CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Lively Trading in Wheat-Advance In
July option-Corn Strong
BY Associated d Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June I'm sharp contrast
market today was strong from start to
finish. At the opening July was up u to
5s at S7% to S7I5.
Higher prices at Liverpool contributed
some strength to the situation, but the
most direct cause for the bullsh enthus-
iasm was a sensational advance at Mime
apolis. July wheat in that market made
gain of over cents within a few min
utes. Later the gain was increased to
over cents. Prices for cash wheat were
correspondlngly high, $1.2O a bushel being
asked for No. 1 northern.
From the action of the July option In
the northwest market many traders here
reached the conclusion that certain
large interest having failed to bring to
complete success a big deal in May
wheat had decided TO make an attempt
to corner the July delivery. Owning
practically all the cash wheat available
claimed, is in a position to carry forward
manipulation with a free hand.
Early trading in the Chicago market
disclosed a large short interest, the COW
S39sd1ac for July.
AS trading progressed some damage re-
ports were received from the winter
wheat section. Excellent weather, how
ever, offset the damage reports. Never
theless, with continued strength at Min
neapolis, prices here advanced still high
er. Late in the session July touched SOC.
Moderate realizing caused slight reac-
ton, but the close was decidedly strong,
with July 1%@174c higher at SSh@$,
Sentiment in the corn pit was bullish
the entire day. The same interest that
led in the bull campaign in May was an
active buyer of July today. July closed
1@11sc higher, at 50ss@hc.
The oats market was firm. July closed
ssc higher at 3OAc.
Packers were moderate purchasers OF
provisions today as a result of which the
market was strong. At the close July
pork was up 15c, lard was up TIC and
ribs were 71s@10c higher.

MIR. BONES APPOINTMENT

The nomination of Harry ]. Bone
or Ashland, for United States district
attorney for Kansas will meet with
approval from a vast number of
Kansas people, in spite of the fact
that he displaces a good oiNcial. So
far as the State Journal knows
nothing can be said against ]. s
Dean, the retiring district attorney
and Mr.. Bones extreme popularity
and the fact that Senator Long feels
indebted to him for his unswervine
loyalty in the past are doubtless the
influences that have landed him in
the coveted Office.
Probably few men could secure a
better line of personal endorsements
IN Kansas than Mr.. Bone. He has an
extremely wide acquaintance. and
with all factions he is popular His
ability is unquestioned, and he will
take into the Office of district attorney
the experience Of four years as assist
ant in the office. during which time he
handled much of the grand jury work
and aided in the prosecution of cases.
as well as the detail work of the Office.
Years ago Mr.. Bone took out a
working card in the Republican or
ganization of the Seventh district. and
he has always kept up his dues. He
attracted attention during his first
term in the legislature, ten years ago.
! and has been advancing steadily ever
since. Mr.. Bone has not neglected his
law business for politics. however, and
his practice brings him an income of
several thousand dollars a year.
J. S. Dean, who retires from the
Office after a service of four Years.
has, so far as the State Journal
| is informed, made a creditable record.
The only thing that might be urged
against him is that he was an an
pointee of J. r. Burton, but it can
be said in extenuation of this fact
that he was not Burtons first choice
and Mr.. Dean long ago lived down any
stigma attaching to him because of
the fact that Burton first nominated
him. Mr.. Dean viii retire from the
office with the respect of his state and
with the knowledge that it was
through no neglect or malfeasance If

THE INEVITABLE

Senator Burton's fate is pathetic and
is regretted by all familiar with his tai
ents and the future that was possible
for him in public life But it is the
natural and only ending of a career
shaped as Burton shaped his. His con-
ception of public Office was that it was
a means for private gain and he pur-
sued it along that line, without regard
to methods. Honor. fidelity, integrity,
a regard for his constituents and the
distinguished body of which he was a
member had no place in his considera-
ton. All he wanted was money and
his punishment was swift and certain.
Few men can go to the United states
senate, but going to jail is largely a
matter of choice. Burton won the dis
tinguishing honor of place in the SEN
ate but he chose to go to Jail, and lis
honor and disgrace are his.-Niami Re-
publican.
