SHERIER, Local Forecaster. An important announcement was re ceived by the local Y. M. C. A. this morning, from the International head quarters at New York, giving informa tion concerning the International con vention to be held In the spring. This convention, as originally planned, was to have been at Los Angeles In May, but the plans have been changed, and the meeting will be held at Cincinnati, instead. The announcement runs aa follows: "The Panama-Pacific exposition to be held in San Francisco In 1915, to gether with other Important consid erations, has led the Los Angeles as sociation and the international commit tee to agree to a transfer of the in ternational convention invitation from Los Angeles from 1913 to 1915. A cordial invitation for the 1913 conven tion has been extended by the Cin cinnati association, and has been ac cepted by the international committee. The exact date for the meeting is not yet determined, but in all probability May 15-18 will be decided upon." This announcement is very welcome to association men of the middle west, as it will make it possible for many of them to attend fhe convention who would have been unable to go to Los Angeles. It is likely that some of the local workers will attend the meeting at Cincinnati. The coming convention is to be one of great importance to the association movement, as several vital questions will be up for discussion and decision. Among other things, the movement to arrange for a uniform membership fee for all the American associations will demand attention, and it is possible that the convention may take action which will lead to the establishment of a definitely fixed rate of charge for membership, no matter in what asso ciation it may be held.

Newspapers do not believe wheat situation bullish out side of war changes, but expect fur ther dip buying, as prices are low. Firmness in oats is expected, as de liveries on December oats will not be large. War news is more reassuring this morning. A large war will evi dently be prevented. A winter cam paign is not desired. London cables say Austria and Servia are more ami cable than since the war started. Corn receipts will have to bulge right off if an upturn In corn is to be prevented. I believe December and May corn are on neutral ground. There has been a lot of bear noise in products for three months, but hogs are still worth 7 to 7 cents, and the packers do not know where they stand on his winter pack. If he was confident of a big run he would stll. Decatur sends special report covering central Illinois. Dealers offer 36 to 38 for corn and 26 to 28 for oats, and are buying absolutely nothing. Farmers have set tie price as 40 and 30. Also December will see very little corn move in central Illinois at less than 40 cents to the farmer. Central Illi nois Is ao steady a reporter of farm ers demanding 40 cents at the crib that the reports must be respected. Looks as if the cream was gone from the bear side of corn, better buy on dips. MORNING STOCK LETTER. New York, Nov. 25 The London market is lower again this morning, due to some further uneasiness over the Balkan situation, notwithstanding the fact that a week s armistice has Juet been signed between Turkey and Bulgaria. Vienna seems to show the greatest anxiety over the outcoms. The most important news over the week end is the finding of the arbitra tion board, granting the engineers' de mands. This is a result not altogether unlocked for, and may In the long run prove a blessing for the railroads, in that it will give them an opportunity to present a new and a strong case to the interestate commerce commission for an increase In the freight rates. News from the business world con tinues of a decidedly satisfactory na ture, the market at the moment seems to be largely under the influences of the European political situation, and will probably take ita lead to a large extent from the attitude of the foreign bourses.
