STRUCK BY TRAIN.
"You Have Broken My Bottle" is
Mans First Remark.

SAGINAW. Mich, Jan. s.-An un
known man was struck by the Wolver.
Inc on the Michigan Central yesterday
You have broken my bottle" were
his first words as the engineer helped
him down from the locomotive pilot.
He had felt in his hip pocket to see
IL the booze was safe.
The man was htruck by the train
at Atwatcrst. and was picked up and
landed on the pilot, little the worse
for his thrilling experience. The en-
gineer stopped the train and hurried
to the front of the engine, expecting
to see the mangled form OF his VIC
tim.
You're the luckiest man alive this
minute" was the relieved engineers
greeting.
"Oh, well. such things will happen
once in while" was the strangers
reply as he brushed the snow and
dirt off his clothes and hurried away,
declining even to give his name.
The accident happened at a sharp
curve and the train was running rap
idly. The man mistook the track for
siding and stepped squarely in front
of the train.

call very bullish private messages from
the Liverpool market were circulated on
the floor. but they did not create any

liquidation of long cotton until, at the
end OF the first half hour of trading. the
more active months were to IL points

map was again dry and reports from
Texas said that with planting time only
a few days off the situation was critical
in some cotton districts. Traders. how
ever. were not willing to base new opera
tions on weather conditions.
The market was dull throughout the
short Saturday session and the undertone
was none too good because Of the very
apparent effort on the part OF leading
bull interests to take profits on an ex-
tensive scale over the week end. Buying
orders were scarce and the bullish weekly
statistics were apparently forgotten in the
general desire to sell out long cotton. At

LONDON. March 5.-While investment
continued on a steady scale on the stock
exchange during the week. speculation
increased in volume in several direc-
lions, notably in rubber shares and
Rhodesian mines. The former scared
rapidly on the higher prices obtained
for crude rubber. but later Quieted
considerably, closing well below the best

started strongly on optimistic remarks

CHICAGO GRAIN.

CHICAGO. March 5.-The wheat mar
ket broke violently here today following
moderate upturn early in the session
and closed at almost the bottom. with
prices * to 11sa1A below the final figures
of the previous day. Corn and oats fol-
lowed the course of wheat and closed
weak at declines of Il to Is and IS to ".
respectively. Provisions also closed heavy
at net losses of to 71a.
The slump in wheat occurred during
the final hour of trading and was caused
by general selling brought out by ia
vorable weather conditions now prevail
ing for the new crop in the southwest.
Several prominent interests were liberal
sellers and this caused free sales by pit
traders and small holders. In addition
to being depressed by the bright outlook
for the winter crop the market was also
bearishly affected by weak cables and
extremely slack demand for the cash
grain. Cash premiums here were reported
the weakest in several months.
During the first half of the day the
market displayed considerable firmness
owing to covering by shorts, who bought
freely of the July delivery. When this
