CHICAGO GRAIN
AND PROVISIONS
BY Associated Press.

Chicago, April S.-An unusual number
of orders to sell May wheat today broke
the price on that option. At the decline
sellers withdrew and the market rallied
in an erractic fashion. The opening
was from is lower to Lac UP. May
started at $1.o3 1-2 to sl.03 SIS, I'M
changed to Is off, touched S1.O3 7-s and
then fell to s1.01 Ia but recovered TO
SlO9. Meanwhile the range for July
did not exceed SAC.
Corn suffered from lack Of support.
The shipping demand was only moderate
and the bull side found no encourage
ment in the weather map. May opened
a shade to 1-295-Sc o fiat rs Ia TO II
and dropped 10 7e lac.
Commission houses and local specu-
lstors made determined bear raid on
oats. Weakness in other grain was the
incentive. May started unchanged to a
sixteenth UP at SIS 1-z65-S and sagged to
Sc 1-Sc.
decline at the yards carried down
provisions. The market felt also the
effect of the downward movement of the
cereals. Initial sales ran fran Satur-
day nights figures TO 15c below with
July S17.45 for pork, 1922 IL for lard
and S9.70 to $3.50 IL for ribs.

AUTO KNOCKED
A STREET CAR
FROM THE RAILS
MACHINE DRIVEN BY J. M. Meas.
KILL STRUCK EAST HILL CAR
AT THE CORNER OF GADsDEN
AND ALcANlz STREETS SUM-
DAY NIGHT.

It is unusual to read Of an automo-
bile knocking a street car from the
track, but such occurred at the corner
OF Gadsden and Alcaniz streets Sun
day night about o'clock. when a ma
chine driven by J. NJ. McCaskill, of
Gateswood, struck East Hill car No. AZ
with such force as to turn the car
partly around. There were three other
occupants of the car besides Mr.. Nc
Caskill, one lady and two men. All of
them received slight bruises, and the
severe shock caused their noses to
bleed
In the recorders court yesterday
morning Mr.. McCaskill was fined $50
and costs for driving faster than per-
nitted by law. He gave notice of ap-
peal to the higher courts.
Parties on the street car say t. at
1t came to a stop before crossing
Gadsden street and was just getting
under way when the automobile came
VI Gadsden street, going east. The
driver of the automobile evidently did
not see the street car, or else expected
1t to cross the street before he reach
ed the point, and it was not until he
was within a few yards of the car
when he turned his machine north to
escape the collision, resulting in the
auto striking the car near the front
steps a terrific blow. The automobile
was badly damaged, but luckily for
the occupants they escaped serious in
jury, due to the fact that the auto
mobile was partly turned north and
struck the street car a glancing blow.
Street car traffic was delayed for
half an hour or more, 1t being neces-
sary to send for force Of men from
the car barns to Jack up the derailed
car and place 1t back on the track.

EXPERIMENT STATION
FITTED TO TEST COTTON

A cotton laboratory, fitted with
modern equipment, has just been COM
pleted at the Texas agricultural ex.
pertinent station located at A. G NJ.
College. Machines for testing the
strength and length of cotton fibers
have been installed. By means OF
stereopticon slides, magnified views
of the fibers can be thrown upon a
screen and measured, and by care
fully prepared mathematical scale the
exact length can be determined. The
other machine tests the strength OF
the fiber, a factor of considerable i'm
portance in arriving at the real value
of cotton Samples of the cotton
grown at the various sub-stations over
the state are sent here to be tested
in order to show what progress is
being made in the cotton breeding ex-
periments.
