CHICAGO. April live have had another
surprise in the wheat pit to-day, the low gov
eminent estimate having been more than off,
set by the fine weather. The sudden and
sharp break from CSC for May to 641tc was
attributed to heavy selling by Armour & CO.
This, of course is all conjecture, but the
close OF the market Is evidence some one
has been selling, and the offerings towards
the close came when there were but few buy
ing orders to take care of them. Crop re-
ports, so far as we learn, show no improve
ment; stocks at the seaboard light, for
eign markets are firm, but withal few have
confidence TO buy wheat and hold It. 1t may
be the proper thing to sell it. although We
cannot recommend IL.
Corn opened quiet. at closing prices Of yes
terday, but soon became weak on selling by
local longs under influence of fine weather
Shorts the only buyers. Feeling Is easy.
Oats opened firm. The market soon be-
came weak on fine weather influence and SELL
ing out OF July by some Of the buyers OF yes
terday. Market was weak.
Provisions opened strong and a shade high
err Buying was mostly for outside account.
During the session considerable was done in
the way of changing. Some coverings by To-
cal operators advanced prices, when packers
relieved the demand. Later decline in grain
weakened the market.

The market opened fairly active and higher.

were buying and the supply was soon ex-
hausted. The closing was fully steady with

"You're excused" said Judge
Camp, and Hardy turned toward

just leaving the room. "But you're
fined," finished Judge Camp.
"But your Honor l had a punct-

"a what ?" queried the court in
amazement.

TIE Gas worries INVESTIGATION.


Our Republican friends in Council in
their efforts to- cast discredit upon the
last administration of the Gas Board
are a triae unjust in that they magnify
the natural results of a lax system and
lay them an at the door of the former
Gas Board. which is in no way more
responsible than the present Board. In
this the Republican leaders in the city
government are disingenuous.
The investigating committee is in no
way to blame for this, for its report
was mutilated in Council for political
reasons. The committee reported the
result of it's findings fairly. the Regis
ter believes. and they laid the blame on
the present Republican Gas Board
equally with their predecessors. and in
pursuance of this just finding. called
upon the present Board to resign in
their report as il was sent to Council.
For partisan political reasons, how
ever, Council or rather. certain inter-
ested leaders OF Republican politics in
Council. saw fit to strike out this emil
renty just and fair recommendation
of the investigating committee, in or
der that The blame might be made to
appear TO rest wholly upon the last
administration.
As TO the substance of the report, it
shows simply. as We have said the re-
suits OF a lax system, which should
Dee changed as soon as possible. and
nothing else. No one. least of all the
Investigators. themselves. believe there
was dishonesty in any of the Uansac-
tions noted

tin Dayhuff is down 1900 feet and will
be drilled in to-day. The well is test
of the deep sands and is being watched
by oil men with great interest. A
splendid showing of oil was found at
a depth of 400 feet the depth of the
wells drilled in the field years ago and
if oil in good quantities is not found
in the deep sands. the well will be a
splendid producer from the upper sand.
The we'll on the Lewis Ogdin farm
at Waverly which was drilled in last
night by Afford & Baer, of Wheeling.
is good for over 200 barrels day in the
Berea sand. This we'll is the first
deep well drilled in the Waverly field,
which is a shallow field, and operators
have been looking on with great in
terest.
The strike caused a great deal Of ex-
element at Waverly, and the company
made two additional locations on the
same lease. and rigs will at once be
erected. The greasy fluid was found
at a depth of 1925 feet in the Berea
sand. and the we'll is just two miles
southeast of the big Ralston gas well
and a short distance east Of the Head
ley gas well.
Three more deep wells are being
drilled in the field and the strike of
Afford & Baer is considered very i'm
portant and proves that the deep sand
is paying one.
