and at 1880 p. m. Their market was
easier and 3-8 to 1-2 lower than yes
terday. finally closing 3-8 to ga low
er than the final figures yesterday.
The selling in Liverpool was due to
the larger Argentine shipments than
had been expected and also on reports
that Argentine stocks were increasing.
Some selling was also due to predic-
ton of larger worlds shipments on
Monday.
Dull and Fcatureless.
The opening in u market was a
shade lower than last nights close and
the market ruled dull and f~eatureless
throughout the session. There seems
to be a disposition among traders tn
await Developments in the winter
backward in that section and it. is
hard to get q line on actual conditions
although many reports have been re-
ceived Of winter killing. Modern MIL
Ter says hat damage exports continue

sonable for the early sown wheat. In

coming along %favorably.
Primary Movement Less.
Primary movement today was under

to 100000 bushels compared with
100000 bushels a year ago, shipments
were 2s5,0o0 bushels against $4,000
bushels last year. C~learances Of

Buenos Aires was easier on the

STRONG EXPORTS
ON BOTH COASTS
France Buying on Western
Seaboard-Quiet in New
York and London.

chicago, March 22.-Export sales
on both the Pacific coast and the At
!antic strengthened the market today
for wheat. Closing prices were at an
OF a shade to 1-S@ lac net.
All other leading staples showed a de-
cine as compared with last night:
corn 3-S to l.2c, oats 1-2@5-8 to 3-4c
n hog products 5 to IL Ice.
France on Western Coast.
According to a leading authority,
France was buying wheat cargoes at
n western seaboard of the United
States and was paying full prices. Ex-
port sales were also heard from at
New York and We're said to be for
antwerp, but at sacrifice figures. The
bulls received some help, too, from
the delay in settling the British coal
strike and from the fact that Argen-
tine shipments were less than had
less proved to be far from what could
pc called light. A further check to en-
thusiasm on the bull side came in the
shape of liberal arrivals at Minne-
apolis and because -four trade advices
were less encouraging in the main.
Storm Reports Have Effect.
Sudde mtldness of the weather ex-
erted a bearish influence on wheat as
well as upon other grain, but in the
81 SAS 4AiOlc SOSlly cereal was
counterbalanced by a lingering fear
that winter killing had wrecked many
fall sown fields. During the session
May wheat ranged from $1.01 1-2 to
S1.02 Ia. with the close steady 1890
Lie up at s1.01 7-s@s1.02.
The clearing away of the storm fat
tened out the corn market. Holders
were eager to realize profits, and were
disposed to force the selling. Harvest
delay in Argentine owing to scarcity Of
labor helped steady prices a little.
May huctuated between 70 Sac and
q SIC. closing 3-8c, and lower at
II l-4c. Cash grades were only in
moderate demand
Oats Weak.
Oats weakened in sympathy with
corn. Yesterdays buyers unloaded,
Upper and lower levels touched for
May were SO 3-8 to 1-2 and So SIS,
with the last sales SO 3-S, a decline of
S-Sc from last night.
Provisions Stale.
Provisions started sharply higher as
a result Of a liely advance at the
yards, but the market went stale aft
er heavy selling in which stock yard
spectators were conspicuous. Short

CLAIM BULL SIDE
HAS GROWN STALE

Chicago. March 22.-Wheat has
not acted In a way that encourages
new outside business for several days,
says the Chicago Inter-Ocean today.
Traders were inclined to. fight shy Of
the May and more work into the de-
ferred futures. A number of the
sharpest traders in talking Of the
market last night, said hat 1t needed
a good break to put 1t In a more
healthy condition. At the same time
they were advising short sales Of
May, regarding such as dangerous.
The bull side Of the market, however,
has become stale. A majority Of
traders last night talked bearish.
Corn Gossip.
May corn has advanced 2 1.2 cents
from the low point Of Monday and
reacted lie from the top. In the opin.
ion Of the bears. the bull side has
grown stale. They said that the pit
element were long at the start expect
ing that the storm Of Wednesday
would create a buying furore and q
big excitement but were disappoint-
ed. Arguments Of the bears last
night favored lower prices. It will
take several weeks to clean up the re-
cent accumulations and then the de-
mand is expected to improve.
Boston claimed there was no dc.
mand for corn Or oats.

UPWARD MOVEMENT.

New York, March 22.-There was
some cessation today of the upward
movement in the stock market, which
mad Its inception about a fortnight
ago. Operations were on a moderate
~ larger scale and were characterized
by greater breadth and reigns of in
creasing public interest. Individual
investors and the important financial
institutions Of this city and elsewhere
probably gave the list no small part of
the early strength. The twenty odd
active issues which are commonly &C.
cepted as real factors of influence, at
tanned their higher average level since
last November. Activity conferred
largely around these shares although
the specialties were not neglected as
was shown in a further rise in Ameri-
can oar preferred. which established
q new high record for that security.
The continued advance of the coppers
was a further reflection of conditions
IN that industry at home and abroad,
while the strength Of shelters, which
went to the highest figure since last
July, was attributed to another ad.
vance in the price of lead products as
we'll as the company's unexpected
good showing for 1911.
Demand for steel, the coalers, Union
Pacific and other standard issues was
persistent. In the case of the coal

favoring the rise in these stocks was
the announcement that the federal adj

Sluggish Market.
Following it's usual course the
market grew dull in the afternoon
with recession throughout the list, ex-
cept in Lehigh Valley, which went to
its highest figures. Other standard is.

such cases as steel, Reading and
Union Pacific sold under the previous
days closing quotations. The reaction.
while hardly pronounced was q natur-
al result Of the heavy realizing. to.

at the close was inclined towards

The Bank of England increased its

OF THE
BOARD OF TRADE
WEDNESDAY, EVENING

The regular monthly meeting of the
directors OF the Durango board of
trade was held Wednesday evening,
June Z, 1912, with Directors Clay,
Adams, Eldredge, Wingate and Gra-
den present. In the absence of Presi-
dent Buchanan, Vice President Clay
presided.
The minutes of the regular May
meeting and special meeting were
read and approved.
Secretary Raymond, in the absence
OF Director Davis, chairman of the
Fort Lewis school committee, read let
ters and made verbal report of the
sltua ton. After discussion Director
Eldredge, seconded by Director Adams
moved that the matter of selecting
the committee and pushing the work
OF providing the necessary guarantee
fund for the continuation of the school
according to the agreement of the
board at Its previous meeting, be left
with the president and committee on
Fort Lewis school without further ac-
tion Of the board, the time being short
when the committee will require
portion of the fund agreed on.
Director Eldredge then gave an in
teresting review of his recent .igit
to the San Luis valley, Arkansas val
ley and other portions of the state
Secretary Raymond called attention
to the bills before congress relating
to the Southern Ute Indians under the
lgnacio agency and recommending ac-
ton, but lacking full data to act on
the board passed the matter until the
next meeting for investigation.
Director Clay reported receiving an
invitation for representatives from
this district to attend the annual meet
ing of the Pueblo commerce club and
banquet, with a speaker from this
section. On motion the secretary was
instructed to call up the different
counties and ascertain if it will be
possible for them to send representa-
tives, any member of the board who
can attend being requested to report
TO either the secretary or Mr.. Clay,
Mr.. Eldredge suggesting that it would
be well to have at least five go from
this section.
Discussion of the railroad situation,
sugar beets, and other projects then
consumed considerable time.
Semi-weekly herald., 1912-06-10

Word comes from Alabama that
two delegates who were elected for
Taft have made statement in writ
ing that they will support Roosevelt.
If the convention that elected and in
structed them was regular and legal,
they do wrong when they fail to abide
their Instructions. 1t is claimed that
before the convention many delegates
in the south supposed to be for Taft
will announce themselves for Roose-
welt.
For Roosevelt Republicans to wait
until few days before the Chicago
convention before taking action in his
behalf is to impress one with the ,dea
of rushing to the battle grouh after
your comrades have turned the tide of
batlle and have the enemy about leauy
to retreat. Great courage, that is.
Had the Roosevelt Republicans show
ei their colors in the heat of the fight
and Joined such men as Stewart and
Griffith it is possible that the other
fellows would have had to do the con
testing.

MISSED SERIOUS INJURY
BY NARROW MARGIN

J. II. TAFT, d. e. r. G. roadmaster
on the fourth division, had n painful
accident yesterday that might have
resulted very seriously. Mr.. TAFT was
experimenting the repair work on the
washout on the Silverton branch above
Tacoma, when the accident occurred.
He stepped on the loose end of a
tie which was so balanced that the
other end flew up under his weight,
and, stumbling, the tie struck him a
hard blow, cutting open the flesh just
below his left eye and bruising the
cheek badly. Just a fraction differ
ence in the direction of the blow, and
his eyesight would have been destroy
ed.
Mr.. TAFT came down to Durango last
evening where DR.. II. C. Turrell took
several stitches in the wound and
dressed the bruises. This morning
when Mr.. TAFT returned TO Cascade
he had the big head sure enough. He
was too busy congratulating himself
on his escape to care about appear
ances.

CHARTER CONVENTION
DELEG ATES IN SESSION

Thursday the delegates to the
charter convention met in the court
room and Immediately proceeded 10
| business.
| Twelve reports or memoranda were
submitted for the consideration OF the
convention. Several important fea-
lures of the proposed charter receiv-
ed consideration at the hands OF the
convention.
Before the convention proceeded to
business it was decided that any ac-
tion taken upon any measure should
be simply informal and for the pur-
pose CT getting the frame work Of
, JIe charter before the delegates.
| 1t was shown by vote at this time
majority of the delegates favor
three commissioners, one to be elected
for two years, one to be elected for
four years, the third to be elected
for six years. After The first election
the election of each commissioner viii
be for a Term of six years, one com.
missioner TO be elected every two
years.
The delegates went on record as ia
vor1np tie appointment by the COM
mlssloners of a treasurer. The ques-
tion before them is whether one Of
ti-C ACCOMPLISHMENTS Sndll De InG treas
urer for the city or whether the treas
urer shall be a separate officer. Thea
again they are undecided as to wheth-
er the treasurer shall be appointed
or elected. The delegates at the pres
ent appear to be in favor of appoint
ment, but it is probable that when
.he final vote is taken that they will
consider the matter of electing the
treasurer. We are inclined to feel
that the election of the treasurer will
meet the approval of the people.
There was considerable discussion
as to whether the matter of deter
mining tne number of commissioners
should be submitted to the people for
vote. There are those of the dele
gates who favor three commissioners,
Others who favor five and still others
who favor but one.
The votes taken so far are in no
wise nDal and are only informal and
are for the purpose of finding out
what the public sentiment of the dele
gates is All the work done during
tha meeting will be brought finally
Before the convention where the mat
ters will be open again for debate and
Tor approval or rejection. BY the
hethOt Low pursued the convention
VIII save much time by casting out
those plans that have no particular
adherents and yet will reserve to each
delegate the privilege of calling up
at any time any matter for consid-
Grafton.
