Export Business Gives a Boost
to Wheat.
Rough Weather Ahead Gives a
Lift to Corn.
AN UPWARD SLANT IN OATS
Feeling in the Provision Crowd
About Evenly Divided.
Market Is just a Little Easier
Than Yesterdays.

Chicago, March -Rumors
OF export business tended today to make
tne wheat market strong. The advance
winch resulted did not seem to be greatly
hlndered by statements that whatever
amounts were being taken for ocean
Shipment must be at bargain prices and
from discouraged holders.
Opening prices were 1SQ54c lower to 40
4sc up. May started at $1.017s to $1.021s,
varying from 1s@14c off to a shade az
vance and then rose to $1.O25s.
There was no interruption to the ascent
of the market. Closing figures were
steady with May at s1.OS7s@1. 08A, an ad-
vance of 11sc net.
CORN-Ffrm cables and the fact that
rough weather was ahead gave a lift to
corn. Offerings were slim. May opened a
sixteenth down to a like amount higher
at Use to 71Ac and climbed to 72c.
Throughout the session prices continued
firm. The close was at 72c for May, 40
CSC above last night.
OATS-Oats slanted upward because of
corn strength. May started unchanged to
1sc at $3.50 to 531zc and seemed inclined
to keep within that range.
PROVISIONS-Feel in the provision
crowd was about evenly divided with the
market just little easier. Initial sales

FEES REPORTED
John Schenck Still Owes the
County S25.
e. R. SimOn'S Account Declared
to Balance Evenly.

Reports covering fees collected in the
county attorneys office from January
1, 1907, to August 81, 1911, were shown
Friday afternoon in a report filed by
special accountants employed by the
county. According to the report, the
county should receive from J. j.
Schenck, former county attorney $25,
while the Simon account balances ac-
curately.
From January L, 1907, to January 1,
1911. J. ]. Schenck collected from the
district court $3,471.55 in fees in addi-
ton to 81, 411.s4 received from the Court
of Topeka. Of this total of 81, $685. 80. the
county was entitled to $190O.S9, of
which $1,875.S9 was paid to the treasury
leaving an alleged deficit of $25 These
fees are made up from three individual
cases and a balance of $3.50 claimed to
be due from the quarterly report Of
September, 1905 In the cases of State
VS.. Ring and State VS.. Milan, $40 in
each case is claimed, while 81. is
claimed in the case of the State VS..
Pears.
The report covers but eight months
of the Simon administration and shows
that in that time Simon drew $3.50 in
excess fees. Cases and payments sub
sequent to August 81, last year, are
not shown on the report.
From the district court Simon COL
lected SS87.50 in fees and $193.60 from
the court of Topeka OF this total of
$3.50 and paid into the county treas
ury the remaining 1921. According to
the report, this 1921 covers all monies
paid by Simon into the county treas
ury in eight months. An annual
statement issued by Simon in Deem
Der, last year. states that in II months
he paid $2.075 into the treasury in
fines in addition to $500 in forfeited
bonds; or a total of $2,975. Compar-
ing the auditors report with Mr..
Simon's statement and assuring that
both are correct. it would be neces-
sary for Simon to have paid into the
treasury in September, October and
November of last year $2,144 in fines
and forfeited bonds.
