Chicago, April 24-WHEAT-with the
beginning of May delivery only a week off,
the wheat market showed tendency early
today to rise in price for May but to de-
cline for later months. The difficulty OF
filling contracts for May delivery was en-
phaslzed by expectance of reduction in
the United States visible supply total. On
the other hand. believers in lower prices
put stress on advices that Canadian wheat
was already being imported at a profit,
duty paid. Opening prices, which varied
from unchanged figures to lac higher,
with May $1.4S to $1.49 and July $1.291s
to 81. 29A were followed by moderate fluct
uations in which May continued well above
Saturdays finish, with July and Septem
Der below that level.
The close was unsettled, &c to &c net
lower, with May SLASH to $1.45k and
July 81 2Sz to 81 PSF.
CORN-Seabotrd gave little firmness
to corn. After opening unchanged to Ss0
NC higher, July 65a4c to 66c, the corn mar
ket held at about the initial range.
OATS-Oats sympathiZed with corn,
starting shade off to Ne. July Also to
41zc and later hardened a little more.
PROVISIONS-Lower quotation hogs
tended to weaken the provision market.

CECIL COUNTY MARINE ON o.
s. s. DELAWARE.

Starting on a period of sea duty
with the prospect of visiting strange
ports in distant lands, Curtis Frank
lin Trimble of Conowingo, Cecil
County, Md, is now a member of the
U. S. Marine guard on the U. s. S.
Delaware, one of the largest battle
ships of the Atlantic Fleet. The
official records at Marine Corps
headquarters show that he was
recently assigned to duty on that
vessel.
Curtis. who is son of Mrs.
Blanche Trimble Of Conowingo, was
born in that village twenty-four
years ago. He. Joined the Marines
1T Philadelphia last July, and in re-
cent months has been stationed at
Quantieo, Va. Later he took a
course at the Sea-Going School at
Norfolk, Va, where selected Marines
are especially trained for sea duty.
At this school he learned the duties,
department and general routine re-
1uired of Marines on battleships
His transfer to the dreadnaught fol-
lowed.
The U. S. S. Delaware has recent
ly reported at the Southern Drill
Grounds, few miles away from the
Virginia Capes, but it is expected
the vessel will soon leave for the
West Indies. where it is customary
for most of the Atlantic Fleet to go
each winter for target practice.
Upon his return the Cecil County
Marine will doubtless have many in
teresting experiences to- recount OF
his life at sea.
