Chicago, Aug. 13.-Announcement
in general terms of the governments
plan to rule the wheat and flour BUS
mess of the country made no import
ant change In the market today.
Prices showed a slightly increased
tendency to ease off but downward
slant of late has been the plain
course ofpprices. For a long time, too,
the amount of trading done had been
hardly more than enough to establish
quotations. This morning business, If
possible, was even more limited in
volume and the pit was virtually de-
serted. - se#I-r q
Those who went to the visitors
gallery of the board of trade today
turned instructive eyes toward the
wheat pit. Here where tumultuous
mob normally is vociferously re-
sponsive to scraps of information con-
corning exports from Argentina or
even the appearance of a rain cloud
over some dry area in Kansas, there
was only silence. Two or three idle
traders were seated in chairs near the
pit. No one was init. The clerk who

chin on one hand. At the opening he
chalked up $2.14 as the sole bid for
September wheat and resumed his re-

Corn: Generally favorable weather
with continued weakness in the cash
markets increased the pressure on
futures which were a little lower to-
day. The definite announcements in
regard to the control of the wheat
trade have not increased the conf
dence Of buyers any. With the crop
prospects excellent, the drastic read
justment in cash corn prices, break
in oats and the limitations on exports,
all serve to change sentiment. Buy
ing will be narrow until it is known
what the export prospects are. 1t
goes without saying there will be a
liberal export movement from the
new crop, but under present condi-
lions the domestic requirements will
be filled first. We feel inclined to the
belief that developments will tend to
curtail any display of speculative
Oats: Cash oats were cents lower
with indications of an increased move
ment. With plenty of cars it will be
impossible to long delay a tremen-
dous movement and with present con-
ditions, the local demand through the
country is likely to be supplied from
nearby sections anxious to avail
themselves of high cash prices.

tracts Of the brewery more than n
year ago. He said that on numerous
occasions he had ordered beer by
telephone from the brewery on the
the Minnesota side and that 1t had
. been delivered to his home in Grand
3 Forks when he would pay for 1t and
sign the order required.
Hennessy was able to file one par
ticular date when he got beer be-
cause that was the day before my
brother-in-Iaw got married"
Harry Laurent, a butcher and an
old-time resident of Grand Forks,
said he got beer regularly on phone
calls. He testified that deliveries
were made to him by Pat Liston. one
of the men on trial.
I William Wright, a member Of the
Grand Forks machine gun company,
testified that he was a minor and
that he had held beer contract with
the brewery for year. He said he
went to the brewery with number
of companions and got beer. He Is
now in the federal service.
T.. The testimony of Joe Scott, a
drayman, tended to dispose of the
breweTy's contention that beer de-
livered was only such as had been
manufactured for the person order
ing it and held subject to his order.
Scott said he signed contract with
the brewery a year and a half ago,
before the bootleggtng law went into
effect. He was absent in Canada for
a year and on his return he obtain
ed beer from the brewery without
delay. He testified that he had given
some of 1t to soldiers.

"a The witnesses were examined by
assistant Attorney General Bronson.
Il A sharp colloquy took place be-
tween Attorney George Bangs, repre- |
.senting the defendants and Assistant |
Attorney General Brennan. Bangs |
charged that the seizure Of the books |
of the brewery and their retention |
was illegal and criminal"
I Brennan reported:
s.s III, the attorneys for the state have |
done anything criminal they are am |
enable to the laws of North Dakota. |
We are willing to leave it with the |
courts to say whether criminality |
rests with the attorneys who are |
trying to stop violation of the law |
ior those who have connived at these
practices"
