RETAIL SALE IS
GREAT SUCCESS

That the East Moline dollar day

showers the stores were filed with
people anxious to take advantage
OF the exceptional bargains offered
by the merchants.
By 10 O'Clock this morning .
number Of the stores were SO
crowded that the clerks were un-
able to take care Of the wants Of
their customers.
In addition to a large number Of
persons from East Moline who
fiocked to the business district to-
day, a large number of people from
other cities as we'll as residents of
the rural district were in evidence.
Ever since Monday, when the
scheme Of concerted sale Of this
nature was first planned, every eff
fort has been put forth by the re-
tail merchants, in cooperation with
the East Moline Chamber Of Com
MERGE, for an extensive advertising
campaign in the outlying districts
as well as in the city itself.
The plan was first proposed as
an antidote for East Moline resi-
dents who have been in the habit
of trading in the larger cities. Thas
both the plan to keep home trade

advertising scheme has been q

WEEKLY GRAIN AND
PROVISION REVIEW

Chicago, March 10. Uneasiness
regarding the industrial outlook
has done much this week to put the
wheat market on the down grade.
Compared with a week ago, wheat
this morning showed a fall Of ~
cents to 81 cents a bushel, corn
was 13sc to 2c@2hc lower, and
oats down 1Ac to 1Ac@1Nc. Net
changes in provisions varied from
S5 cents decline to 2hc advance.
Although export business in
wheat broadened out at times, es-
pecially after setback in prices.
the overwhelming influence of
strained industrial conditions re-
CURED repeatedly as a resulting
factor against the bulls. Heavy
selling on the part Of leading longs
took place, and prices dropped rap
idly, Notwithstanding assertions
that green bugs appeared almost
certain to destroy Oklahoma's crop
had spread into Kansas, the best
wheat producing state in the union.
Pending definite action, too, talk
of an embargo against importation
Of farm commodities into the Unit
ed states failed also to stimulate
any material advance. On the 9TH
er hand, reports that Great Britain
and Russia had signed a trade
agreement was ignored and simple
assumption being that Russia pos
sessed no important quantity Of
wheat available for export.
Corn and oats sympathized with
wheat, but we're steadied somewhat
by falling OF in receipts of corn.
The stock Of lard here was
shown to be larger than had been
generally supposed. Export demand
for lard improved, however, and
tended to overcome the bearish eff
feet On the provision market as a
whole.

SENTIMENT ON
WHEAT MARKET
VERY BEAR|SA

Chicago, March 1s.-Forecasts Of
rain and favorable weather for the
crop. combined with = relatively
slow demand for the cash article.
Offset reports Of green bug infesta-

sponsible for . generally very bear
ish sentiment in wheat today. Com
mission houses were rather gem
eral sellers, but the buying was
scattered and mostly on resting or
ders. There was some covering IN
evidence in the way of evening-up
for over Sunday. The market start
ed weak but was easily Influenced
and rallied quickly. Opening quo
tations, which were Nc to 1hc
lower, with March $1.54, and May
$1.44 to $1.45, were followed by fur
Their declines and then moderate
advance.
The rallies in wheat were very
feeble. Liquidation set in with
support lacking and a heavy un-
dertone soon developed. The close
was weak, ~ to SIC lower, with
March 1.52 to 1.52H, and May 1.42
to 1.42H.
Corn broke with wheat but buy
ing against bids checked the de-
clines. The close was nervous,
Nc to nc lower, with May $3.50
to 66Ac.
Corn reflected the action in
wheat, the trade being light. After
starting unchanged to Nc lower,
with May at 81 to 67Ac, the mar
ket rallied slightly and held with
in a narrow range.
Oats were in sympathy with 9th
er cereals, starting unchanged 10
Nc lower, with May Al kc to Al &C.
and lowering about that figure.
Provisions were dull but higher
with hogs and on small receipts.
