CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Wheat Prices Were Firm at Opening
but May Dropped to $1t3 5s9

CHICAGO Jan. 4.-Innueuced by
higher cables and an Improvement In
cash demand for both wheat and -four.
the wheat market opened firm. May
was up "a to h03s at $t14M to N14h
6I14%. Commission houses were fair
buyers. Many of yesterdays sellers
reinstated their lines during the first
few minutes of trading. At the time
offerings were comparatively light and
among the reasons for the tenacity of
the longs were the bullish crop reports.
AS the day advanced pit traders sold
more freely, but the market eased off
considerably, May declining to $113B
During the last part of the session,
however, sentiment again became
bullish.
Southwestern reports denote practl-
cal exhaustion of winter wheat, Kan
sas City and st. Louis today only re-
ceiving $1,000 bushels. Today primary
receipts were little more than half
what they were q year ago. The prin-
cipal factor, however, i'm the late sit
uation was a decrease of 2561, 900
bushels in the worlds available stocks.
The market closed at practically the
highest point of the day Final quo
tation on May was about $1145sM
1.149s.
Liberal receipts and large increase
in the worlds visible supply made
sentiment In the corn pits bearish.
May opened unchanged to a lower at
44ss@441ac, sold off to 441sc and closed
at the opening price.
Weakness of corn was the govern
ing factor of the oat market. May
opened a shade to hMA lower at 311sM
31Ac, and rallied within the opening
ring, the close being at 31Ac.
Provisions were weak throughout
the entire session. At the close all

WILL FIND SOME WAY.
If Not Criminal Prosecution, Then
 Another Method.

Washington. July 11.-Acting Attor- ney General Hoyt received from Secre- tary of Agriculture Wilson today the papers in the cotton report investiga tion. Subsequently the papers were placed in the hands of United States District Attorney Morgan H. Beach who will probe into the whole subject and make a thorough inquiry embracing every detail connected with the com pilation of the statistics involved. MT. Beach declined to say anything on the subject tonight. but 1t is understood that tho investigation which he will conduct will be begun In earnest to- morrow and will cover both the local and administrative features ofsthe incl dent District Attorney Beach had already examined the report and will now take active direction of the next proceedings looking to prosecutions of the guilty parties
 MT. Hoyt stated today that he had been urged by Secretary Wilson to probe the matter to the bottom and use any means at his command to get at the true condition and to bring all guilty persons to trial.
 MT. Hoyt and MT. Beach have already been in communication and 1t will be determined whether there Is any statute under which criminal prosecution may be directed against Edwin S. Holiness the former assistant statistician of the Department of Agriculture. who was dismissed. 1t is alleged, because he "juggled" figures in the government crop estimates and furnished advance information to New York brokers and against any others that may be found implicated. In case criminal prosecu- tion Is not possible, some other way to reach the guilty parties is to be sought.

 About s:30 o'clock columns of smoke were seen rising from the furniture house of s. C. whitaker and a wind blowing from the south drove the flames through the furniture store of M. Gilbreath, then across the alley into the grocery store of A. R. Hooper & co. After this had burned, the large store of Sam Henry X Son went. Here the new walls of the large new progress of the flames:
 All this time the fire had worked south through the office of Emmet Gil- breath, the grocery store of John Gil- breath and then destroyed the Bank of Guntersville's building and the con- tents.
 No one gives a solution as to how the fire originated. The losses are es- timated as follows:
 Bank of Guntersville, 5000. no in- surance; John Gilbreath. $6,000. no in surance; S. c. Whitaker. loss un- known; Emmet Gilbreath. $1.000. no insurance Mont Gilbreath. $3,o00. in. surance, s700; A. R. Hooper Co.,. $4.000. no insurance: Sam Henry & Son. $18.- 900, insurance. s9.000; J. D. Holt & Son, $1,00O. no insurance,
 A heavy rain which fell during all the afternoon before saved the rest of the town, as 1t undoubtedly prevented the fire from crossing Broad Street.

norie Now Nd nnnkrupt.

Chicago. July J1.-John Alexander Dowie today had all bankruptcy pro- cedings against him dismissed in the United States District Court by Judge s. H. Bethea. The petition in bank ruptcy originally made by the H. B. Smith Machine Company was annulled upon the recommendation of Referee in Bankruptcy s. c. Eastman. The ma chinery company had failed to comply with the courts order to file m amend ed petition. As none of the other pc titioning creditors have complied with the courts order to amend. all peti- tions were declared to be no longer in force.
 According to Dowie's attorney. all of the claims mentioned in the original petition. amounting to something like s40o, 900, have been substantially paid off with interest. More than a year and a half has been consumed in the controversy.
