WHEAT TRADE LIGHT
ON RUSH TO PURCHASE

CHICAGO, Aug 5.-There was a
rush of buying orders at the opening
of the wheat market today, with the
result that the prices opend up 1c
higher than yesterdays close. Trad
ing, however, was not as heavy as on
previous days and prices soon receded
l12c from the opening top figures.
Commission houses in general were
the heaviest buyers.
Shorts in September corn retarded
buying at the start and boosted the
price cent over yesterdays close.
Buying of the December offering was
general. May Oats were forced to so
cents following a rush of commission
house buying orders. Scattered sell
ings for profits had little effect. The
provisions market had stronger tone
on light oqerings
While the wheat market kas quite
unsettled during the day the profit
taking sales late caused heavy losses
from the highest early levels, but rest
ing spots showed gains of &c to 12c.
Cash sales here were: Wheat, $4,000;
corn, 10000; oats 141,000 bushels.
Corn closed at advances of 17sc to
&c, and oats weer up 1c to &c.
Hog products advanced from sc to

POLICE CAIN
CLUE ABOUT
BURCLARIES

What may develop into valuable
clue in connection with the robberies
and attempted burglaries in the last
week is in possession of the police.
A pin bearing initials which indicate
that it is a fraternal emblem was
found at the door Of one of the homes
where the intruder cut open rear
screen and then used a cutter TO re-
move part of the glass in the door.
This insignia has been turned over
to the police who are attempting TO
find what order it represents as the
initials are plainly not those of any
organization having a branch in
Richmond. When this has been estab-
lished the police hope TO have link
in the chain Of evidence which Wiz
lead TO an arrest.

jESSUP CHARGES

when the prices of materials are nor
NAL" Mr. Jessup declared.
"The interurbaD company said few
days ago that it was perfectly willing
to risk running their cars over it for
several years yet. a single accident
with them would cost much more than
their share of a new bridge.
Did Not Probe Problem.
No official has made d good and
conscientious examination Of the old
bridge. They have accepted the re-
ports without question. The present
bridge can be repaired, I have been
informed by engineers at cost not TO
exceed $4,000 and it will stand at
least eight or ten years. The interest
on the $185,000 bonds would amount to
more than this in five years. Then
by that time, the price of construction
materials will be down Much money
could be saved.
The dead weight of the bridge
could be materially reduced by replac-
ing the brick pavement by blocks. The
street car track could be placed in
the middle of the bridge and this
would bring about more perfect bal
ance"
County Attorney Gustave H. Hoel-
scher spoke for the commissioners and
said that when the bridge was first
condemned. a thorough investigation
was made of having the old bridge re-
paired and that it was found that the
plan was impractcable. 1t is the citys
place to repair the bridge if this
course is decided upon, Hoelscher
said
No action V as taken by the commits
