Pedestrians ran into doorways and duckcd

Colos thirty years old, of 1919 South Alder
street, whipped out revolver and fired four
shots at random.
Colos was reloading for another fusilIade
when a man crouching behind a tree leveled
a pistol at him. The bullet furrowed across
Coloss chest and lodged in his right lung.
The wounded man staggered back to his
home. fired three shots from his doorstep
and then went TO a second-story front bed
room and started "snipng" from one of the

Wheat.-The market was heavy
throughout the day. closing l Il d2hc
net lower. The volume Of business was
not great, but the selling was more ag-
gressive than the buying, and senti-
ment leaned more to the bear side. The
trade was cautious about taking chances
on the long side of the market, owing
to the popular demonstrations against
the high prices of all kinds Of commodi-
ties. In many quarters the situation
was viewed with considerable alarm,
and il was feared that some drastic
action would be taken in order to re-
lieve IL.
In this connection reports from
Washington that a bill had been intro
duced there BY a Senator from New
Jersey providing for an export embargo
on food stuffs added to the feeling OF
uncertainty. Premier Lloyd Georges
speech. admitting q shortage IN ocean
tonnage, was not considered a fayora-
bic forecast for export business, al
though the fact that importations of
many other commodities were 70 be
curtailed was expected 70 furnish
greater amount of tonnage for the ship
ment of grain and -four, so much need
ed in England.
"The Modern Miller" report said that
the lack Of moisture in Kansas and MIS-
souri, is pronounced, and snow hurrles
during the week were negligible. There
was some export inquiry, and sales
for the day were estimated at about
500 900 bushels.

Gains recorded in the cotton market
on the early trading yesterday as the
result Of firm situation for spot Of

when subsequent news Developments
suggested further restriction OF ex-
ports.
After selling at 1850 on the early
advance May contracts broke to 1929
and closed at l6.2le, with the general
list closing at a net decline OF 9 to Is
points.
The early attention Of the trade
centred on the March position. There
had been uncertainty as 10 how much
cotton would be delivered on March
contracts, but few have anticipated as
low a figure as indicated by early
estimates placing the notices at less
than 5000 bales. This promoted COW
ering by shorts. There were further
complaints Of delayed new crop prep
arations. and the early advance car
ried the active months IS to % points
net higher. Considerable realizing
was encountered around these figures
and the selling became more active on
the announcement Of Great Britain
new policy with reference to imports
Prices broke some 80 TO 43 points
from the best under liquidation and
