the trial OF Governor Len Small,
still lacked a twelfth man at noon

he stepped aside.
John L. Vetter, the 165th pros
pective juror questioned since the
trial started a week ago Monday,
was challenged for cause by the
state. Walter Wsiocke threatened to
prove a stumbling block to the
state. Ralph Dady, for the prose-
cution, challenged him three times
for cause, only to be overruled by
Judge Claire S. Edwards. Finally,
under Mr.. Dady's questioning, the
juror changed previous declara-

opinion, and the challenge was
granted.

Carey, an automobile salesman,
was disqualified for serving, for
having served on ayiury within the
last year, but when the records
were produced it was found that
the year had elapsed.
Mr.. Dady tried to remove the

Curb Market
BY STUART P. WEST
Copyright, 1884,

New York, May 4.-Oil shares
were again the feature on the curb
today. Some of the recent active
fayorites in this group encountered
profit taking from time to time but
new stocks were taken up and put
to higher levels. Commission
business continued on a large scale
with stock exchange firms taking
an active part in the dealings in
the high priced stocks. The pro-
fessional operators also confined
their speculative interest TO the
oils, selling those which they had
purchased earlier in the week and
transferring their activities to the
new favorites.
New high records were establish
ed in Mexican Seaboard, Cities
Service old common, Caribbean Syn
dictate and Vacuum Oil. The first
named stock was in urgent demand
at times and moved up sharply.
Cities service old common enjoyed
the largest advance. Anglo Ameri-
can and Atlantic Lobes had up
turns and there was a good demand
for Ohio Oil, Prairie Oil and Gas,
and Galena Signal. The Wyoming
oil stocks were quite active. Salt
Creek Producers making a new
top for this movement MiScel-
laneous stocks were practically
neglected during the greater part
of the session. Radio common
was active but did not get far from
yesterdays low point. Dubilier
Condenser was in good demand and
advanced. The Motor shares were
irregular, REQ holding steady while
Hudson showed an easier tendency
at times. Other issues moved ir-
regular within narrow limits.

OIL STOCKS HIT
new HIGHS ON
LIVELY TRADE
RY STUART p. WEST.

Wall Street New York. May a.
In none of the markets were there
anv very important Developments.
The stock speculation continued to
folIow the same tine that il has
right along. Oil stocs-s were again
me favorites, and number of
these with a variety of specialties
we're carried forward to new high
prices on lively trading. AS usual,
while these advances were in pro-
ont ii other parts of the list 1t
was the same sort of mixed market
movement which Wall Street has
had for nearly four months now
The chief inspiration was obviously,
enough coming from speculative
evndicates rather than from the
outside public. Herein lay the es-
sential difference with the bull
markets of 1915 and 1918.
The inference still to be drawn
from the days bond dealings was
that the major part of the invest
ynent list had come to rest around
The current price level, which ID
actually the same level that the in
yestment portion of the market has
occupied now for nearly a month.
There have been numerous advanc-
es in bonds of the speculative type,
particularly the New York City
fractions and some of the railway
conyertibles. But the issues which
best typify the investment market.
Libertys, foreign governments and
first class railway mortgages
have long since ceased to move
ahead. They have adjusted them
selves quite fully to a and 4A
uer cent time money rate and to a
/ TO Az per cent discount on COM
mercial paper, and unless there is
to be a further sagging in these in
terest rates, the impulse to any
general renewal of the upward
movement in bonds will be lack
ing.
Sterling exchange drew closer to
the seasons high of two months
ago. But neither in sterling nor in
continental rates was the move
ment of any Importance. As
whole the exchange market was
still waiting for word from Genoa
as to what reply the Russian dele
gates would make 10 the cOndltlOnS
laid down by the other nations IN
der which trade relations would be
RESUMED and a loan granted. The
weekly statement of the English

teresting as they showed another
Interruption to the deffation in pa

100000, 900 francs as compared with

MAY CORN TIGHT
(By Consolldated Press

Chicago. May 4.-Trade in wheat
was embarrassing today. There
was some local pressure on May
early, but buying by cash interests
against sales of July caused the
market to congest later when local
shorts wanted to cover. There also
was some selling by commission
house longs in a moderate way.
Late months were inclined to drag.
Locals We're discouraged because
of the lower cables and failed to
support the market early while
hedging pressure was felt in the
July. Minneapolis denied that there
would be any big quantity of wheat
moved from that market 10 Chi
cago. Reports from the spring
wheat market told of $4,000 bush
els of Manitoba wheat bought to
come there Primary receipts as
whole continue heavy. but arrivals
in the southwest continue dis
appointing. Growing weather is
bringing in greater number of
improved crop reports. The mill
ing demand for wheat was slow.
Seaboard advised of a little bust
ness working in wheat Deliveries
on May contracts were $4,000
bushels.
Corn followed wheat. May acted
tight despite the deliveries of 299,
600 bushels. Locals sold the corn
early in sympathy with wheat and
commission houses picked it up.
Later covering by early sellers
caused a tight position to develop.
Seaboar reports some business in
export corn, but local shippers
were unable to sell much cash
corn Cash corn basis was &c
better.
Oats were easy. Deliveries of
$4,000 bushels on May contracts
forced some liquidation, but cash
and this acted as a sustaining in
preston in the later delivery. Re
ports indicate a big export business
worked in oats. Domestic demand
is fair.
Provisions were strong on short
covering and investment buying
eased on the reports of a better
cash trade and the small stocks OF
