serve figures. The Bromhall guess
on Canadian wheat surplus is too low
and some of the private estimates

Winter wheat reports are excellent.
Chicago corn supplies are increasing.
Wheat visible promises another very
small decrease this week.
Low wheat points of March rarely
arrive before March s. In the past
two years they have arrived March

show no improvement. For first three
DAYS OF this week Chicago receives
/ $3.50. 900 corn and ships 100000. Lo-
cal stocks of corn will increase heav-
lily for the week and will check the
bulls for the moment. The last up
turn in corn started from the 90
cent level for May corn and II re-
ceipts are maintained May corn may
again touch this point Chicago ship
ments of all classes of product make
fine display so far this week.
Hog prices are firm. Trade seems
to have recovered from its fears or
a serious provision break. England
and United States appear to be using
the Benton affair as club for closer
working relations with both parties
in Mexico This may bring some kind
of negotiation.

March Conditions Rule Wheat.

Chicago. March 5.-We believe that
March conditions will rule wheat un'
til after the Saturday report. If ex-
tended, the market might continue its
heayiness throughout the first half OF
March. I'm the past two years the
market reached its low around st.
Patrick's day.
Broomhall guesses the March l
North American wheat surplus at Ca
600. 900. On our statistics he is low.
The North American surplus was 275.-
OOO. 900 at least and POI, 100000 has
passed abroad. Canada exports 49,
600. 600 (roughly) July 1 to March 1
from a surplus of 135. 100000. United
States exports same period figure

European ignoring of the steady
small Argentine surplus reports is
due TO former provision for liberal
import arrivals during March and
large part of April.
The experts have decided that the
provision supply increases during
February at points other than Chica-
go are below a bearish pace. The first
great provision hurdle of March is
thus cleared and the list should hold

two weeks.

HIGH GRADE TOBACCO
Raised by w. A. Reist of Pennsylvania
 Near Elmville.

While the past seasons crop has not been marketed yet, tobacco grow ing experiments as conducted on Grasmere farm, near Elmville, are pronounced a success. Several acres of high grade tobacco were planted in the early summer, the small plants brought there from Pennsylvania, and matured, and were cured in manner that assures the bringing of a high price for the leaf. W. A. Reist, Pennsylvania man, owns the farm and the tobacco culture has been under the supervision of an expert from that state, The work at the farm has demonstrated without question that high grade of tobacco can be success fully and profitably grown on land in that section of Killingly. It is very probable that an increased acreage of tobacco will be set out next summer in killingly. The success at the Reist farm, where the tobacco grown will yield a big revenue, as it is high grade, seems to assure that. The leaf is said to surpass some of the famous Con- necticut River grades.

A hard struggle en- sued in which Kaminsky's face was considerably scratched. In the mean time, however, he was putting up a help, which did not happen to ma tearilize until after the assailants had decided that it would be danger ous to remain longer without risking almost certain capture. They fled leaving Kaminsky about exhausted from his struggle, but in possession ol all his worldly goods.
 As soon as Captain Murray learn ed of the affair, about 10 o'clock, he set out for the Rhodesville section of the city, on a hunt for the men A number of men volunteered to assist in the hunt, so one squad accompanied the captain while another went along under the direction of Officer Julius Cordier. The men searched all the upper section of the city and the en- tire railroad yard, racking the place as with a comb of sleuths. Railroad men he ped in the seacrch, but the hunted parties were not found. The only trace of them Is that represented by the cap mentioned.

BREAK AND HoLD-uP.
Two Men Steal Cap From Office of Dean Pin Faetory-Attempt to Rob Simon kaminsky.

Captain John Murray and other members of the Putnam police force closed their weeks work with a hunt for pair of desperadoes that paid this city a visitation Friday night, broke into one place and pulled off a holdup at another.
 The break was made at the office of the Dean Pin factory, and the hold up in the barn of Simon Kaminsiy with Mir. Kaninsky as their subject. Neither the break nor the hold-u up netted the gangsters anyohing worth mentioning, a cap taken from the pin factory office being the only thing noted as missing.
 It was after g o'clock Friday night When Captain Murray and Officer Juli- US Cordier received first information that thouble had developed. A call by telephone from a resident near the pin factory brought the information that he had seen a light flashing in the office of the concern, and upon going there with his son to investi- gate they saw two men going away from the building. Soon after a mes sage came from Mir. Kaminshy say ing that he had been set upon in his barn by two men who attempted tc rob him. Certain circumstances indf- cate that the holdup men were the same as those who visited the pir factory.

Richard Grant, the If year old boy arresed last April following the theft Of various small sums from tine local Y. II. c. A., and charged with the theft. worked a pretty clever game on a number of weeks this fall, which was only recently discovered.
 He was put on probation last spring. at, tFfey time of the arrest, fol- lowing a commitment to the state reform school and a suspension of the sentence, and for a time did well. At that time he was going to the Wind ham Street school. This fall, he told the probation officer that he was at tending the Natchaug Street school, and each Saturday, as required, pro. dueed his report, showing that he was doing well in his studies and deport- ment. One Nay, however, he mis- behaved a, little too much at the Windham Street school, which he was
