CHICAGO. January 16.-Weak cables
and the continued heavy movement
were factors in a slump which the
wheat market took to-day. May clos
ing h@1Ac lower. Corn closed IA
@ssc and oats $@Ac lower. Provis-
ions at the close were 12E@27hc de-
pressed.
May wheat opened 1s@3sc lower at
1878 0763sc, mainly because Liverpool
showed full response to the decline
on this side yesterday. The crowd,
however was inclined to keep a keen
eye on Wall street a curb on their
speculative desires rather than on the
legitimate situation. 70 buying from
that quarter was attributed to the
bulge Of week ago and to the with
drawal of this support is credited the
recent declining tendency of the mar
ket. At the opening selling 10y a house
supposed to represent Wall street
brought out all sorts of small stuff and
May dropped to 76%@kc. Here the
pressure eased and on reports of eX-
port engagements the market gradual
ly rallied to 1870. Attempted realiz-
ing showed a startling lack of demand
ard the market fell sharply The de-
cline caught stop loss orders and near
the end of the session, May touched

ported 81 loads taken. Seaboard clear

with $4,000 bushels last year. Min
neapolis and Duluth reported 322 cars
against 2S1 last week and 231 a year
ago. Local receipts were 60 cars, none
OF contract grade.
Corn was dull and easier, partly on
the improved weather Country &C
ceptances were light and the cash de-
mand was fair, but business was cur
tailed by the scarcity of cars. May

Oats were moderately active. but
easier with wheat, although the cash
demand was fair. Receipts were PIG

Provisions were heavy on liberal hog

Man Punished for Assauliing
Another for Not Striking,

Chicago March 2o.-Judge Jesse Hol-
dom, in decision rendered in a labor
union assault case growing out of a
strike, upheld in forcible language the
right Of any man to work at any labor
with which he is satisfied.
The case was that of Albert Hill of the
Lathers' Union. who was charged with
assaulting James Kelly, another member
of tho union, because of his refusal TO
stop work on a building where "a strike
was In progress.
The defendants attorney pleaded with
the court that inasmuch as his client al
ready bad served some time In jail and
had suffered as much as Kelly from the
fight he should not be punished any
more.
"No: the matter is more serious than
YOU think returned Judge Holdom.
THE assault and battery is not so se-
rious in itself, but there is a great prin-
ciple at stake-the principle Of the per-
sonal liberty guaranteed us by the con-
stitution.
when Kelly was at work on a contract
with which no was satisfied neither the
president OF the United States nor any
other individual has "A right to interfere

OF tho union. as was Hill. He had n
