WHAT HAS BECOME
OF D. c. CRADDOCK?

The unexplained and sudden de-
parture of D. c. Craddocl1, local agent
for the Jung Brewing Co., has been
the subject of local gossip for day
or two and attached to it were some
ugly rumors. Acting upon informa-
ton received, the company sent to
Moorhead their auditor, F. Rittler.
who has been guest at the Gardner
hotel since Sunday and ne has in
stalled August Steining, formerly Of
East Grand Forks as agent. While
there has been found no evidence Of
shortage Auditor Rittler says the
books are rather badly mixed up and
he attributes the condition to the over
drinking which Craddock mas lately
been INDUCING in and a consequent
high state of nervousness which at
tackled the man and led him to go
away. The auditor would not say
whether there would be any prosecu-
tion or not, ne would have to submit
his statement to the company.

Grain Opinions.

Clement Curtis: Wheat is a pur-
chase on this decline as the domestic
situation is becoming more acute with
each weeks summary. Action of corn
shows a great strength the country
over and purchases should be made
on all reactions as we have always
made our highest prices in May after
December and mas been in the way.
Finley. Darrell & Co: While we feel
friendly to wheat, can not enthuse on
the advance as we believe the same
has been entirely too rapid to hear
and a rapid reaction is necessary to
place the market in a healthy condi-
ton. Buy corn for an investment and
especially on reactions which are to
be anticiuated time to time.
s. B. Chaplin: The fact that wheat
stocks are declining instead of gain
ing at this time of the year, the small
receipts, the light present stocks and
high cash prices suggest the bullisb
factors that are making for continued
higher prices. Look for continued
broad active market in corn.
Harris winthrop & Co.: The pace
in wheat is so fast and Argentine
news so likely to give us an upset that
we advise waiting for breaks before
doing any buying. Cannot advise pur-
chases of corn on anything but the
breaks.
Bartlett, Patten e. Co.: Bullish SEN
timent predominates in wheat and the
selling pressure is light. The fever
seems to be on in corn and we sup
pose selling pressure is light. The
fever seems to be on in corn and we
suppose will run it's course be it of
long or short duration.-H. w. Co.

not claim to have been deserted nor
to have any children.
Then clerk In the Office remem-
bered that in 1908 a woman. who
claimed to have been deserted bv q.
Charles Shaw, was given aid This
record was looked up and it was found
that Mrs. Shaw was down on the rec
ord as having been divorced from iler
husband. Mrs. Shaw /. said nothing
yesterday about divorce, and Mrs.
Shaw II. claimed that she was not di
vorced, but that her husband was away
from home looking for work.
Neishhors Discredit Tales.
Neighbors at the home OF. Mrs. Shaw
H., Ala South Washtenaw avenue, told
investigators for the United Charities
that Shaw lost his hand several years
ago. and stood on a downtown corner
seeking aid, saying he had just lost o
hand and was not able to go to work
yet. They claimed he sometimes coll
lected as much as IS in a day.
This new angle to the case puzzled
the visitors more than ever. A further
consultation of the records indicated
fraud of some kind. for it was found
that 1908 Mrs. Hazel shaw, who
claimed her husband was Charles
Shaw, and Mrs. Sadie Shaw claiming
Fred Shaw as her spouse, had applied
for aid. Investigation then showed
Charles and Fred Shaw to be one and
the same, and aid was denied both
women. A further investigation OF the
case will be made today.

Market Show Weakness.

Minneapolis Dec 21.--Selling pres
sure on the market was persistent
through the session today. There
were good rallies but the market dis
closed less resiliency than in Some
time. Underlying conditions have not
changed materially but the near APP
proach OF the holidays in curfailing
new commitments on the long side,
leaving the market more TO profess
sional interests who are inclined TO
play for a substantial reaction. The
close was easy and close to the lowest
price of the day. Local receipts COM
pared with a year ago looked large,
although the arrivals were really
moderate. 1t is known that there Is
a large accumulation Of wheat In the
country that has not gotten to market
on account of the railroad situation
and the general trade is apprehensive
of these receipts. believing 1t will
come in flood
We are inclined to think the care
that are now held up at interior points
win be moved in gradually and that
there will be no great pressure of ac-
tual wheat here for some time. At
present the arrivals are not much more
than enough to meet daily require
ments. Strength in Liverpool was
rather unexpected The opening was
strong and the close more so. The
chief cause of the advance being based
on the important factor OF scarce Ar
gentine and Australian wheat offers.
This English cash market is variable,
one day offerings being free and the
next scarce but it tends to emphasize
III fact that the importing countries.
