GRAlN STOCKS

CHICAGO, Dec. Bulls had an ad-
vantage today, owing largely to &C
ceptsnce of opinions that for the pres
ent the likelihood OF enlarged receipts
had been discounted more than
enough. Prices closed nervous, q ia
1l2c net higher. with January S1.20s
TO s1.201z and May $1.1S% to $1.19.
Oats gained rs to 21sc.
The finish in provisions ranged
from 10c decline to a rise of 21ac.
Notwithstanding that rural advices
told of heavier shipments, and despite
the fact that the trade continued to
expect much more liberal arrivals in
the near future, the fact that receipts
OF corn today were of only moderate
volume had an evident tendency to
make sellers cautious. Offerings were
scarce throughout the session, and it
was noticeable that predictions of ex-
cellent weather failed TO bring about
any change in pit sentiment.
Fresh buying for export interests

Provisions averaged higher with
hogs and grain. Realizing sales. how

T. r. Brandt, cashier of the First
National bank at Tombstone. had been
operated upon again at Hotel Dieu on
Sunday, that the bullet had been re-
moved and that it was discovered that
his spine was intact and not injured
and that he was rapidly recovering
from the effects of the operation ard
that hopes were now entertained that
he would fully recover. This will be
pleasing news TO the many friends Of

strong physical condition and his men,

The Riley Auto-Tire company, dis tributors of the Smith FOrm-a-Truck attachment for this section, has just received a shipment of five of the at tachments, and expects another ship ment of ten before May 1.
 The contract for the sale of these attachments by the Riley Auto-Tire company was recently closed by a factory representative. who said ne considered the connection with the Riley company very desirable be- cause of it's distributing facilities, which cover nine counties, all in the southeast section of this state.
 "The Smith Form-a-Truck can De attached to several cars, including the Ford, Chevrolet, Maxwell, Dodge. Buick, Overland and Hupmobile." :" said R. M. Kemp, manager of the Ri- ley Anto-Tire company, discussing the adaptabiiity of the attachments. "The demand for fully guaranteed one-ton truck is exceptionally large and the Smith Form-a-Truck today IS being used in more lines of business than any other truck of the one-tOn capacity. Our orders here are far in excess of shipments, and we predict that in another year we will see a truck on every up-to-date farm, as we'll as being used by business houses for every kind of hauling. With the completion of our additional proposed bikes, which are now assured, it will be a rare thing to see the farmer us ing horse and wagon to haul his cot ton and vegetables to market"
