Today's Markets in Review

BY Special Wire. Thomson s Mchinnon.
COrn-There have been further cancel
lations Of purchases by eastern distribu-
tors Of corn and roads have renewed
their promises to increase the supply Of
cars, but these items were completely
oyershadowed by the industrial demand
FOR current receipts No. yellow corn
sold as high as Sl73, the entire market
averaging 1I2c higher Beyond tale
promises Of increased supply of cars.
there is no evidence OF any enlarge
ment OF receipts. On the contrary. a
strike Of railroad swttchmen in Chica go
probably viii curtail the movement. Mar
Bet is nervous because Of the level Of
IS much or more than the deferred fu-
lures. there seems no reason to expect
any radical weakness.
oats-The strong cash position in oats
is the active and important motive in
the deferred deliveries. A new record
price of S1mA was paid for contract
grade Of white oats. Ohio river markets
were again bidding here and eastern
buyers were attempting TO secure de-
livery of previous purchases. This mar
ket is not likely TO show any weakness {:
on the contrary, the May deliveries are
quite likely 10 approximate the level Of
the cash markets.
Provisions The statement Of ware
been temporarily discontinued in the
provision market The considerable
strength shown in grains was respou-
sible for short covering in products
There is said to be British inquiry for
lard, but il Is not considered of i'm

After the civil docket was disposed of at Fridays session of the Third district court in Westerly, Judge Oh- var H. Williams, called the only crim- hal case on the docket, that Of Thom- ae E. Brown. chief of police, against carmentina Toscano, charged with indecent exposure. The respondent, who was on bail, was not in court put was brought in. later. He explain d that he supposed the hour to re- Dsrt was Ii o'clock and not 3 o'clock, and the court gave him the benefit of the supposition. This after Town So- licitor Harry B. Agard stated that he had probably omitted the time when he told the accused to report in ceurt
 Toscano pleaded not guilty two weeks ago, and he renewed that plea. The alleged offence Is said to have been committed in Elm street and 1rove avenue, between 2 and 2.30 O. nlcck in the afternoon of March 22.
 Three girls, two eleven and one IF years of age, testified as to the off, fense and identified Toscano as the offender. Toscano was without counsel and he declared he had no money to give to lawyers.
 In his own behalf and with the aid pf an interpreter, Toscano told the eeurt that he had a wife and four children, resided in John street, had lived in Westerly for sixteen years and had never given the police or anyone else any trouble. He denied the charge against him and said the little girls must be mistaken in the Identity, as he was not in Elm street pr in Grove avenue at the time the witnesses said they saw him there. T.. uafl ha 1aff ot a clock, on the day the offence is all leged to have been committed and re- turned at 12.30 with medicine for his aich wife and that he did not leave his home again that day until be- tween 3.30 and o'clock. He was pos Hive of his innocence of the charge. If there was exposure at any time it was unconsciously so and caused by neglect in dressing. He declared the children must be mistaken in the Identification.
 Town Solicitor Agard said the charge was of a serious nature at best, but more so when little girls were selected as enforced witnesses He considered the evidence sufficient to hold the accdsed for an investiga- ton by the grand jury of the super fer court.
 Judge Williams adjudged Toscano probably guilty of the offence, as charged, and he was ordered held for trial in the superior court. The bond vas fixed at $500, and furnished, with James Di Marci as surety.
