Of the late E. ]. ducky) Baldwin. H

due influence when the will was sign

Mr.. Unruh fixed the value of the
real property at from $20,00O.OOO to
SPA, 100000 and of the personal prop
erty at $127,500. The net annual in
come from the property said the exc
cutor, has been only $4,000.

Chicago Aprpil S-WHEAT-Careful
analysis of the crop figures of yesterday
make even more buIlish showing than in
dicated when figures were first wired. Not
only is the total harvest of the year lnd1-
Gated at 424 million bushels. nearly. 20
million under the promise at this time last
year but for the thirteen big wheat pro-
ducing states of the country which furnish
the surplus, the promise is more than so
million bushels short of the promise OF the
tain to make prices on the theory that
there will be large reduction in acreage
extensive blowing up of wheat already re-
ported from many sections AS conditions
of wheat about years out of 10 shows
material decline from the April report to
harvest, it is easy to see that there Is a
possibility for a very short yield of win
ter wheat in this country this year. Al
of wheat for export from gulf ports in
August and September. All over the south
west mills will be eager buyers of the
chances of a run to this market in July
will be very slim This puts the July con-
tracts in very much the same position as
know just what reaction is due from this
big week but the feeling is SO friendly
to the buying side of wheat that only
little reaction can be expected until buy
ing force is felt again.
CORN-Some bearish news developed in
corn yesterday because of general reports
promised. In some cases there was evil
dence of liquidation on the part of out
side holders. Unless this sort of selling
becomes general not much break can be
expected at this time as receipts are small
and the season at hand for eastern ship
ments by lake. There is at least uncer-
profits on long corn by those who have
been right On the recent advance.

Standard Oil Attorney Discusses Value
of the Property.

ST Louis, April S.-Attorney Milburp
today resumed his argument on behalf
of the Standard Oil company in the
government suit to dissolve the
Standard Oil for alleged violations of
the Sherman act. Mr.. Milburn devoted
several hours today to replying to Spe-
cial Attorney General Frank B. KEEL
logg's statement that the Standard Mad
earned the enormous profit of over half
a billion dollars upon a capitalization of
S9I 100000 This 800, 200, 900, Mr.. Kellogg
charges, was both enormous and unrea-
sonable. Mr.. Milburn denied these al
legations in no uncertain terms That
the profits exceeded the sums paid out
as dividends, the attorney said was true
but that such surplus had been used in
the extension of and construction Of
other properties.
Another statement was that the value
of the properties owned by the Stand
ard Oil company of New Jersey. which
the government seeks to dissolve, CAPT.
talized at $97, $50, 900, really possesses in
terests worth not less than $500, O0O, O0O
And declared Mr. Milburn with
marked emphasis. 1.-THE governments
theory for estimating profits, as set
forth in the petition. is unsound in
law and does not accord with BUSH
ness principles or the facts of human
experience. 1t is even difficult to
discuss such. proposition with
patience"
Some Figures I'm Interest
The attorney pointed out that the
fundamental fallacy in the govern
ment's position was that it failed in
any way to recognize the enormous
cumulative effect Of compound in
terest.
Taking as a basic proposition that
the properties of the Standard in
1882 were worth $70.0OO.0OO as tes-
titled to by Mr.. Archbold, the attorney
quoted from a tablet to show that
compounded at seven per cent from
1882 to 1906, the original $4,000, 600
would reach the very comfortable
amount of 5,065,6S6.74 Assuming
that this seven per cent had been
added to the capital, irrespective of
dividends, Mr.. Milburn suggested it
might in a way explain the rapid and
apparently phenomenal growth of the
Standards assets.
Even taking the value of the
properties of the defendant in 1882,
$55,710,000 as claimed by the govern
ment, the attorney said, compounded
at eight per cent from 1882 to 1906 it
grew to $353,271,0eO which was but
$6,12S,58S less than the actual assets
of the latter year as shown by the ac-
counts of the corporation
Why said he. "if we had never
purchased a gallon of oil. but had
loaned our capital expeditiously and
carefully, we could have made as
much. and recalling the high interest
rates of that period, probably more
