CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago. June 5.-There are only 1900 bushels
Of corn in Chicago elevators while at this time
a year ago there were 76lS.Uo bushels in ele-
vators and 300 bushels Aloat. As in wheat.
there Is not enough Of this gain on which
To do business. Tie president Of the Board
Of Trade. as we'll as the directors Of that OF
ganiZation have come to the rescue Of the mar
ket. having decided TO fix a settling Ivicc for
both the July and September future at 4
meeting TO 10 held soon. When the taCt is
brcught cut that the July future is II cents
under the cash article. It shows the position
Of the shorts not only in that month but
in the more deferred months. There is still
a hg open interest in the market at Chicago
and as 1t seems impossible TO accumulate a
stock here large enough which TO do buSi-
ness the next hest thing has been done.
Sentiment on corn was eNtrCm ly bearish to
day and the volume Of business was On an
enormous scale
The July wheat future was up as Duch as
10 cents today and the September ccTlts
higher While the former closed strong ana
near the top the latter sid Of some
The cats market was irregular with ciosings

Tie feature Ot the provision market was the
heavy liquidation by longs, those who led

CBy International News Seryiee.)
New York, June 4.-Stocks were ir-
regular all Of today, closing without
material net changes in any depart
ment. Marine shares were the only
ones in which there was any pro-
nounced movement. Wild rumors con-
tinued to circulate. Prices of metals
advanced. Cotton advanced and was
broken sharply twice during the day.
Trading was on light scale in antici-
patton Of the holiday.
Professionals were absent from the
street and that accounted for the light
volume Of business and also proved
that a great deal of the recent ac-
uytty has been strictly professional.
Expectation Of a good crop report
from the government on Friday was
responsible for what little optimism
existed. Professionals are counting on
thai crop report to carry the market
up another week or until the liberty
loan is closed on June Is.
Pessimism that exists in the street
Is due to the knowledge that actual
eHCOllment Of the men of military age
will bring the reality of war home to
the American people as has nothing
else. While only a small percentage
of those enrolled will actually be
called. yet every man of them will
feel himself liable To-. be called and
that will restrict his business activi-
ties

The Washington Stock Exchange

the aggregate for the whole OF last
week.
Washington Gas IS sold to the ex-

Bethlehem Steel profits available for
common dividends having equaled
more than S26 a share in the first
quarter, indications are that more
than $50 q share will be earned by
the company in the second quarter,
which will end this month. This
means between $50 and $50 a share
for the common in the first half OF
the current year, or at the rae OF
$40 to $40 a share annually. This
would be equivalent to from $40 to
$50 share on the old common stock,
which sold as high as 800 a share.
The new stock is now selling at the
equivalent of about 1885 for the old.

CLEANERS MET HERE
Wright Opera House Crowded 70,
Wednesday Meeting.

Wright Opera House was crowded
t. its fullest capacity on Wednesday
Tor the big Alma district Cleaner fed
GRAFTON rally which was held here. Il
has been estimated that fully six
hundred farmers and their wives took
in the various meetings that were
held.
The feature Of the rally was an ad
dress by Grant Slocum. supreme sec
rotary and founder of the order, on
"GleanerisIn." Slocum mentioned the
tact that the Cleaner organization
was the one farmer organization that
had held TO the farmers, and kept out
others, and that il was the one or
ganization which saloon keepers couls
not join He said that IL was bring
ing business management TO the farm,
and that through its cooperative
plan it was aiding the farmers
greatly.
Other features of the meeting wer.
the various drills that were given by
the various arbors, the recital by Miss
Lucia Bellamy Of Ionia, and the con
fering of the various degrees. A
basket picnic was held at noon.

WANT NEW DEPOT
Board Of Trade Will Go After a New
Union Depot.

If efforts, soon to be put forth by
the Alma board Of trade prove sue
cessful, the city of Alma will be as
sured of new union depot within the
near future, as it is the intention OF
the board to take the matter up with
The two railroads, and point out the
fact that the present depot is entirely
inadequate for the traffic which the
roads are enjoying in and out of AL
ma.
During the winter months the de-
pot has been crowded whenever a
train has been due, and at time, it has
been so crowded that people have been
forced TO remain outside in the cold
while waiting for trains, or be inside
with a hundred others, and be pack
ed in like the proverbial sardines. Ii
is far too small for the demands con
stantly being made upon it by the
general public, and something must be
done.
1t is understood by some members
of the board Of trade that more Of
flee help has been recommended for
the union depot to aid in the work of
taking care of the traffic.
1t has been hinted that action on
the part of the board, will bring re-
suits and the board is going after
them. A depot large enough for the
demands of Alma is wanted, and it
will probably be forthcoming when
the board starts after it.

SMALLPOX SCARE
A Two-cent Line Writer Spread il
on Good and Thick.

A Grand Rapids and a Saginaw
newspapers doomed forth the fact a
few days ago that Alma was in the
throes of a terrible smallpox scare
said article evidently having come
from two-cent line pencil pusher
somewhere around this city.
The world was informed that cou-
pie of people came down with small
pox in one of the local movies, we are
told by those who saw the article 1t
was also reported that the schools
might be closed, and that everyone
was being vaccnated, in the hope Of
escaping smallpox.
Alma was deeply stirred over the
article, as up to that time it was not
known that more than one case Of
smallpox had developed in Alma. 1t
was enlightening to say the least.
Why, we hadn't even heard that the
schools might be closed, except over
Sunday, as they are every week.
When we heard Of the scare we came
very near getting vaccinated. How
ever, we woke up and discovered that
it was written by reporter, whose
regard for money probably exceeded
his regard for the truth. As in other
cases that have been sprung in the
same papers of late.

FARMERS TO Be
GIVEN BANQUET
Board of Trade will Show
Farmers a Big Time
This Month.
GOOD SPEAKERS ARE CON|KG
Board of Trade Wants TO Inter
est Farmers in Road and City
Limits Propositions.

Before the spring elections are helc
the farmers around Alma are to have
q big banquet in Alma at the expense
Of the board of trade Of the city OF
Alma, and work in connection with
the proposed event is already under
way. Many prominent speakers will
be present, and give addresses or
good roads, etc.
President Brown Of the board OF
trade appointed w. G. Griffin, Fred
Slater and Otto Sanderhoff as a
banquet committee at the annual
meeting Tuesday night and they were
told to get things going. Alma is go
ing to show the farmers a big time at
this banquet without the cost of sin
gle penny to them.
The board of trade is most anxious
to get the farmers interested in the
movement for the trunk road west
from Alma and also in the proposed
extension of the city limits of Alma,
and il is to get together for dis
cussion that the banquet is to be
held
The board of trade realizes the i'm
portance Of both of these things to
the city of Alma and wants to take
it up with those vitality interested
and thrash the matter out, before
election day this spring, so that there
will be no misunderstanding in re-
gard to either matter. More partic-
ulars in regard to the banquet, and
possibly the date will appear in the
Record next week
