CHICAGO. Jan. S. Increased
offering of new Argentine and Aus
tralian wheat in Liverpool depressed
prices III all world markets today.
chicago quotations declined as
much as ss cent at times, while the
English market was off about a
cent in some cases.
British millers were reported re-
celylng offers of new Argentine
wheat at around 50 cents per bushel.
or cents below Australian and &
cents or more below Canadian. Most
observers reported Argentine Yields
and quality are exceeding expecta-
tions.
Tending to check price declines
here was the fact that little or no
moisture has been received in South.
western winter wheat districts,
where relief is most needed.
Corn prices declined as much as
q cent at times, rejecting reports
of partial rains in Argentina, with
more precipitation predicted. Buenos,
Aires corn prices declined about IL
cents. Some attention was paid the
announcement that the 1880 do-
mestic corn acreage in the CONNER.
cial area has been increased 744,122
acres through the addition of 20
counties to the area.
Oats and rye declined slightly with
wheat and corn, but lard held fairly
steady, rejecting strength in the
hog market.
Around II am. wheat was 1s-3s
lower compared with yesterdays fin
lsh. May, 70A; July, 70h. and corn
was h-A down, May, 531s; July,

DC. Deposits Climb
To New Record Of
$341,634,354
Previous AlI-Time
Peak Established in
March, 1887
BY EDWARD C. STONE.

Total deposits in Washington's %
banks and trust companies reached
new all-time high mark on De-
cember 81, 1888, a survey by The
Star disclosed following a call for
the condition of all the banks in the
Capital and all national banks in
the United States. issued today by
the controller of the currency.
Deposits in the Capital banks ag-
gregated $341 ,634 ,354.65 on the last
day of 1898. The previous high rec
ord was a total of S341 ,235, ,513 26, re-
ported in March, 1887.
Bank deposits on September %,
the date of the last previous call,
amounted to S33O625. .O29.99 which
means that deposits in the banks
here have made a gain in the past
three months of $l1 ,32466. They
are also far ahead of December 81,
1887, the total year ago standing
at 1922 ,651 1854.
1t has been known that money
had been piling up in the banks dur
ing the last quarter of 1888, but the
new record will cause general sur
prise among bank officials. Today's
returns showed that 18 of the %
banks had made gains in deposits
in the past three months. In the
other instances the decreases were
small. Riggs National reported
higher deposits than on any pre-
vious call date. Others also hung
up new records.

Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK.
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-Steels and
aircrafts begged down fractions to
more than 2 points in today's stock 4
market and most other issues
slipped.
Wall Street, with eyes centered on
Washington, found two major pieces
OF news to digest.
Foremost was the Presidents
budget message recommending con-
tinuance of huge deficit spending, as
presaged in his opening address to
Congress, with the public debt in
the netx fiscal year reaching a new
record peak. Secondly was Mr.
Roosevelt's appointment of Har-
wards Prof. Frankfurter to the
Supreme Court
Some financial quarters saw "in-
fationary'' prospects in the latest
budget, but stock buyers appeared
timid because of doubts regarding
just how far the lawmakers would
go in the spending plans. Neither
the budget nor the Frankfurter ap-
polntment was believed to have been
a surprise to boardrooms.
Prices were somewhat uneven at
the start. after yesterdays brisk
run-up. A handful of utilities, cop
pers and specialties did relatively
well for a time, but pivotal stocks
were without rising tendencies
throughout.
Dealings slowed after fairly
active opening, but picked up in the =
concluding hour, Transfers approx.
imated 100000 shares.
On the losing side were United

Racial Prejudice Defeated
 PerrieLLo In c. O. F. Race
City's Chief Executive Makes Sensational
 Charge at Dinner

Mayor Patrick M. perriello last night picked the testimonial dinner in honor of Prosecuting Attorney Michael J. Qalullo as the occasion in which to blame racial prejudice for being the principal cause of his defeat in the Republican party primaries. Visibly affected, the mayor spoke to an audience of more than 50 persons at the Ho- tel Elton.
 Praise for dalullo as 0 man who seized the opportunities for ad- yancement afforded in America was given by a list of speakers which itl- cluded William J. pape, Attorney J, Warren Upson, Republican town committee chairman: Judge Edward Mascolo, Attorney Frederick Palom- ba; Rt. Rev. Monsignor Joseph Val- dambrini; Rev. Michael Lynch, for- mer pastor of the Church of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, now of Wind- sor Locks; Rev, Patrick Flynn, pres- ent pastor of the church; Colonel William shanahan; Judge Harry J Beardsley; Rev. B. T. Anderson rector of Trinity Episcopal church Edward Udelowitz and Nicholas Beccia, who spoke in Italian. The affair was one of tho most success ful Of the year and was attended by representatives of many different nationalities, although Italians pre- dominated.
 Couldn't Win"
 Recalling that when he withdrew his candidacy for mayor in the last election he promised to make Q future statement, Mayor Perriello who came to the dinner after at- tending Q Board of Works meeting, said, Mike and I couldn't win the primaries principally because Of racial prejudice"
 The mayor then made Q plea for tolerance and more AmericaniSm in politics, asking the "old timers who descend from the pilgrims to recog- iiize those of Us who have Italian names, but are American citizens" The present conditions must Do corrected, the mayor said, and urged his listeners to work together for the betterment Of the community.
 The mayor said he had not dis- cussed the topic of his speech with daluilo beforehand, and said he was not sore or bitter. He thanked daiullo for his services, saying that the fact that "he was my political manager in the primary, indicates what 1 think of him"
 Brilliant Future
 The other speakers dwelt on the qualities Of mind and character of the honored guest, many Of them phophecying for him q still more brilliant future. Judge Edward Mas colo said dalullo was the man for the post Of city court prosecutor be-. cause Of the human problems that come before that court. You have to rub elbows with them to under stand theni," the judge said, refer- ring to the people who are tried in city court.
 Introduced by Toastmaster Roy Rice as 6 Yankee Edition of Mike dalullo," J. Warren Upson termed the honored guest c first citizen of Waterbury, praised his clear mind and added that when he's with you, he's with you, but when he's against you, he against you"

 Politics Here Says Mayor
 All Races in Waterbury Have Same Aims De. clares Perriello in Prepared Speech-Asks Tolerance for Various Nationalities.

Italian names but we're Aneri- can citizens. Now I am not try. ing to make c political speech, l am only trying to put more AmericaniSfn in politics, such as we have today here in Water bury. I am not bitter or sore, I am pointing out a condition that must be corrected.
 I want all our people with names which came from the oth- or side a few years ago, to show the people whose ancestors like- wise came over from the other side 200 years ago-thAt we both have the same aims and pur. pose. I ask that the old timers, the descendants of the Pilgrims, to recognize us newcomers as fellow Americans, who have Q desire to become better citizens and work with them for the betterment of our city. If Q bet tor understanding can be ob- tained between all groups--re- gardless of race - color and creed - and - ik they can Do united for . common pnrposeal- our city and our party VIII overA coma the hardicaps which now hinder iis. s1 yssts9 ssss , IVY
 I have not discussed with Mike the thoughts have just ex- pressed to you but I know he will agree with mo when l say that more tolerance and better understanding are the most ifn- portant necessities In our party AS '3t exists today and that wc must have leaders who will not lot race prejudice appear in par ty politics. '
 Tn conclusion I want to say that I'm very glad to be here tonight. I'm glad to be with you in paying honor to Mike. He de- serves 1t and I want to take this occasion to publicly thank him for the unseifish service he rene dered to mo, and I wish him long life and continued success.

Mayor Patrick M. Perriello's statement in which he planes racial prejudice for his defeat in the Republican party primaries follows.
 Mir Toastmaster, Honor Guest and Friends of Mike dalullo.
 You will notice I didn't say my friends. You are here to- night to honor Mike dalullo, therefore oil of you are his friends. I am going to loan those of you who are my friends to Mike-but it's for tonight only.
 I nm sorry l couldn't be here for tho entire dinner but you know city business must come before pleasure, at least It ought to.
 To prevent being misquoted, I am going to read my thoughts to you rather than just talk all speakers tonight have praised Mike. To save time and pre-. vent repetition I will agree to oil tho nice things they have said about him. | am going to simply state that he was my political manager in the pri- mary campaign and that in. dicates what think. of him. You certainly are close to Q man when both are earnestly work ing for 6 common purpose. Tn spite of our efforts we didn't reach our goal. I am going to point out one of the main reasons" itl
 When I withdrew my candi- dacy for mayor I stated l might have something further to say after election. So far have not done SO. If I mention c lot of facts, I could stir up all sorts of trouble and increase the dis- senBion which still exists in our party. Instead l am going to deal with the matter in Q gener- al way.
