ket was firm at tho start and as the trad

strong. Through out the entire session

feature early in the day was an advance
in the price Of wheat at Liverpool There
MAS also a report which claimed that the
wheat crop Of the central provinces OF
India had been injured by rain and hail
Another influence was the strength Of
cash wheat.
The corn market had an easier under
tone Early In the session the feeling
was firm, out the market weakened

the exportable surplus of corn in krgen-
tina would be l60,000.OOO bushels. against

NEGRO STABBED.
Hugh Beaseley Strikes Negro Youth
in Breast with Knife.

John Nelson, a negro boy about Is
years of age, was seriously. IL not fatal
ly, stabbed yesterday afternoon about
$3.50 o'clock by Hugh Beaseley, the IA
year old son of ]. T. Beaseley Young
Beaseley claims that he acted in self
defense.
1t seems that several white boys while
en- route home from school, had a rock
battle with negroes and that when young
Beaseley and the negro Nelson were in
close quarters that the former drew his
pocket knife and using his left hand
struck the negro in the breast with the
weapon. Young Beaseley had his right
arm broken about three weeks ago and
since then has carried it in a plaster
of Paris cast.
Patrolman Ray was summoned and he
placed young Beaseley under slO0 bond
on the charge of assault and battery. The
