Chicago, July Wheat--The fine
weather turnout the country, talk of in
creased movement of new wheat and
reports that Russia had made apology
to England were influences against
wheat bulls today. There was a break
of u in July and ! to Il in other de-
ltveries, and only a small recovery be-
fore the close. There was LOT of
wheat put out after the opening ad-
vance, and the market did not take it
well, in fact there was an entire alb
sence of support until the extreme de-
cline had been reached Buying then
by early sellers caused recovery Gem
mission houses sold on stop orders and
some of the recent bulls decided to take
their profits. Crop news was some
what more assuring, but bad from sec

strong early, but lost the advance on
the pacific attitude of Russia. Rece pts
at primary points are on the increase.
Cash demand was fair.
Corn--The market fell off with
break in wheat and there was n rather
a weak market after the opening. The
crowd was bearish on prospects and
sold freely when wheat started down.

All Glasses of Buyers Took Hold
Freely In the Cattle Mar
ket Today
DESIRABLE LOTS ADVANCED
Demand for Hogs Was Very Poor and
Not Many Were Wanted by the East
ern Shippers-Prces Ruled About 10
to 20 Cents Lower-sheep Slow at
Lower Prices.

Chicago July 20.-Demand was ac-
tive this morning. all classes of buyers
taking hold freely aud prices firmed
up, advancing 10 cents on desirable
lots.
Country shippers are wise in holding
back stockers and feeders, for 1t is very
doubtful ii it could be sold at all should
it come here in heavy volume. Buyers
who need the stock are afraid to take
hold with the air SO full OF uncertain
ty and so at the present time business
is almost at standstill. Local dealers
have less than a thousand cattle on
hand and most OF them are poor in
quality.
Until local buying of cattle is re-
sumed under normal conditions coun-
try owners Of medium grade steers
should hold such at home. as there is
no reliable demand for that class at
present, and when sold these have to
go at prices generally far below their
value. Shippers have only been taking
good fat steers and the medium grades
have generally sold to city butchers
and smaller slaughterers, who have in
sisted on wide concessions IN prices
These grades are now selling close to
the lowest of the year, and traders say
that such cattle should be held and
fattened. When settlement OF the
present labor difficulties Is attained
and trade is again resumed on a broad
scale there will likely he scarcity OF
good fat beeves and latter will likely
meet good demand. while common and
medium corn fed grades will meet
rather severe competition from west
ern range steers which promise to be
Of unusually good quality this season.
Hogs.
Demand was very poor. and with
light eastern shipping demand prices
ruled 10M20 lower.
Experience last week inclined good
many shippers to hold back hogs OF big
weight. Even the prime heavy met
with very unreliable demand at this
time, and the big coarse heavy OF the
packing class are at most times at the
mercy of few buyers OF packing hogs.
as the purchases OF the big packers
who are in the trade Mt all are con-
fined mostly to the medium mixed
class, a portion of which can be
worked into stock for the fresh meat
trade. This condition has induced
many local statesmen 20 send advice to
the light and medium or nothing heav-
Ter than the strong weight mixed class.
as the outlet for anything heavier at
this time is uncertain. Hogs of big
weight have dragged OH the market
here recently at s5.00@515, while the
prime 100 pound light and the 800
pound smooth medium class sold read

Sheep,
There was a moderate general de-
mand at recently reduced prices.

A Dangerous Market.

Chicago, July 20.-Since the packing
house strike has been in force at Chica-
go, all interests have warned country
shippers to hold off liberal consign-
ments of stock as there was not suffi-
cient demand from small buyers to care
for any but slim offerings. The result
has been that prices for about all lines
Of stock have held up well, while hog
values in particular have made a big
gain, tops selling yesterday at $500,
while bulk of good grades went at $3.50
ASS. Other markets have done less
warning in regard to the capacity or
the demand without liberal buying by
packers, and In the past few days re-
ceipts at some OF the river" markets
have been about up to normal. while
buyers have pounded values with a
vengeansce. Kansas City in particular
has furnished a rather expensive ex-
ample of market without demand,
prices there having fallen off very
sharply. with top hogs selling Tuesday
at s5221s, while the best grades at Chi
cage landed at $3.50.
One of the leading local statesmen
said. IL had nineteen loads OF cattle
here Monday and sold all but one load
to the local packers, but the situation
is still a dangerous one for country
shippers. The three-day stretch of hot
weather shut off the demand for meats
with a bang. Eastern markets have
been crowded with cattle and sheep
at the start this week. and about the
only urgency in demand is for the
handy grades Of shipping hogs II Is
certain that the demand for shipping
cattle the balance of this week VIII be
much less urgent than that of last week
and the strength Of the market VIII de-
pend more upon the ability of packers
to handle stock.

MISSING GIRL FOUND
Grace Munroe, Who Disappeared From

to Walk Home.

Special to Times Republican.
Hampton, July 20.--Aiiss Grace Mum
roe who has been missing for the past
ten days. and whom it was feared had
been waylaid, arrived home last night
She tells a very pitiful story of her
treatment at Fulda Mimi, where she
was visiting. and of her trip home She
saws that the people with whom she
was visiting took all her money away
from her and that they would not let
her leave. She managed to steal away
one day and then started to walk home,
a distance of nearly 200 miles. After
walking thru an unknown territory
for three days she told her story to
a benevolent station agent. who fur
nished her with enough money to get
home. She is very nervous and ex-
citable girl, and her treatment there
by her supposed friends, with her long
hard journey home, has almost broken
her down in health. Her parents are
amazed at the treatment which she re-
celved by the people who We're formerly
neighbors of the Munroes here IN

Severe Criticism OF the Management OF
Finances Of the Order.
Cincinnati, Ohio, July Pow. J.
q Brien. Jr of Baltimore, was elected
grand exalted ruler by majority Of
$40.
Cincinnati July 2o.-There have
here regarding the absence of Grand
Secretary Reynolds, Of Saginaw, and
his announcement that he is not a cam
didate for re- election, but the climax
came yesterday afternoon, when the re-
firing Exalted Ruler Tanning most se-
verely criticised his administration of
the Office and caused a sensation in de-
nouneing certain features OF it, Grand
Treasurer Needs in his report criti-
cises the financial system of the order.
He suggests the various committees
should be called together by the grand
exalted ruler only and that he should
be held responsible for business trans
actions and expenses coming from
such meeting. He refers to the ban
quet rendered the grand exalted ruler
by New York Lodge No. l, Feb. 16. On
that occasion fourteen members of the
grand offices attended the meeting and
turned in bills amounting to $l,S60. He
also criticises the statement of indiyid-
ual expenses of those who attended the
Baltimore reunion. He thinks the
grand lodge should get down to a mile
age basis.
The exposures over the alleged ex-
travagance in the expense of certain
officers and a discrepancy between diff
ferent reports caused much agitation
among visiting Elks. The secretary re-
ported the expense Of the grand exalt-
ed ruler as $500; the treasurer made
/. sS.s5s. The secretary reported his
own expenses s6503, the treasurer
SS,614. The treasurer reports his own
expense at S414, while the secretary
said it was only SGT. The discrepan-
cies, 1t is expla inedi are due to the de-
moralized condition of the secretary's
records.
No such explanation is given of the
charges of Grand Treasurer Needs ex-
travagance. Needs reports SO district
deputies drew s3039 at the Baltimore
reunion last year, while the standing
committees and grand lodge drew
s11,o52.
Judge o'Brien. the new head OF the
order, said last night that the auditing
committee had explained the financial
affairs satisfactorily; that there was
nothing to the sensational reports. and
that the discrepancies We're due to in
