Am- Hl Tl TT1 H Fl fl n Hrn lUr LUC Udb UVtllU . cratjc national convention and the uaul' " ' election of a new treasurer ana secre- tary, will constitute the chief work of the democratic national commit tee which meets here Tuesday morn ing to make preparations for the 1916 presidential campaign. Four cities, Chicago, St. Louis, Dallas and San Francisco are In the race for the convention. Dallas and St. Louis delegations ars here, each fortified with a fion.coo check ready to promise the na tional committee every convenience. Particular stress Is being laid by each delegation on his hotel, railroad and wlra facilities. They also have weather maps and records for many years to prove that climatic conditions will be ideal with them In June, when the convention will be held. June 19 is the opening data generally favored. Offer of St. Loots. The St Louis delegation offers the usa of Its convention hall which will seat 14,000. Dallas has no hall at this time other than an auditorium at the .stats fair grounds. It Is willing, however, to add to this structure or' erect a new one. A fund of f30,000 in addition to the flOO.OOO has been raised for extra expenses. William F. McCombs, chairman of ths committee who arrived here tonight from New York, said Irs did not know what the Chicago and San Francisco dele gations would offer. Each Is reported to be bringing a fund of $100,000. With about half the delegates present today, James E, Smith, chairman of the St. Louis delegation, claimed seventeen pledges for his city. Other St. Louis men expressed confidence that they would have a majority on the first ballot These assertions did not disturb the optimism of the Dallas contingent which reached Washington during the day on a special train, led by Governor Ferguson and Mayor Llndsley of Dallas. There are about seventy-flvo In ths party, includ ing the mayors of seven Texas cities. Only democrats are on the St. Louis dele gation, but ths Dallas crowd boasts that It represents all political parties. White House Neutral. . Announcement that the White Uouas would remain strictly neutral In the fight caused disappointment among the Texans, who had hoped for the president's sup port Rollo Wells of Missouri, treasurer of ths committee, has informed friends that after presenting his report at the meeting Tuesday, he will resign because he has become a governor of ths Federal Reserve bank in St Louis and does not feel that he should hold a political position. .Who his successor will be was problematical tonight Rumors that Chairman McCombs might be chosen or Homer Cummins, national committeeman from Connecticut or Fred B. Bllnch, national committeeman from Minnesota. Ths committee, it wss said tonight, will take no formal action in making its preference for Its candidate In 1914, although all of the members expect that President Wilson will be nominated. The committee will have to fill eight vacancies. Including two over which thora are contests. In Kentucky, General W. D. Haldeman is contesting the seat of the late John C. C. Mayo, with Urey Woodson, who was elected by the state committee. Coatesilna; the Beat. In Oregon W. II. Easterly Is contesting the seat of Will R. King. Ths committee will also name ths selections oi Vincent Miles of Arkansas, John T. Bamett of Colorado, W. W. Marsh of Iowa, Charles F. Johnson of Maine, Cordell Hull of Tennessee and Z. R. Cheney of Alaska. Chairman Mccomba has promised a j legation of surrrsglsts that be will make an effort to have the committee give them a hearing. Most of ths mem bers ars understood to be favorable to a healing, although it is regarded as a foregone conclusion that ths committee will take no stand on ths issue.

New price records for the 1115 croo of wheat followed each other In rapid succeseion today on ac count or waves 01 speculative Duytng. The market closed unsettled at 2V. to 3 cents net advance, with December at and May at $1,194- Oorn finished wun gains 01 wnsc to lis cents ana oats off 4o. The result in provisions waa the same a Saturday's close to 124 down. Despite heavy profit taking shares Just after the opening, wheat 1, rices durlmr moat of the day kept soaring higher and ' nigner. it seemed at times aa If all sections of the country were flooding the pit with orders to buy. Bullish senti ment waa rampant, largely because Liver pool quotations had made a full response to the sensational advances scored here Saturday and because It was announced Italy had suspended Import duties until June SO. 1916. Assertions that commandeered wheat loaned to Canadian shippers would have to be returned by December 10 to the dominion government gave additional Im petus to the upward movement of prices here. A further handicap to ths bears was the action of a leading houae In pointing out that under clrcuatajicea said to be much less favorable, the May option here showed between December 7, 1914, and April 30, 1916, an advance of mors than forty cents a bushel. Corn, like wheat, went to a new high price level for this season. Bullish crop i'Htl mates by two prominent firms did a great deal to lift the value of corn in the face of somewhat lively realising by holders. Oats hardened with other grain. Immense receipts of nous weakened provisions, but a fair rally ensued, helped somewhat by the bulge In grain.

At the Mini time JChlcago had an' overhelming run. early I reports Indicating 4,uoO head at that point, with -prices prospectively IOjiJOJ lower. Kansas City also sent in reports of heavy runs, their early estimate be ing 30,000 head of cattle. With such un favorable advices from oiner seiuug points ths market here was very bsck ward about opening. Buyers were nat urally Incline to await reports from other selling points before doing any business of consequence. Whatever they did make early bids they were way lower, and a large part of ths forenoon had past before enough business had been transacted to really call It a market. The trade continued a a rag mrougnuut the day. Killing cattle were pretty gen erally ltxfj'juo lower, although the supply of really desirable beef was not very large, canner oowa showed leas decline than better grades, being close to steady In some cases.

Estimates called for 143 cars. or 10,000 neaa, this Deling twice as large as Sny recent Monday, and almost 6.000 heavier man for tns same time lasi rear. Estimated receipts of 80,000 at Chicago and pretty decent runs everywhere else, precipitated a sharp decline all around the loop this morning. Shipper buyers did not get in very heavily, and what hogs they bought luoked around Soft 260 lower than last week's close. Tops reached 96.40. a flat quarter below ths high pries at last week's close. Packers mads their first offers on a flat quarter lower basis. Little sold on first rounds, and by ths time the move ment started bids had been modified somewhat In most cases, so that when ths bulk of ths offerings began moving scale ward prices were In many Instanoes not over 20c lower, although in spots they were a quarter off. Quality was not ao good as at last week's close. In that light hogs made up the bigger share of tbo supply. Movement was, as general thing, fairly active, considering the slse of the decline. Local values are plenty high as compared with ths prices paid at other points, and sellers, realising that the local decline was In lino with ths break at other points, out loose with a degree of freedom onos a trading basis was established. Bulk sold at 96 164. 26. with quits a sprinkling of lights down to $41 .00, and a scattering even below that. There was a larger percentage of pigs In the day's run than on any one day in a long time, and prices broke sharply, looking anywhere from a quarter to too lower on ths few sales made during the earlier part of ths forenoon.
