WASHINGTON, May 29.-The Su-
preme Court of the United States took
a recess al 1:55 until 3 p. m.
When a luncheon recess until p. m.
was ordered at ;55 o'clock only Justices
Lamar, Van Devanter and Hughes had
announced opinions. Justices Lurton,
Day, Holmes, McKenna, Harlan and
the chief justice remained to be heard.
Indications were that the tobacco trust
case might not be reached until we'll
after 4 o'clock
So many lawyers crowded into the
chamber of the Supreme Court today
that Chief Justice White entertained
motions before proceeding with
opinions.
This resulted in half an hours delay
in reaching the first of the decisions
The consensus of opinion in the court
room was that the tobacco trust case
would be announced and that Che
opinion, like that of the STANDARD Oil
case fortnight ago, would be de-
livered by the chief justice. In the
event some other justice was assigned
to the case, wiseacres in court circles
were guessing Justice Holmes. or pns-
sibly Justice McKenna.
No petition for rehearing was pre-
sented today in the Standard Oil case,
This makes it possible for the govern
ment to procure the issuance of the
courts mandate as soon as the court
adjourns. The dissolution of the
Standard must be effected within six
months after the Supreme Courts
mandate is received by the Circuit
Court of the United States for the
eastern district of Missouri in which
the case originated.

HOSPITAL VICTIM
IS AFFECTED BY
MANY MALAD|ES
Typhoid Fever, Pneumonia,
Blood-POisoning, Amputation,
Now Appendicitis.

After having been afflicted for the
last five months with typhoid fever,
pneumonia, the amputation Of his left
foot and later his leg, Andrew New
man, % years old, of Jefferson avenue,
Maplewood, is now seized with appen-
dlcitis and a defect in his hearing. The
young man is in Memorial Hospital,
Orange, where he has been attended to
during his long siege.
Newmans Hard Luck.
Newman's first hard luck was
typhoid fever. While he was in the
hospital his mother, Mrs. Andrew
Newman, was taken down with the
same disease and both spent several
weeks in the Orange institution.
Out three weeks, the boy was taken
down with another cold, which devel-
oped into pneumonia, and he was again
sent to the Memorial Hospital. About
to recover at the hospital from this,
blood poisoning developed in the tips
of the toes on his left foot. Physicians
found it necessary to amputate the
foot and later the leg at the knee. in
order to prevent the spread of gan
creme.
He was just on the road to recovery
and expected to be out in three weeks,
when the appendicitis attacked him,
and his hearing was affected. Physi-
clans are endeavoring to freeze out
the appendicitis. fearing that to oper-
ate again might cause his death. New
man is well known in local semi-pro
baseball circles.

OUTLOOK FOR 4 VERY LARGE CROP Strain of the Wheat Market Taken Off-Closing
 Prices Easy

Chicago, December 2s.-Explieit state ments that black rust in South Argentine republic was not serious, except in spots, and that the outlook on the eve of harvest was for a very large crop, took the strain off the market for wheat today. Closing prices were easy, 9s@1sc under yesterday.
 Corn showed net loss of 34@7sc to IF @-9sc. oats 9s@1ac to &c decline, and hog products a fall of 21ac to 10 cents.
 Hopeful advices from Argentine gave the wheat market dip at the outset. Word was received that the weather there was cool and delightful. Then fol- lowed vigorous bulge in prices owing to sharp advance at Antwerp and to fall ing off in northwest receipts of a decided nature.
 The. upturn on the Belgian exchange was attributed to helated reports of dam age in Argentine. The decrease in ar rivals on both sides of the Canadian boundary had a plausible explanation in the advancement of severe cold placing a quietus on the demand for all grain.
 During the remainder of the session prices slowly bent downward, influenced in part by the worlds visible supply did not seem to tbe diminishing on a lively fashion as similar to last year. Cash de- mand here was nil. Between the opening and closing May ffuctuated from 9Sssc to 991zc. with last sales at 9S5sc, decline Of ssc compared with 24 hours before.
 Predictions of heavy deliveries by far mers next week had bearish effect on corn. Sellers were reported busy as a result of the advent of extreme cold weather. Eastern demand was poor and the lightness in the December option dis appeared when the wants of a few re- maining shorts had been filled. May ranged from 6SB963Ac to 6i1sc, closing weak %07sc down. at 63Ac. Cash grades were. depressed. No. yellow was quoted at 661sc.
 Longs taking profits on a large scale broke the market for oats. Besides the cash inquiry was considerably less ur- gent than Of late. Top and bottom levels reached for the May future were 475s00 4Sa and d6Sc, with the close at the last named figures, a decline of s4c net.
 Foreigners and westerners did a good deal of selling in the provision crowds One of the reasons was that the number of hogs packed since November 1 showed a gain Of 1,370cO0 over the total of the same time last year.
 At the last gong lard and ribs were of 2Ec to 71ac, and pork d nickel to dime

COTTON CLOSES STEADY NET LOSS Erratic and Violent Fluctu- atiOns in December
 Contracts

New York, December 2S.-Erratie contracts were the prominent feature in the cotton market today and in con- nection with continued nervousness over British labor imparted generally unsettled tone to the situation. The close was steady at a net loss of 31 points on December, while other posi- tions were from ? to points under the closing figures of last night.
 The opening was steady at a decline of 1@3 points, which was about in line with the Liverpool cables. but while the English market was lower than due, 1t reflected no important weakness as a result of the Lanca shire lockout, and this fact no doubt inspired cov- ering here by some of yesterdays late sellers. At any rate, prices rallied right after the call December worked up 4 or , points on covering by belated shorts, as the notices estimated at about 15,000 bales seemed to be prompt ly taken up and later months sold from ? to 1 points above the closing figures of last night. There was no aggressive buying. however, general business being restricted by the ap- preaching holidays. while much of the trading was in the way of switching from near to late positions. and the market weakened on reports that the Lancashire labor troubles were spread ing to other sections, talk of increased spot offerings In the interior and sell ing of December by prominent trade in- terests, supposedly against eleventh hour arrivals here for delivery on con tract. There seemed to be almost no demand for December when the selling movement started. and prices broke several points between sales until that position, which sold 9.46c a few days |ago, had declined to S.90c. Later de- liveries eased off in sympathy with De- cember and under the influence of the factors mentioned above with the gen eral list closing at practically the low est level of the day.
 Receipts today were 49,613 against n, ,426 last week and 49,324 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans were 10,11S against 16,675 last year; at Gal weston, 15,31S, against -4,750 last year, and at Houston. 727S against 10,321 last year.

GOING AFTER OIL
 IN TOOMSUBA FIELD
Considerable Excitement Over Re- cent Developments at the Wells
 Being Sunk

Meridian, Miss, December oS.-(SpeciaD There is considerable interest in the re- cent developments of the oil fields at Toomsuba, a few miles east of this city. For some months engineers have been busily engaged in sinking wells in the vi- cinity of Toomsuba and during the past few days they have gone through what is known as solid rock formation and have struck what is proven to be oil bearing sand. It is thought that at the depth of 400 feet that strong flow of crude oil can be secured The pioneer oil and Gas company has been success full in finding oil at a depth of 900 feet and has ordered a large supply Of casing with which to further prosecute the work The president of the company IS George Koeller of Pottstown, Pa. MT. Koeller arrived in Toomsuba yesterday and will personally superintend the op- erations for some time. The promoters of the field refuse to give out any informa- tion as to their success.
 The work has been retarded from time to time but since the recent purchase of a rotary it is believed that the work will be pushed in earnest The people of the community have little to say in re- gard to the oil fields. not being familiar with the operation of such a plant. All. however, are greatly excited in the oil field and are living in the hope that it will prove as great boost for the prop erty and community as the promoters now expect.
 options on great deal of property have been secured and with the further sue cesses of the enterprise, the Pioneer company will augment It's force and ex- tend its operations,
 It is believed that considerable capi- tai is behind the enterprise, but no state ment will be given out by thep romoters.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, December 2s.-(Special)- Until the last hour our market showed a very steady tone in face of the ad- vices from Liverpool and Manchester re- garding the threatened general strike in Lancashire. Then, under the closing out of the interest in December. the advance was lost, and the market closed some ? to points lower than last evening. Actually there was no change in the factors bearing upon the situation, though there was less disposition to anticipate any serious trouble in Great Britain.
 The Liverpool market tomorrow will depend entirely upon whether the out look becomes more or less favorable for the settlement of the strike.
