Liberal Purchases of May Wheat.
Corn and Oats Steady-Pro-
visions Weak

CHICAGO, March 3O-At the opening
| today prices in the wheat market were
somewhat easier because OF. liberal re-
able weather in the southwest and the
,mresponslve tone of cables. the Liver
pool market being barely steady not
withstanding. yesterdays advance here.
Early in the session, however, cash
houses bought large quantities of the
May, option and crea ted lively demand
by shorts, who feared a possible squeeze
in that delivery. News of the day, which
was largely of a bearish character, was
apparently ignored The strength of
cash wheat in, Indianapolis and kansas
City furnished encouragement to the
local bulls, and the market became
stronger as the session advanced. May
opened 1s@A to ADas lower at 71@771sc; /;
advanced to 7Sc and closed 1aQ5s up at
I71sc.
Corn was steady in sympathy with
wheat, but the market was narrow one
May closed at 441a, a gain of H.
Considerable strength was shown in
the oats market. May opened a shade
lower, at 3Ola, advanced to SO%@S1c and
closed at 30S4c.
Provisions were weak because of liquid
alton. At the close May pork was down

Monroe City have plenty of
idle capital. Why not organize
a stock company and start
more manufactures. There are
many articles which could be
profitably manufactured in
Monroe City. These factories
would keep thousands of dollars
being taken from our midst,
would bring thousands of dol
lars to be spent in our city,
would give many more laboring
men work and would be a great
benefit TO Monroe City and all
her citizens. Why wait longer.
Now is the accepted time.
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1906-07-19

There is no reason why the
government should longer per-
nit great trusts and mouopolies
to exist to fleece the people.
The cause of these robbers is
not just, they have no good
reason to plead for their exist
euce. Justice should be &C
corded to them but nothing
more. Justice is all the people
ask and they should be pro-
tected from these trusts and
mouopolies. Our Republican
friends are responsible for this
condition. The people should
stand shoulder to shoulder for
their rights and cast their votes
for the Democratic ticket.

Frisco Losses,

San Francisco. July 13.-The
Call publishes the statements
of thirty-tive fire insurance
companies doing business in
this city which have been filed
in the insurance department of
New York.
According to these state
mepts, which are sworn to, the
gross San Francisco losses of
the thirty-fve companies alone
were SIS, 100000. The net loss
es are $45, 900, 900, which shows
reduction to the benefit of the
companies on their ledgers to
the amount of $50, 900, 900 from
the gross aggregate.
The reinsurance money to be
received by the companies is
stated to be $4,000, leaving
the large sum of $4,000, 900 to
be accounted for as salvage.
More than one hundred fire
insurance companies were losers
in San Fra ncisco.

The big trusts are not afraid
of our Republican friends, be-
cause they know that all this
land noise is just for the pur.
pose of getting votes to keep
Republicans in power and thus
be in position to make laws and
do other things in the interest
of the big trusts and monopo-
lies. If the people knew as
much about how things are
done as the big trust fellows,
never again would Republi-
can congress or president be
elected.
