Chicago. June II. = Wheat-The
range in wheat was comparatively
small but the undertone was firm and
prices advanced at the close q TO q
over yesterday. Heavy buying OF
Septermer by leading commission
houses resulted in greater advance
in that delivery than in the July. The
trade is uncertain over the foreign
situation and is disposed to wait until
foreign buying comes in volume as
proof Of the fact that export demand
this year will be equal to that OF 1914.
The crop prospects as OF June l IS
not likely to be maintained, due 10
heavy rains and high water in the
southwest and to frost and other un-
favorable weather conditions, which
are possible between now and harvest
Corn-Further rains over most OF
the corn belt and decided improve
ment in cash demand brought another
good rally in corn and closing prices
were to Ia cent higher. The gain
from Tuesdays low point has been
about cents per bushel. There was
a good inquiry here for corn sales,
probably exceeded 100000 bushels,
large proportion of which was to ex-
porters. Estimates from the seaboard
Of two days export sales ranged from
100000 bushels to 100000 bushels.
Local stocks should show considerable
decrease for the week and the visible
supply on Monday will show that
stocks have diminished materially
during the week.
Oats-Continued good demand for
cash oats and further weather condi-
tions calculated to delay harvesting
and threshing, brought some support
TO the July delivery, which closed at
an advance of q cents. September
oats, however. failed to spmpathize
and closed unchnged A good many
complaints are received Of rankness
Of growth and lodging. Crop condi-
lions, however, are generally promts-
ing,
Provisions-Provisi were active
and Irregular. Local operators, who
were responsible for yesterdays break
were again attempting to disturb the
level Of values. Support around in.
side figures was credited to packers.
Cash trade is fairly good.

comment of a "tenderfoot" who had
strained his eyes in vain to see the
object of the shot
Missed nothing" came the rejoin-
der
"Shootin' green's" he added By way
of explanation. He picked up the
clump of leaves fecked with waxen
three or four pounds OF mistletoe, the
reward of his craftsmanship.
The open season for mistletoe be-
gins early in December, according to
the Kansas City Star, and continues
until only day or so before Christ
mas, or, in the lean years, until the
crop is exhausted The old method of
Shooting" mistletoe has been in large
part displaced, however, by agile boys
who earn mems wages by climbing for
the crop and carrying it to the ground
in sacks slung from their shoulders.
That preserves the foliage beauty by
leaving the berries intact. When the
boughs are harvested" by the shot
gun method the charge jars many of
the globules from their tiny stems and
the fall to earth but adds to the havoc.
Mistletoe jobbers are growing more
discriminating and pay top prices for
well-preserved greens only, the market
varying day by day according to the
quantity offered.
The true mistletoe is a European
evergreen, but its American cousin
resembles it so closely as to battle all
but botanists The leaves are of the
same yellowish green and the bios
SONS, alike in color, give way in turn
to the wax-like berries Both are
parasites, growing on the boughs Of
deciduous trees.
Apple trees, poplars, naples and
elms seem to best support the vege-
table barnacle. But 1t sometimes is
found growing in the oaks and other
forest varieties. Along the Pacific |
coast 1t frequently is taken from oak |
trees, although the yield in that re-
gion is not prolific.
The mistletoe played a conspicuous
part in mythology 1t is symbolical of
the spear with which Hotherus took
the life of Balder, the white sungod
of summer, who shall be resurrected
at Raganarok, twilight of the gods
and doomsday of the world, so runs
the old Morse legend.
Among the Druids and the Celts the
mistletoe found growing upon an oak
was believed to possess powers OF
healing for many ills as well as being
potent for the working of magic
charms. Small bits of berries were
brewed into love philters for prelude
ing the passions.
To the esteem in which the mistle
toe was held is directly traceable
certain old English custom which sur
wives today. At the Christmas tide
every ardent swain who meath its
shadow levies tribute of a kiss and
each half-resisting maid who pays
may know their hearts only bow to
rites centuries old and born when
Yule logs fiickered through candle
lighted halls on wintry nights; when
fairies ruled; when imagery held
sway; when mountain gods gave curse
or blessing and tribute to the mistle-
toe was a sacrament.

CoRoNER's VERDICT
A coroner's jury, consisting of the
following, was empanelled Thursday
morning, by Coroner Meilahn: L. f.
Damon, Herman Seim, j. S. Coel,
Emil Hohmann, G. B. Mayer and
Carl Artus. They viewed the remains
and adjourned until Monday morning
at which time they again reassembled.
The confession of Alfred Wehrley was
given to the jurors by District Attor-
ney German, and the jurors then
visited the jail to interrogate Alfred
in regard to the confession. He adj
mitted that he had written it and
that it was substantially correct, and
a verdict in accordance with the facts
was returned.
THE CONFESSION
For obvious reasons District Attor-
ney German has deemed it eXpedient
to not make public the full detailed
confession as written out by Alfred
Wehrley, until after he has received
his sentence, he having asked to be
permitted to be taken before Judge
Reid at the earliest possible moment
to enter a plea of guilty.
The substance of the confession was
to the effect that he had visited the
home in the evening with the inten-
ton of shooting his father and for
this purpose had carried with him
80 automatic pistol, which he claims
to have purchased from tramp for
Is cents. He found the house dark
and deserted and entered by the
front door, opened the rear door, re-
locked the front door and re-entered
