CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, Aug. 22.--The situation in the
northwest as related to the early movement
of the new crop was the dominant factor in
the wheat market today. Arrivals of new
wheat today at Minneapolis were IS cars
against 55 yesterday and 81 on the previ-
GUS day. 1t was expected also that Mon
days arrivals would be much larger. The
Undertaking. last night of predicted frosts
in many localities of the spring wheat coun-
try had apparently almost no effect and
caused only mild frmness at the start,
which offset the weakness of foreign mar
kets. Soon after the opening prices slumped
a break at Minneapolis, September declin-
ing from ss%c to 92%c and December from
93Mc to 94c.
on the decline the market received fair
support from a leading elevator interest.
which steadied prices. but the lack Of any
export demand and the slowness of trading
in cash wheat precluded any material rally
Additional selling pressure developed late in
the day owing to break of ~ cents in the
price OF No. 1 northern wheat at Mime
apols, but offerings were not liberal.
For September the low point OF the day
was reached at 92%c and for December at
93%c. The market closed easy with Sep
TENDER csc, December 94c.
The weakness of wheat induced consider
able selling of corn. but the market held
fairly steady owing to the low temperatures
which prevailed last night over the corn
belt The close was steady with prices 70
a NC higher to Nc lower September clos
ed at TIC and December at 65% @65&c.
There was very little trade in the oats
market and prices held comparatively
steady. AT the close prices were a shade
lower to IS higher, September at 4ssc and
December at 4SAc.
Provisions were weak all day because of
profit taking sales in the September and Oe-
tober deliveries. Pork showed the greatest
losses the decline being from 27hc to AZ 1ae
from the high point of the day. The close
was weak at almost the bottom. September
pork closed at s1410. lard at S9.12A and
ribs at s2b5

fastened on one side to the floor of the
boarding to make 1t secure The broad
AK, which no doubt was the last to be
attached to the guillotine, weighed six
ty-four pounds and was made secure
with five heavy screws. Moon made
the broadaX at one of the principal
foundries Of the city and to throw off
suspicion said that he was making a
special kind Of chopper for the chef
Of the Lahr hotel"
All of the parts of the guillotine In
place, Moon began his painstaking ar
engagements for the end. At meas
ured distance from the hinge he fasten-
ed two straps to the floor with screws,
and at the side of the window he
placed bracket, Oh which he put an
ordinary kitchen candle. From the wall
just above the candle to a point near
the broadaI ran two slender cords that
he had sawed through the side of the
candle in order that at the center they
would practically become part of the
wick. Thus the fame had some time
to burn before it would release the in
strument of death
Moon even took the trouble to pre-
pare small box filed with cotton to
receive his head when it rolled from
his body. Through hole in each side
of the box and beneath his chin he
passed q stick. the object of this be
ing to prevent his head from falling
forward when he became unconscious.
The stick held his head so that there
was no chance for the broadax to miss
