Selling of Rock Island.

Renewed selling of Rock Island issues,
spreading to affiliated properties, caused
unsettlement To values during today s
early dealings. The break in these Sc
curities was the more inexplicable from
the fact that interests prominently identi-
tied with them have re 1tly put out
highly optimistic statements respecting
general conditions.
Declines extended from one to three

CHICAGO. May 31.-Splendid harvest

DAY cheaper prices for wheat. There
was no heavy selling, but the market was
deprived of support. Opening prices here
were unchanged to ~ up. July started at
Ill to LIDS, gain Of Aass to asa12 and
then fell to 1.O9A
Spectators hammered corn on account
of the weakness of wheat. Prices were

result of commission houses picking up
offerings at a moderate decline July

Predictions of rain where needed for
oats made that cereal easy. Selling was
49a4 to 1914 and sagged to 49A.
Provisions suffered from scattered
liquidation on the part of longs. Most of
the unloading was in pork. Initial sales
ranged from 12E lower to ) advance,
with September options 1910 to 10 for
pork. 10.771s for lard and 1O.421s for ribs.

WEATHER
Fair Tonight; Saturday Fair, With
Warmer Temperature

For the District of Columbia and Mary
land, fair tonight; Saturday fair, warmer;
light northerly winds, becoming variable.
The persistence of a moderate low
pressure area off the New England coast
has caused a continuance of rains in
New England and eastern New York, and
unsettled barometric conditions over the
Rocky mountain region and the north
west have resulted in light rains over
those sections. Over the remainder of
the country the weather was fair.
Seasonal temperatures prevail as rule.
The weather will be fair tonight and
Saturday over the eastern portion Of the
country, except in the northern and west
ern upper lake region, where showers are
probable late tonight or Saturday.
1t will be warmer tonight in the Ohio
valley and lower lake region, and warm
er Saturday In the interior of New Eng
land and the middle Atlantic states.
The winds along the New England and
middle Atlantic coast will be moderate
northwest and north: on the south At
lantic coast moderate north and north
east; on the east gulf coast light to
moderate northeast and east

Of her house yesterday afternoon to see
a mule charging across a field in front
Of the house with her 3-year-old son
dangling from its mouth. When Mr..
Roberts and a field hand cornered the
mule it required their united effort to
make the animal release its teeth from
the child's foot. The boy probably
will die.
