MARKET QUOTATIONS
RISING PRICES
CORN FEATURE
Buyers Encouraged by Statement OF
Director That scent Wheat
Bread Would Not Return.

ChicagoA April %. - New high
price records for the season con-
tinued to be scored today in the
corn market. The principal fresh
incentive to buyers was a state
ment from the federal wheat direc-
tor that he saw little chance of a
return to the five-cent loaf of
bread, and that European supplies
OF foodstuffs would be even smaller
this year than last. On the ad-
vances which ensued, heavy profit
taking sales developed and led to
setbacks. Opening prices, which
ranged from the same as yester-
days finish to sc higher with July
S1.581a to S1-59, and September
$1.5412 to S1.55, were followed by
moderate further gains and then a
series of reactions.
Hedging operations put some
weight on the market later. The
close was unsettled, sc lower to
lc advance, with July at 15s4 to
1854 and September at 1.54 to
1915.
Hogs rose to the highest prices
on record here, and provisions were
without active buyers IN the last
part of the day, with the market
slanting downward.
Oats duplicated the action of
corn. After opening &c off to 1.c
advance, with July 703sc to 70Ac,
the market hardened a little and
then tended to sag.
Provisions were somewhat easier
despite upturns in the value of
corn and hogs. Aggressive support
was lacking.

BURNING OF CHURCH
RECALLS EARLY DAYS
Continued from Page One)

Continued from Page One)
priest seized the opportunity and the
burly young ruffian at one and the
same moment and, when he got
through the insulting miscreant was
on his knees begging the pardon of
his assailant.
Father Seaman was of the build
that should have commanded respect,
for he was a giant hardened with
toll on the paternal farm and dem
onstrated that he was able to tackle
any two men in Phoebe. The youth
who was whipped took his punishment
in good spirit and after the doctors
got through patching him up, proved
one of the most ardent and enthusiasts
tic supporters of the church. The
story relates that this man personally
undertook a canvass of every mine in
the district and levied tribute in such
~brigandish fashion that when he got
through he handed the priest nearly
a thousand dollars as the compulsory
donations of parishioners whom he
had never seen or spoken TO. Not
content with this the mar rounded
up the women and children, whose
youth had been ushered in under the
auspices of the church and organized
a congregation that eventually be-
came known as one of the most en-
erous and fervent in the whole diocese.
From this beginning. Father Seaman
rose rapidly in popular estimation and
as a reward for his missionary activi-
ties and religious zeal. was advanced
to the head of the Salt Lake diocese.
The venerable bishop up to the time
of his death, often spoke of the man
ner in which he and his ally converted
Phoebe and brought into the fold those
who were not disposed to accept any
spiritual consolation or advice.
The fire which destroyed the church
was ascribed to incendiarism, owing
to the fact that the place was dis
covered to be blazing in five different
places. Some persons says the cause
was fireworks used at a soldiers re-
turn celebration and another theory
is that the confiagration resulted from
spontaneous combustion created by
chemicals used by a taxidermist
whose stock was stored In the base
ment. The church and four adjoining
houses were destroyed. and the loss
is estimated at $12. 000.-GReno

WIGFIELD OFFICES
IN TONOPAH OPENED

The Wingheld Brougher companies
have moved into their new quarters
at Tonopah, where greatly enlarged
space and improved facilities for do
ing business will contribute to the
comfort of the employees. The bust
ness of the syndicate has expanded SO
rapidly that the old quarters which
were arranged originally to accommo-
date three clerks was inadequate to
the wants of the staff of eight mel
and stenogrdphers who were required
to handle the business of the numer-
Gus companies centered in this build
ing. The new offices cost approx
mately $4,000 and embrace every
requisite known TO modern book
keeping. A feature of the arrange
ment is a mezzaine floor where the
offices of the stenographers are stu
ated, insuring them freedom from in
corruption or distraction. The APP
pointments of the offices are all in
natural oak.-[Reno Gazette.
