MARKET REPORTS
GRAIN.

Chicago, AprI 3O.-Forecasts OF
warmer weather likely to facilitate
planting, gave some advantage to-
day to bears in the corn market,
Continued rains, however, tended to
keep prices unsettled. The fact
thar old corn in cribs was certain
to be further damaged by excess
Of moisture was also a disturbing
influence. Opening quotations,
which ranged from the same as yes
terday's finish to Is cent lower,
with May $l.27 3-8 and July $1.49
II to $l.49 3-4, were followed by a
moderate upturn, and then a sag
lower than before.
Oats weakened with corn. Alb
scnce of any urgent shipping call
was a handicap on the bulls. After
opening unchanged to IA cent low
er, with May 70 IL to 70 3-4 cents,
the market fluctuated rapidly but
for the most part under yesterdays S
finish.
Pork continued to show extreme
weakness as result of liquida-
ton by holders. Offerings of lard
and ribs were scarce, and both COM
modities scored moderate gains.

Tulsa World: The meeting in
Kansas City Friday likewise devel-
oped a fine spirit of patriotism. Here
the rehners were joined by the gen
eral counselor, r. L.Welch, who was
fresh from Washington, and a mes
sage of good cheer it was that he
brought them. "No trouble ne
said, "is in sight anywhere. We are
doing our best and it is remarkable
how much our best really amounts
to. Fuel oil is going forward in a
steady stream and | am gratihed to
hear that it is a great task the rail
road agents have each night in max
ing out the waybills and are working
overtime in doing so. The market
for gasoline is just beginning with
warmer weather, and no shortage is
in sight anywhere. The market has
strengthened a trihc with the / IL
cents per gallon and this should
lead to better buying as the price is
doubtless low
The above is not the exact Ian
guage used, but it IS in substance
what Mr. Welch and Others said at
the meeting and, above all, as indi-
Gated in yesterdays message from
Mr.. Welch and printed in this col
umn, there is no reason for the false
rumors that rehners are in favor Of
asking for the abolition Of the pre-
MUM To repeat the message, "The
independent refining industry has
been built up on premium and it is
not going to bite the hand that has
fed it."

The Tulsa oil correspondent OF
The Oklahoman has the following
to say of the Gypsy Oil Company S
big well on the Shumway lease in
Kansas: Well No. OF the Gypsy
Oil Company on the Shumway
lease in Butler County, Kan, which
after establishing a record for pro-
duction in the Mid-Continent field
suddenly stopped some two weeks
ago is still on strike, AT the time OF
its sudden quitting the well was
making more than 5000 barrels a
dav which at current prices means
a loss of $13,50O day, which in the
aggregate amounts to quite a tidy
sum. Nothing like it has ever hap
pened around these parts before.
Wells have gone down rapidly in
production and many Of them have
gone into water with a good deal OF
oil mixed, but none has ever just
stopped right off just as though it
had neve rbeen started. The still
alton is the most interesting which
has yet arisen especially in view OF
the fact that the offsets of the same
company on the same lease are still
producing their daily quota OF oil
and still holding up.

 rison of Easlford

MORNING FIRE AT
 PUTNAM SILK CO.
Boiler House and Coal Shed Damaged.-Plant Can
 Not Run Next Day
Blaze May Have Started In Coal or
 From Boiler

The boiler house and coal shed of the Putnam Silk Company, one of the John A. Dady interests, were prac- tically destroyed by fire at o'clock Tuesday morning. It is thought that spontaneous combustion in the coal bin or fire from the boiler caused the blaze.
 The alarm was rung in at five min utes of three. On account of the bat tery on truck No. ?, now stationed at fire headquarters, being out of order their machine had to be driven with out lights. The hose was hitched to a hydrant on Woodstock avenue and the water pressure was very strong. While working to save the main building the fremen also sought to keep the water from the interior of it, where there was thousands of dol lars worth of silk in the process of manufacture. This was accomplish ed.
 On account of belts and pipes being destroyed, it was impossible to start the speed Tuesday, but power will be installed in short time While the loss on the buildings and contents will be quite large the shutting down of the plant will also be considera- ble loss, as the company is rushed with orders.
 The company is protected by in surance and the adiusters were in Putnam Thursday

Putnam Fire Chief Saves Tenants Coin

helped the families on the lower floor get out their goods. A little was saw i ed from the upper tenements, but on account of the dense smoke not much could be done. The goods, including bedding. was placed across the street and here small children sat while their homes burned. The older ones stood around in seant clothing, but all seemed calm and there was no excite ment. Some of the people found rooms for the night at the City Hotel and others with friends The families in the house were: John Jusskiewicz and family, Felix Leon and family, Morris Harrison and family. and John Silva and family. Silva was the only one that carried any insurance.
 How the fire started is not known. It was discovered by Harrison MT Harrison said early Wednesday morn- ing, while the building was still burn ing: .I had been talking with a man or the street and had just come home. I sat down and drank a glass of beer and while sitting there heard a noise under the sink I thought the cat had got in there and l opened the door and found there was fire. My wife and l woke up the other people and got out safely" "
 
 While in one of the upper rooms Chief Boursier found a pocketbook containing a considerable sum of money. He placed it under mat tress, as the fire was practically out. He went outside and asked who lived in that tenement. and found the wo- man who owned the purse.
 Another woman approached him and asked him to go up to room, saying that in the corner of bureau drawer he would find dish full of money He went up and returned with it
 Another woman then told him if he would go to her kitchen he would find an old tea pot with money in it. The chief then procured this Apparently these people are taking no chances with banks, or. if so, have surplus in their homes
 The building was badly damaged in the upper story and throughout there was much damage by water Insur- ance was carried by the landlord
