WHEAT MARKETS.

Wheat markets during the last six
days were unsteady and while there
We're some indications of heavy decline
owing to weather rather favorable
otherwise as interpreted by many
producers as we'll as by many in the
grain trade. There were enough 9TH
ers of a contrary opinion to hold the
market from heavy declines. with a
choppy result. In the northwest there
are many who still doubt the prospect
OF a full crop this year on account Of
the spring plowed seeding and prob-
able shortage in the total acreage. Es-
Inmates of the percentage OF spring
plowed land put into wheat are vari-
Gus but there is enough Of it to count
for considerable influence on the out
come of the crop If the theory Of low
Yield nroce correct. Late weather for
the plant development has been favor
able for wheat but the more trying
time for it is not vet.
Movement of the old crop is slow.
Receipts, for the week considered,
amounted to T27 cars. against 90 cars
for the corresponding time a year ago,
Duluth 81 cars against 235 cars last
year and Chicago 494 cars against 7l8
in 1911. Winnipeg maintained about
the usual increase above last year. or
1881 cars. against 1877 cars a year ago.
The market reflected the result of IN
certainty of crop condition., by some
called ideal and others not favorable.
OF course little is known Of the future
but a good start counts for much in
favor of the outcome and 1t had its
effect upon market prices.

FIGHT TO SAVE MURDERER.

Boston. Mass. May 23.-Counsel for
Bertram G. Spencer. who was convict
ed Of the murder of Miss Martha E.
Blackstone at Springfield two years
ago. appeared before the full bench Of
the Massachusetts supreme court here
today to make a. final appeal to save
the condemned man from the electric
chair. Spencer's lawyers. in support
of their plan for a new trial. contend
that evidence of the prisoners insani-
ty. produced by competent alienists,
disregarded by the trial jury.
Miss Blackstone's murder, while she
was sitting at the table of friends
whose home Spencer had entered to
burelarize, and Spencer's subsequent
arrest in April. 1910. eliminated a
series of breaks and robberies which
had most Of the city Of Springfield
agog with fear for a long time. At
ter his arrest Spencer confessed to
killing Miss Blackstone and also ad-
mitted his guilt of a or more of
burglaries. For nearly a veal after
his arrest he was confined in an in
sane asylum for observation. At the
end of that period the experts declar-
ed him to De sane and he was tried
and convicted of the murder.

Boost Acreage.
Langdon Democrat: This week the
Commercial club is able to make the
positive announcement that a ware
house suitable for handling a potato
crop of not less than half a million
bushels will be built in Langdon this
summer and will be ready for bust
ness in the fall. This fact is assured
after a though canvass Of the situa-
ton during the week showing the CO.
operation of farmers Of the vicinity
who will devote an acreage of not less
than 500 acres to raising potatoes
this season.
Langdon is making an endeavor to
start right-right from the start-and
avoid the mistake of other towns who
have gone into the potato raising in
dustry and found it takes about three
years to make it a paying proposition.
To avoid this mistake the Commercial
club would urge those going into po-
tato growing to unite in the use Of
good seed and advises the planting Of
such varieties as Early Ohios. Car
mems. Irish Cobblers. Early Triumph.
Burbanks. ETC.. as these are sur Of
finding q ready market when ship
ped.
The club also announces 1t Will
have a car Of 500 bushels Of Early
Triumphs here on track In Langdon
this week guaranteed to be choice
seed potatoes. 1t is a fact that there
is at present little good seed in the
county, when it comes to growing po-
totatoes that are being shipped onto
an eastern market.

WHAT SAYS

Minneapolis, May 24.-The Fl. Poeh-
Ter Co. in a circular under date of yes
erday have the following to say re-
gardinS the crop outlook and prices:
We see no reason to change our ideas
on the market as outlined for the past
week or so, believing that rapidly de-
creasing stocks and the prospects of
any damage to the spring wheat, fur
Their deterioration of the winter wheat
crop will favor the buying side. How
ever, prices are high and trade not
very large, so tina the market be-
comes easily overbought and such re-
actions as we had today are quickly
brought about.
Our private advices from Kansas
state that while the prospects continue
favorable in Nebraska and Kansas,
that dry windy weather is causing
some apprehension and that rain is
needed quite badly. Reports from the
spring wheat country continue onti-
mistic, although quite d few localities
report that further rains will do some
damage. as they are getting too much
moisture. Outside of the crop reports,
there was vry little in the news to in
fuence values either way. Receipts
continu to run light in all primary
markets and stocks are steadily de-
creaSing.
