LACK OF BUYING SUPPORT
CAUSES DECLINE IN FUTURES
WHEAT is UNDER MODER-
ATE PRESSURE.
Increasing Stocks in Store and
Light Milling Demand Are
Bearish Factors.

Though cables opened higher and the
movement to the Northwest was slow.
most of the market conditions were bear
ish yesterday, and future values OF both
corn and oats closed on the decline. The
report of the Cincinnati Price-Current on
the progress and condition OF the crop was
favorable to the selling side. and farmers
offerings were rather free. Local re-
ceipts were heavy. and the stocks In store
here reached total Of more than 1000. go
bu. Trading was not heavy. but there
was steady selling pressure throughout the
session.

BOLD VIOLATIONS
No Restrictions on Chicken Shooting
in Rock County.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Luverne. Mimi, Aug. 2s.-This year
Rock county is reaping the reward Of q
policy Of negligence, either on the part Of
the proper authorities here, or Of the state
game warden in not providing deputy
game wardens turnout the county. This
policy has been pursued for two years, and
the result of it is now apparent in the
most fragrant violation of the state game
laws. During the past two weeks fire.
quent reports Of parties being out slaugh-
tering the young birds have been brought
in, yet no effort has been made to stop it.
It being generally understood that there
is not a game warden in the county, the
violations are frequent and the violators
very bold, and they have made but little
effort at concealing the fact that they
have been out killing chickens.
This open defiance Of the game laws is
having a demoralizing effect, and the
number of illegal hunters is increasing
daily, for they know there Is nothing to
fear from the proper authorities. It is
now claimed that when the season opens
there will not be a covey Of birds in the
county that has not been 'shot all to
pieces" The most bitter denunciation
of the policy that will permit such open
violation Of law is heard on every hand,
and unless those in authority make some
effort to enforce the game laws, those
hunters who believe in upholding the law
and who have thus far RETAINED from VIC
lating it will take some very decisive
steps.
Chicken hunting In this section is not
good at the best, as there Is but little
prairie land left and the fields are SO gen
orally fenced that hunting is made rather
difficult. and the hunters who do respect
the game laws OF the state feel that what
birds there are should be 50 protected that
all may enjoy the common permitted
