CHICAGO GRAINS.

CHICAGO. June 23.-Improved con- ditions as to the amount of vessel room available for shipments to Eu- rope helped lift wheat prices today. The market closed firm to 4 cents net higher, with July at 214 and Sep tember at 1S4. Corn finished + off to 5s up. oats down H to F, and pro- visions ranging from 10 decline to a rise of 20 cents.
 It took but little buying to bring about advances in the wheat market. The fact that offerings from the new crop were for the most part some what above the current level of prices gave an advantage to the bulls. It was said also that Canadian holders were firm. Tn addition to reports Of an easier outlook for a sufficiency of ocean tonnage the chief encourage ment to purchase came from official predictions of an unexpectedly small crop in Kansas.
 Week end realizing of profits for holders wiped out nearly all of an ad- vance which the corn market scored as a result of unfavorable weather. Export demand was good and offerings to arrive from the country were light. Oats paralleled the action of corn, ex- cellent crop reports proved rather more than an offset for signs of an active call from the seaboard.

NEW YORK, June 23.-Without There being anything of particular importance in the overnight happenings of kind to force short covering. prices generally were substantially higher Washington advices denote that ere long the problem of adjust ing. prices on steel and other products to basis satisfactory to all parties concerned will be accomplished with in a relatively short time as we'll per haps taxation problems. Later on this of course, should cause improvement as monetary conditions in the merlin are expected to ease. However, and while short covering may at this june ture force prices further upward. still we doubt that a broad movement in industrials can be conducted very long until lenders of funds displaying a greater disposition than at the mo- ment to offer accommodations for fix ed prices at reasonable rates.

weEkIY FINANCIAL REVIEW.

NEW YORK. June 23.-Highest money rates this year and record breaking gold imports were the salient features of an otherwise unimportant week in the stock market. Dealings contracted sharply and the undertone was often irregular.
 Call loans remained around 6 per cent which rate was exceeded when industrial securities formed the great bulk of the collateral, further discrim- ination being shown against issues of a speculative character.
 Well informed financial circles ex- pected no marked readjustment of these conditions pending payment of the first Liberty Loan installment, which calls for sSsO,OOO,OOO Almost coincident with this aresthe July in terest and dividend disbursements. which will surpas sail previous de mands.
 The treasury department has in formed bankers that steps soon will be taken to relieve the pressure on the money market resulting from the re- quirements of the Liberty Loan. It is expected fully half of the money now virtually idle will be made available immediately after the mid-year.
 Wall street expressed. disappoint- ment over the failure of the Washing ton authorities to fix upon definite schedule of rates for the more import ant staples to be purchased by the government in connection with inn pending contracts.
 The proposed war tax measures al- so gave rise to further anxiety, all though amendments now contemplated by congress are for the most part less onerous than those under consid- eration a few weeks ago.

SYMPTOMS OF BATTERY
 TROUBLES DESCRIBED

Mir. Rogers of the Willard service station says, When you go out to your garage in the morning and find that for some reason or other your starter won't work. it gives you a lot of satisfaction to know exactly what the trouble is, although you may not be able yourself to remedy it.
 "If the trouble is in the battery, cer. tain definite symptoms will denote it.
 'If you find that your battery has not energy enough to turn over the starting motor the first thing you do naturally is to test it with your hydro meter Nine times out of ten you will find that the trouble is-starving. The hydrometer will infallibly uncover this condition for instead of registering 12S0 to 1900, as it would if the bat tery were fully charged, if will regis. ter below 1900.
 Alright You've discovered tha, your battery is starved. But going back step farther. What causes it to be starved?' How did it come about that the battery which is to supply you with energy and to spare for starting and lighting gets into a con dition that it has not power enough for either one of these things?"
 How are you running your car? If you are running it in the city, short distances, stopping frequently, you are using a large amount of current for cranking the engine without giv. ing the generator a chance to restore to the battery power enough to offset this drain.
 Starving of the battery may point to short circuit, especially if in checking up you find that you are run ming the machine sufficiently to allow good proportion of energy to be re- turned to the battery.
 "Short circuits are usually found in the wiring outside of the battery and if casual test does not reveal the trouble it is always best to have the system carefully gone over by an ex- pert.
 "A short circuit, will drain a bat tery of all it's power in a very few hours.
 Some days perhaps, in testing your battery, you find one cell or two cells show the normal reading, but the third shows a very low reading. This can only be intercepted in one way, the entire battery is in poor condition. . 1. A-- II reading than the third is merely ac- cidental. The fact at the bottom of the whole thing is this. The measure of energy in the discharged cell is very probably the measure of energy of the whole battery. In such a case the battery should be recharged at once at the batter Service Station"

.COCCH| ADMITS
 MURDER IF GIRL
Wholesale Discharge of New York Policement Follows Word of Confession Made In Rome, Italy.
(By Review Leased Wire).

NEW YORK, June 23.-Simultan- eously with the news from Rome that Alfredo Cocchi had confessed the mur- der of Ruth Cruger, it was reported on high authority that at least a dozen more mtorcycle policemen would be suspended as an outgrowth of the case.
 The investigation begun by Inspec- tor Faurot at the direction of Police Commissioner Woods, it was said to- night. already had disclosed certain alleged irregular practices by motor cycle policemen, which substantiated g belief that motorists have been vic tins of petty graft through falsified records of summonses and arrests for speeding and other traffic violations. Cocchi is believed to have been a go- between for the patrolmen in many of these transactions.
 Mrs. Cocchi Quizzed.
 Cocchi had many friends among the police, it has been brought out, and his confession, it is believed, may be followed by other disclosures such as the naming of the accomplice or those who helped him to flee to Italy. Po- lice Commissioner Woods said he is particularly eager to find if Cocchi had accomplices and if he had about his dealings with policemen.
 After Mrs Cocchi had been question ed in the district attorneys office for more than two hours, it was announc- ed she had given material help" to the authorities. She told the district attorney. it was stated that twice since her husbands disappearance, the street door leading to the cellar had been found open after she had locked it.
 "Remarkable Story"
 Henry D. Cruger, father of the mur- dered girl, and Mrs. Grace Humiston, who found the body, will be witnesses Monday when the public hearing is resumed.
 After a five minute conference to- night at the bedside of Miss Consuelo La Rue, who is in a hospital suffering from injuries she said she suffered in leaping out of window to escape men she said had threatened because of information she gave out in the Curger case, Assistant District At torney Rorke declared her revelations of the white slave traffic in this city and elsewhere was lone of the most remarkable storiea ever told by a girl in New York" He said much she had revealed already had been con- firmed

GOVERNMENT AGENT CAUSES EXCITEMENT
 IN SHELTER CITY

There was a rather exciting investi- gation held in Douglas yesterday aft ernoon which, according to reports, promises to bring some interesting facts to light and as consequence the next meeting of the Douglas Council there promises to be a lively time.
 A few days ago there arrived in Douglas a man named Johnson. it is said, was sent to Douglas by Secre- tary of War Baker to make an investi- gation there as to the moral condition of the town. He went to a number of places and with the use of two sold iers had them buy whiskey, it is said. He asked the officers about different places and was told by them that cer- tain places were selling booze. He made a report to General Greene, which is said to be very bitter in it's criticism of the Douglas police force, the county attorneys office and the sheriff's office. When the investiga- tion was called to order there were present a number of the members of the city council, Chief of Police Kirby, Secret Agent Johnson, the two solG- iers who had purchased the whiskey and a soldier named Cox, who is said to have been used by the sheriff's office as a stool pigeon; and Deputy Sheriff Charlie Cross.
 General Green accused the officers of standing in with the bootleggers or that they were afraid to do their duty. He stated that there were women all over town as we'll as road houses and that it was the duty of the officers to drive them out. Deputy Sheriff Cross interrupted General Green and claim ed that it was not the duty of the sheriff's office to put a stop to the restricted district in the city as that was regulated by the City Council. As far as the road houses were con cerned. said Cross, county officers had been trying to catch the parties sell ing whiskey. Only a few nights pre- vious. charged Cross. his attempt to catch the woman selling whiskey was foiled by an army officer who was there at the time and drove away the soldiers that Cross had followed there for the purpose of watching them buy whiskey.
 County Attorney Ross was criticized because he refused to prosecute the parties that sold the whiskey to the two soldiers. He, did so, he said, be- cause the two soldiers had purchased the whiskey, two bottles. and then had carried it around all night without marking it and had turned it over to others so that when it was presented to Mir Ross as evidence it had been through several hands and no one could positively tell that it was the same whiskey.

NEW YORK. June 23.-Opening at irregular prices on relatively small operations, today's short session de veloped strength in all directions un' der the guidance of equipments and similar war issues. The only notable exceptions were shippiIgs and Saxon Motor. the latter recording an extreme decline of to 15 points and rallying little more than half way.
 Baldwin Locomotive was the strongest feature at a gross gain of 6Ss to 725s, virtually all of which was retained. American Locomotive rose almost 3 points and U s. Steel rushed forward in the latter dealings to 1302I a gain of over two points. Bethlehem Steel new shares. Crucible, Gulf States. Midvale Steels. Great Northern Ore and Colorado Fuel finished at ad- vances of l to 2ia. Rails were unusd. ally quiet Total sales 320,o00 shares.
 Unusually heavy dealings in Liberty bonds at par to 100 2-5O helped create more favorable sentiment.
 As a result of the extraordinary movements during the week actual ex- cess bank reserves again contracted by over S12,00O.00O the total excess declining to s41.S27.23O or within a million dollars of the minimum estab- lished in December, 1916. The general bond list was heavy. Total sales, par value. sS.2OO,O 900. Liberty Bonds con tributing over half.
 The various old United States bonds were lower by 1 to per cent on call during the week.

Chief of Police Kirby and his force were severely roasted by the General about the selling of whiskey and all lowing the women to infect the re- stricted district and other parts Of town.
 The citizens of Douglas are worked mp over the matter and are afraid that the report will cause them to lose their present consignment of soldiers as well as all chance of a cantonment. The next meeting of the city council there will be looked forward to with interest as some of the councilmen have already expressed themselves about the matter

 Tomorrow "Pershing Day."
 In a statement tonight on the des- ignation of Monday as "Pershing Day" Secretary Baker said:
 'It is eminently fitting that the final day of the Red Cross Week-a week devoted to collecting s100,000.0 900 for the purposes of humanity-should be called 'Pershing Day. lam sure that the leader first to carry the banner of our country to the western front will appreciate the honor and that his name. on the other hand. will act as stimulus and will urge patriotic Americans to more than complete the sum required by the Red Cross before the close of 'Pershing Day."
