The Spread Between May and
July Now a Matter for
Speculation. t..,H

Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce,
March 20.--Wheat was uncertain thru
the first two hours of today's trading,
selling down at first, and then up.
Both May and July moved up and down
together and there was no change IN
the spread. That May and July wall
get closer together is the expectation
of those who base conclusions upon
the speculative situation, They feel
that May wheat will go off at times
and that as May approaches the press
ure upon that option will be heavier
than in July, while new buying will 60
more into the later month. All do not
crops reports may run so FAVORABLE that
July will be affected and will sell down.
while May, being more a supply and
delivery proposition, will suffer less
The present difference of 3 cents, they
think will hold and it may even widen
to the former view, and look
for May and July to work closer to.
gether and for July ultimately to sell
above May. =.

HER PITTFUL CONDITION.
Wichita Woman Thinks Her Heart Is
Buried With Her Child.

Wichita. Kan. Nov. Full convine-
ed that she has left this terrestrial
sphere and has passed out of the earth
ly body, Mrs. Mary L. Bennett, of Bent
ley, has positively refused to partake
Of any nourishment excepting water,
for a week. She is impressed with the
belief that she is a spirit and as
spirit does not need food. Mrs. Bennett
was pronounced insane at her trial in
the probate court Monday afternoon.
The woman is the wife of ]. L. Ben
net, a weli-to-do farmer of Bentley,
and was brought to the county Jail ac-
companied by her husband and several
friends who were interested in her case.
She was so weak from exhaustion and
refusal to take food of any kind that
it was feared she would die at any
time. DR.. G. K. Purves was called by
Sheriff Schad, and upon the doctors
earnest solicitation she finally partook
Of some light nourishment and later
took the restoratives which were given
h=S.
Mrs. Swank threw some light on ths
strange case when she testified having
had a conversation with Mrs. Bennett
a year ago, during which the dement,
ed woman said to her:
when my little girl died they bur-
led my heart in her grave"
This is considered to be the real
cause of her condition, as she was
known to have worried over her child s
loss day after day.
