THE MARKETS

There is nothing new in the wheat
market as to prices. The price closed
Wednesday at the same point as a
week ago. Receipts continue fairly
liberal but are all readily absorbed.
The government report estimated the
spring wheat crop at 10 millions be.
low last month but this did not effect
the market materially. Patten is a
bear on wheat for future delivery and
is selling the May option, He says
the domestic and foreign crops are
good, that the northwest has raised
the largest crop in it's history and
that the talk about farmers holding
back their wheat amounts to nothing.
He see nothing to encourage the
feeling of higher prices later.
Oats are holding up, and the best
grades of barley also hold up we'll.
The poor grades of barley are a little
weak and traders look for lower
prices.
Flax is holding strong at present,
but a difference of 6 cents between
flax to arrive on 20 days time and the
spot article indicates that traders ex-
pect the price of the spot fax to re.
ceive a setback soon.

call neither of the ducks was in sight.
In a few minutes one was noted far

toward the landing. Arriving near

The other duck did not arrive for a

were not opposed to woman suffrage
as it now exists in this country, but
they intended to fight earnestly against
any further extension Of the franchise

has come when nothing further in the
way of duties and burdens should be
laid on women.

To Hang Feb. 2o.

The negro Charles Stinnett, who was convicted at Harrison for an assault upon Emma Lov- cit, near that city on Jan. 16, has been sentenced to hang on Feb. 26, and there is not the slightest probability but that the event will be pulled off on sched- uled time.
 The injured woman is sixty years old and is sister of Mon- roe Lovett, residing at the fish pond on the railroad, short dis tance west of Cisco station. She had never been married and had been living alone for years in the home where the assault was committed.
 Stinnet is half breed, eigh- teen years old. and is possessed of ordinary intelligence. He does not, however, seem greatly disturbed over his impending fate.
 In order to preclude the possi- bility of a lynching, Stinnet has been removed to Marshall for safe- keeping.
