THE GRAIN MARKETS.
wheat Feels the influence of sharp
Break In Corn.

Wheat was irregular during the ses-
sion. There might have been sharp ad-
vances registered for the day but for
the slump In corn. which unsettled the
list. AS IL was. the range of wheat val
ues at the final was f~ractlonally higher
than that of the preceding session.
Speculative trade was quite active. with
evidence of Il broadening in the outside
interest. yet the commission house de-
mand was not commensurate with the
numerous sensationally bad crop reports.
Crop experts are in Oklahoma at this
time and nearly all complain OF ex-
trernely hot weather and insufficient
moisture. Similar reports are wired
from southern Kansas. In these Sec
tons the seed he'd was zone too good
at the beginning of the season. and in
sect ravages have further taken from
the crop prospects. AS a result, de-
terioration mounting UP to 80 per cent.
is reported in various districts, and IL Is
said that farm offerings OF wheat have
fallen OF In reflection OF the lowering
OF prices in the past few days and the
unsatisfactory crop outlook.
h Southwestern markets were quite
INV AT times. Cror advices from that
creased acreases ranging from 3 TO 20
per cent. are generally conceded. showers
nnVe occurred through the entire district,
electrical storms caused a little aprre-
hension.
This advices having to do with the politi-
cal situation were OF "A bullish tenor. II
was reported that President Wilson would
soon make "A statement thai the time was
not auspicious for peace overture. Earlier
In the week 1t was said that the President
would deliver an address very soon which

SHOW EVANS OWES
MILLS & GLIB 100000
Receivers Act to Hold Real
Estate-May Help to
Pay Creditors.

Papers filed In connection with a
motion granted by Judge julius NJ.
Mayer in the United states District
Court yesterday disclose the fact that
William T. Evans, president and treas
urer OF the white goods house Of Mills
& GLIB. now in the hands Of receivers
In equity. borrowed 500. 900 from the
concern and as collateral pledged real
estate and securities owned by him. An
order signed by Judge Mayer permits
the receivers to have the deeds n
mortgages on the collateral property
recorded, which means practically that
the property will be thrown into the
receivership and eventually help to swell
the fund that Is to go to the payment of
the creditors.
In the petition for permission to have
the deeds recorded the receivers set
forth that on May 90, 1913, Mr.. Evans
turned the collateral property over to
Henry Elmer Glib and Frederick a.
Valentine as trustees pending the pay
ment Of the ioan. The trustees were
to apply the income from the securities
and real estate to the liquidation Of
the loan and unless $780, 900 was paid
back within a year by this method one
parcel OF the real estate was to be sold.
Henry Elmer Gibbs death necessitated
the making 81 a new agreement on
March 81, 1916, and the appointment
of another trustee. Howard A. Horton.
The real estate pledged by Evans in
cluded the wendolyn, an apartment

selling.

In spite OF the favorable reports Of
arning from some Of the big railroads
OF the country yesterday, interest In
the rails languished and whatever
strength and speculation was In the mar
ket was directed pretty generally to-
ward the industrials. some of which
made considerable gains. The rails or
the other hand continued to sell off from
their recent high figures. and this added
strength to the belief that the recent
movement in them had been Il highly
professional one. inspired with the in
tention of putting these issues in "A posi-
ton to withstand fofeien selling. Read
ing was especially weak and sold down
to 1O1 r., a decline of almost . points
from It's high of Tuesday. 1t closed
at 1O2h. on IN points from Wednes-
days final price. The s~uddenness with
which the rails displayed tendency to
react from their high prices was gen
orally taken as evidence that he recent
strength In these issues had been pro-
fessional. Toward the close Of the mar
ket Chancellor Of the E%xchequer Nc
kenna's speech. in which he said that
an additional tax of two shil,ings the
pound would he levied on American Sc
curities. appeared on the news tickers
and intensified the selling movement IN
rails. The Chancellor's speech was In
terpreted by many in Wall Street a.
meaning that there would be n further
Hood Of foreign liquidation. though in
some circles IL was aiken as an indica-
ton that Great Britain had sold pretty
much OF the big holdings of American
securities owned by the English banks
and insurance companies and that she
was now trying by this most recent tax
to smoke out the smal investors.

SUDDEN DEATH.

Before an Insurance Company will
take risk on your life the examining
physician will test your water and re-
port whether you are a good risk
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog, you suffer from backache, sick
headache, dizzy spells, or twinges
and pains Of lumbago, rheumatism
and govt, or sleep is disturbed two or
three times a night-take heed, be-
fore too latei
You can readily overcome such con-
ditions and prolong life by taking the
advice of a famous physician, which
Is: Keep the kidneys in good order,
avoid too much meat, salt, alcohol or
tea Drink plenty of pure water and
drive the uric acid out of the system
by taking 'Anuric," in tablet form -
You can obtain "Anuric" at almost
all drug stores. 1t was the discovery
of DR.. Pierce Of the Invalid's Hotel.

for trial package "Anuric,' or $1.0O

out Monday morning, September at
G o'clock, according to one OF. the men
affected by the order. The men here
will quit at that time unless congress

This order will affect a considerable
number OF men working In the Keo-
kuk yards and a number Of those who
run through this division. The men
are all planning to walk out, it Is said,
and there will not be any "slackers''
In the crowd which received their
orders to strike here
This talk about some Of the gray
headed fellows giving up and not go
ing out is all bunk" one of the men
said today. They are all going to
stand together as a matter Of princi-
pie and the old men are going out
along with the young fellows"
The men say that railroad deputies
are already going on the job here to
protect property. 1t is certainty
that the roads will take the necessary
steps to protect their property If the
strike really comes. and that they are
prepared to look out for thtis. Accord
ing to one of the men here, however,
they need take no such step SO far as
the local contingent is concerned, for
they do not anticipate any violence
