Chicago, Juno 4-Heavy unwelcome
rains in Oklahoma brought about an
upturn today in wheat despite a de-
cline at the start. Early weakness was
due to lower quotations from Liver
pool, but the effect failed to last when
word came that black rust was spread
ing in Chickasha, Okla. and that yields
would be disappointing. Offerings
here seemed to pass readily into strong
hands. After opening 4 to IN lower,
the market rose to we'll above last
nights level.
Afterwards prices fell lower than
before Influenced by increased offer
ings of new wheat in Illinois and Indi-
an and by prospects Of a big yield in
Oklahoma, regardless Of the reports
that conditions there were bullish. the
close was weak at 2% to Pa cents de-
cline.
Corn.
Corn advanced with wheat and as a
result Of unfavorable weather. Trade
was light The opening varied from
u off to * up, followed by moderate
gains.
The market sagged on account of a
fresh break in wheat and because of a
prediction of increase Of movement
thru the country. The close was un-
settled at y to p and 7s cent decline.
Oats.
Robust demand from shippers gave
Independent strength to oats. Large
concerns were conspicuous on the buy
ing side.
Provisions.
Provisions responded only little to
an advance in hig market. There
seemed to be on aggressive support.

Corn-Corn reflected the weakness in
wheat, although conditions surround

Iowa and the forecast is for unsettled
weather. The demand for cash corn
was good. shipping sales here probably
reaching yesterdays figures, while
some export business was thought to
have been worked but not reported.
Oats-An excellent demand for casa
oats resulted in an early advance but
later the market turned weak with
other grains and finished easier. Crop
prospects encouraged further bearish
operations on the deferred delivery
which lost about Y cent as compared
with July. Demand for cash oats and

JOE MURPHY
CAUGHT IN LIE

Sing Sing Convict's Story in
Support of Becker's Plea

tnY Assoc,A7rp Grass,

ALBANY, July 24.-The personal
appeal Of Joseph Murphy. Sing Sing
convict to Governor Whitman to save
mer Police Lieutenant Becker, sen
fenced to be electrocuted next week
for instigating the murder of Herman
Rosenthal, failed of its purpose today.
The governor said he had caught
Murphy in lie today and branded
as untrue Murphy's entire story that
he had overheard Jack Rse, Bridge.
Webber and Harry Vallon, three Of
the most important witnesses against
Becker, conspire three years ago in
the Tombs prison to place the blame
for the murder upon the condemned
man.
During the conference he discovered
that on July 90 Murphy had talked
with Becker in the death cell in Sing
Sing, to which he gained admittance
by posing as singer OF the Mutual
Welfare League of the prison. The
following day w. Bourke Cochran, at
torney for Becker, was informed by
three years before.
The governor said he believed that
during the death cell conference Beck
ser and Murphy arranged tho story OF
the alleged plot.
Murphy told the governor that al
though he overheard the alleged con-
spiracy In 1912 he had not mentioned
it to anyone prior to June 21 of this
year except to fellow convict named
Wallace.
