GENERAL SALES
IN SMALL LOTS
WEAKEN WHEAT

Chicago. April 2s.-ceneral SELL
ing in small lots tended to weaken
prices today for wheat. On the de-
cline, however, houses with sea-
board connections became fair buy
ers. This purchasing was regarded
as as ign Of export business, and
was made the occasion of rallies,
though apparently not Of lasting
character. Opening prices, which
varied from unchanged figures to
l nc lower, with May Ian to
1-zsA, and July 1.o4A to LOS, were
followed by a moderate general sag
before upturns began.
Subsequently the market scored
gains. owing more or less to as
sertions that export sales in the
last ~ hours had totaled 1000, 900
bushels. The close was unsettled,
nc to 1c net higher, with MAY
1.S6h to 1.26N, and July, 1.05A to
1.05z.
Corn paralleled the action Of
wheat. After opening unchanged to
Is lower, including July at s11zc to
el4c, the market recovered most
of its losses.
Further export demand counted
later as stimulus to an advance,
part OF which, however, was soon
lost The close was nervous, Nc
net lower, to n0&c gain, with
July 62Ac to 62A@62%c.
Oats were governed by the course
OF other cereals, starting Nc to kc
on, July 375sc to 37xc, and then
reacting somewhat.
Provisions were dull but firmer
in line with hogs.

alleged to be a member Of the gang
which last summer robbed the Mo-
line Commercial Savings bank.
says.
Chief Ben DeJaeger Of Moline
sees in the attempted escape expla-
nation for the freQuented continu-
ances which have been sought and
obtained in the case pending
against him. "He was just waiting
for an opportunity to get those
saws" the chief declared.
Today Cartwright was in the Mo-
line police court for the usual hear
ing which has been held every
eight or ten days since Feb. rs,
when be was arrested in Chicago
by Pinkerton agents. The case was
again continued today.
Assistant States Attorney NJ ].
McEniry, today declared there Is
not much evidence to ofier a jury
in IN attempt to connect Cartwright
with taking part in the bank rob-
berry last August. The only evil
dence obtained 50 far, is the fact
that a number OF travellers checks
which had been stolen from the
Moline bank, were in Cartwright's
possession, according to Chief Ben
DeJaeger.
But the officials, continue strong
in their belief that Cartwright was
a member of the gang which robbed
the Moline bank.
Played Mouthorgan.
That was childish" Cartwright
declared in his discussion Of the
attempted Jail delivery, By saving
the county Jail bars. Anybody
with any sense would know I
wouldn't have anything to do with
that. 1t would be foolish to get
mixed up in it. 1 have nothing to
fear here. Why should l try to get
away? Supposing l did, and was
caught, what would jury do to me
when l got back?"
Deputies declare they looked
through a peekhole and saw a negro
saving on the bars. They add that
Cartwright was near, playing a
mouthorgan and directing the
operations.

ABOUT PRESENT
QUESTIONS
Donald II. McGibsey Delivers Ad.
dress On Wage Situation Of To.
day ct Moline.

According to the address deliv-
cred by Donald McGibney at the
Moline Turner hall this afternoon,
the failure OF. many working men
to appreciate the difference be-
tween money and the things that
money buys is the reason for the
present discomfort with the econom-
ic conditions that is prevalent in
some quarters today.
The subject Of his lecture, What
is Behind the Present Unrest, at
forded the speaker a chance to con-
slider the causes and conditions to
which the undercurrent Of dissatis-
faction is attributed. He said:
Wages as such and hours of la
Dor as such have nothing to do with
the present unrest This discon-
tent is due primarily to the un-
found belief, prevalent during the
war. that wages were not Deepen
dent upon production.
High wages are sound economi-
cally when accompanying high pro-
duction. but that happy condition
exists in no country at the present
time. High wages have high pur-
chasing value only when such
wages are paid for high production.
II high wages are paid men for high
production, the manufacturer can
market his goods without increasing
their prices, and the high wages
will thus buy more goods than the
low wage.
"On the other hand if wages are
raised and il production remains
stationery. the manufacturer must
tack the wage increase on to the
price Of his product Then the high
wage will not buy more than the
low wage did before, and the wage
Garner is no better off"
