CHICAGO, March 13-Wheat prices

reports that in some places 1ate-aown
fields were showing damage to as great
an extent as 30 per cent. This rate Of
injury was said to apply virtually to all

county was declared to be hurt, 10 to %
per cent. The market opened the same
as last night to 4 lower, but then made
an advance all around. Confirmation of
liberal sales to the east and of a scarcity
of rural offerings helped to develop
strength in corn. Opening prices, which
were shade to 1.a74 lower, were followed
by general rise to above last night
level.
Oats sagged owing to absence of de-
mand. There was but little pressure to
sell. Higher prices for hogs steadied pro-
visions. After opening unchanged to a

ditions had a subsequent bearish in

Crocodile Lachrymosis

The liquor bunch make loud profession OF sor-
row and their pure minds are seemingly all "het up
over the poor quality and great quantity of liquors
alleged to be consumed in dry territory. They are
greatly disturbed over the number of men the dry
movement is alleged to throw out of employment.
They profess to be much distraught lest the boys in
dry towns will learn the drink habit. The loss of sa-
loon revenue is too dreadful for these p~erspiring patri-
OTIS even to think about. These liquor yawps are
never heard save when a community has voted out its
saloons or is about to do so.
The facts are the saloon, through rendering men
inefficient, has thrown more men out of employment
than any other cause, probably more than all other
causes combined.
Many saloons, owned by these liquor jackals, self
the vilest liquor known to the trade. Besides, men
who resort to every possible inducement to attract
boys to their bars during the saloon regime, get small
credit for candor in bowling about the boys acquiring
the drink habit when the saloons are ousted. It's
punk, pure and simple.
