complainant denied having made any
representation as TO the amount OF
wood in the pile and with this set OF
facts before them the case went To-
the jury about $3.50 Tuesday after
noon. and but a short time was con-
sumed by them in allowing the claim
OF the complainant.
No Cause For Action
The next case considered was that
OF Block VS.. Wunder. This was an
Iron River case also, the
two attorneys who had monopolized
the courts attention changing sides
in this case, Mr.. Power appearing for
the defense and Mr.. wafTen for the
complainant.
Mr.. Bloc, an Iron River merchant.
who came to that place from wausau-
kee, rented the Wunder building TO do
business in. The lease was on date
OF Dec. 1, 1918.
Bloc claimed that Wunder DELAYED
getting the building ready and ne-
elected necessary work on he build..
ing SO that he was put to a great loss
on his stock OF goods. The loss was
occasioned by his inability to omen nm
Tor the holiday trade. by water which
came through the roof. damaging his
goods and by the cold freezing MANY
vegetables which he had In the buildG
ing for personal use. The DELAY came
from what he termed Wunder's fall
ure to have the glass front put IN.
The defendant Mr.. Wunder claimed
that when he was putting in the front
according to the original plans Bloc
asked that change be made and agL
reed to the delay because II would give
him different front in appearance
from any other store in town. He
denied that the roof leaked.
Each side placed witnesses on the
: stand to prove it's case. Bloc, under
a searching cross examination by Mr..
. Power showed a very poor memory
and that mitigated against him.
The case lasted an entire day but
the jury took comparatively little
I time in arriving at a verdict OF "No
q cause for action"
Where Friendship Ceased
The next case was one brought by
Carmelo Garufo against Carlemo Rig
: oni for money which the complainant
u claimed to have loaned the defendant
/. II was another Power-Waffen case
: and was put on trial Thursday
morning.
Gurafo claimed that he loaned Rig.
oni the sum OF $25 at two separate
times. The first loan OF $25 was
made to allow the defendant TO pay
board bill The second loan was
, made 10 allow defendant to get some
OF his friends out OF jail.
Defendant claims that the loans
: were never made; that he had receiv'
ed no money from Garufo. The jur,
! decided that Rigoni had a defective
n memory for IL awarded complainant
e the $50 that he asked for.
! This ended the jury cases. Some
= minor chancery business was cleaned

porarily lost its influence. The farm
ers have been loath TO sell. nOtwith-

less than two-thirds those Of last
year and stocks at Chicago and Kan

slow. consumers anticipating lower
prices than the price of wheat and
labor gives reason 10 expect. Corn
has benefited by good rains in some
states. but needs moisture elsewhere.
Supplies of old corn are thought TO
be large. while supplies OF old oats
nre small. A larger corn movement
is not improbable. Frost scares

Some buying Of wool for regular
consumption is in progress and the
past few weeks have brought a wild
er distribution and more interest
than at any time since the bottom
dropped out OF the market. New
clip woods from countries in the
southern hemisphere will soon be
available. Manufacturers appar-
emily do not anticipate an immediate
change in the demand for high grade
fabrics. which has put fine wool at
a premium since the armistice.
Coarse wool remains an absolute
drug on the market. Carpet mills
have large supplies OF wool 10 choose
from. No signs OF a revival in the
goods trade have vet appeared. Such
Improvement as has been noted In
the wool trade is slight. Growers

the clip is held in country pools.
