Chicago Market
GRAIN AND PROVISIONS

Chicago, May 29.-Wheat suddenly
became a drug on the market in Chi
cago today, burdening owners and
10 cents a bushel as compared with
earlier dealings in the board of trade
session. Nearly $50 carloads la ar
rived here today and with prospective
further heavy receipts tomorrow and
next day adding to a big accumulation
whelming weight on values. The mar
ket closed unstable at pa to 6 cents
net decline with May and July both
$l1S& 0S1.1SB and September $1.16&@
l.16b. Corn finished Is to ~ down
and oats off $50 a.. In provisions the
outsome varied from unchanged figures
to II cents higher.
Although it was definitely known be-
fore the opening that new arrivals Of
wheat here today would exceed 500 car
loads, the fact that deliveries on May
contracts 595 900 bushels, were of less
magnitude than generally had been
!ooked for led to a temporary upturn
in prices.
Leading holders of wheat were quick
to take advantage of the transient rise
while there was a good opportunity.
This change of front, however, had a
boomerang effect soon before the rank
and file of dealers grew aware of the
situation. A general selling movement
was precipitated and the market was
found to be bare of any support ex-
cept from miscellaneous shorts. Then
prices fell almost inert, and closed at
the bottom level of the day.
Corn and oats were dragged down by
wheat.
Provisions averaged a little higher,
chiefly as a result Of lard buying as
cribed to foreigners.
The prices of futures ranged as fol-
lows:

New York Market
FINANCIAL

New York, May 29.-Coming between
the weekend and an impending holiday.
today's stock market session displayed
unexpected activity. breadth and
mainly at substantial gains, aggregated
LBS 900 shares.
Speculative interest continued to GEN.
ter in the transportations, the wage
cut by the railroad labor board evident
ly being regarded as a decided offset
to the forthcoming reduction in freight
rates.
Numerous railway issues were lifted
one to two points during the forenoon,
but a considerable part of this gain was
cancelled or materially reduced later
on expectations that maintenance OF
way and railway shop employees might
order a strike vote on the wage ques-
ton.
The market was put to another test
of its endurance just before the close
on news that the United States supreme
court had declared the Southern Pa
cific-Central Pacific combination illegal.
This precipitated unusual selling and
accentuated the irregular tone at the
end.
Other prominent features Of the early
and intermediate periods embarced
many domestic and foreign oils, notably
Mexican Petroleum and Standard Oils
Of New York and California, Phillips
Petroleum and General Asphalt.
SteeiS, mOIOfS anu equipments rose
I to s points while the advance was
under way.
General news over the weekend was
to the markets conservative
side. Copper prices hardened and state
ments from authoritative sources re-
garding the steel merger were more re-
assuring.
Further expansion of clearing house
loans and discounts contributed to
money tendencies. Call loans
opened and held at 4 per cent until the
ina half hour, when the rate was ad-
to Az per cent, with smaller
offerings of time funds.
Belief that definite results will follow
the meetings Of the allied reparations
commission infused further strength to
exchanges. Sterling re-
held at last weeks average
quotations, but all the allied bills were
with German marks. |

ment to pay six cents a thousand fol-
the water, and no authority to use con
Wet labor in the construction of the
water plant.
On cross-examination he testified the
minutes of Sept. 5, 1908. showed bids
called for water and that Conley &
McTague had presented bids on water,
milk and butter. and that the minutes
Of Nov. ember, 1909, showed the clerk
had been instructed to ascertain water
rates of other cities in quantities of
10000 gallons a day in order to arrive
at a basis of the price to be paid Con-
ley & McTague. but that nothing fur
ther appeared on the minutes in regard
to this question.
Entitled to Use Convicts
Due to the inability of the state to
produce any witnesses upon the mat
ter of the use of convict labor on the
construction of the water plant. the
state called the defendant. Mr.. Conley.
for that purpose.
He testified that in the construction
Of the plant and in the laying of the
water mains in 1903 and 1908. convict
labor was used, but this was during
the time Conley & McTague was car
ing for the convicts under the con-
tract system and they were entitled
the labor of the ~convicts on any
work they cared to use them at.
After the senate purchased the
prison. convicts were used but twice
on work in connection with the water
plant, he testified, once in repairing a
break under the river, and once in
an extension of 1900 feet of
pipe. During this work, he said. the
convicts were paid personally by the
water company at the rate of So a
rod for trench digging and SO a day for
filling in the trenches. He said this
work cost about $500 and was fully
shown in the prisoners cash book.
Questioned by Mr.. Rankin about the
work of Mullan. Mr.. Conley said Mullan
repaired the mains and that he did a
of work for the state. but that
he never drew a cen of pay from the
state. He said he employed a guard
during this latter construction work.
but that he was paid by Conley & Nc
as was done in all cases where
guards were employed on n work
for the Conley & McTague interests.

Plant Worth SIS, 900
He said he had fixed the value OF
the plant for rate making purposes al
$4,000 and that in a permanent towr
like Deer Lodge he would allow ar
earning of ~probbaly eight or nine per
cent. He testified he had found the
earnings of the plant, taking a seven

1914. to the close of 1921, to have been
$61,S13.1S, the operating expenses
$19,391.61 leaving a gross income of
$42,415.57.
This gross revenue. he said, had
been dispersed as follows:
Renewals in plant, S6.S26.O1: well
drilling expense. $1.S66.23: profit and
loss. S32.65; common stock dividends,
$333.690.6S. This dividend, he said.
would give an average annual dividend
of Sc per cent if figured on the 500
600 stock issues, but if figured on the
$4,000 valuation would average So
per cent.
He said the annual depreciation,
which the water company had not taken
into consideration. should be figured
at S1.615 a year. or about . per cent,
and this. if deducted from the 60 per
cent would leave AZ per cent. How
ever, he explained, the depreciation
had been taken carr of by the

ais and we'll drilling expense.
Witness was asked by Mr.. Rankin
if the South Deer Lodge Water COM
pany had charged its income tax pay
to operating expense. He replied
it had. that for the year 1921 it
had charged S41O21 to operating ex-
penses, but that the public service
commission did not recognize this as
a proper charge.
Asked by Colonel Nolan about the
right of the Deer Lodge com
pany. witness replied that it held a
right to so inches, that it was an early
right, but he did not know if it was a
prior right.
Value of Water Right
Asked as to the value he placed upon
his water right. witness replied he
mad figured ii at S32J an inch, where
lpon Colonel Nolan sought to bring out
hat water rights in Deer Lodge valley
we're considered worth 81 1000 an inch.
The witness testified that while he
1ad fixed $4,000 as the value of the
plant for rate-making purposes. it had
,een assessed for taxation at only SIG
