CHICAGO, May "a. After showing
strength for the greater part of the session
the wheat market today declined near the
end, and final prices showed gains of from
sc to sc, or 1Ac to sac under the

The early advances were brought about
by disappointing reports from Oklahoma
where hot weather caused damage, as II
followed so closely after the recent dry SPELL
and this brought about buying on a general
scale, which was led by the Southwest
Shorts also covered and stiffened the mar.
ket to some degree. The late recession was
caused by liquidation and proft.taking on
fairly liberal scale. Traders generally
gave considerable significance to reports
that Count Won Buelow was to come to this
country in special mission, which led to
comment as to the possibilities of early
peace moves.
These reports exercised the greatest in.
fluence in the last hours trading.
Corn dropped sharply in sympathy with
wheat. In this commodity the shorts GOV.

steady, with some pressure from scattered

Exhibit Of Fine Stock.
Cleveland.-The Cleveland Chamber
Of Industry, one of the big civic organ
ikations of the city, has just closed ar
rangements with Mr.. Ohio c. Barber,
the Diamond match manufacturer Of
Barberton, o.. for the display of his
prize livestock and produce of the
world-famous Barber farms at the
great industrial exposition to be held
at Edgewater Park, Sept. 2 to 3, on a
6S-acre tract specially set apart for the
purpose.
This is the first time that the rare
products and prize stock of the Barber
farms have ever been on public dis
play. A special tent equipped with
all the Injuries that these valuable
cattle and horses are accustomed to
will be provided.
This great industrial exposition will
be inaugurated by a monster patriotic
and industrial pageant which by spe-
cial arrangements with the county
commissioners, providing temporary
approaches, will pass over the new
Superior high level bridge and thus
fittingly commemorate the linking of
the east and the west sides by SO
splendid a concrete and steel struc-
ture.
Eight mammoth tents and innumer-
able smaller ones will house the great
automobile show, the rare flower
show, woman's display, builders and
furnishers' section, with oranges from
many sections of the state participat-
ing, will be held.

Figures Are Provided.

The rubber products companies con-
tribute 81 per cent of the wage and
salary payments of Summit county,
according to report just made public
by George F. Miles, chief statistician
OF the Industrial Commission. The
automobile industries of Lucas county
pay one-fourth of the wage and sal
aries of that community, another re.
port shows, while still another report
on Montgomery county indicates that
the largest payroll is that of the cash
registers and calculating machines in
dustry. During the year 1915, total
wage and salary payments in Summit
county amounted to $3E,343,04S, &C.
cording to Mr.. Miles. The report is
based on information obtained from
500 establishments employing regular
ly five or more persons. The figures
for the other counties also are based
on statistics from concerns which en-.
ploy five or more persons. In summit
county $29,0S0,965, or S2.1 per cent,
was paid to wage earners; $4,238,S7O,
or q per cent, was paid to bookkeep.
ers, stenographers and office clerks;
$936,542 or 2.6 per cent, was paid to
sales people, not including ,trayeling
statesmen, and $1,137,16 OF 80 per
cent, was paid to superintendent and
managers.

Plan to Save Coin.

A plan submitted to the State Indus
trial Commission under which it is
hoped to save $4,000 year has just
been taken under cons alton. The
plan is that of A. C. uest and G. B.
Miller, expert accountants, who were
brought to review the activities of the
commission by S. P. Bush, of Colum-
bus, and E. A. Deeds, of Dayton, busi-
ness men, who have been interested
in governmental efficiency. The ex-
perts rejected in large part the find
ings of the so-called efficiency engi-
neers of the State Civil Service Com
mission, but, picked up some of the
suggestions the young men of the Eff
cheney Bureau had made.
There was no agreement upon the
proposal that the auditing and claims
departments of the commission may be
consolidated but it was agreed that
the clerical forces of the various bu,
reaus should be consolidated and be
managed by two managers at $2,4OO a
year each. Numerous positions then
may be abolished and more work can
be done. Parings in the Censor Board
also were recommended.
One of the delays in putting the
recommendations into effect, if they
are finally agreed upon, is occasioned
by the specific appropriations which
will compel the State Emergency
Board to make appropriations. The
Emergency Board must provide for the
creation of the jobs. The question is
raised as to whether the Emergency
Board may create positions legally.
