TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, April 6.-CORN-Foreed closing
out of trades belonging to a firm which
had been conspicuous of late on the bear
side of the corn market led to a fresh
advance to-day in(the price of nearby de-
liveries of corn. As soon, however, as the
open interest referred to had been covered
the market underwent a sharp decline. The
forced buying was estimated at 1,00o,0O0
bushels. The subsequent setback was
ascribed to heavy calling OF margins, as
much as 15c bushel on corn being de-
manded IN some cases. Opening quotations
which ranged from &c decline to INC ad-
vance, with May sLd8 to Sl.67 and July
S1.60 to $1.61, were followed by tumble

most important business that the

down in the hearts of practically every
Negro, whatever his business success,
whatever eminence he may have
reached, whether farmer or profession
al man, and however much money he

The Colorado statesman., 1920-08-28

James Z. Garrigues, candidate
for Justice OF the supreme court
to succeed himself, is a native OF
Indiana. He was brought up on
a farm in Dearborn county IN
that State, and spent his early lie
at farm labor, with three months
schooling in the winter. He was
admitted to the bar i'll Iowa In
1877. He became citizen OF
Colorado III 1888, locating at
Greeley, in Weld county. His first
public service was as district at
torney of the Eighth district, in
which office he distinguished him
self by faithful service-always
prosecutor, never prosecutor
Subsequently he became district
Judge of the same district, which
position he held until the close of
the year 1910. In January, 1911.
he became an associate justice of
the supreme court, having been
elected thereto at the general
election of 1910. In January,
1919. he became chief Justice,
which position he now holds. In
addition to sound legal learning
and judicial temperament, he
possesses rare executive ability,
which enables him to dispose of
court work rapidly. Since he has
been chief justice the supreme
court, which has been for years
far behind in its work, was able
lately to announce that it was up
with its docket. and at the July
adjournment. 1920, every ease at
issue was under consideration.
The record of his public serv-
ice is without blemish, and one Of
which anyone might Justly be
proud. His friends believe that
he is entitled to a second term
upon the supreme bench. and that
the loss of his wide and ripe ex-
perience would be a distinct loss
to the state.
While always a sound Repub-
lican, and a good party man, he
has never been a rabid partisan.
nor has he ever permitted himself
to be identified with any faction
or machine. The substantial and
qualifying majority which he re-
ceived in the state assembly, with
out the aid of any machine and
without any organized effort, was
a voluntary tribute to his worth
as man and his ability and
faithfulness as u public servant.
Personally, Judge GarrigueS is
a plain, unassuming, modest gen
tleman, who finds his pleasure in
his work on the bench, and his
happiness in his home.
The Colorado statesman., 1920-08-28

am glad of the strong auxiliary or
ganiZationS that are allies of this
league, such ms the Bankers Associa-
tion, the Undertakers' Association, the
