MARKET DULL
AND IRREGULAR
The Opening Prices Showed
Small Gains and Losses
Gains Predominant.

New York, Aus. THE course of
today's stock market was attended by
considerable irregularity and dullness
after the first hour. Opening prices
showed many small gains and losses,
the former predominating but before
noon the o became reactionary,
with heaviness most marked in St,
Paul. on publication of poor June
earnings, and pressure against steel.
In the early afternoon some sup
port was offered to standard shares,

set in the final dealings by heaviness

rather heavy close.

CORN.

Cash corn in Minneapolis holds up
Well with small receipts and moderate
demand. Prospects continue about the
same as a week ago for the outturn
of the crop nov in the field. In most
places there is good progress, with
some late and weedy. That season.
ably planted and properly cared. for
since. still indicates good yield, With
many fields looking fine. Frost hold
ing off and warmth would make a crop
even of the bulk of the late seedlings.
Yet these are incidents to be consid-
cred in measuring the output to be
expected. Enthusiasm concerning
some of the earlier cereals tends to
create expectation of an equal harvest
of corn in the northwest. Too many
fields show loss through imperfect
seed to be blind to in calculating gen.
eral yield.
If the corn crop of the country be
taken together it is doubtful that con-
dition. has improved since July 1. The
southwest has been too much in the
throes of heat and drouth to have
maintained the earlier standing but
on the contrary have lost. Many parts
of the corn country speak in highest
terms of late progress and Of final ex-
p~ectation. Admitting these, there are
too many sections with poor condition
to verify anticipation of a big result
of the whole. R%eplanting and aband-
onment on account Of poor seed are
suggestive of reduced acreage to be
harvested. Setting these conditions
aside. there is still the frost problem
yet to be disposed of.

HANSON MURDER
STILL MYSTERY
Clues Which Fargo Police
Have Been Searching
on Were False.

Fargo, n. n, Aug. Twill the
murder of Julius Hanson by highway
men prove to be a repetition of the
Spencer murder of less than a year
ago? Will tho Lincoln school muir
d~erers, like those who shot down
Spencer in front of the Nichols &
Shepherd building, so their way UNI
molcsted?
The Fargo police department has
absolutely no clue on which to work.
The theory upon which the police
have been mt work since the midnight
assassination has proven false, say
the authorities.
Furnishes .Alibi.
The Fargo young man who has
been under suspicion of being impli-
Gated in the crime was taken to the
police station Tuesday afternoon and
given a rigid cross examination. He
is able t" furnish an alibi, say auth
critics. The young man was within
a block Of the scene of the murder
when the crime was committed. He
heard the shot and the excitement
which followed. say the authorities,
and ran to the scene of the crime, ar
irving there a after the po-
lice.

To further SubStantiate the story
told by the young man. States At
torney Arthur w. Fowler has request
ed that two -Aneta. n. H.. girls. whom
Hanson took To the state fair two
weeks ago. to come to the city. They
will tell the authorities whether Han
son had any trouble at the fair
grounds. while in their company. Wit
nesses We're found Tuesday who said
Hanson did not have a quarrel with
two men at the fair. The Aneta girls
are expected to reach the city today.
Having abandoned the theory that
revenge was the motive for Hanson's
murder, the authorities have returned
to the conclusion that robbery was
probably tho motive. Before he died
Hanson was unable to say who he
thought attacked him. Authorities
say that if revenge had been the mo-
tive Hanson would have been able to
tell who attacked him.

CROPS DEsTROYEn.

Braddock, \. D.. Aug. THE farm
ers in the vicinity of Braddock are
heartily discouraged over the results
of the severe wind and hail storm
which passed over this section. Prep
aratlons had been completed to rear
the harvest of one of the best crops
in the history of the slope. when the
storm struck here. For fully Two
miles north of Braddock ev%erythin.
Is wiped out, and it is estimated thai
nearly 1000 acres were DESTROYED.
Many farmers had bought new ma
chinery and laid in their supply of
Irvine n other supplies necessary
for a big harvest, and the outlook
mere TO-DAY presents an aspect that
only the sturdy tillers OF the soil along
the Missouri slope have the courag
to stand. 1t is stated that there was
but very little insurance carried bv
the farmers who suffered.
