WHEAT AGAIN GOES
TO NEW LOW LEVEL
Bottom Prices Of Year Are
Reached When Buying
Takes Slump.

CHICAGO, Aug. lin the absence or
buying support wheat slipped down To-
day to prices below any heretofore
touched this season. The close was uu-
settled at l y to 1% net decline. with
September s1.o4ss to $1.o4%. and De-
cember $.047s to $1.05. Corn lost 1c.
TO &c. and oats M@1s to &c. In
provisions, the outcome varied from
2 lac. off to IL &c. gain.
Weakness in the wheat market was
most apparent during the last thirty
minutes of trading. but a downward ten
dency of values had been shown from tn.
start. The fact that Liverpool quota
tions failed 70 reflect yesterdays adj
vance here counted against the bulls, and
so likewise did slowness of export de-
mand.
Bids for wheat to be exported by way
of the Gulf of Mexico were so unattrac-
tive as to make 1t more profitable for
cago, circumstance which seeme.i
likely to cause a material increase os
the movement to this market.
Primary receipts Of wheat were again
in excess OF last year and arrivals from
the new spring crop were reported as
gradually becoming larger Moreover.
harvesting in the northern portion OF the
spring crop belt was said 10 be making
excellent progress. with yields generally
good. 1t was officially estimated that
the Canadian crop would be 200o0.0o0
bushels larger than last year. but on the
other hand. the estimate was 20,000,0Q0
bushels less than the trade had expected.
Corn and oats reflected the action OF
wheat. Dealings were almost entirely
local.
Provisions averaged higher with hogs
and as result of some export buying
of meats.

stock. ana the Grain Crop.

A bumper grain crop naturally is a
big argument for the purchase Of stocks
and those interests who have been bull
ish on the market have been utilizing
the opportunities offered since the pub
lication OF the big grain figures early
in the week to- register their reaction by
buying securities. The first group to
feel the effect, of course. was the grain
carrying railroads. whose earnings un-
doubtedly will be improved. But it was
not until day before yesterday. and then
not thoroughly. that other groups which
are likely to benefit directly from the
bumper crop were taken in hand. On
that day there was some buying Of the
stocks OF companies making agricul-
tural implements. Yesterday the move
expanded to the mail order stocks. a
big crop means plenty OF purchasing
power in the agricultural districts OF
the country. and inasmuch as the inn
plenlent makers and the mail order
houses depend on the rural districts for
vast majority Of their business. these
stocks have been In considerable
demand.

Unity stock. in Demand.

There was substantial buying move
ment under way all through yesterdays
session in the stocks of leading utility
companies with the exception. perhaps.
Of Consolidated Gas. Columbia Gas and
Electric was feature Of the group, ad-
vancing into new high ground above s6
Brooklyn Edison. Detroit Edison ana
several others in that department were
in strong demand and made substantial
gains. All these companies are report
ing Unexpectedly good earnings from
month to month and much of the buy
ing recently has been of an investment,
rather than a speculative character.

Outlook for Cotton.

The decline In cotton Of over 8 cents
a pound since the first OF the month
despite the bullish character OF the Gov
ernment crop report. has caused consid-
cradle surprise in the trade. The condi-
tion Of the crop. according to a recent re-
port was 70.s per cent. which was far
below trade expectations, while the crop
indicated was 11.449.oo0 bales When the
bales u added to these figures, however.
supply Of 16.4o0.000 bales Is Indicated
for the new season. Figuring consump-
ton on the same basis as last year.
about 1s,000.00o bales. the surplus at the
end Of this cotton year probably would
be something like 100000 bales.

Crops ana CAN Money Rates.

Demands for funds In the agricultural
sections Of the country have been partly
responsible for a fluncuation in cali
money rates. One reason for the calling
OF loans here by interior banks is
probably their desire to handle the iri-
tial harvesting demands from their own
reserves. Tho Federal Reserve statc-
ments this week. disclosing a further
shrinkage In the volume OF rodiscount
paper. showed that member banks are
not depending on the Federal Reserve
banks for crop moving credit.

In the Office of Circuit Court
Clerk VIM. H. Webb, Mrs. Lavine
e. Cunningham filed suit as execu-
trix of the estate of Col. John Cum
bingham, of Bourbon county, against
John C. Chenult and bondmen, of
Madison county, for $4,000 dam
ages, on a $4,000 bond, given by
them in the Bourbon Circuit Court
as assignee of John Cunningham
deceased.
In her petition Mrs. Cunningham
states that John G. Chenault con-
spired to defraud by pretending to
sell the 185 acres of land to Laura
E. Francis for 500 per acre, on q
false deed, and sold the farm in he1
name, when she never had a deed
in 1916. The plaintiff states that
this has caused her to suffer great
mental and physical anguish, hui
initiation and modification, all to
her great damage in the sum OF
eighty thousand dollars.

All loans made to the Burley To-
bacco Growers Cooperative Associa-
ton have been paid in full, accord
ing to the statement of President
and General Manager James C.
Stone.
Loans were made by bankers and
individuals of the Burley district
January 26, amounting to $1,000
600, and this was used in making
the first advancements to the grow
ers as they delivered their crops.
By March II all these loans had been
paid and in addition all the expenses
OF the organization work had been
taken care of.
Mr.. Stone stated that the finances
of the Association were in such con-

of the association holdings at good
prices, as to permit the meeting of
these obligations before their ma
turity, and as to put the association
In a very strong position.
That there is very great satisfac-

success attained by the association
and strong indication on the part
of the outsiders to now sign UP is

EASTER AROUSES
FEARS L NDUBLIN

DUBLIN, April 15-The long-fear-
ed Easter disturbances began here on
Good Friday when soldiers of the
rebel army seized and barricaded
Four Courts hotel, which was the first
buiiing captured in the famous Eas-
ter rebellion of 1916.
Gravest fears of widespread disor-
ders throughout Dublin during the
weekend were aroused by the first
violent outbreak.
Dublin residents in the vicinity of
the Fourt Courts hotel fled when the
invaders took possession. The SOL
diers, armed with revolvers, were
without uniforms for the mestp art
and appeared to be young country
linen. A British soldier and girl
were wounded in the shooting that
accompanied the outbreak.
Indiscriminate firing broke out IN
various parts of the city.

Sixteen diners listened in at the
Kiwanis ladies' night dinner at the
Windsor hotel last night on what they

officers, thought was speech by ra-
diophone, picked up from the ether
by wireless. They heard the an
nouncement plainly-that is, those
with the receivers to their ears-and
they heard an insurance executive
start business talk. Then the XII
wants program was resumed, inter-
rupting the radio experiment. Later
it developed that the wires and Curl
Gus coils were connected with phon-
ograph in another room in the hotel,
The apparatus being common tele-
phone set and the~ coils, borrowed
from Frank Sheffield, Jr., being cam
outage.
That was only one of a series of
stunts that provided good time for
the whole party. There were prizes
for the ladies, among them four live
white Easter rabbits; a song by Miss
Melva Clark, reading by Miss Susan
Stallings and a cornet solo by Car
roll Clark, accompanied by Miss Mel
va Clark. Mrs. Will Dudley accom-
panied Miss Clark in her number.
