The MARKETS
The Grain Market.

United Press Leased Wire Service.
CHICAGO, March 2.-Indications OF
rapidly diminishing receipts of wheat
and decreasing farm reserves caused
n steady climb in wheat prices this
week. This movement was aided by
cable reports of disappointing condi-
lions in the Argentine and Russian
wheat fields. That cable reports con-
trolled the market rather than condi-
tons in this country is evidenced by
the fact that receipts at northwestern
points were larger this week than last,
and grain reserves In Chicago eleva.
tors have been practically untouched.
The net gains in May and July wheat
futures for the weak were 37s and 25s
respectively.
The corn trade finished the week
with heavy advances after starting
weak with slight declines. Private re-
ports of the corn crop showing that
reserves of S20,O00,000 bushels is held
on the farms as against 1853, 000, 900
for the same week last year brought
on bull movement. The light reserve
was the controlling factor in this mar
ket. The net gains for the week in
May and July futures for the week
We're 31s and 324 respectively.
Increased feeding operations due to
the late cold weather accelerated the
bull movement of the week in both
corn and oats prices. The oats mar
ket has been firm for weeks on grad
ually decreasing receipts and growing
demands. The farm reserve is said to
be little more than half that of a year
ago. Increases in May and July
futures for the week were 1a and rs
respectively.
Provisions closed the week with a
sharp advance bringing prices back to
the levels of two weeks ago. The in
| crease In the price of corn and the
feeding of hogs in the west and south
west bringing higher prices at the
yards is given as the cause of the
rise in the provision trade.
The Stock Market.
| NEW YORK, March Financial
America in its issue Monday will say:
Price movements in the stock mar
ket during the past week were direct

lions than by developments which

Winning From Hannibal Seems to

up Fast Game.
GOOD CROWD AT GAME
Many Rooters See keokuk High
School Get Their Stride and Win
Over Quincy by Score
Of % to II.

Keokuk high has at last hit their
stride. Winning over Hannibal last
week gave them the necessary conf.
dence and the game that they put up
last night surprised their most ardent
supporters. Working together in per-
feet form and playing like old pen
nant winners they covered up the out
MT from Quincy in heartbreaking
game by the score OF % to IL.
In the last half in order to give the
team rest nearly all the substitutes
We're used after the game was safely
slowed away.
Quincy outweighed the local team
by several pounds to the man but were
completely outclassed by the superior
team work of the x. H. s. Many times
it seemed that they would score only
to have their formations broken into

 INVOLVE AMERICANS

Seoul, Corea December 13.-Testlmony that the police had tried to secure con- fessions discriminating American mission aries from the corea prisoners charged with eonspring against the life Of count Terauchi, governor general of Corea, was given by some of the accused brought to the stand to testify today. Hitherto all though 80 of the 106 accused have been examined none had suggested such ef- forts on the part of the police, but today the prisoners said the police had charged the Rev. George $. MeCune, head ot the Presbyterian mission at Syen-Chun. with heinz one of the leaders of the plot to assassinate Count Terauchi, and had urged the prisoners to incriminate him. Nearly every prisoner now requests the court to summons Rev. MT. McCune as a witness to prove his innocence.

WOMEN RELUCTANT ID SERVE ON JURY Kansas Judge Is Having Hard Time to Get
 Them Out

Independence, Kan, December 13.-An evident reluctance among Independence society women to respond to calls for jury service brought an announcement today by Justice Clark that he intended to have a woman jury in every case in his court where the testimony was not likely to beaasf an embarrassing nature. He said women had more time for jury duty than men. Deputy Sheriff Edward Wadman reported he had found 1t ,rac- tically impossible to serve subpoenas on six prominent women summoned as iurists in the case of James Blue to Dc tried tomorrof, charged with shooting in. an interurban street car. Tn many cases he said he was met at the door by . butler or maid with the information that the madame of the house was rot iu town, while at the same time he could see the so-called absentee at an upper story window laughing. On his way to his office this forenoon, Justice Clark saw one of the women served on the street. An hour. later he received a tele- phone communication that she was not in town, and. could not serve. He replied that the woman had better put in an ap- pearance tomorrow.

A happy. unique. and thoroughly en- jovable affair was the Syrian supper given last night by the Syrian Young Mems association of St. Elias church Oh Avenue G. to a number of guests and the members of the association.
 The tables were spread in the as- sernbly rooms of the association adjoin- ing the church. which was tastefuliy decorated for the occasion. pr.

PARIS SHOCKED BY
 MUMM SHOOTING

Paris, December 13-A sensation was caused here today when # became known that Walter Mumm, well known sports man and member of a prominent fam fly connected with the wine trade. had been shot Thursday night, and seriously wounded by American woman. The bullet, it is said. entered M. AIumm's chest and penetrated a lung
 No arrest has been made, no charge has even been preferred against any enc for the shooting. It is understood that the Mumm family desired to keep the shooting from becoming known, but the public prosecutors office has begun an investigation of the affair on an all legation by NJ. Mumm that his assail- ant was a wealthy American woman of social prominence. The woman, It is understood, left France this morning.

1 Elkourie announced that the spread was "an aftermath to a Syrian supper" and that knifes and forks and spoons were tabooed. The guests found no difficulty in disposing of the refreshments, for they were served in the nature of sandwIcnes. The guests felt some uneasiness when the toastmaster announced that the menu might include soup, but this did not ma terialize, so their fears were alayed.
 After the blessing was asked by Rev. B. Bellamy, the resident priest, Dr. El- kourie opened his remarks by stating that though the Syrians were insignificant in numbers they had yielded a great in- fluence in the civilization of the world, and that ancient Phenicia gave to civil lization It's first alphabet it's first navi- gation, it's first carpentry, and that they were the builders of King Solomon's S temple.
 He stated that they had come 10 this country not to attempt to Syrianze it, but to become citizens of America ;n the true sense of the word, to absorb the best there was in American institutions, and to live and learn the great lessons of freedom, of thought, speech and action.
 pr. J. IT. Phillips superintendent of education, responded to the toast Value of Education" He paid high tribute to the interest the foreign element of the tllN lOOk III tuutdllDDHi nldLlhIS Itc referred to America as being the melt ing pot that received the choicest ele- ment of the foreign nations and blended them together into the highest type of manhood
 Dr. Phillips complimented the Syrian colony on it's industry. morality and thrift.
 Judge Nesmth responded briefly to "rhe Majesty of the Law" and paid the hosts a fine compliment for their readiness to obey the law and the re- spect they had shown for legal au- thority. Chief Bodeker made a short talk and stated that in the many years he had been connected with the police force, he had known of but few in stances in which Syrians had been in trouble with the authorities.
 James Ashworth, Master Mechanic of the Louisville and Nashville. in a few well chosen remarks paid the Syrians a fine compliment when he stated that he had employed a large number at the

While his English was not perfect, ne made himself clearly understood. lie proudly informed his hearers that they saw an Arab standing before them who had become Christianized and that he hoped to be the humble means of serving his fellow countrymen and the country of his adoption
 pr. Phillips, on behalf of the guests, thanked the association and the ladies who had served the refreshments for the splendid manner in which they had been entertained. This was followed by motion by Dr. Ell1ourie that the guests be made honorary members of the Syrian association, which was unan- imously carried.
