CORN MARKET HAS
WEAK UNDERTONE
Trading Is Quiet and Range of
Fluctuations of Prices
Is Narrow.
DEALING Is PROFESSIONAL
Oats Are Easier and Dull,
While Provisions Are Irregu-
lar and Hogs Weak.

The same old bear arguments were
used yesterday in the corn market and
weak undertone prevailed Trading
was quiet and fluctuations narrow. No
new factors have entered the market
and as n result the shorts continue to
harp on the old ones. The market has
resolved itself into a trading affair, with
business small Outside buying is prac-
tically absent, leaving the professionals
to dominate. Hogs were lower. the
weather more favorable and packers
offered new corn literally. Hogs drop
ped 80 cents following action Of live
stock in the last few days. Weather
conditions all over the belt were good
and tho weekly weather report told OF
improved conditions in some parts Of the
Southwest, where the drought is said
to be serious still. Crop conditions were
said to be improved slightly by Price
Current in it's weekly review which esti-
mated the crop as 1850, 100000 bushels.
There were frequent rallies during the
day. The one which attracted the most
attention and carried prices up cents
! resulted from buying by two old line
operators. But as soon as the options
were high enough profit taking began
and II wasn't long before the market
| was selling under again. Covering by
shorts was responsible for other rallies.
| The ratio OF difference between the
prices OF September and December corn
is causing considerable discussion in
| tho trade.
| Oats were easier and dun. following
| corn through the greater part Of the
| session. Liquidation by longs and lack
of foreign trade was responsible for the
early easy tone. Offerings were large
| ant receipts fair. Professionals and cash
| interests sold. but commission houses
, absorbed in the midday and caused q
rally from the low levels. Provisions
were irregular. weakening with hogs ir
the morning. Pork declined s1.35 bar

is facing a difference of opinion which
virtually denies the actual possibility
that special territorial conditions re-
served to Italy can be contained in
the peace treaty accepted by all the
allied and associated powers.
The members of the government
and of the Italian delegation therefore
await your verdict with serene hearts.
with serene hearts the people also
await events. They who kept their
faith unshakable, their nerves firm,
and sound, their souls firm and their
spirits high, even when the appalling
misfortune of war fell upon them
why should they feel or act differently
now when facing difficulties which.
while certainly hard, are bringing
about peace? Without weakness, with
out over boldness; not overcome by
doubts. which would be injurious, nor
carried away by an eXaltation I'M
worthy of a great people, Italy in this
new trial must show conscious and
austere calm.
THE principal necessity now is that
all, in common fervor and devotion to
mother country, should determine with
sincerity and harmony to face the out
come of this great battle which faith
might have spared us. Once again I
plead that in this hour of immense re-
sponsibility for all, the truce may con-
tinue between mems differences and
the conflicts of parties.
Let us wait until tomorrow to re-
new our struggles. They will be IL
Illuminated by the glory of a greater
italy"

DROP "SILK CASE

Continued from Page OneD
After the wine had been loaded into
his car, Hussey was arrested
ContinuanceS of the case were won
by Hussey's attorney. Last fall an
other continuance was granted when
physicians stated that Hussey should
go to Arizona for his health. Many
letters were sent to the attorney gem
erals office and influence brought TO
bear by friends of Hussey who desired
dismissal of the case.
Friends of law enforcement in the
state watched the case closely Hus-
sey had been rated as crusader ana
a refOrmer. 1t has been asserted that
he has been active in church and re-
form afafirs. On occasion, it is stated.
the defendant had sent letters to the
newspapers attacking the lax methods
of the Wichita police department anc
pleading for a cleaner, purer com
munity Then came the arrest of the
reformer himself.
Now the Dismissal.
According to the story which comes
from Wichita, Cliff Matson. an as
sistant attorney general, dismissed the
suit and his action carries the o. n
of R. ]. Hopkins. attorney general, on
the journal entry. Matson's home is
in Wichita.
1t is asserted that County Attorney
Conley of Sedgwick county appeared
IN court on the opening VI Tie SSoSlOll
April and stated that the Hussey
case was for trial. That was the day
for assignment of cases. Hussey's
case was set for hearing April "a.
April 7just one day after the case
was assignedthe attorney generals Of
flee appeared, thru Matson, and made
formal motion for the dismissal of
the case without prejudice. Altho it
was sixteen days until the date of
hearing, the journal entry shows the
case to have been dropped for want
of prosecution" The entry with the
is now on file in the office of the
Sedgwick county clerk of the court.
Records also show that Hussey' s
Packard car had been seized at the
time of his arrest. This car had been
released to Hussey on bond. This
over Brewster's protest, it is stated.
Hopkins is in Louisiana. Matson
was asked today concerning the states
reason for dismissing the case.
Jury Might Not Convict.

get a conviction he explained. INC

The court had thrown the Mcqueen
case out of court and 1 didn't see
any reason for prosecuting this ac-
| ton"
Does the uncertainty of jury actor
mean all liquor cases in Sedgwicl

| Matson said it did not. In spite OF
