WHEAT VALUES ARE EASY
ON SATURDAY LIQUIDATION.
CORN ALSO is ON THE
DOWNTURN.
Big Crops and Generally Bearish
News Cause Moderate
RecessiOns.


After a short season Of buying at the be-
ginning of the session. the local market
eased off and closed dull and lower. The
manipulators. who have been putting up
prices for several days. were inactive, and
the shorts apparently had covered. Small
GENERATORS were inclined to take profits
on small advances. and there was the
usual Saturday liquidation. News was
rather favorable to the selling side. Re-
ceipts were large and local stocks in store
were on the increase. The little buying
done was on the strength of dry weather.
May wheat opened 1-1Sc of and sold at:

Corn was dull and weak throughout the
session. The orange-Judd estimate that
the 1903 crop was more than 1000 900
bushels helped the downward movement.
Local receipts were light and cables were
a trif1e higher.

Explosion at Camp No. Z,

About 10 o'clock last Sunday morn.

Creek, twelve miles west OF Versailles,
the details Of which cause the average
citizen to wonder that no direct fatali-

Troy, accompanied by Edward Robin.
son and Ice Enlow, had just put in u
shot and returned to the Camp with n
box Of powder and dynamite. While
they were converting within few
yards of the box IA terrific explosion
took place which tore up things gcncr-
orally about the camp, and all three OF
the men received injuries, that of Ed
ward Robinson being the most scri-
Gus.
IL is supposed by the workIncn that
live slow fuse came in contact with
| the powder and dynamite, causing the
explosion. A niece of the metal fra,s,
| "A dynamite cap struck Edward Robin
son in the left breast and the force
drove the missile into the lung, ruptur-
ing blood vessel, the injury haying
the appearance Of gunshot wound,
the blood flowing freely.
George Troy and Lee Enlow were
both bruised and nanglcd nbout the
face and head, but neither sustained
serious injuries. Drs Williams and
