CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago Sert. T.-specllntire surport has bee,
withdrawn from the wheat market for the time BE-
ing at least, this fact being clearly demonstrated
today. There are many in the trade who feel that
the present level Of prices discounts the crop short
age and that prices are not likely 10 allvapcs
sharply until tie scarcity Of wheat becomes pro
nounced. At present the supply Is ample; in fact
demand is entirely for the choice grade Of new
wheat, and the stocks Of old wheat in the elevation
have scarcey been touched for some weeks past.
World available supplies Of bresdstufF5 are the
largest record for this scason Of the year. and
the weight Of this grain Is bound to be felt until
material reduction takes place Many Of the larger
traders who have been on the bull side Of wheat
have switched to the bear side Temporarily while
the trade In general Is playing the market with
caution.
Initial sales Of wheat today were Uttle brrbsr
than the previous close but prices took the
downward course and closed with losses Of ial4
cents Private cables from Argentina aid tlat
rain promised gections Of that country ybsre
the wheat crorS have been suffering from drought
while late advices from liverpool report that market
easier, due to favorable news. Kansas City re-
ported a decrease IN demand for cash wheat there
with many cars held over unsold and prices sub
santially lower, while there was an evidence Of
frser Southwest movement Of wheat
II plainly evident that the besrisb sentinsnt
prevailed and bullsh news counted for little to in
HupnCe prices.
Export sales Of 5Oo ,ooO bushes of wheat worked
from there In the past two days. Local shipping
salss were IS 900 bushels
Corn was unsettled today. brt showed late firm
ness and finished y cent higher for September and
steady TO y cent higher for deferred months, The
market was under considerable pressure at one t,
due to the weakness In wheat. but met with sub
ganttal SUPPORT on the dip and prices were quick
to respond Export interests were good.
Cash corn steady with local SHINING sales
10000 bushels, including l0Oo0 bushels for EXPORT.
Oats was heavy and closed Aa% cent lower
Cash houses cold oats freely early evidently hedging
against country purchasers a. shipments from here
are eurtsisd by the car scarcity and stocks are
large. Cash oats were haS cent lower, with ship
ping sales 135.0OO bushels.

New York, Sept. 27.-New records were
made again In Wall Street and the
volume OF trading was more than 100000
shares. The feature Of the day however,
was the greater number OF securities
traded in. More than 200 corporations
were represented IN quotations II SEEM
ed that stockholders Of negIece~a Gca-
panies had determined to give their Sc
curites a place in the sun. Furthermore
there Is much buying OF stocks not &C
tive on the theory that they must make
up suddenly what the active stocks have
been gaining through weeks OF trading
In one notable Instance today this
theory proved a profitable one for Cen
eraI Electric advanced 6l-2 points in a
few minutes Of trading. South Porto
Rican sugar advanced 9. Montana Power
preferred went up 31-4. and Atlantic
Coast Line ala Other inactive issues
were up a point or more throughout the
list
OF the active issues Union Pacific, New
York Central, Norfolk and Western, Re-
public Iron, and Inspiration Copper dis
tinguished themselves with new high
records
Union Pacific made its high price just
prior to official announcement that earn
ings for August were 80 per cent greater
than last years gross and about . per
cent greater net. It is impossible to con-
ceal the prosperity of the railroads and
the extra dividend on Union Pacific is
confidently expected. New York Central's
activity is believed by the Street to be
extra dividend plans for Union Pacific.
Norfolk and Westerns advance Of 5
points revived the rumor that Pennsyl-
vania is planning to offer to lease the
company on a per cent guarantee. Nor
folk and Western needs no guarantee to
insure I per cent dividends il the present
management Is left uUdisturbed, but as
much OF its prosperity is due to friendly
relations with the Pennsylvania such
lease would be looked upon by the bank
ing fraternity as a good deal for the
stockholders.

Bartlett-Frazier Co.-"That there Is
no change in the situation is eviden-
ced by continued export buying, and
this demand, coupled with increasing
evidence of scarcity Of wheat in this
country, can only spell eventual
tion to sell corn whenever any weak
ness appears in wheat. The oats mar
ket needs strength in other grains tC
maintain itself"
Shesrson, Hammill 4 Co.-"GeneraI
speculative interest in wheat has be-
come small. The market Is only a
trading affair. and as such does not
warrant a positive opinion or aggres-
sive trading, and we prefer to regard
the cereal list as a day-to- day market
and adopt trading attitude"

NORMAL SCHOOL DR0PSfRQM A.A.A. BUT THREE MEMBERS LEFT Coach Estes Declares Colleges in As sOciatiOn Do Not Abide by
 All Its Rules.

The State Normal School of Con- way is no longer member of the Arkansas Athletic Association, hav- ing withdrawn yesterday.
 Coach Dan Estes told Log Cabin Democrat reporter last night that the reason the Normal withdrew is that so few colleges are members of the association that it is difficult to arrange games. He also said that colleges that are in the association have not complied with all it's rules.
 The NormaPs withdrawal leaves Hendrix of Conway, Henderson-Bro of Philadelphia and Cumberland of Clarksville as the only members of the college division of the association. These three colleges, together with the Amateur Athletic Club, composed of former college stars. will compete in the track and field contests in Pine Bluff Saturday.

SPEC|A! ELECTION
 RUM0R DENIED DAVIS WILL HOLD OFFICE Hays Denies Report that He Will Call Special Election for
 Attorney General

Little Rock, May 2.-The following paragraph appears in north Arkan- sas paper:
 "A Little Rock dispatch says it is reliably reported in state house cir cles that Governor Hays is seriously considering the announcement of a proclamation ordering a special cleo tion for attorney general to fill the vacancy caused by the death of the late attorney general w. L. Moose. Shortly after Judge Moose's death Governor Hays appointed Wallace Davis, son of the late Senator Jeff Davis, to fill the vacancy. This ap- pointment holds good under the con- stitution, until his successor is elect ed by the people,"
 Hays, and he said:
 "There is no foundation whatever for the report. It is ridiculous on the face of it. General Davis has nearly nine months to serve yet, and why should l put an expense of $60,000, more or less, on the people, to elect another man to fill the unexpired term of Judge Moose? There never was any excuse for the circulation of such report, no more than there was for that other report that I con- templated removing General Davis from office because of political diff ferences."

10 ASK MANDAMUS. 10 PAY WARRANTS UNAPPROPRIA1ED FUNDS Test Suit to Be Filed as to Use of Game, Fertilizer, Highway and
 Other State Funds.

Little Rock, May 3.-Preparations for suit to test whether money should be paid out of funds out of which no specific appropriation was made by the last legislature were be- gun yesterday and a suit probably will be filed in the Pulaski circuit court today. The suit will ask the court to compel State Auditor M. F. Dickinson and State Treasurer R. G. Mcdaniel to issue and pay warrants on the highway fund. The officials on Monday announced they will pay no more money from these funds un- less ordered to do so by a court. The funds affected are the fertilizer fund, SPA ,OO0; highway fund, $2O,OOO; game protection fund, 5000; teach CTS fund, $5,000; veterinary fund, S2,OOO; registered nurses fund, $45O; 'blue sky fund, S280.
 The test suit will be based upon the refusal yesterday morning of Auditor Dickinson to issue warrant on the highway fund for $35 on voucher is- sued to A. M. Lund, Little Rock con- sulting engineer, by w. B. Owen, com missioner of state lands. The voucher was for services rendered the high way department. Since the adjourn ment of the legislature no money has been drawn from this fund except that appropriated for the salaries of officials in the department and other expenses. The fund is derived from the sale of automobile licenses. The act creating it directs that it shall be used to pay contingent expenses, subject to the order and approval of the State Highway Commission. One of the items of expense named is, "For the payment of the necessary incidental expenses connected with Iany investigation, organization or survey undertaken by the depart ment"
 It is believed that a court decision on this case would include all the other funds affected, because each was levied for special purpose and may be used for no other purpose.
 Although fertilizer inspectors are paid out of the fertilizer fund, the in- |spection will not be stopped, at least, until a court decision is rendered, John H. Page, commissioner of mines, manufactures and agriculture, an- nounced yesterday. Lee Miles, secre- tary of the State Game and Fish Commission, said the commission will meet Friday to consider what steps will be taken to pay its employees since the game fund is tied up. Other funds affected are used to pay incl dental expenses of state board and commissions, and the action of the auditor and treasurer does not affect them.
 Under a decision of the Pulaski chancery court, which refused to grant an injunction against the pay ment of money out of the game pro- tection fund, money had been paid out of that fund and the fertilizer fund until Monday.
