CHICAGO GRAIN.

CHICAGO, May 2o.-With a change to
showery and cooler weather, conditions
favored the bear side today in wheat.
There was good deal Of caution. though,
about unduly pressing sales. When the
pit was cleared prices were left 4 lower
to g up. Corn showed a net decline Of
II to asaH and oats Il to u. Provisions
in the end varied from last nights fig
ures to 15c falling off in cost.
On the whole it was a natural bear
market for wheat. The chances of mois-
ture and heat being better pr9portioned
to the needs of the growing crops than
recent dryness and high temperature.
formed the principal influence against
values. A good deal of unloading re-
suited from. reports of rain in winter
wheat states over night. But aside from
the break In the drought and the hot
spell the tendency toward a decline was
aided by signs that world shipments
would reach more than 100000 bushels
for the week. Besides there were gen.
eral rains In Russia and more favorable
crop news from Europe In general As
sertions were current, too. that large
movement OF wheat to Chicago from win
ter wheat milling points might be looked
for next week.
The early beginning of harvest in Texas
did not escape notice. but was PUT In the
background Temporarily in consequence

Corn became easier on account OF an

Plenty of hogs in sight made the pro-

session was 5a7la to 10 setback for pork

either unaltered or only 2ia off.

Money became slightly scarcer and dis
count rates hardened on the prospects of

thereby postpone q reduction In the bank

Money was in good demand today in

NEW YORK, May 20.-Efective sup
port was given to the stock market today.
after 1t had developed a distinctly heavy
tone The trend of the market indicated
that It was Influenced in no small degree
by the action OF the federal government
against the so-called lumber trust.
The market was the more susceptible
at this influence on account of the fact
that the supply of floating stock has been
increased very largely within the last
few days, owing to extensive proit-tak-
ing sales.
Initial prices were Irregular, most of
the active issues being somewhat lower.
Bear traders were unable to force ex-
tensive recessions. however. and the sup
port which was offered was sufficient to
cause a general recovery, and in some
cases small advances.

GRANDFATHER CLAUSE VOID.

Judge John H. Cotteral of the United
States District Court at Oklahoma
City, Okla, has overruled the demur-
rer of defendants in the case Of the
United States against four election
officers, holding the grandfather
clause" amendment to the state con-
stitution invalid, because it is in vio-
lation of the Fifteenth amendment to
the Federal Constitution.
The power to grant the right to
vote, the Court. held, was not given to
the Federal Government, but the
Fifteenth Amendment decreed that the
right to vote should not be denied any
person because of race, color or pre-
vious condition of servitude.'
To make the subsection of certain
individuals to the Educational test
dependent on their condition before
1865 would make it dependent on their
race and color, the Court held.
The grandfather clause" exempts
from the educational test" those
whose ancestors were entitled to vote
on January 1, 1866, or were residents
OF a foreign country. Under this clause
Afro-Americans were denied the right
to vote.

in the various Provinces, issue was
joined. and a most memorable and
dramatic debate resulted Broadly,

it followed the principle laid down in
the Act Of Union. The clause was
