here being . fair bunch Of clipped ewes that

lambs available.

Girl Shot Through Back;
Chum Held on Suspicion

Chicago. May ll.-Thirteen-year-
old Doris Anderson is held by the po-
lice today on suspicion that she shot
and killed Grace Hagemann, her
school girl chum, also IS years old,
yesterday afternoon over the love of
boy.
Grace Hagemann was shot in the
back, the bullet emerging al the right
side of the chest Doris. the only one
who saw the shooting, insists that
Grace shot herself The police de-
clare the course taken by the bullet
proves this impossible.
The theory Of the little girls affec-
ton for Rhine Fleck, boy friend, is
held by the police as possible mo-
tive for the death OF the girl. Jeal-
ousy may have prompted suicide Or
murder, the police hold, while consid-
ering the possibility that the girls
had entered a suicide pact and that
the Anderson girl lost her courage
when she saw her friend fall.

Cash Wheat and Corn Score
High Under Pressure of
Advancing Market
Conditions.
Omaha, May II. 1917.

The receipts OF all grains were very good
today and under pressure Of an advancing
future market and an excellent demand cash
wheat and corn scored sharp advances and
established new record prices for these
cereals.
Cash wheat ruled from to 10hc above
yesterdays market. No. Q hard sold from
1929 to s3.3l1s, while No. hard ranged
from |3.25 to '3.5lh and No. hard
brought ss.27.
&c higher. with the bulk Of the offerings
selling &c higher
The premium on white corn over the
yellow was about the same as yesterday
and yellow corn solo at a small fraction
over the mixed,
The commercial grades OF white corn
brought from sl.64 to $l,G5, the peter
grades Of yellow sold at $3.50 to Sl.6Oh,
while the bulk OF the mixed corn offerings
sold from $3.50 TO $3.50.
Todsy's oats run was fairly heavy and
while the market was firm at Nc ad-
vance. the demanL was slow and only a
small part OF the offerings were disposed
of up to noon.
The bulk of the offerings graded No. 8
and No. 4 white and No. white brought
NE, while the No grade sold generally
at axe.
Rye was strong at record prices, the No.
Z grade selling at s2.15. an advance OF
loo over yesterdays prices.
Barley was dull with light receipts and
prices were quoted nominally lower. N,
Primary wheat receipts were sl6,00c
bushels and shipments 100000 bushels
against receipts OF $4,000 bushels and ship
ments of All, 900 bushels last year.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Wheat and Corn Unsettled; Provisions
Strong and Higher.

Chicago. May 11,-Unparalleied new high
prices In the wheat market reached a point
today where leading houses refused outright
any business that involved contracts re-
curing delivery this month. To a lesser ex-
tent July also was put under n ban.
After an extreme advance OF ll%c, the
market closed unsettled 1%@9Ac net
higher, with May at s31S and July at
ss.4s% G2.5oh. Corn finished Nc off to sc
up, oats gained h6lSo and provisions
showed a rise OF 5ll5c.
Tightening up of the wheat market de-
veloped almost as soon as trading opened.
Lack of offerings, the chief reason as
signed, became more and more acute. II
seemed as II all would-be short sellers had
been scared out Of the market and that the
only selling was from longs with profits.
Denials were general that an American
government officials public references to
the possibility of the market ascending to So
a bushel was a factor in causing the new
upturn.
Material setbacks from the new top
level of wheat quotations were brought
about in the late trading. Chances OF drastic
measures by the directors of the Board OF
Trade against continued trading In the May
delivery did good deal to induce unload
ing by holders.
The limited amount OF cash wheat here
| capable OF being utilized for settling May
| contracts excited much comment. As a
| consequence No. red, an ordinary con-
whereas the previous topmost record was
| S3,32h.
Corn hardened with wheat. but reacted
after reaching a new high price level
Weather that favored planting and growth
| tended somewhat 10 encourage selling. Oats
| were bought literally on account Of their
discount under other cereals.
Higher quotations on hogs and grain
strengthened provisions, The bulge, how.
ever led to much realizing by longs.

BEEF STEERS.

Hoss--It was the old story right over this
morning, packers resisting strong bullish
sentiment for q while, but finally giving
in and buying most Of their hogs fully
loo higher. On the strength OF fresh
advances elsewhere shippers bought what
hogs they wanted about dime higher 1t
was getting close to 10 o'clock before much
Of any packer business was done. but they
had to follow the pace set by shippers, and.
az noted, put up the bulk Of their droves at
a ioc advance over yesterdays costs.
Supply proved broader than the demand
and after all the orders were filled, there
were still In the neiahborhood Of fifteen OF
twenty cars in first hands. Buyers appeared
to be through. and up to midday almost
none Of these had been able to fnd an out
let It looked likely that should any OF
these sell II would be at the sacrifice Of
most Of tho early upturn. II not all OF It.
As . general thing, the market showed a
ioc advance. Tops, which reached sl6.10.
were within loo Of the highest price ever
paid here. and the average market 10 get
