Too Many Deer I'm Iowa.

The attention Of the state game depart
ment has been called to the large number
Of deer that are found roaming about in
western Iowa and 1t Is probable that the
state game warden will give the matter
some attention. The hunters are not per-
mitted to kill deer, and yet It is repre-
sented that deer have become so numerous
that they are causing great deal OF
damage 10 crops, and the farmers COM
plain. They run principally along the
Botna valley and no way has been devised
Of herding them or making use Of them.

Big Week for Politics.

It is expected that this week will be a
big one in Iowa politics. Two important
conventions are to be held here and those
who attend are largely the politicians of
the state. One is a good roads conference
and the other a meeting Of prohibitory
amendment advocates. Both have extensive
programs, both deal with state affairs not
entirely political in nature, and yet both
have immense political Importance in the
state. 1t is known that among the dele
gates to these conventions are a great
many Of them leading men OF the state.

Foreign News Is Bearish and
Has Decided Effect
MARKET IS NERVOUS
Prices Break Early on Weak Cables
From Liverpool But Recover Par
TALLY on Small Items of
Bullish News

New York, June 2S.-The cotton market
was nervous and excited all day, and
while a sharp early break was followed
by a partial recovery, the market lost
most of the advance and closed barely
steady at a net decline of 9 to IS points
The opening was easy at a decline of 8
| to 10 points, and during the morning
prices sold off to a net loss of about II
to p points under liquidation and bear
pressure. which was inspired by weak
cables and a more favorable opinion of
weather conditions in the south and weak
stock market.
Moreover, 1t was the first July notice
day. and the circulation of notices esti-
mated at about 10000 bales was accom-
panied by some scattering liquidation by
near-month holders who were supposed
to have been hanging on to their con-
tracts in the hope of finding a big demand
from shorts. Altogether the market acted
| very nervous and unsettled on the decline
with sentiment disturbed also by private
Liverpool cables, indicating that there
were apprehensions of further trouble in
Lancashire, following the two small fail
ures reported yesterday, but when the
early offerings had been somewhat ex-
hausted the bull leaders gave the markt
support by bidding for large blocks of
July 1t was reported that notices had
been taken up as rapidly as they reached
the bull houses, and the market developed
steadier tone on covering Of shorts.
| The weekly report of the weather was
rather bulish as to conditions in some
sections of the belt, and while this failed
to stimulate much fresh buying, it may
have helped the rally which carried prices
up to within to points of yesterdays
closing figures around midday. Later Of
ferings became heavier again with some
selling through brokers credited with OPP
Grating for one of the big bulls, and the
market eased off in the last hour with
the close a little lower on the active
months.
Southern spot market officially reported
early were unchanged to sc lower.
Receipts of cotton at the ports today,
1863 bales, against 4942 last week and 6ol4
last year. For the week, 10000 bales,
against 23,31S last week and 3l18 last
year. Today receipts at New Orleans, 1856
bales, against 7s1 last year. and at Hoas-
| ton 1S1 bales, against $40 last year.

New orIean. Cotton Market


| New Orleans. June 2S.--Cotton futures
opened steady at decline of Sq10 points
| in sympathy with sensationally poor
Liverpool market The first call was the
most excited in several weeks and brokers'
were swamped with orders, many OF
which were from liquidating longs. After
1.-THE call the decline of the more acuVe
months was increased to 10 to IL points
| but a good demand from proht-taklng
shorts sprung up and at the END OF the
first half hour Of trading the market was
steadier and the decline was checked Inc
July position in New York was closely
watched but reports that 100000 July
notices had been issued was not taken
as a very bearish feature.
The market became dull and from the
middle of the morning on was at times
absolutely inactive. Bears displayed no
desire to push any advantage gained py
| the development of the day, ana pulls
| appeared to be resting on their oars
| Gossip was that the leading bulls were
determined to wait until the June condl-
ton report was out of the way pelore
showing their strength in the July posi-
ton Toward noon private caDlegrams
were received from Liverpool stating that
rumors of more failure among English
mills had been received but little atten-
ton was paid to these stories. owing to
the exaggerations in this direction yester-
day At noon the market was quiet ana
steady at decline of to points,
In the afternoon session the market
was quiet and steady with no features
presenting themselves. At O'Clock July
showed considerable strength and recoV-
cred to within point of yesterdays CLOS
ing on bidding by shorts. The other
months stood 5 to points down. The
close was steady at net decline of TO

WHEAT WELL OVER
THE DOLLAR MARK
Manipulation of Market Is Sus-
pected BY Dealers
PRICES ARE NERVOUS
Country Selling of Corn Is Followed BY
Weakness and Slight Decline Oc-
curs-Oats ana Provisions
Are Also Lower

Chicago, June 28.-Suspicion was held
today that stock jobbing interests have
been influencing the wheat market for
effect on securities. AS result grain
prices we're extremely nervous and in
vestors sold during all the bulges. Hot
dry weather in the northwest caused fur
Their advances and each went further
than the one that preceded. The close
was firm and &c to sc net higher. All
staples headed in the opposite direction
Corn finished unchanged to nc lower
Oats unchanged to asc lower and hog
products down &c to 25c.
Corn experts in the spring wheat dis
but few made more temperate asser-
tions than formerly. Northwestern ex-
changes led the advances, Winnipeg in
particular. 1t was noticed that the firm
which has bought wheat here the most
freely in the last three or four days
was heavy seller throughout the session
European markets were mainly higher
but showed no indication of excitement
concerning a Russian cholera report that
caught the attention of the crowd in
the final hour and was an element in
bringing about the top quotations of the
day.
Traders quickly changed their minds as
to the Importance of the news from Rus
STA, prices reacting an average of nc, but
closing firm because of high temperatures
and reported moor conditions In North
Dakota. September ranged from s1.o1% to
81 021, closing 1c to 11sc up at s.01ss to
s1.011a.
There was a great deal of country SELL
ing of small lots of corn. Quite num-
Der of local longs sold out also. Crop re-
ports have been uniformly favorable
since recent rains September fluctuations
were between 1850 and 69ssc. with the
close Nc off at 59ac. The cash market
was weak. No. Q yellow finished at 90

In oats the disposition to take profits
was pronounced. Price limits for the
September delivery were asssc and SOC,
with last sales at 3S4s@3sAc, net decline
of AQAc.
To offset a heavy tone which the ar
rival of more hogs than expected brought
about in the provision pit packers bid
persistently for July pork. At the wind
UP the option was off only sc. as against
25c for September. Lard and ribs I'M

TESTIMONY HEARD

Kansas City, June 2S.-The nitrates in
bleached -four are mostly eliminated in
the fermentation of the dough in bread
making, according to testimony today
given in the bleached -four cases In the
federal courts here by George l.. Teller
of the Columbus laboratory at Chicago.
Pierce Butler, attorney for the govern
ment, raised a storm of objections when
he tried to introduce a reference to the
Swope murder case into the bleached
flour arguments. fa
DR.. Walter NJ. Cross, city chemist. said
he never had condemned watered nitrate
of five parts per million. and he certainly
would not condemn -four having only one
eighth part per million. he added.
How much strychnine need be taken
into the stomach to be 'poisonous?' asked
Attorney Butler.
About half grain" said DR.. Cross.
How much did you find in Colonel
Swope's stomach"
The storm of objections here arose and
the question was not answered.

decline. The outlook is of necessity a
narrow one under existing conditions.
