GRAIN
BY GEORGE C. scHNAcKEL


Copyright, 1873
CHICAGO, Dec. IA tone OF firmncss
developed in the wheat trade early and pre-
vailed through the greater part Of the
session. The volume of business small
but there was n lack of selling pressure,
News was rather featurelesS: Liverpool
closed 1sd to sd higher and this together
with the relative steadiness in outside mar
kets were about the only sustaining fac
tors in the local pit. The best selling
here was by cash interests against pur-
chases in, the northwest. The export de-
mand for wheat was reported tame, al
though the sales late yesterday and over
night totaled $50, 900 bushels. France and
the United Kingdom today were credited
ued under last year, totaling 1,257,000
bushels, compared with 1,525, 900 bushels
last year. Offerings Of cash wheat here
were moderate and we'll taken at unchanged
premiums. Deliveries were $4,000 bushels.
Wheat closed &c to 14c lower; December,
$1.0413; May, $1.0S$4: July, $1.06M @1.065s.
Continued covering by shorts in We'd
with Slightly improved speculative demand
early and prices worked higher. Pressure
in this grain also lacking. Cash corn
was in good demand and sold &c to 1ac
higher OH prospects of unsettled weather for
the rest of the week over scattered sections
OF the belt led TO the belief that the pri-
mary run would be kept down. Local ex-
pOrtcrS say Argentine corn at southern
hemisphere ports is offered at 6Gla cents.
Figuring on the price of our May and cost
OF transpor tation to seaports, prices for
domestic corn would be about 20 cents
higher.
Corn closed &c lower to 1ac higher; De-
ccmber, 71A; May. 737Sc; July, 75c.
Oats were firm i'll tone. Commission
house buying of the late months offset the
scattered hedging sales in the December.
Trade on the whole was light and prices
followed the general swing. Cash oats
steady.
Oats were 1sc lower TO 1sc higher; De-
cember, 42kc; May 455Sc: July 49, a
1850.
Provisions dull but firm. Buying
of lard by eastern houses offset cash house
selling. Hogs at the yards were slow and
steady. The movement of hogs to western
markets showed sharp fa.IiLg off from
week ago
Lard closed sc to 121ac higher, and ribs
unchanged to &c lower.

ARREST PROMISED
IN JACKSON COUNTY
MURDER MYSTERY

JEFFERSON, Ca, Dec. Sex
citement, fed by the expectation of
an arrest, prevailed here early to-
day when the investigation into the
death of Mrs. Mag Simmons and her
seven-year-old daughter last Sat
urday night, shifted back to Jeffer-
son and vicinity. The bodies Of
Mrs. Simmons and her child were
found, burned beyond recognition, in
the remains of an abandoned farm
house, a half mile from Clarksboro,
in Jackson county, early Sunday.
The house had been empty for
nine months, and the flames from
the burning building, supposed by
authorities to have been set on fire
by the murderer, failed to attract
neighbors to the scene. A driving
rainstorm obliterated tracks of an
automobile, in which the victims
were believed to have been taken
to the house. No footprints were
found near the scene. The fire was
seen at midnight Saturday.
In answer to an alleged fictitious
note, Mrs. Simmons left Jefferson
last Saturday with her child to visit
a married daughter in Athens. She
was sadi to have arrived in Athens,
where man wearing an army over
coat and overalls met her at the
station with an automobile and took
mother and child for a ride.
Investigation in Athens by Sher-
if Ben Collier failed to establish
definitely the identity of the alleged
slayer, and he returned to jefferson
last night. where a man who is al
legged to have paid attentions to Mrs
Simmons prior to her death. was
under surveillance. Late last night.
following investigation here, Sheriff
Collier intimated an arrest might be
expected today.
MAN IN ARMY OVERCOAT
SOUGHT BY AUTHORITIES
ATHENS, Ga, Dec. 1S.-:A man
wearing an army overcoat and over
alls who met Mrs. Mag Simmons and
her seven-year-oId daughter at the
railway station here Saturday night,
is being sought by authorities in
connection with the investigation
being made into the circumstances
surrounding the disappearance Of
the woman and her daughter.
Reports of an alleged love affair
between Mrs. Simmons and man of
prominence in the community at
Jefferson, where Mrs. Simmons lived,
brought new angle into the case,
Sheriff Ben Collier. of Jackson coun-
ty, said. Sheriff Collier, following a
day spent in investigation here left
last night for Jefferson to gather ad
ditional information there.
Mrs. Simmons, according to Off
Gals Of the Jefferson Cotton Mill,
where she and her husband had been
employed for the past seven years,
had threatened to leav home in De-
cember, and drew money from the
bank at Jefferson last Thursday,
though the amount was small.
The man in the army overcoat,
Sheriff Collier said was reported to
have met Mrs. Simmons and her
child at the railroad station, and to
have taken them for a ride in an
automobile. Sheriff Collier said he
believed the woman and child were
taken to spot near the scene Of the
fire, killed, and the bodies burned in
an attempt to destroy the evidence
of the crime.
Mrs. simmons body was identified
by ring, a hairpin and an ear bob,
found with the body.

ing was reported here early, out
