TIE INJUNCTION MODIFIED.
Action of Court Against the Bull Operators IN
Grain
(By the Associated Press.)

Chicago. July 31.-Judge Chytraus today
modified the Injunction issued yesterday
restraining the Chicago Board OF lfade
and the board of trade operators, James
A. Patten, Darlington Patten 4 Company,
and Bartlett, Frazier & Company, from
conducting a corner in July standard
oats, by restraining the defendants from
asking the president of the Board or
Trade to endorse down margins deposited
by the c0mplainants, Waite Thorburn d
Company to secure so, 900 bushels Of
short sales. The court held a session
before the opening hour OF the Board OF
Trade in order that a decision might be
arrived at before business was begun.
So important, however, did the court
consider the precedent of the case that
the motion for a dissolution of the tenn
porary injunction was not considered and
the case will come UP for further ad-
Indication next week.
The effect of the action of the court
is for the time being to protect the
compliments against any alleged corner,
and is construed as working against the
| bull clique of operators on the board.
There was practically no effect on bust
ness in oats from the injunction. The
| assurance by Judge ChytrauS that or
/ binary business could be done by the
defendants and other members of the
| Board of Trade, acted as a check against
any early violent fluctuations. A notice
was posted on change interpreting the
| courts action as a dismissal of the in
junction against the Board of Trade, and
| stating that all business could proceed
| as usual. save in the matter of closing
! out deals with Thorburn, Waite & Co.
| The matter was considered held in
| abeyance.
Spectators on the board were all in
| Clined to comment unfavorably upon the
| appeal 10 the courts. The big bulls said
I If such a precedent was established
| there would be nothing but short sell
ing. If prices went down deliveries
would be made, but if the price went
ing to prevent them defaulting on their
/ contracts.
Apparently inundated by the posi-
Utilities Of having to answer to the court
if fictitious prices were pumped into July
oats all spectators allowed the manipu-
| lated July options in all grains to die
With a flash in the pan. July oats were
sold freely by the bulls and many of
the shorts covered, bringing a closing
price one cent up at 64 cents. The ia
nous July corn deal ended in a slump of
3 cents and closed at Sc. July whea was
delivered freely and prices slumped
sharply, losing at one time 6 cents.
The close was 53s cents down at 69M
cents. Other deliveries were weaker but
rot markedly so.

In works of fiction. science, natural his
tory, ct cetera,
Embracing works in every field by au-
thors of renown
His is of mans progressive thought the
greatest treasury.
His house is hardly large enough to hold
his reservoir
That overflows his study and invades
adjoining hooks,
And visitors gaze wonderingly upon his
volumes store
And envy him his menu of supremacy
luscious books.
But he. poor man. alas! This store Is
locked from his survey;
If he should live the limit of mans des-

He'd have no time to read: he must slave
fourteen hours a day
To meet the need; his books were bought
on the installment plan.

The Big Chrysanthemum.

All vanished are the flowers
That long their fragrance shed;
They withered with the
And all their beauty fled.
But now in all it's glory
We see another come,
And gladly we are hailing
The big chrysanthemum.
1t isn't much on fragrance,
For it's not built that way:
1t doesn't sWeeten breezeS
That oft around it play,
But gorgeous are the colors
And beautiful the hues
That nature on it laVished
To make it's charms profuse.
In modesty tits lacking
That virtue often praised
For it is forward pressing,
And high it's head is raised,
But there's sufficient reason
$50 For playing "rubberneck,"
Because it takes hat method
To show us it's on deck.
In foliage, too, tits lacking,
For there's but little green
That from it is projecting
Where its long stem is seen,
But leaves it's coldly spurning.
Preferring that they drop,
Directing all attention
To beauty that's on top.
In great Conservatives
1t reigns as queen of all.
The beauty it enhances
AT festival and ball.
'Tis waved as floral trophy
Where rules the football game,
And at all social functions
1t gets there just h same.
'Tis glorious in color.
Majestic in its mien,
And everywhere in autumn
1t reigns as floral queen.
When other flowers vanish,
We see this beauty come,
And joyously We're greeting
The big chrysanthemum.
