The Markets
REPORTS BRING
BOOST TO CORN
Assertions That Much of Crop
Would Have to Be Replanted
Result in Advance.

Chicago, May %. - Assertions
that much corn would have to be
replanted unless weather condi-
lions changed soon did a good deal
today to rally the corn market At
first, weakness prevailed owing to
a sharp break in the value of hogs.
Bulls in corn, however. made much
of an opinion by a leading expert
that in the surplus corn states the
crop was now two weeks late
Opening prices, which ranged from
the same as yesterdays figures to
12c lower, with July at 1.64A to
1.65 and September at 1854 to
1855, were followed by moderate
declines all around, and then al
upturn to slightly above yester-
d avs finish.
Oats paralleled the action of
corn. After opening &c off to 1c
higher, with July at 68B to 68B,
the market scored a general gain.
Provisions dropped with hogs.
Special notice was taken of re-
ports that the government would
resell large quantities of meats.
Later, the scantiness of receipts
and at other big centers tended to
uphold values. No. 2 yellow for i'm
mediate delivery commanded the
highest yet this season. The close,
nevertheless. was unsettled at 1sc
off to Il net advance with July
1651s to 1854 and September
1885 to 1854.
In the provisions market subse-
quently covering by shorts brought
about upturns, but not of a lasting
sort.

A long standing argument as to

the Indianapolis Motor speedway
will be decided during the Indian

Goux, Rene Thomas. Ralph De Pal

that event
Goux was the first European
ever to win an Indianapolis class

1913. Next year he was not so
fortunate, being bested by Rene

4 OTEER ACTING BIRD.

The yeiloW-breasted chat is an
eccentric bird both when it is sing
ing and in flying, says the Ameri-
can Forestry association Of Wash
ington, which is conducting the
national bird-house building con-
test among school children in this
phase of outdoor life. Wien these
birds sing their musical effort
seems to require a great deal of
flirting of the tail and twisting of
the head: and even when they are
fying their tail Jerks up and down
giving them a strange appearance.
The song of this bird is scarcely
worthy of the name, having been
called a series of grotesque syl-
tables"

Ticket Sale for Jess-Jack

Bill Mccartney, a representative
of Tex Richard and Frank Flour

Mccartney was bound not to dis

and Al Bloom, and it is more than
probable both these parties will
handle the pasteboards. Bill did
say the tickets will be placed on
sale by next Monday at the latest.
Expects Crowd Of $4,000.
Everything in Toledo points to
the largest crowd that ever saw a
short bout" Mccartney said. I'm
all my ring experience l never saw
such a demand for tickets SO long
before a contest. Requests are be-
ing received every day from all
parts of the country, and it is my
honest opinion that Promoter Rick

the scene and starts training more
interest will be aroused. Dempsey
has made a great hit with the To

He is eager for the fight and his
trainers will have their troubles
to prevent him from doing too

Jimmy Nearly Dead +?

The report was received in this
city last night that Jimmy Harris,
protege of Fat" Smith, is near
death in a Des Moines hospital
whittier he went in search of, more
lucrative matches. Whether or no
the report is somewhat exaggerated
is a matter of doubt. However. be
that as it may, Jimmy is a mighty
sick boy at the present writing and
even if he does pull through and
evades his trip west" he will be
unable to train for some little time.
