REPORT ON CROP
INJURY CAUSES
WhEAT.UPTU TURNS

Chicago, April 18.-Fear that
damage to the new crop had been
done by low temperatures led to
upturns today in wheat prices. Bly,
ing. however, lacked volume, and
with warmer weather in prospect an
increase Of selling pressure soon
took place. Sellers contended that
crop damage would prove to be of
only a minor sort. Opening prices,
which ranged from Nc to &c higher
with May 1.2y to 100, and July
1.09h to LILO, were followed by a
material setback and then some
thing Of a rally.
Continued importation of Canad-
ian wheat and break in price at
Winnipeg led subsequently to a
sharp decline here. The closing
was heavy, sac to 4Ac net lower,
with May, $1.24 to $1.24A, and July
$1.05 to $1.051..
Corn hardened with wheat, but
later was inclined to sag. After
opening y to NC higher, including
July at 81 to 62A, the market
reacted to slightly below Saturdays
finish.
In corn; later in sympathy with
wheat the market declined further.
liberal exports also helped to
check the break. Prices closed un-
settled, &c to 1ssc net lofer, with
July SOS 0601sc to 60%c.
Oats paralleled the action of
corn, starting unchanged to &c
higher. July SSA to 39bc, and later
dropping down.
higher quotations on hogs gave
some frmneSs to provisions

TAX QUESTIONS
PLACED BEFORE
CITY ELECTORS


Precedence over tho usual cleo
ton to name Moline city onieials
will be taken tomorrow BY two tax
propositions. The polls will be
open from 7 to 5.
The propositions are that . two
mill tax for = municipal coliseum
and an increase Of one and one
third mills In the tax for the city
hospital be levied. These Ques-
tons involve issues which are ex-
pected to lend considerable excite
ment to an otherwise tame cleo
ton.
Socialist candidates have hled for
mayor. city clerk, and aldermen In
most OF the wards, but 1t is expect
ed that these contestants will cause
little opposition because OF the
large vote which the tax issues are
expected to draw.
Independent aldernanic petitions
have been filed in three vards-the
First, Sixth and Seventh. 1t il ex-
pected some excitement will be
staged in these wards. One Demo-
cratic candidate, r. R Glenn. has
permitted his name to stand as a
nominee for the long term in the
Sixth ward.
Albin Anderson, one Of the de-
feated G. o. P. candidates. who
filed as an Independent, will oppose
Gustave Holtz. winner Of the Re-
publican aldermanic nomination in
the First ward.
r. Buelow is making contest
.or the short term in the Sixth
/ ward and will oppose E. L. Taylor,
the Republican candidate. T. b.
Morgan is an Independent candi-
date in the. Seventh ward. Mr..
Morgan, judging from an incom-
plete petition filed before the pri-
mary, is q member of the Farmer
Labor party. John Huey is the Re-
publican candidate in this ward.
The coliseum proposition has the
backing Of the city administration
and also Of many civic organiza-
tons in the city. Endorses OF the
! coliseum tax declare the building
will serve as a memorial to Moline
men who gave their lives and their
services during the war. There is
q silent undercurrent of opposition
to the proposition, in spite Of the
general endorsement of city Off
! Gals, and appearances indicate the
vote will be far from 0ne-sided.
Opponents hold that the time for
| the construction of a coliseum is
not ripe, that already the taxes are
high and the small fund which will
be available will not be sufficient
to erect a suitable building.
On the other hand, the hospital
tax seems to be meeting with gen.
eral favor, and it is expected a
generous vote will carry this prop
losition.
