CHICAGO GENERAL MARKET.
Chicago, May 1S-With the exception of

Corn closed Is cents higher; oats were
unchanged for July, and provisions at

slight decline, but the market soon rail-

was fairly good buying early. while offer

tent by the cold weather, smaller north

sold condition of the market. There was
ganized, that also acted as a stimulating
factor, one operator being credited with

The California crop report was quite

start, and the crowd became long
Gables were fat and depressed, out
side markets also very weak and some
of the early buyers sold out, and prices
declined sharply in consequence On the
reaction that followed, however, the loss
was overcome, the market closing near
the top.
In. corn, the tone of the start was rath-
er firm, but weakened later on and closed
fairly steady. The early strength was at

trades were trifie in advance, and sold

In oats there was an unsettled feeling

prices were slightly lower but they firmed
up, the packers supporting the market.

Washington, May 1S.-White-winged
peace lowered over the Senate today.
AS a result of the compromise reached
at last nights drawn battle, the reso-
luton to inaugurate longer hours, be-
ginning next Monday, commencing at
10 a. m, was agreed TO, and the Senate,
for the first time since the tariff de-
bate began, settled down to real earnest
work on the schedules of the tariff.
For five hours, the consideration was
steadily pushed, the result being eleven
pages of the bill were disposed gilmore
progress than has been made in the
entire three weeks during which the
bill has been considered by paragraphs.
The chemical schedule" was COM
pleted and the earth, earthenware and
glass schedule, excepting pages 1892 in
elusive, which were passed over by
agreement. was finished.

lures of iron and steel, had peen
reached when the Senate at O'CLOCK
went into executive session.
The Republicans won their first vic
tory today in their attempt to secure
higher rates than those gran{eo by Inc ts
majority. They induced the Democrats
to take rough building and monu-
mental stone, lime stone, free stone,
granite, sandstone, etc, from the free
list and place them on the dutlable ISL
at Z cents per cubic foot, and to In
crease the duty on this class OF dressed
stone from 20 to 80 per cent. ad val
orem.
The feature of the day was the de-
NAL of half a dozen Republican SEN
ators that any agreement had been
reached to allow the bill to ultimately
come to a vote, and the bold announce
ment of Messrs. Frye and Dolph tnat
they stood ready to go to any length
and use any parliamentary methods to
defeat the passage of the bill.

Joe Sloan knew it all. You will notice
the past tense is used. Well, thereby
hangs an encyclopedia Of experience,
and that's why Joseph is not so posi-
tive as once he was. When Hiram
Martin entered school Joseph was in
the prime of his knowledge. Hiram
was simple child of nature who wore
paper collars and madeup neckties with
pasteboard backs. When he read he
kept the place on the page with his
finger, and when anyone made a mis-
take Hiram was anxious to point it
out, for, having taught school himself
in the country, he felt a natural SYM
patty with the teacher and did not
like to see him trifled with. So Joe
decided that it would be a good idea
to have a little fun with Mr.. Martin,
and he affected to be insulted at some
remark of the country boys and chal-
lenged him to duel. The other boys
told Hiram that the only thing to do
was to fight and accordingly seconds
were selected and pistols were chosen
for the work of death. The whole
school was called out to see the
spectacle, and Mr.. Joseph Sloan didn't
sleep any the night before for the
Laughing fits which sliced him and
convulsed him at the thought of the
morrow The smart fellows hired bug
gies and, carried banners to the scene
of the duel, and each of the high COM
batting parties had a, hack to himself

of poke berry ink that was to squirt

one knew the programme save the

Weekly Review Of trade tomorrow gyir
say:
The obstacles to improvement do not
lessen. The strikes of coal miners and
coke workers have not ceased, but have
caused the stoppage of numerous works
this week, and embarrassment of some
railroads. The conference at Cleveland
exhibited much angry feeling and wide
differences, and seems to render agree
ment more distant.
Proceedings in the Senate do not indi
cate that the latest from the tariff re-
vision has made speedy final action prob
able Yet the recuperative ability OF the
country is so great that the volume of
business transacted is large, and seems
surprisingly so under the circumstances
Notwithstanding influences which. in any,
other land, would cause dire disaster
Wheat sold at 81 cents for Nav and 577s
for July. though western receipts have
been only 12l5,543 bushels for the week
against 6, s13.936 last year Exports were
but 791. 227, against zoos 1874 bushels LAST
year, and the fact that gold goes instead
of wheat at 81 cents. or cotton AT 81 10
cents, has more weight than the rapidIy

New York, MAY 1S.-Bradstreets F'inan-
cial Review tomorrow VIII say:
Investments and speculation are still at
tended by uncertainty and hesitation
The market is consequently very restrict
ed. and displays a little irregularity in
its movements. The past week, however,
has developed increased activity and in
terest in the share list.
The weak element in the market con-
tinueS to be the securities OF the bank
rIIpt companies, the shares of which are
liable to assessment In view of the
eSSary to require in many instances, there
has been considerable liquidation in this
class of holdings. The decline thus pro-
dIced seems to be Independent Of the pres
sure which bear operators have exercised
on some of the leading Granger stocks
In the latter instance the movement was
invited in view of the severe cutting of
rates throughout the west and has been
conducted in the face of a settlement of
the trouble, on the theory that the de-
cline of wheat makes il impossible for the
roads to levy, in The future, as high
cFaTgeS as in the past. This week is the
third in succession in which there has
been no material gain in volume of bust
ness, and practically no Improvement on
prospect for trade in the near future
although pleasant weather has favored re-
tail lines in many directions.
JcDberS in staple goods have not found
q corresponding increase in demand Con-
Hnued uncertainty regarding tariff legis-
staple lines. This, is largely responsible
for the reduction in volume of bank clear
ings.
Net railroad earnings for March fail to
reflect the encouraging features, which it
was thought would grow out of enforced
economies on the part OF railroad com
panies. Gross and net alike are found to
reflect heavy decreases.
The total gross earnings of $50 railroads
for the first quarter of 1924 aggregate
Sl4c.6O0,00O, and net $685. 200, which are
decreases from 1893 respectivelv of IL . and
15.71.
For March alone. the decrease in gross
and net were respectively IA and 1887.
The total available stock of wheat Can
ada and Europe, af1oat for Europe from all
sources and Australia show a decrease of
about 100000 bushels during the past six

Sugar Bounty, Pension Frauds, and
Members Pay.
Washington, May 1S.-soon after the
House met today, it found itself with
a filibuster on its hands. caused by
motion to consider appropriation bills
running counter to the private bills.
The legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation bill was taken up after
an agreement had been reached to close
the general debate at the hour of b
o'clock, and that the House would ad-
journ over Saturday.
The discussion of the bill opened up
several interesting and important ques-
tons, among them being the sugar
bounty question, the pension frauds in
vestigation, and the reduction of mem
bers pay for absence.
The discussion, of the sugar bounty
question was brought about by the
omission from the pending bill of the
provision of the sugar bounty assess
orS.
Mr. Boatner, of Louisiana, gave no
tice that he would offer an amendment
providing that the secretary Of the SEN
ate and the sergeant-at-arms should
respectively deduct from the monthly
pay Of each member and delegate the
amount of his pay for every day he
was absent without leave except on &C
count of sickness of himself or family.
Representative Cannon questioned the
prepriety and courtesy of the House,
declaring by its actions to senators that
there was not going to be any sugar
bounty in the next fiscal year.
Mr.. Bingham, taking as his text the
appropriation of 100000 in the last
appropriation bill for investigating the
alleged pension frauds, made an at
tack on the pension policy of President
Cleveland and Commissioner Lochren.
At o'clock d recess was taken until
8 o'clock this evening.

guileful Hiram; he was supposed to
be foolish. It was arranged that half
the fellow students should crowd
around their bleeding comrade while
the other half as constableS gathered
in the assassin.
The distance was formally stepped
off-Sloan and Hiram walked seriously
to their places. The signal for firing
was the dropping of a handkerchief.
BangI
Bang
Two revolvers rang out and Joe
Sloan fell with a dramatic groan,
squirting pokeberry ink like geyser.
The crowd was rushing up when,
with howl of desperation and quick
as a flash, Hiram Martin reached in
his trousers pocket and had two fresh
pistols leveled at the crowd.
His hair was dishevelled and his
voice harsh as he said before pulling
the first trigger:
Darn you! You men got me into
this and won't hang no higher ner
no deader fer two of you or a dozen
of you than one. Take that? RangD
Yes, and that
Another bang resounded as the
strange pistols flashed.
FOR an instant there was eonsterna-
t1on; then as the first shot cracked
and the revolver pointed toward the
otowo' Lnere was panlc-mad furious
panic. The horses were left hitched at
the renee and the crowd broke for
town. Joe Sloan forgot to bleed and
Jumped and ran for his very life while
the patterng of his heels beat synco-
pated time with the rattle of the pis-
toll Soon the battle ground was de-
serted and as Hiram put his own pis-
lois IN his pockets he said, as he got
IN a buggy that had been left by the
vanishing crowd:
-, Come out of the grass, Sam, it's
cartridges stampede a herd like that
They's more ways Of KILN a. cat then

and Hiram and his friend put their
feet over the dash board and drove
