SEABOARD CLEARANCES.
WEEKLY WEATHER REPORT.

WASHINGTON. May 24.--Normal tenn
peratures almost everywhere except In
the South did much during the week
ended with yesterday TO aid the
farmers, the Weather Bureau reported
to-day in it's weekly weather and crop
review. Growth of vegetation was
hindered in the South by cool nights
and somewhat in certain North Central
and Western States by insufficient rain.
Conditions as reported to the bureau
favored a continuation of the salts
factory growth by winter wheat during
recent weeks. Rain continued to be
needed at the close of the week in Iowa.
while the crop was described as becom-
ing weedy in Western Kansas, and
stands were thin in many Nebraska
fields. Cool and cloudy weather In the
spring wheat belt was favorable for
that crop. the review said, adding that
considerable Improvement was reported
from South Dakota as a result of addi-
fional rains, and termination was sat
isfactory in Montana.
The oats crop. which generally is
backward in the interior valley States,
due to delayed sowing. improved dur
ing the week.

FLOOD OF WHEAT
BREAKS MARKET
Prices Give Way Under Strain
of Rush to Catch Expected
High Values.

CHICAGO, May 24.-With an apparent
" endless flood of wheat rushing into
Chicago 10 catch expected high prices
here before the end OF this month, the
wheat market suddenly gave way to-day
under the strain. May delivery under
went a sheer fall OF cents bushel in
value. The market. taken as a whole.
closed heavy at ~ to &c. net lower,
with May at s132 to s1.32A and July
at s122A to s1.22H. Corn and oats
both finished a to 1c. and 1 1sc. down
In provisions the outcome was un-
changed to &c. higher.
F1urried trading in wheat resulted
from belief of many traders that the
principal bulls in the market had aban-
doned the fight for higher prices so FAR
as this month was concerned. The basis
for such course was evidence that
leading houses identified with the buu
side Of the market sold to-day on
big scale and that the chief buying
support for prices came from operations
of leading shorts. the concerns which
have been actively opposing OF late the
efforts for higher prices.
Whether or not prevalent opinion that
the bull campaign in May wheat had
reached an end was correct. big re-
ceipts which seemingly were assured
for the remainder of the month formed
to-day a severe handicap against the
bulls from the start This mornings
deliveries on May contracts were S22,-
600 bushels, and fresh receipts here.
365 carloads. Besides. the Liverpool
market was unresponsive 70 yesterdays
sharp advance here. domestic millers
appeared to be holding back from pur-
chasing and no important crop damage
news was in sight.
Under such circumstances price rai-
lies grew feeble and at the last the
market made a swift downward plunge
losing 2 cents bushel for May in the
final thirty minutes OF the board OF
trade session. Corn and oats also
weakened.
Higher quotations on hogs finally
brought about an upturn in the provision
market. notwithstanding the bearish
influence of the break in grain values.

ing the attempted assault on Miss Emily
Wenk at Brentland, seven miles from
here. and the subsequent arrest Of
James Bean, twenty ty-three-year-old COL
ored laborer. charged with the crime,
TO which he is alleged to have con-
tossed.
With Bean lodged in Jail, Sheriff John
NJ. Simms and States Attorney Ferdi-
nand Cooksey went into conference last
night regarding the situation, after re-
ports OF threats that Bean would be
lynched had reached them. Simms went
among the townfolk and convinced them
that the law was acting promptly and
vigorously, and that the best steps for
the community would be to allow the
law to take its course. After noticing
the reaction Of these sentiments 1t was
considered safe to continue Bean in GUS
tody in the local Jail until trial. At the
conference, however. 1t was decided to
call an early session of the grand jury,
probably in February.
Jail Guard Increased.
'We are convinced that the people
here are going to continue law
abiding. as they have in the past. and
that any element that might propose
violence will be entirely overwhelmed
by the steady and just sentiments
of the majority of our community"
Sheriff Simms said today. ."Our Jail
is strong and will hold the prisoner
until trial"
Sheriff Simms slept at the Jail last
night, however. and number of
deputies were appointed among those
who reside at La Plata Hotel, across
the street from the Jail and court
house. in order to be ready for any
attempted violence. Two jailers are
on guard and this force is consid-
cred sufficient to cope with any pos
sible violence.
