BULLS FORCED A
TO LIQUIDATE

Chicago Inter-Ocean: Bulls in grain
arc liquidating after having forced the
bears to do so at the close of last
week and Monday of this week. Prices
have declined more rapidly than they
advanced. This is the most severe
decline on all grains experienced of
late n shows the effect of the rum
ming of the shorts on the recent bulge,
the giving out of the buying public
support n of over-staying on the
part of the bulls. Prices Of wheat are
down to about where they started
from when theb ullish reports on farm
reserves were given out two weeks ago.
A majority of the trade have lost con-
fdence in the statistics and consider
able money by placing implicit conf
dence in them. 1t is the belief of
number of corn specialists, who have
been bearish all week that the mar
ket has had its break, for the time
being in the drop of 3 1-4c since Mon
day. They said that the longs were
we'll out of their holdings and those
who advanced these theories covered
their shorts around zoe Yesterday. The
buying Of nearly 1000. 900 bushels by
the Lamson house on the break was

today says:
Business activity is undoubtedly
widening while business sentiment,

is voiced in the reports from all lead

that their marked improvement is es-
pecially significant. Large purchases

there is an active demand by retailers.
Notable sales Of print cloths have
been made and all cotton goods are
active with advances in prices in GER
tain ines. Mills are we'll supplied

beginning to exhibit a striking con-
trast to the depression that existed
last year.. Leather is advancing and
hides are strong.
The shoe trade is experiencing fair

cities. notably in Baltimore and Gin

although in New England the factor

liberal wholesale and jobbing business

an immediate deterrent and save in
the south, the under currents portend
more favorable developments. Grad

any heavy rush is expected until after

AS regards immediate developments,
the dry goods markets hold the coin
of vantage. Demand has been more
active, prices are firmer, deliveries of

fall orders are coming in more freely
and buyers IN remain out of the
market or bought too sparingly now

so readily as anticipated. Apparently
there is a scarcity of textile operatives
in the east as we'll as in the south and
mills are averse to contracting far
ahead at prices quoted for early de-
liveries. Jobbers are doing an en-
panding business. Other lines dis
playing activity are coal, coke, pig

LOSS
AT HANK|NS0N
Fire Destroyed Large Mer-
camille Establishments
Two Narrow Escapes

Hankinson. N. d.. March l6.-Fire
destroyed the general store of Gold
stein a. kulberg. involving a loss of
$4,000 on stock and fixtures and
$4,000 on building. Goldstein ~ kul-
berg carried insurance to the amount
Of $4,000. and b. PETIT had $1,000 in
IRAN on the building. The build
ing and contents We're a total loss,
nothing being saved.
The fire was discovered by trainmen
going to work. BY the time the first
man was on the scene the rear of the
store was a mass OF flames. and within
five minutes the entire interior was a
roaring furnace. The origin of the
fire is a mystery. A Goldstein and
MAY WeXler Wore sleeping upstairs
and barely escaped with their lives,
leaving their room in very scanty at
tire. From the first it was evident
Their was no chance to save the build
ing or contents. and the fire depart-
ment devoted their energies to pro-
tecting adjoining property. a good
share of John Green's hardware and
furniture stock was removed to the
street. n the east and north walls
of the burning building We're braced
up to keep h fire from spreading.
There was scarcely IA breath Of air
stirring. but what little there was
came from the north. carrying the
north. carrying the flames to the open
space in front of the store.
According to the January inventory
and the goods since received, the
value of the stock was $4,000. The
firm was preparing to moe a portion
OF the stock this week to the Lawler
building on Cannon avenue, it being
their intention to operate two stores.
The shelving in the Lawler building
"a nearly finished and the END of
this week would have seen the change
of base completed.
The building was a two-story frame
structure with one-story additions at
the side and rear. 1t was built in
1894 by +. PETIT who has owned 1t
ever since. In 1902 Messrs. Goldstein
Il kulberg leased it ami opened a
general store which they have con
Quoted ever since, building up a per-
manent and profitable business. The
fire is a w loss to both the mer-
camille firm and Mr.. PETIT. In addi-
ton to the loss on stock, Mcssrs. Gold
stein and kulberg and Max Wexler
lest a quantity of furniture, clothing
snd other personal effects in the Sec
ond story
Goldstein & kulberg will carry out
their intention of opening a store in
the Lawler building, and hope to be
ready for business again within a few
weeks. 1t is probable the corner oc-
cupied by the old building will remain
vacant for some time to come.

Fargo. N. D., March 16.-Fixing de-
tails surrounding the death Of 12-
year-old Kenneth Mckenzie at Aneta,
n. d., on the night Of October 16.
1909. for whose murder Clyde Sperry
is now on trial in district court, con-
sumed the entire day yesterday.
Simon Mckenzie. father OF the dead
boy, vas On the stand practically all
day and will be recalled his morning
by the defense, which had not finished
cross-eXamination when court adj
journed last evening. Much of the
time yesterday afternoon was taken
up in the argument of counsel regard
ing admittance of narration in testi-
mony.
Rules for the State.
Counsel for the defense cited several
instances from other court findings in
support of its objection. Attorney
General Miller conducting the prose-
cution, cited an instance from the Su.
preme u of North Dakota. where
such testimony was ruled admissible.
Judge Pollock ruled for the state.
MIR. MckenZie's testimony was not
much shaken by cross-eXamination,
which he could not recall exactly. DR..
Bennett of Aneta. who attended Ken
meth Mckenzie following the burning,
testified as to the nature of the burns
and several other medical points.
Plat of !Ancta Used.
A plat Of the town of Aneta was
introduced as evidence on the first
day Of the trial and this was used fire.
quently yesterday in Mr.. Mckenzie's
examination to point out distances and
the scenes surrounding the tragedy.
The same eager crowd Of spectators
filled the u Don and remained
constantly through the sessions. While
Mr.. Mckenzie was relating the de-
tails of his sons death, there was not
a stir. Inside the railing sits Mrs.
Simon Mckenzie. mother Of tho dead
boy, n several other ON rela-
tives OF the McISenZies and of Clyde
Sperry. the defendant. 1t is said the
state has about twenty-five witnesses
IN all.
Trial Progresses Slowly.
The trial progresses slowly on ac-
count of the legal te~chnicalities that
constantly arise. Every effort Of pre-
caution is being taken to prevent an
other mistrial.
The lantern which Kenneth Nc
Nenzie carried on the night he met
death. is another interesting bit of
evidence. 1t Is alleged by the state
that Kenneth was met by Sperry and
Louis Summerfield who threw him to
the ground and poured the kerosene
from the lantern on his clothing, set
ting it on fire. The defense claims
the "a fell and the lantern exploded,
causing him to sustain the burns,
| which caused his death.
