CHICAGO GRAINS
AND PROVISIONS

Chicago. ILL.,, June 15-Increased
rural offerings of wheat to arrive had
bearish effect on wheat today and
prices closed unsettled Sc to sxc net
lower with July $lSlA to sL32h and
September 81. EEK to s122h.
Corn finished Nc to &c down, and
oats off NC to nc. In provisions, the
outcome was unchanged to zoe higher.
Country offerings of new wheat to be
shipped to Chicago in time for delivery
on July contracts were of sufficient
volume to put bulls at a disadvantage.
Illinois growers seemed to be pressing
to sell. In addition. Liberal receipts at
Western points, total of one million,
two hundred thousand bushels. sug-
gested ample supplies of old wheat still
on farms.
slowness of exports call tended fur
ther to weaken the market but this
factor was partly offset by word from
the seaboard that considerable busi-
ness with Germany had been put thru.
Floods in Nebraska and Kansas at
tracted notice also and reports Of black
rust in South Dakota came from a
wider area. Rallies which ensued
proved however to be only transient in
The absence of any aggressive buying.
Excellent crop reports and large
stocks on aand put corn on the down
grade and carried the oat market
along. Higher quotations on hogs gave
something of a life to provisions.

rapid depletion of Mexico supply.
Mexican Petroleum suffered an ex-

affiliated shares particularly Pan
American a. "B" shares together
with Atlantic Gulf dropped to Z

Domestic ard European oils with
few exceptions also were under pres
sure induced by additional price cuts.
The days reaction was intensified
by other unfavorable developments
notably the weekly reviews OF steel
trades condition, which failed to fore
cast increase production. Rails were

the market rallying measurably at
midday when New York Central and
several subsidiaries continued regular

Protecting the Investor.

The state supreme court has upheld the
Illinois blue sky law, the constitutionality of
which had been attacked as result of ques-
tionable transaction in Rock Island. The blue
sky law is meant to protect investors. 1t re-
quires that every issue of stock before it is Of
fered for sale in Illinois, must be passed upon
and approved by state commission.
This law is stumbling block to the fake
stock promoter who seeks to operate in Illinois.
OF course it does not keep him out of the state,
for there are ways that he is able to evade the
law. But if he wishes to do business in the
open he must conform to the provisions of the
blue sky statute
Thus when you see a stock offered in the
open market, you have reason to believe that
it has been passed upon by the state and that
it is a safe buy
Despite the blue law, Rock Island, like other
communities, suffers through the operations
of the fake stock promoters, who work under
cover. The man with money to invest ought
to appreciate the efforts of his state to guard
his interests, and if he will but exercise COM
sense he will escape losses
In the first place, when you contemplate
investing in a stock, first satisfy yourself that
it has the approval of the state department
whose duty it is to investigate the merits of that
stock. Then further fortify yourself by taking
council Of some established broker in your
home city, or your banker, either one of whom
will be glad to properly inform you
Don't listen to the fellow who promises to
double your money over night. There have
been instances where money has been doubled
quickly, but they are few and far between The
investor who wins is the one who plays the
game safely and the way to play safe is to
take council from those who know, when you
don't know yourself.

To The Argus Santa Claus Family.

On the eve of another Christmas, and in
keeping with the spirit of the hour. The Argus
desires to renew its expressions of appreciation
and gratitude to the members OF its Good Fell
low Santa Claus family who have again made
success of its annual undertaking for the hap
piness of the children of Rock Island to whom
the joys of the day would otherwise be I'M
known.
In the years that have gone since this en-
terprise launched by The Argus, it has
grown steadily until it has become a fixed in
stitution in the public mind, and in the affairs
of the community To its cause has rallied
band of noble hearted women, to whom the task
of preparing the Christmas packages is not
task but joy They love it, and SO every re-
membrance that goes out from their hands is
filled with love.
To these good women and to all who this
year, and in the other years, have contributed
to the success of The Argus Canta Claus Fund,
the thanks of this publication, coming from the
down deep recesses of its heart, are extended.
May the Christmas of these good friends be
as happy as they have made it for others.
