TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago. June 1.-WHEAT-Surprising
large yields of wheat in the Texas har-
vest fields were reported today and at the
same time there were generous sales of
fluential houses. The offerings of the
new crop in the southwest were said to
exceed the demand Notice of an advance
In storage rates for the grain in Chicago
beginning July l, had likewise a bearish
effect. The rise is the first in ten years
months. Lower cables tended also to ease
off prices in this market. Pit traders and
scattered commission houses constituted
the only buyers. The opening was
shade to 1aG5sc lower with September
covering the whole range at 901zc to 90asc.
The option declined further to 90G901sc
and reacted to 904c. July kept equal
pace, settling down to $3.50 and rallying
nc.
Perfect weather, denials of Hessian Fly
damage in Illinois and liquidation for the
week end by small longs deepened the
bearish feeling. The close was easy at
S91z $3.50 for September, net los of nc.
CORN-A warmer weather forecast led
to considerable selling of corn. Buying
support was rather poor September
opened &c down at 591sc; rallied shade
and declined to 5SBc.
The market turned heavy despite much
covering by shorts. The close was wax
with September at 5Sss@5S1sc, net loss
of 7sG1c.

men: Porter Charlton, the young hus-
Dand, who was on a wedding trip with
his bride. has not been located Con
stantine Ispolatoff. Russian, who has
peen seen frequently With the couple
is in custody.
The man whom the police are par
ticularly anxious to get hold of is IN
switzerland, where he fled immediate
~ after the murder. There is no au-
thor1tative statement as to who he is.
The post mortem examination of the
pody was made today. This revealed
that the woman died from suffocation
1t was found there were seven wounds
on the head, sufficient to render her
unconscious, but they were not re-
garded as of nature to cause death.
me victim apparently expired some
time after she had been placed in the
trunk
The wrapping had been done with a
strip of cloth and the body was crowd
ed into the trunk along with some
letters and personal effects 1t was
these latter articles which led to iden-
tification
Aside from the wounds disclosed at
the post mortem, the body showed
certain abnormal conditions on which
the doctors reserved expression of an
opinion.
The police investigations show that
the trunk and its contents were found
to be too heavy to be carried to the
lake by one person and that the in
dividual who first attempted this task
called to his assistance an accomplice.
The steps of both men were heard
when they left the villa carrying a
heavy weight. Ispolatoff the Russian
who figures in the affair, was arrested
especially, because the day before the
murder he is said to have made in
quiries of fishermen concerning the
depth of the lake at the spot where
the trunk was found.
The unusual mystery connected with
the affair. the disappearance of the
husband and the circumsta noes of bru-
tally developed by the post mortem all
combine to give the case absorbing in
terest.
