MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Euan,nn cram Letter.

Chicago, April 5.-Wheat-our mar
Set opened a shade higher and has
rrMa Arm all day, with further cover
ing by shorts. The basis OF the
strength was a continuation of yes
terday's reports regarding the grow
ing crop, these reports coming N
chiefly from the soft winter whea'
states, while reports from west OF the
river were of a very mixed character
Future prices will be almost entirels
dependent upon news regarding tue
yrowine crop which will doubtless be
az a complex character. With the
nigh prices ruling for coarse grains
speculative sentiment might very nat
urally turn to the long side OF wheat
especially if a preponderance OF DAM
age should come to hand.

Chicago, April 5.-Foreign markets
are closed today. The weather map
generally shows clearer conditions
with seasonable temperatures. The
advance yesterday was due chiefly to
covering by shorts, the market having
become over sold on the recent de-
cline. There were scattered reports
regarding the late sown wheat not
looking well in some sections, but
as yet these has not been enough
growing weather in our opinion, for
anybody to determine how the crop
has come through the winter.
Corn-The cash situation continues
TO be the chief bull factor, but as yet,
there is no perceptible increase in the
local demand, although prices are
hardening as compared with the flu
lures. Selling continues of small pro-
portion.
/ Oats-Prices are influenced to some
extent by other grains but do not
share the anne relative strength. Pros
poets for seeding. over a large terri
tory, shortly are at hand and we think
Z prices high enough.

A number Of other matters such as
the Improvement of streets, sidewalks.
etc. were discussed, but owing to the
fact that the fund for street work
has been exhausted, nothing could be
done along this line. The betterment
of the street lighting system was also
discussed
In the matter of the assessment to
pay for the construction of a sanitary
sewer, on the east side. objection to
which was made by Gee Trott, the city
attorney gave an opinion that the
council was powerless to remedy this
condition, even though the assessment
be unfair This objection arose out
of the fact that Mr.. Trott was assessed
more than double the amount assessed
to the property directly across the
alley from his property.
In the matter of the bond issue
which the attorney general recently
refused to approve, the mayor was
authorized to bring mandamus pro
ceedings against the attorney general
to compel him to approve this issue.

turns Commission to cruce.

Oklahoma City, March 4.-William
II. Murray of Tishomingo has return
ed to Governor Cruce commission
appointing hi mas delegate to the
Southern Sociological Congress in a
letter declining to accept the appoint
ment.
Governor Cruce defeated Murray for
the democratic gubernatorial nomina-
ton in 1910. The appointment was
purely honorary, carrying with it no
obligations whatever, but Murray, in
his letter plainly indicates that he
does not desire to accept even small
fayors from the hands of the head
of his party administration.
The Murray letter follows:
Il beg to acknowledge receipt of
your commission appointing me as a
delegate to the Southern Sociological
Congress, Nashville, Tenn, May to

interests of the south than any other
section of the republic. Notwithstand
