CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, April righteousness re-
garding alleged crop damage forced the
wheat market today toward a higher
of winter killing, and conceded that a
large acreage was likely to be plowed
up. Closing figures ranged from the
same as last night to IS up. Corn made a
net gain of ssa13 to 1.a5s. and oats y to
AaA. Latest trading left provisions
varying from decline to 1911 advance.
Unfavorable reports concerning the con-
dition OF growing wheat came mainly
from soft winter sections east of the Mis-
souri, river. There were quite q number
Of similar advances, however, referring to
poorly drained land in Kansas. The best
buying here was done on orders from St
Louis, and reflected the injury said to
tons Of Illinois Messages were also at
hand asserting that mischief had been
done in the Ohio valley. Less balmy
conditions northwest of Chicago tending
to retard seeding operations formed an
other influence against the bears.
Throughout the day, the chances Of a
crop scare appeared so threatening that
even those spectators who discredited
the stories Of winter killing were inclined
to keep out of the market or get in line
On the buying side. Between the opening
and the close. July fiuctuated from 81 to

Corn repeated the daily exploit Of
overlapping the high price record for
the season. The reason was confident
buying on the part Of the former
leading longs as a result of unsettled
weather. No sign could be discerned
Of an increase in receipts from the
interior. On the contrary. the weeks

season for three years. Southwest

Belief that July will be an old crop
month transferred the bulk Of the
oats trade today to the September op-
ton. The market was active and firm
through sympathy with other grain,
and because of renewed fear of delay
to seeding. Outside limits for Septem-
Der proved to be 42N and 43k. with
final sales at 43,4aA, just asak over last
night.
Provisions recovered some of yes
terday's losses. Little was for sale at
any time. and there was help from
the strength of grain. Little change
was noted in pork. which showed for
the day a rise of 10 to 12h

Report Helps Steel.

1t was assumed that steel derived
part of its impetus from the adverse
majority report of the finance COM
mittee of the United States Senate,
which declared the steel bill ill adj
vised and unfortunate" and calculated
to destroy one of the country's most
Important Industries" Other favorable
influences from the market viewpoint
included the buying of equipment by
the railways, another large increase
in bank clearings and building opera
tions, and the encouraging tenor OF
the reports for the week issued by
the commercial agencies.
Various issues. chiefly steel, improved
their position in the final hour, today's
price for steel being the highest since
last August. Trading in the two hours
aggregated $1,000 shares of which steel
totaled more than 100000. OF all the
speculative issues, Amalgamated Copper
and American Smelling failed to share in
the rise today, but their phenomenal
gains in the past month are already
striking features of market history.
Increase in Loans.
An actual cash loss of Sc. 700 600 was
disclosed by the bank statement. but this
was offset by a loan increase Of $26,-
10000, with an increase in reserves of
about $1.5O0.OOO. as compared with last
weeks decrease of almost $4,000. 900.
Excess cash reserves now are about
$4,000, 900, and this item probably will
be strengthened during the coming week

IMPUOENT TO
CHIEF SANDERS
MAN TAKEN INTO CUSTODY FOR
SELLING WATCHES WITHOUT
LICENSE TELLS THE CHIEF
THAT HE is TELLING A LIE
AND is PROMPTLY LOCKED UP.

Reuben Katz, a watch repairer and
peddler, who says he is a Bible stu
dent as well, will be reminded Of the
biblical quotation to the effect that he
that ruleth his own tongue is greater
than he that taketh a city, before he
gets out of the scrape which his
tongue got him into last night at the
police station.
Katz, who arrived in the city yes
terday was sent in to the station by
Officer Anderson on the charge of sell
ing watches without license, and Chief
Sanders happened to be in the office
of the desk sergeant at the time. He
began investigating the case and KatZ
produced both city and county license
to repair watches and said that he
had only been selling some second
hand watches.
He appeared to be somewhat ignor-
ant, being a foreigner, and said that
he was an honest man, and that he
would take a drink, but that he loved
to read the Bible and treated every
body right, etc. However, the chief
tried to explain to him that this did
not allow him to sell watches in the
city. Katz then claimed that the
comptroller had told him the license
he had secured was all that was neces-
sary.
Finally Chief Sanders called Comp
troller Ward over the telephone and
was explaining the case to him and
asking If he remembered issuing the
license, etc. Just as the chief was
telling Mr.. Ward that Katz had been
peddling the watches, Katz surprised
the chief and everybody in the office
by breaking in with the exclamation:
You is telling a lie, Meester,'' where
upon the chief cut the conversation
short and ordered Katz locked up.
In a suit case which he carried.
Katz had a large number of watches
and a Bible and all the time the chief
was trying to ask about the watch
business, Katz was trying to show him
his Bible.
