Coffee Market

New York, December 1.-The mar ket for coffee futures was easier today under scattering liduidation which seemed to come largely from cotton trade sources and was most active in connection with the near months. The market opened at decline of point to an advance of 3 points with the late months relatively steady on buy ing by near months sellers. but the whole list eased off during the after noon with March selling at 8.13c and July at S.44c. The close was to 6 points net lower. Sales. 6S.f50 Decem- ber. 7.s7c; January 7.9sc; February,

Sugar Market

New York. December 1.-The local
 market for raw sugar was easier today
 under continued liberal offers and prices declined 1sc. There were sales of 5000
 bags of Cubas from store at 45sc C. i. f., equal to 5.63c duty paid. The. market closed unsettled with rumors of further sales of full duty sugars at 4Ac c. i. f., although these latter sales could not be
 confirmed. Closing prices were 4%c for Cubas cost and freight. equal to 563c for centrifugal and 476c for molasses. The easier ruling of the spot market
 led to considerable liquidation in sugar
 futures, principally in the near positions,
 and closing prices were to points net lower Sales were 1900 tons, good part
 of which was in the form of exchanges.
 December sold from 4.67c to 4.65c, closing 4.65c; January, 4.30c to 4.26c, closing 4.27c; f;
 March. 40oc to 397c, closing s97c; May,
 4.05c to 4.01c, closing 4.0Oc; July closed

NORTH DAKOTA BEGINS
GREAT wheat CROP
FIickertail Farmers Expect Hundred
Million Hushel YieId-Reports and
Denials of Rust Persist.

Fargo.-Farmers of North Dakota
have begun the gigantic task OF har-
vesting 1OOOOO,0O0 bushels of wheat.
Although the state will not harvest
such a tremendous crop as a year ago.
indications point to a very satisfac-
tory production, more than the normal
average.
Reports of damage by black rust
have been persistent during the past
two weeks and denials of these reports
are just as persistent. Only the story
of the threshing machine will fix the
losses.
Elements Hamper Seeding.
Floods that drowned crops in por-
ton of the southwestern section of the
state, coupled with winds that blew
some grain out of the high lands dur
ing the seeding season, have had the
effect of reducing the years produc-
ton somewhat.
Weather conditions last fall operat-
ed against blowing being pushed salts
factorily, while continuous rains this
spring proved another barrier. AS a
result much grain was sown on land
not properly titled.
Sioux County pioneer. (Fort Yates, Sioux County, N.D.) 1914-1929, 1916-08-04

wise there will be no peace except on
Germany's own terms. The people are
prepared to suffer, much as they may
dislike the inconvenience to which the
war has put them. This is particularly
true of states like Bavaria, where /
spent some time before leaving the
country.
eff the Bavarians could be given a
smashing blow there might be a rapid
end Of the war, but they are now as
persuaded as they were at the begin
ming that their generals and their SOL
diers cannot be defeated. Even a Prus-
sian defeat would not make much i'm
preston in Bavaria unless the Bavari-
an armies were defeated at the same
time.
popular confidence in official man.

things is still absolute"

INTERESTING NEWS OF STATE
North Dakota Events Of Past Few
Days Selected and Edited for the
Convenience Of Our
Readers.

Fargo.-The labor situation in North
Dakota took a new turn when farm
ers in many districts began organizing
bodies of watchmen who will remain
in readiness to respond to the call OF
the town or village threatened by l. w.
WIS. So menacing has the situation
become in some districts that vigorous
measures have been decided upon by
the farmers.
Terrorized by Bands.
Bands of from 300 to 500 of the
l. w. WIS are terrorizing authorities
in small towns, daring police officials
to arrest them, threatening to overrun
towns which fail to accord them the
usual freedom and causing great I'M
easiness to the farmer whose fields de-
mand immediate attention.
The situation Is more serious In
northwestern Dakota than in any other
part of the state.
Threaten Authorities.
In Lidgerwood, N. D., the arrest OF
member of the l. w. w. was follow.
ed with threats than che would soon
be freed by his fellow members" Two
members of the order are now in jail
in that city and a close watch is being
maintained on incoming trains to pre-
vent the possibility of an organized
attempt to free the prisoners.
Glendale has been having trouble
with the l. w. w. for several days
past.
Won't Let Lahorers Work.
In the last three years, or ever since
the famous Minot l. w. w. riots, the
members of that organization have be-
come more daring and dangerous.
The demand for laborers is keen In
the state, but the /. w. WIS give their
whole time to the encouragement OF
men from taking jobs except at ex-
orbitant wages, according to the au'
thorities, who are closely following the
situation.

IRISH EVEN TO MINUTES
Dislike Of British Orders by the H.
bernian Shown In Daylight
Service.

London.-An instance of the grudg.
ing hesitation with which the irrec0n-
cilable 1rishman obeys any regulation
of the disliked Saxon is given by a
writer in the Daily Chronicle.
Soon after the daylight saving bill
under which the clocks of the United
Kingdom were put forward an hour
went into effect an Englishwoman liv-
ing in Tipperary found her gardener in
a gloomy mood. She asked him
whether he had put his clock "On."
The gardener evaded the question,
evidently preferring to talk about the
roses. The mistress protested, and fin
ally pressed the question and made the
man face her.
"Yes, my lady," said the patriot at
last. II did. I put it on half an
hour"

Cover Crime, Police Say.
Ellendale.-That he choked his wife
to death after quarrel, and then
sought to cover the evidence Of his
crime by burning her body in their
home, is the substance of signed
confession the local police say Nichols
schon, GA years old, made following
his arrest.
Schon, according to the alleged con-
fession, extinguished the fire shortly
after starting it, and then gave out
the story that his wife had been killed
by an explosion of kerosene, used In
an effort to hasten the fire in the
kitchen range. At the time the story
was accepted as true.
Daughters Leave Home.
Recently Schon's children became
suspicious because of his actions, and
four daughters left home. Several
hours later Schon dropped from sight,
leaving note that he would not stay
any longer If the girls were afraid
of him."
Schon was found hiding in clump
of weeds near here. As he recognized
Sheriff w. r. Bishop, he leaped to his
feet, slashing at his throat as he ran
toward a nearby slough into which he
jumped. The sheriff plunged in after
him and brought him to shore.
