they were killed. Tho woman referred

This may have been one Of the occa-

last night that on those occasions she
was not supposed to be going alone,

Where the investment market has
paused. the speculative market has
continued to push ahead. This ID
logical inasmuch as investment val
ues have all along been mainly gov
erned by the course Of money rates.
while speculative values have been
more connected with the development
of the trade situation. A year ago
the bond market turned the corner
fully two months before the stock
market. That was because the peak
was seen to have passed in the money
strain, whereas It was not until the
end OF the summer that there was
any announcement to believe that
general business had struck bottom.
But even the speculative movement
on the stock exchange has become In
creasingly uneven.

Speculation was the oil shares. Fridays

There were no developments in the oil

ROUT OF GRAIN TRADERS
BRINGS BREAK IN PRICES

~ CHICAGO. June 3.-Endins Of the
big May wheat deal of 1922 has made
: this week notable one for the
Chicago Board of Trade. After a
months, spectators who believed that
s scarcity of supplies would force a
big advance in prices here were
finally driven to abandon their posi-
tion. The surrender brought about
swift 10-cent break in prices, and
wheat this morning as compared with
week ago was Il to sA down. corn

cline to- advance, and provisions
Unchanged to lower.
Instead OF the predicted scarcity.
immense shipments Of wheat glutted
the market here. and it was estimated
that 100000 bushels Of wheat had
been piled up in Chicago elevators or
In loaded cars on railroad sidetrackS
within the city limits. Spectators
striving for higher prices had exer-
.cised their prerogative of demanding
actual delivery of wheat which had
been contracted for, and sellers found
themselves compelled to make ex-
traordinary efforts before it was ap-
parent that the assumption of an end
sufficient basis of reality.
Emergency rules about car-lot de-
lireries have been invoked. but other
wise the board of trade functioned
as usual. and nothing came of sug-
gestions that an arbitrary settle
n ent price should be fixed by the
boards directors. After the memor-
able May delivery was over, indica-
tions of better export and milling de-
mand helped to restore the market
to a normal basis. with the crop out

notice being taken OF news about
black rust.

to the Banner Friday by a man who

The railroad money is spent here
with retail merchants for groceries,
dry goods, bread pastries, cakes, etc,
for the use of men who are working
with the railroad along It's line, but
chiefly at Akron. 1t is said the pur-
chasing agent is former Mt Vernon
man, who Is placing his orders here
because of the disinclination of Akron

KNOXCO. NEWS

Two reports made at police head
quarters made since noon, Friday,
complained to rough talk and threats
made passengers leaving a south
bound Pennsylvania railroad train on
the station platform by union pickets.
This is the first appearance of any,
thing of this description locally since
the start of the strike only July 1. A
request for police protection was
made to Mayor Keigley by the depot
rofficers. This could not be given. how
ever. for the reason that the Pennsyl-
vania X. r. station is located outside
the city limits. Arrests can be made
there by a city policeman only when
armed with warrant. Such protec-
ton as can be given must be given
by county officers.
1t has been learned that delegations
of union and non-union men have in
terviewed Mayor Keigley to ascertain
his position as a municipal ocicer in
respect to the strike.
Mayor Keigley made clear his posi-.
ton. So long as the men conduct
themselves quietly and with regard
for law and order there will be no
interference by the authorities.
Picketing may be done but the men
on picket duty must refrain from vio'
lence or threatening language or con.
duct. Persuasion may be used but
there must be no rough stuff attempt
ed.
Gun toting by any one will not be
permitted. No permission or authori.
ty will be given to any person to
carry gun. If the police have rea'
son to believe any suspect is armed
with revolver, they have their in
structions to make search and ii
weapons are found upon him to file
charges in police court.
All the reports complaining OF
threats and rough talk coming to po
lice headquarters related what had
| happened at the Pennsylvania r. K
station. There were no reports OF
complaints of picketing or rough Ian
guage and threatening conduct at the
B. e. O. r. r. station. If such should
come from there, Mayor Keigley said
he will detail police officers to meet
all incoming trains. The B. &c o
station is located within the city lin
its and the city officers there may
enforce order without going outside
their jurisdiction.
