LON But. ! SANS
IN LATE DEALS

Chicago, Aug. 3S.-Wheat started
Nc to 1c lower today. With . cash
house selling ! fair amount Of De-
cember early which was regarded
q hedging against country pur-
chases in the southwest There
was some buying by . house With
seeboard connections and also
some scattered professional buying.
The decrease Of around II, 600, 900
bushels in supplies Of passage the
past week had some effect on the
sentiment. After December had
started at $1.37N to $2.33. and
March ct $2.z9h, rally quickly
ret In with Z fairly broad trade. and
and carried prices upward.
December wheat showed . firm
undertone although the best prices
were not maintained because Of
the weakness in other grains. The
March delivery was under pressure,
and at the close there was . wide
spread between the two deliveries.
Prices ut the finish were unchanged
to 1hc lower, with December,
$2.33X to $2.33h, and March $2.zS.
September corn acted tight at the
start today on scattered selling but
there was a good class Of commits
sion house buying and the early
loss was more than regained. AZ
ter opening unchanged to zc low
er with September $1.431k to $1.44.
and December $1.18% to $1.19A,
the market began to pick up
strength.
Efforts to advance corn prices
met with little success. There was
free selling on all bulges and the
market weakened further, and the
finish being we'll toward the low
point with prices Nc to 1Ac lower,
September being $142H to $1.43,
and December, $1.19 to $1.19h.
Oats started firm with prices up
Nc to sc above yesterdays finish
with September 67A to 673kc, and
December &c to 67Ac, with some
buying of September delivery by
cash houses which added addi-
tional strength to the market.
Provisions were stronger with
hogs. initial quotations being up tic
to 40c above yesterdays close.

lolins's attitude concer1ins the
aansxation Of al or > part Of South
Moline WAS clearly defined last
night BY Mayor c. p. Skinner and
A,assmen p. w. Entrikin, John
a1suson, e. L. Norgren and Will
itam Wilcox. who met . delegation
Of - property owners ct Maple
Grove school house.
"Moline u not trying p coerce.
inFelgte or force the people Of
south Moline into the city" the
mayor said. But the council isn't
starting anything. It is up to the
people Of the territory. II you pre-
sent q petition asking to be taken
into the city. we will consider 1t
and probably call an election. The
people out here will have to take
the initiative"
a There were no arguments in ia
vor OF. annexation made last eve-
ming, 1t being the mayors plan
merely to explain the city's atti-
tude in the matter. {.
AS q result OF the meeting a
committee Of property owners COM
posedof Charles King, c. A. Larson
and John Tunnicliff was named to
confer with the council annexation
committee.
Rumor has 1t that there is more
frisndly feeling between the South
Moliners and the city. One prop
erty owner In the territory propos-
ed, for annexation stated that the
people in South Moline are ready
to listen to any arguments in IA
vof Of annexation. On the other
hand, however, 1t was reported al
the meeting last night that 22f
property owners had signed the
petition opposing annexation. II
developed that no petition for an.
marathon had been circulated.

DEPOT IN ALEDO
BEING REMODH,ED

Workmen have been engaged
since yesterday on remodeling the
C. B. & @. depot in Aledo. Plans for
the change include the laying of
tile floors in the waiting room and
the addition of toilets on the north
side of the building. The ticket
window on the north side is also to
changed slightly. Old residents of
the city stated this morning that
they could hardly believe that
Aledo was to finally have a modern
train station as it has always been
the custom for the railroads to give
only the poorest facilities here.

East Moline Day at Joslin Prom.
ises Record Attendance-Band
Leads Procession.

Residents OF East Moline turned
out to see the fair in such whole
some numbers today that by $3.50
the city was practically deserted.
The procession, headed by 20
piece band composed of East Mo-
line boosters, left the Y. M. c. A.
building shortly after 9 o'clock
with pennants flying, en- route to
the fair grounds. The band wagon
was followed by long line of auto
mobiles and trucks each loaded
with boosters and picnic baskets.
A large part Of the parade was
made up of Rotarians who figured
conspicuously in the events of the
day at the fair. They were head
ed by President H. J. Banta, closely
followed by the yell leader, Ralph
E. Stolz, the latter supplied with
several thousand song sheets for
distribution at the community sing
staged by East Moliners between
events in'the grand stand. The
picnic basket saw service at the
noon hour when the Rotes encamp-
ed in a convenient spot near the
grounds for their usual Thursday
noon luncheon.
Business in both East Moline and
Silvis was at a complete stand
still all day. Merchandise estab-
lishments agreed to close for the
day, although a few groceries re-
NAMED open long enough to supply
last minute essentials to the picnic
lunches. Professional offices were
also closed as was the police court
city hall and other public Offices. II
the attendance at the fair today
could be judged by the numbers left
behind, 1t was some crowd.
