Wayne's Side of the Suit

Rock Island, Nov. Editor The
Argus: AS an appeal from the Chi
cago judges findings. in my recent
suit against E. w. Wagner & Co, will
undoubtedly be taken, l feel that in
justice to myself that readers of your
paper should have an opportunity of
knowing something OF the grounds on
which my suit was based. In going
into this matter l will endeavor to be
as brief as possible. The first item in
the suit was to recover S6SS which
Wagner & Co, had made on closing
my 1912 September corn deal. This
profit was made as follows: On the
last day of September l was short Co.
900 bushels of September corn. After
the close of the market on that day
Wagner & Co, discovered. through
some clerks error they lacked 10000
bushels of having bought in enough
September corn to cover my short
sales. In order to fill my contract they
borrowed from his friends, A. O.Slaugh-
ter & Co, warehC Sc eCeipts for 90
600 bushels of cash corn in store,
promising Slaughter & Co. that they
would replace this corn the following
morning. The borrowed Price between
Slaughter & Co. and Wagner & Co.
was 1874 cents per bushel, the clos
ing price of the September option and
same price as was charged me. AS
there was a squeeze in this September
corn, Wagner & Co. were able to buy
this borrowed corn in the market the
morning of October l at 20 cents per
bushel or 311 cents less than price
charged me, which difference after
certain charges were deducted,
amounted to $6SS. l claimed this be
longed to me as it was due 20 handling
my business while acting as my paid
agent that this profit was made. wag-
ner & Co, claimed it was theirs and
they kept it.
The Secono item in the sale was to
recover $500 which Wagner & Co. were
supposed TO have placed for me on the
presidential election last fall. Wagner
& Co. charged my account on their
books with this $500, turned the money
over to ene of their employees. who In
turn says he handed anne to a friend
to place with tn. bookmake-, Jim
OLeary. on VIII. On at odds OF TO 1.
When Wagner & Co. went to O'Leary
after the election to take down the
$500 O'Leary claimed the ticket was

dictions of lower levels questionable

TO 96c May wheat levels of November
and December, 1912, entirely possible.
The month of November owes its
annual apology to the corn trade for
its usual lack of excitement. The
corn futures are performing normally.
Rush to feed cattle in southwest is
so pronounced that farm journals
warn against OVERRIDING.
Leading investment queries in my
mail right now refer to corn. The

not shaken the long distance spirit.
BY hugging the zoe level during
the fall, May corn is breaking all mod
ern price records. The mass of
November news details presented in
corn is secondary to the small crop

Wheat Exports.

Chicago, Nov. News from India
suggests a loss of 100000 wheat
from this export source during 1914.
India ships heavily May to August.
She exported $4,000, 900 wheat TO July
l, 1913. In bad crop years like the
present her annual output is cut to
from 10 TO 100000.
North American October exports
run about 100000 wheat From
July 1 TO Nov. 1 the United States
has poured around 100000 abroad
versus 100000 one year ago. May,
1913, wheat last fall held the 9Oc
level on the very large 31,O00,00O total
November and December exports from
the United States.
At the present small rate of exports
the United States will easily surpass
the big S1.OOO.OO0 total for last half
of 1913. II Europe makes another
sudden plunge at United States re-
serves-the United States might run
over 9O.OOO.O0O exports for the last

WAGNER'S REVIEW
Closing Stock Letter.

New York. Nov. 7.-Refecting re-
lief over the fact that the Mexican
situation had become no worse over
night and the market opened fraction
ally above last nights closing prices,
and practically remained stationary
throughout the entire session One
or two specialties moved contrary TO
the general trend, due to specltc
causes. but. as a whole the market
was most uninteresting. Definite news
was still lacking as TO the Mexican
muddle, although opinion in lines to
the belief that armed intervention is
quite a remote possibility. The cop
per producers figures. showing a mod
crate increase in surplus stocks
passed by entirely unnoticed- The re-
port that the borrowing of steel in
the loan crowd last night reached very
large proportions, was taken 10 indi-
cate that a large part of yesterdays
selling was for the short account; it
seems more than likely that the snort
interest is larger than ii has been
and with the technical position thus
strengthened, IL would seem as though
IL will take some decidedly unfavor-
able developments to bring about any
further substantial recession in prices.
New York, Nov. Some Of the dis
quieting stories which were circulated
yesterday were not founded on fact,
but merely the product of magma
ton. probably circulated by bears TO
depress prices. These regarding Mex
leo are cases in point. The market will
not run away in either direction. The
currency outlook is a little better;
gold standard is to be maintained in
amendments passed yesterday by SEN
ate committee.

are already pending. These, toge.n-
er with the bill itself, are printed

and this action ought to be of a kind
which will invite public confidence.
The present. therefore, is the time for
the public to express itself To wait
