weather and bearish cables gave wheat
a downward slant today. The only sup
port for the market was apparently COM
ing from cautious shorts who were taking
profits. Sellers had their attention espec-
tally fixed on Kansas, the rainfall in that
state being reported as a good hard down
pour. Large world shipments formed one
of the principal factors in making the
foreign adverse to the bulls. The fact
that cash wheat here was not proving an
early marketable commodity also exerted
a depressing effect. Opening prices were
| a shade to 1880 lower. July started at
fell to 91c.
Difficulty in the covering of short sales
led afterward to decided rally. Builish
crop advices from Kansas and Nebraska
helped. The close was strong with July
at 9214c, a net gain of 1z@9sc.
CORN-Corn Sagged in the absence of
demand. Wheat weakness furnished the
main reason. July opened 1sc to Nc off
at $3.50 to 53%c and seemed inclined to
keep within that limit.
The market advanced later when wheat
turned strong. Closing prices were firm

Ray Green, who is associated WITH
LYNN Bloom of Topeka in publishing
the paper, thus tells of the event;
"As the editor was going across
Washington street he met Lawrence
OuigIey who fancies he has grievance
because he was mentioned in the Car
roll case. Mr.. Quigley had asked the
office to retract the statement made
about kim which was to the effect that
he was named in the states complaint
a., one of the witnesses against Mr..
Carroll and that he was supposed o.
the officers to have attended some OF
the parties held at the Carroll home
After investigating the matter the de-
cision was reached that to tell What
Mr.. Quigley really had done and the
reasons why the officers connected him
up with the affair would place him in a
worse light before the community than
the mild statement made in Saturday s
Blade.
Mr. Quigley informed us this MORN
ing that he had a notion to beat the
life out of us and we invited him to
help himself, which he proceeded to do.
For his helping he landed one on our
left eye the one we use to catch the
errors with, and was met by a counter
to his jaw. He backed off and stag
gered a little and then came forward
with an Irish rush.
"The impetus of the rush was re-
ceived on our nose, which has always
been more or less in our way during
our heretofore uneventful life. After
the rush subsidized Mr.. Quigley was on
the ground with our knees in his stom-
ach doing a muscle grind and a left
hand was working as a shutoff valve
on his wind. Between wheezes he
begged US not to hit him and after go
ing into executive session and taking
a vote on the matter, we resumed the
sitting with the conclusion that we
wouldn't and we didn't, because Larry
was just a boy that had been ribbed
up to put on the skit by some of the
roughnecks of the town who were tax

always short on acumen. 1t is only
