CORN REACHES TOP
Phillips Sells to Check Advance,
Deemed Too Speedy.
He Has UNLOADED 100000 BUSHELS
Bull Leader Reserves SO Cent Mark for
the End-Farmers Aid BY Refusing
to Sell at Present Tempting Figures
July Corn Also in Deal.

Chicago, April 24.-George H. Phil
lips again demonstrated yesterday that
he holds the corn market in his grasp,
when by liberal sales he checked the
upward tendency of the market and
held the price for May delivery at ~
cents. 1t is the aim of the bull lead
er to prevent corn reaching the So
cent nit mark before May 1.
At one time during the morning ses-
sion it looked as though the half dollar
mark was about to become a reality,
and it was at this juncture that Phil
lips stepped in and by sales to the
anxious shorts kept the price at At
cents. The sales made by Phillips
were not large in themselves, reach
ing total of only 100000 bushels, but
they had the moral effect on the mar
traders were in the market more heav-
lily than Phillips.
Yesterdays price of May co n was
a record one. The top notch of the
previous day was 46A, and that toe,
was the high mark until yesterdays
sensational move put the price half
cent higher. 4t
corn's Advance Is Phenomenal.
Since last September May corn has
steadily recorded an advance, the rise
reaching 125s cents, starting with 34ss
cents in September and climbing up
ward in each succeeding month. Here
is the record by months.
Price in September .............. !. .34ast
Price in December 355ssc
Low mark in January ............ $685.
Price In February .............. .3Slhc
PRICE PRICE A Al % .... 44Nc to 4.ia{
Price yesterday ...............46 Acc to 47c
Diverse benefits accrue to Phillips
from his sales of yesterday. In the
first place, as his stock was put in at
prices considerably lower than those
now prevailing, every bushel of corn
he sells at the current rate brings him
a profit of from 5 to 8 cents. Again
he clarifies the market and allows the
settlement of trades which If they re
maiEed open would impede the opera
tions in the pit and might have disas
trous effect on the final operations in
| the deal.
Bull Leader Is Confident.
! That he will gain his end, the young
bull leader is confident. and he points
to the fact that he has a large follow
| Ing among the Traders from the cOun
try. His constituents are as confiden
as himself concerning the outcome and
are daily sending in orders for addi
lions to their holdings. Little May
corn is in the market, despite the higt
price to which it has advanced. Con
fiderce in the SO cent promise seems
unlimited and all who have corn il
stock are holding out for the RECORD
price, which they believe to be near

Soldier Cutting Scrape.

Monday morning last on the arrival of No. 8 from the west inquiry was made for an officer. Marshal Hanks and Constable Henley put in an appear ance and arrested Chas. Wartman, a returned soldier from the Philippines, on the charge of an assault to commit murder. He and another soldier named William Nordick had been wrangling for some time on the train, Wartman claiming that Nordick had robbed him of $55. This side of Canyon Diablo Wartman deliberately drew knife and made a slash at Nordick's throat, but missing his aim cut his cheek open. Wartman then got his grip, with the evident intention of dropping from the train before reaching Winslow. Some of the wounded mans friends, taking in the situation, covered Wartman with their guns, brought him to Winslow and turned him over to the officers. The offense was committed in Coco nino. Sheriff Johnson of that county was notified by wire of the Offense and arrest, and Under Sheriff Walker came down on Monday night, took the pris- oner, wounded man and some half dozen or more witnesses who had been detained to Flagstaff on No. ! Tuesday morning Mail.
 The case was tried here Tuesday be- fore Justice Quinlan, who gave Wart- man six months in jail.

WIND up or COURT.

Friday morning Chas Kendlen
was in court and changed plea u
not guilty to guilty. His attorney,
j. j. Parsons stated that it was the
desire of the boy to enter this plea
at first as he considered it the pro
per thing to do, but in order to gain
time for investigation and ON advise
of his attorney the consented to the
plea of not guilty. The prosecuting
attorney c. NJ. Crandall after duo
consideration of a the facts and cir
cumstances, requested the court to
extend such leniency as it oonsider-
ed advisable. Judge Brown, then

give them another chance. Nearly

A SMALLPOX WINTER.

Philadelphia Press: Smallpox is
winter disease. Ordinarially it
decreases in summer. In cold wealth
or, when homes are closed and heat
ed, when the poorer families are
crowded together in one warmed
room. when cars and other convey
ances are closed and heated, small
pox multiplies and spreads. No cold
kills it's germs and the winter months
give the most nervous cases.
Grave anxiety must therefore be
felt over the persistence of the dis
ease in our cities through the sum-
mer mon this and its steady spread
over the country. It is present in
this city in more than one def mite
group of cases. It is scattered over
the state, particularly in the mining
region. It exists in the middle
west. It has several centers in the
south.
The disease may die out in the brief
period be fore cold weather begins;
but we fear rapid rise in then
mum bre Of cases. The current type
is not virulent, but it is steadily
spreading, and in this city at least
the efforts to curb it's progress have
not been satisfactory.
Vaccination, general, universal
and ;unsparing, is the only protect
ion, both for the individual and the
public. A vaccination four, five or
more years ago is very unsafe
protection. Two vaccine scars are
safer than one; but are vaccination
is safer than either.
Care is needed. Cleanliness is in
dispensable and the number of
people careless in cleanliness is
more numerous than most think.
But given reasonable care and vac
cination has none of the risks with
which the ignorance Of fools and
the inauguration of faddists sur
round it. The person who does not
vaccinate and insist on the vaccina-
ton of every member of the house.
hold tempts providence and the
smallpox. It is unwise to do both.

JOBBER rREDICTH POTATOES
WILL GO 10 ~ BEFORE
N NEW CROP, j.. .-

J: A. Blondel, Of Blondel::& Hut.
Crimson, wholesale dealers in pota-
toes, predicts that the price Of pota-
toes. will go up to % a bushel before
the new potatoes begin to come to
market next spring. He has letters
in response to inquiries for potatoes,
stating that prices Of good qualities
on car are going up, and that the
crop is already nearly cleaned. out.
Two letters from large shipping
points in Minnesota, where. most
of the potatoes come from, state
that no more o1dres will be received
as so many are ahead to be filled.
:. 1.-THE cause for this is not only be-
cause of the shotness of the CROP"
said Mr.. Blondel, but it is because
of the fact that the large part of the
potatoe crop has been marketed
will not last long,. Their skins are
green and tender, and after thirty
days in the cellar they are almost
worthless. With the exception
marketed in Sioux City have been
of this character. The potato has a
tough skin, and inside it is mealy,
and they can be kept in cellar all
winter.
''Most of the potatoes we're mar
keted before they were ripe. They
were rushed into market because of
the scarcity of the vegetable in Aug
gust and September, whereas the
usual time for marketing potatoes is
in the latter part of October. When
the stock of these immature pOta-
toes has been exhausted, which will
be before the end of the winter,
grocer will be selling potatoes by
the pound, and next spring when
the farmers of the Missis ippi and
Missouri valleys are looking for
seed potatoes they will be more
scarce and dear then ever'
