Speculative Gossip

Chicago, April S.-Wheat has had a
five cent bulge from the recent low
price and some of the bulls who talked
higher prices when the upturn first
started believe that there is still a
prospect for further advance. They
say that the market has been heavily
over sold. The trade has suffered
from an over extension Of the spreads
between Chicago and outside markets,
particularly in the northwest. There
has also been a big business in sell
ing May and buying the deferred flu
lures until recently. 1t was strikingly
apparent yesterday that the ~spreaders
n hedgers were closing their trades,
which was largely responsible for the
advance in May and comparative
weakness in the deferred futures.
May corn was hard to buy yesterday,
and it advanced to within rs to 1c
under July, while recently it was l
5-Sc under. Prices are up 9 cents
from the recent low point, despite the
bearish attitude of the traders in gen
eraI. The Armour Grain Co. took hold

INTERESTING CASE
At DARLINGTON

Darlington, n. D., April San ear
Nv decision in the Darlington court
house site case is expected, the case
being now under advisement by Judge
j. A. Coffey. Seven or eight of the
signers of the bond that was put up
three years ago to guarantee the n
ton of a site for a new courthouse
have not paid their pro. rata share of
the, 5000 and the present case Is
brought by the county commissioners
to collect the money, amounting to
about $3.50 from each of the signers.
1t is the contention of the men who
have not paid that a cash donation or
$4,000 was not contemplated by them,
but rather the gift of q $4,000 piece of
property. Also 1t is argued, and is the
main point in dispute, as to Just what
the site selected by the commissioners
cost. In gross, the site cost over $3,-
900 but enough was sold from the
original purchase to bring the Hnai net
cost down to 5 2,780.
The case is now under advisement
by Judge Coffey. 1t will be remem-
bered that several of the signers or
| the bond, which was put up before the
| election called to vote on issuing bonds
for the erection of the courthouse was
| held, went to the county treasurer and
rendered their share of the whole
amount and received receipts there
for. A few of the original signers
moved away, died, etc, SO that about
twenty-six had the shares of the full
thirty to pay.

Trains.

Agent Stodder Of the Northern Pa
cifc was advised today, that pending
the receding of the high waters at
Bismarck and Mandan the through
coast trains would be detoured from
Minneapolis to Terry, Mont, over the
Milwaukee lines and other trains
would be run to Bismarck where they
would be turned round. AS gorges are
likely to break any moment and let
loose flooded water it is impossible to
say how long the disruption will last
and the public is asked to make itself
acquainted with and keep in close
touch with the conditions if they de-
sire to travel to points west beyond
the water troubles.
