THE GRAIN MARKET.
Liverpool Grain.

| Liverpool, May 29-Wheat: The
! firmness in America was Offset here by
the closing weakness in Buenos Aires
and larger American shipments than
were expected, and the market opened
easier. Later further pressure devel-
oped in the way of speculative realiZ-
ing and prices further declined, with
pressure in July Russian shipments
were larger than expected. although
under last week, and the United King
dom received a fair percentage of the
total worlds shipments. Advices from
Russia regarding the weather and crop
outlook were more favorable, and re-
ports from Argentine continue highly
favorable. with Russian crop advices
generally favorable. AT 80 p. m. the
market was weak and 3s to l lower
than Saturday.
Corn was lower on cheaper American
offers The fact of reduced worlds
shipments was Offset by a very light
demand.

SCHOOL BOARD GETS
IN CLEAR ON FAIRGROUNDS
Member CRPpeII Says Wants Public
TO UndeFstRnd Position on
This Matter.

Members OF the Board OF Education say
that the principal reason they refused to
grant the petition OF Miss officer to submit
TO the voters proposition to levy a small
tax to add to the ground she proposed to
donate for use as an open air gymnasium
was not through any objection 70 the suffi-
cheney Of her petition or legality Of the prop
position. We objected because we did not
want to appear to he sanctioning the plan, "
said Frank Capell, members OF the board
The general impression Is that whenever
a proposition is submitted TO the voters
by the board IL has the entire approval
OF the board, thus inducing people to vote
for II who might not do so otherwise
Backed with such a petition as she pre-
sented Miss officer could undoubtedly
compel the board to submit it to the voters
That Ia what the board wants to have
done and be thus relieved OF any RESPONSE
bility, and it can be done without any
change Of the Iowa school law as Miss
officer suggests"
