ST. Louis April Moses Freeley,
the well known broker, is again in
financial trouble. He has been the
heaviest "short'' in May wheat in
this market for a month past, and
today the course of the market
proved too much for him. A failure
to respond 10 the margin calls was
the first intimation the trade had
that he was in trouble. He had
laid down on his contracts, as he
had twice before, refusing TO carry
them any further. Freeley has
been a strong bull and n firm be-
lever in higher prices. AS the
market did not 20 his way, he si,'i-
denly turned bearish. The market
has been going against him ami cul-
minated today in an advance Of {
cents. The news Of the failure
caused considerable excitement on
Change.

A LAND FRAUD.

Secretary Noble, has rendered an
opinion on the report OF the board
appointed by Commissioner Croft

inc the facts and circumstances con-
corning theissIe in November, 1883,
to Thomas Reed Of a patent for ll2
acres of land, said to contain valu-
a lie mineral deposits in the Duluth,
Mimi, land district. The invest
igatIon was based upon the fact that
at the time the patent was Issued
the question Of title Of land was
pending before the Department.
After reviewing the fact presented
by the board, the Secretary severely
condemns the action Of the parties
who, to anticipate, it is intimated, an
adverse action by the Department,
procured q record Of the patent at
Duluth land office at Sis O'Clock in
the afternoon Of the day on which
the Commissioner had at 4 O'Clock

Land Office clerk who approved the
entry for the patent inexplicably
neglected his duty and must be dis

business violated the strict rules that
should have controlled him; that the
attorneys in the case Harrison,
Herring & SEYMOUR, who were
acting for Hartman and Mallet
Reeds graptees, when they knew
the patent to be Illegally issued,
renders IL proper and necessary that
their professional conduct be in
quired into under the rules Of the
Department, which entitle them to
a further hearing on due notice."
