Brown Bonds Steady.
NEW YORK. Nov. 5. Th, .pecul.tiT.
force In the stock market renewed the con
t!t today for a hlather ranse of price. The
reactionary tendency which developed late
yesterday was checked by the authoritative
statement from President Brown, of the
New York Central, contradicting the rumor
that a sale of a large short-term note Irsue
of that company was In contemplation. Pres
ident Hrown's explicit asnertlon that the
elO.oon.owo Michigan Central note issue
placed In Paris bad cost that company but
i per cent net served to correct reports
of an enormous Interest rat. which had been
exacted fur that financing.
The tone of mercantile reviews fostered
the Impression that business activity was
a siting for relief from ;h. unsettlemcnt cf
political unrest.
The call money market on Saturday at the
stock exchange is merely nomlnsl. as ioars
made on Kriday carry over until Monday.
The tone of the time loan market was called
decidedly strung and more active. The for
eign exchange market weakened sharply,
and this was believed to reflect the nego
tiation of additional bankers finance bills
In the Paris and rUondon markets. The pri
vet, discount rat. In London moved toward
further recovery, giving evidence that the
Itank of England was again securing control
in that market.
The shipments of gold last week to Canada
are believed not to have appeared In last
week's bank estimates. The actual surplus
Is reduced to $5.72.0OO and the excess
of loans over deposits Is again broadened.
The stock market closed easy under the
effect of profit-taking sales.

Buying at Chicago in Anticipa

MARKET CLOSES CENT UP
Better Demand for Cash Grain.
Rumors of Export Sales at Win
nipeg Primary Receipts .
Are Decreasing.
CHICACIO, Nov. 5. Some new buytngv of
wheat today was based on the Idea that a
good rally waa due after such a long -continued
decline. Receipts at primary points
during the week had lessened about 1.000.-
000 bushels from the figures at the corre
apondlng time last year, whereas shipments
out of the same cities were short but little
more than 2.000.000 bushels. Better call
developed here for cash wheat and there
were reports of further shipping sales at
Winnipeg, presumably low grades to Ger
many. Selling pressure waa off the entire
day and the market advanced steadily from
the start, except for a brief dip early. The
close left prices within c of the top of
the session. December ranged from 88
to 8nc. with laat sales Sj lc up at 90
689c.
Corn support was not as good as expect
ed. May fluctuated between 4ftc and 49c,
closing e net lower .at 44Uc. Cash
demand waa limited. Latest figures for
No. 2 yellow were 60 651c.
Oats hsrdened a little. The market,
however, was dull. May sold from 34c to
34c and finished the same as yesterday,
34c.
There was a strong turn in all hog prod
ucts. At the wlndup pork was unchanged
to 37 c higher, lard no different from last
night to 57c dearer and ribs at an
advance of 667 to 10c

ODDS ARE WITH JOHNSON
CALIFORNIA REPUBLICANS PRE
DICT 20,000 PLURALITY.
Poolrooms Figure Bell Will Carry
San ' Francisco Democrats
' Look for Landslide.
SAX FRANCISCO. Nov. 6. With both
ides claiming victory the Republi
can "by the largrest vote ever given a
candidate for Governor In thla state."
the Democrats "by 60,000 and upwards"
campaigning- came to a close tonight
in California's first general election
since the enactment of the direct pri
mary law. ,
In ' local poolrooms tonight election
money is at evens that Hiram Johnson,
Republican, will carry the state by 20.
000. Odds of. 10 to six are offered that
Theodore A. Bell, Democrat, will carry
San Francisco.
Statements Issued today by the chair
man of tha two state central commit
tees are a follows:
By Meyer Ussner, chairman of the
Republican State Central Committee:
CHiranj W. Johnson will be elected
Governor of California Tuesday next
by the larirest vote ever given a can
didate for Governor in this state. He
will carry with him the entire Repub
lican ticket. Reports received from all
over the state show that there has been
no falling off of the normal Republi
can strength.
"In the southern part of the state,
the majority in Los Angeles' County
alone will be In the vicinity of 2t0.
In all probability Johnson will carry
half.
Johnson will take from Bell the en
tire Republican disaffection that voted
with the Democratic candidate four
years ago, and will add to that rote a
strong Democratic following opposed
to the Southern Pacific political ma
chine." By R. H. Dewitt. chairman of the
Democratic State Central Committee:
"Reports from all parts of California,
from both Democratic and Republican
sources, point to but one result an
overwhelming landslide for Bell and
Shellacy. They will bury Johnson and
Wallace with a pludality of 60,000 a .
upwards. We will carry at least 47 of
the 58 counties. "
"Our majorities in San Francisco will
be from 15.000 to 18.000, and reports
from Los Angeles indicate that we will
carry that county." ,
OPTION OP IN ARIZONA
SKIRMISH IX, COXSTITTJTION'AL
CONVENTION' UNDECISIVE.
"Wets"' Show Greater Strength In
Preliminary Skirmish, but Gain
No Permanent Advantage.
PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. 5. The first
clash over prohibition in the constitu
tional convention occurred today. Al
though both sides on the liquor question
designated it as a "skirmish," It had all
the ear marks of a real battle.
When the debate on the initiative and
referendum was resumed in committee of
the whole, the convention was thrown
into confusion by the introduction of
amendments by advocates on both sides
of the local option question. The anti
Prohibitionists presented an amendment
which would segregate cities and coun
ties in the operation of local option. The
friends of Prohibition argued in favor
of an amendment which' the opponents of
it .declared would repeal the present ter
ritorial segregation law.
The debate, in which the Prohibition
cause was pleaded by Rev. J. E. Crutch
field, a delegate from Maricopa, at
times verged on ' the acrimonious and
after considerable confusion and several
votes in which the "wets" showed the
greater strength, -but gained no per
manent advantage, the convention voted
to adjourn until Monday.
The clause providing that the Legisla
ture may refer laws to the people was
stricken out of the committee's report
by a close vote. .

WALLA WALLA. Wash., Nov. 5.
(Special.) Sample ballots will not be
used in the coming election in Walla

yesterday. Prosecuting Attorney Smith

cial ballots. t

election law of the state, however no
provision was made for the samples,

schoolhouses. "Since the end of No
vember, 1909," they say, "we have
made no building grants, except in the
case of four new ' schools and some
minor works of improvements, "etc.,
and it is imnossible to say how much
longer this serious crisis will con
tinue." To show the urgency of their
needs the commissioners say:
"In many of the cases where new
houses are still required the existing
buildings are mere hovels; some have
earthen floors and thatched or broken
roofs unceiled within, and others are
badly lighted and ventilated, possess
ing insufficient floor and cuoic space
for the numbers in attendance, and
destitute of any sanitary arrange
ments. We have referred at length in
former reports to the impossibility of
doing really satisfactory work under
such unfavorable conditions."
Nor does this exhaust the commis
sioners' charges against the govern
ment. They continue:
"We have once more to make seri
ous complaint that many proposals
which we have felt it our duty to urge
in recent years for the improvement
and extension of our educational sys
tem continue to receive, but grant con
sideration at the hands of the Irish
Government and the Lords of his
majesty's Treasury. An ' English min
ister, Mr. Runciman, speaking in Par
liament on behalf of the English
Board of Education and review-ins the
educational progress of the year. Is
able to point to a large increase of
grants consequent on the ewer-widening
range of the activities of his de
partment, to discourse at length on the
ruralizing of elementary education in
country districts of England and the
spread of agricultural instruction
through evening schools and school
gardens connected with primary
schools, and to discuss the beneficial
effects of state-Instituted medical in
spection of school children and in-,
creased facilities for physical exercises
and training in domestic economy.
"In Ireland we are, we trust, fully
alive to the Importance and advan
tages of such modern developments of
educational effort, but our demands for
the necessary financial assistance for
proposals of a simpler and more ob
vious kind have hitherto been met with
curt refusals."
A long catalogue of recommenda
tions which have been made for meet
ing the educational needs of the coun
try follows; in every case these were
met with refusal. The worst instances
refer to the case of teachers salaries,
which are admittedly inadequate.
