chafed beneath the weight Of wor-
Hes incurred by his modest reve-
nte Cleaned from his legitimate
busipess. Easy money obtained by
booo6HEing cast visions of wealth
which DeSmet could not resist, is
the police theory Of the mans dual

Chief De Jaeger and Detective Leb-
bert. DeSmet might have drawn a
larger fine had he not promised SC
profusely to discontinue the Illicit
liquor traffic.

h6ld to the grand jury by Magis-
trate Gustafson on charge OF

| TAKES UPWARD
I TURN AFTER SAG

Chicago, Dec. 13.-Wheat prices
ran, upward. today after showing
considerable depression at the
start Adverse financial and in
dustriail conditions were much
commented on, but selling orders
proved less numerous than had
been expected, and the majority of
traders appeared willing to accept
tentatively an opinion that bearish
factors had been more than dis
counted for at least the time being.
Strong commission houses led in
the buying which developed. Open
ing prices, which ranged from lc
to Sc lower, with December $1.63h
and Marchc $1.561z. to $1.5S. were
followed by a sharp advance to
we'll above Saturdays finish.
Export demand counted later as
a sustaining influence, and there
also was active buying Of futures
on the part Of houses with country
connections. Prices closed firm,
2Ac to 3Ac net higher, with De-
cember $l.68x and March $1.61K
to $1.62.
Wet weather and buying for ele-
vator interests helped to uphold
values. The close was firm, 1c to
PIC net higher, with May 71hc to
72Ac.
Corn displayed Independent
strength. After opening Nc of to
sc advance, including May at Tic
to 711ac, the market scored ma
terial gains all around.
Oats were inclined to lag, start
ing Nc to Nc lower. May 49c to
49Ac, and easing a little more be-
fore beginning to rally.
Provisions went downgrade with
hogs.
