the two or three setbacks. We
had some rains in the winter wheat coun-
try, but unfortunately not in the suffer
ing part Of the Southwest territory.
Clearances were liberal to-day and We
thiDk caused little confidence. The talk
is that there has been large export sales
lately. On the whole, the market inn
presses us with the idea that steadiness
to a possible improvement is more than
ters of recent date become more impress
sive again than seems likely now. Cana
dian farmers are supposed to own from
ten to fifteen million bushels Of the
twenty-five million bushels of wheat at
Fort William and Port Arthur.
Corn and Oats-The corn market CON
tinues to show an exceedingly good de-
mand by Eastern shippers and exporters
with 4 view to getting stocks East before
the close of navigation. Cash corn sold

ible supply now started to decrease

supplies, prices of product were well
maintained and there SENS to be a fairly
good competitive demand.

features will be corrected by operations
at the Mayo Brothers Hospital.
Miss Lieuallen came to Denver endeav-

and was aided by j local charitable or
ganization.
She made the trip from California
alone in small automobile. which in

years ago in san Francisco, $50 no one

NEW YORK CITY
VOW is CAPITAL

Metropolis Clearing House
for Country, Says
Official.

NEW YORK, Nov. H.-Notwithstand-
ing the huge quantities of drugs-co
caine, morphine, heroin and opium
seized within the last six months, New
York City still remains the clearing
house Of the rest of the country, ae-
cOrding to Dr. Carleton Simon, special
deputy police commissioner.
DR.. Simon declared that while Snug
Cling of drugs through border towns
and other ports has diminished, it con-
tinues into the port of New York from
European countries, chiefly Germany.
A deck of herOin-one "shot''-sells
On the street from $150 to So, depending
upon the locality. The deputy commits

deprived the smugglers of the income
from 300 drug victims, which means
S12, 200 daily" said DIR. Simon. But there
are still 10000 drug addicts at large in
this city. They represent to the dealers
an income of 100000 daily. These do
not include the Legitimate drug users"
addicts who are being treated for the
drug habit by their physicians. The
narcotic squad does not interfere with
doctors or their patients"
Recently a young man Of prominent
family was among those arrested IN
raid upon n dope joint" He had
quantity of heroin upon him and pro-
tested that he obtained il from his
physician. This was found to be the
truth. and he was turned over to his
family doctor.
But our object is not to get the drug
victims. We want to break up the
smuggling ring that is mulcting these
poor unfortunates for all they viii pay.
The Federal authorities are working with
us, and our agents are in Europe watch
ing activities of drug sellers there. We
have 4 complete record of every drug
user arrested here with Bertillon photo
graphs and a criminal record. Similar
records for over 600 cities throughout the
country are in our possession, and we
received the same data regularly from
police of Canada and France"
The ingenuity of smugglers and
drug sellers is illustrated by exhibits
in the Deputy Commissioner office. A
book with the title 1.-The Annual
Report of the Board of Health had a
large hole in the center, two inches
square, and in this hole were a dozen
| decks of heroin. Other books were
similarly cut. An embossed Christmas
card, beautifully Sarnished with flowers
and 4 woman's slipper; proved to be
pure camouflage, as a quantity of heroin
was found inside the miniature slipper.
\ pair of shoes. also on exhibition, were
used by workhouse inmate who sold
drugs to other inmates from the shoe
Innings.

SWINE VALUES
BARELY STEADY
Lambs so to IS Cents Lower
Cattle Trade Slow.
RANGE OF HOG PRICES.

With receipts around 5000 and both
local packers and shippers with Eastern
house connections showing fair demands,
swine prices ruled barely steady in trade
on the local live stock exchange today,
However, there was not the activity in
trading that there was on the market OF
the previous day and it was doubtful
whether or not all of the receipts would
move before the close.
Light swine, as on the market of the
previous day, brought $7.100725, but
some good mixed swine that would have
brought Sis on the previous day
brought only $40. Nevertheless, sales
be considered as within the general mar
ket
The bulk of the sales were made at 81.
The cattle market followed the same
trend that has been taken for the past
week or more being duh and draggy,
with prices barely steady to lower. Some
sales of poor cattle were said to have
been made at values that were fully %
cents lower.
There were but few good cattle among
the COO fresh receipts, but packers were
buying cattle regardless of the poor
quality.
There were, comparatively speaking, no
good steers on the market.
Bulls were in fair demand at about
steady prices
Calves were steady, with receipts ex-
tremely light at 500 There was a top
Of $11 on choice veals, the top main
tanned on the market of the previous day.
while the bulk of that grade sold at
$1,000
Sheep were steady, considering the
quality offered, while lambs were 80 to
10 cents lower. All Of the receipts were
wet and in poor condition for marketing
The top of the market was IS, which
was paid for a few eve and wether
lambs.
