TWO FINED FOR
STEALING COAL

Two Belgians, A. Tangher and F.
De Schampherelaere plead guilty to
disorderly conduct charges and
paid fines of $40 and costs each fol-
lowing hearing in East Moline po-
lice court this morning. They were
not permitted to leave the court
room, however, until after both
were severely lectured by Magis-
trate A. A. Niles who threatened
t;.at should the offense be repeated
charges of larceny would be
brought against them and heavy
fine imposed.
The Belgians had been systemat-
ically looting the coal yard of And
rev Allmendinger Of East Moline
for a period of several weeks. This
mornings haul amounted to 800
pounds but was larger than pre-
vious thefts, it is believed. The
men worked early in the morning
before the proprietor arrived but
were discovered by the night
Waterman. The coal was carried
away in sacks.

SNEAK THIEF.
STEALS CASH
Cash Drawer Of Paars Repair
Store Looted While Owner b
IN Rear d Building.

Between S35 and $40 in cash was
taken from the cash drawer OF the
A. T. Paul bicycle repair shop,
1921 Third avenue, Moline. about
$3.50 yesterday afternoon. No ar
rests have been made in connec-
ton with the theft, which Is be-
lieved to have been done while MT.
Paul was doing some repair work
in the rear Of the shop. He says
that only in a five-minute interval
could anyone have touched the
cash drawer.
According to Mr.. Paul's story,
he went to the rear of the shop
with q customer, returning flve
minutes later to find the drawer
open. After checking over the
contents he found two 10-dollar
bills, two 5-dollar bills and be-
tween IS and SO in small change
had been stolen. Three dollars in
bills we're left.
Mr.. Paul states that it is not the
first time that the drawers Of his
shop have been opened while he
was working in the back room, but
that on previous occasions the
thieves had evidently found moth
ing they thought sufficiently valu-
able to remove. A high counter
runs the width of the shop near
the front, which obstructs the view
of the front portion Of the estab-
lishment.

GRAIN MARKET
DROPS ON RAIN
over ILLINOIS

Chicago. Aug 31.-Heayy rains
last night wore reported from SEC.
tons Of Illinois that have been dry
for 3 long time and this had. the
effect Of causing : break in wheak
prices today. At the start the mar
ket was unsettled with December
down 1c ct 3.3e, while March Staxt-
ed Nc higher at 3.3sh. Both do
liyeries soon ranging from &c to
Sic.
Wheat delcined readily, due to
selling induced by reports that
Canadian wheat had been sold to
the seaboard at about 10 cents un-
der the domestic price. The mar
ket closed extremely heavy 1t .
net loss of 3Ac to &c under yes
terday's finish, with December at
2.32 to 2.33 and March at 2.35.
There was rather general COM
mission house selling Of corn IN
evidence and pressure has been on
the market since the start. The
heavy rains Of the past "A hours
were said to have eliminated
drouth talk as q market factor for
some time to come. After starting
Nc lower to Nc higher, with Sep
TENDER 1.44h to 1.44k and De-
cember 1.21x to 1.22, the market
declined but later a rally checked
the drop.
September corn flnctuated rap
idly after the rally had taken hold,
the market responding very quick
ly to any good buying, the senti-
ment being very bearish. The fin
ish was weak at q net loss of lhc
to 2Ac from last nights close with
September at $1.42 to $1.42N, and
December at $1.20A to $1.20h.
Oats sympathized with othef
grains, the sentiment being decid-
eddy bearish. The buying support
was limited. After an unsettled
start with prices Ac lower to We
higher with first prices for Septem-
Der at 67Tc to CSC and December
Csc to an eighth, the market eased
of.
Provisions ruled fairly active
There was some local buying and
selling was scattered, some locals
shorts covering at the advance, in
itial quotations ranged from 15c tc
zoe higher.

WEEKLY PROVISION
AND GRAIN REVIEW

Chicago, Aug. 21.-The general
trend of prices in grain and pro-
visions was downward this week.
Armistice talk at the tail end of
last week started prices down the
toboggan and poor support and a
steady selling pressure caused fur
Their recessions, which at times,
however, were checked owing to a
good buying by cash interests and
by exporters Compared with a
week ago, wheat prices this morn
ing were one to three cents lower;
corn was down 11sc to 4hc; oats
showed loss of 1hc to SIC:
while provisions were of 62kc to
s1.30.
Talk Of arnistice between Rus
STA and Poland early caused the
break in wheat and this was fol-
lowed by additional recessions
when commission houses became
free sellers. The decline was
checked about midweek, because OF
a good export business and buying
by cash interests. Lack of pres
sure, however, soon became evi.
dent aid with the liquidation in
corn, the market went to further
lower levels.
Rains as well as the armistice
talk, coupled with poor support
kept corn under pressure. There
seemed to be feeling among trad.
ers, that over-confidence was shown
by the bears, and it also seemed
that the market was oversold.
Oats displayed heavy tone
there being considerable pressure
in sympathy with other grains.
There was some liquidation ir
/ provisions, with packers buyine
some lard and prices were easier
with the trade limited.
