CORN PRICES \
ADYANCESOME
Good Weather and Receipts
Fail to Keep Prices
Up.

Chicago, July 15.-Although favor
able Weather and big receipts led to
q material setback in corn prices to-
day, the effect failed to last. Agrees
sive buying on the decline brought
about a rally which more than over
come all the losses. Selling pressure
was light. Opening prices, which
varied from 3-8 to 1 Ia cents lower.
with August $1.59 7-8 to LEO IA and
September $1.59 1-2 to 100, were
followed by q slight additional sag
and then a sharp upturn.
Oats swayed with corn. Trade
lacked volume. After opening Ia
cent to LIP cents down, the market
rallied to well above Saturdays finish.
Business in provisions was nearly at
q standstill. No important change in
prices develoed.
Subsequently prices scored substan-
ttal gains owing or less to q
decrease in the visible supply total
and to reports that the a supply in
many sections was not large.
The fact that exports for the week
were much larger than last year
tended to harden values in the last

tense, in he case of the government
versus John Wishek, Saturday. Or.
Rapport stated that his fears were
aroused by the government agents
alleged statements and that he did
draw $1,000 out Of Wishek's bank
on h strength of these alleged
statements.
The testimony Of other witnesses
Tor the defense on the stand tended
to show intense rivalry between Nc
1ntosh banking interests.
Land Commissioner w. J.. Prater
testified that he was conducting a
land sale in Mcintosh county Feb.
5. 1918, during the second Liberty
loan campaign, and that John Wishek
was active among the loan workers
tn Mcintosh county, and that he,
Wishek, came to the witness and
asked him to adjourn the land sale
In order that Wishek might speak
to he farmers on the subject Of the
A0S~As AoICA odAO IIIdI W4SL10k
did talk on the loan, explaining its
purpose and need, and urging the
farmers TO invest, and that the wit
ness also spoke along the same
lines.
Several witnesses were placed on
the stand to testify as to the defend
ants activity in connection with the
second Liberty loan campaign. It
testified that Wishek had adver-
tised his readiness to loan money at
6 per cent, under the current rate
of interest, to prospective purchasers
or bonds who were in need of money.
Every witness for the defense is
being subjected to a greulling cross
examination by District Attorney
Melvin A. Hildreth. Under such a
cross examination, Reuben Bodman,
a cream buyer and head sof a large
family, broke down Inc cried when
the prosecution brought out Incl
dents alleged to have been connected
with his former days.
John H. Wishek, the defendant, is
assisting in the conduct Of the de-
tense. closely noting all the testi-
mony and frequently offering sugges-
tons. Mr.. Wishek's wife and chill
dren are here with him during his
trial. 1t is probable that the defend
ant will go on the stand in his own
behalf today, and his testimony is
expected to occupy an entire day The
prosecution rested its case last Fri
day with some witnesses still to be
called.

Where is your Croix?" I asked.
ooh a couple of nights later I hit

Finally he gained his request.
Following back of the American
