PROVES LEADER
IN GRAIN TRADING
Strength Assists Materially in Bolstering All Grain
Demand and Closing Saturday Shows Frac-
tional Advance Covering Week

CHICAGO. May 1e.-Unsettled con
ditions featured trading during to.
days short session of the grain TX
change but closing prices were rae
tionally higher than a week ago with
July wheat s1.15& to $1.15% and
September s1,14. No important rally
occurred in corr and the close was
weak with July at 79Ac to T9%c.
During tho course of the weeks
trading the bulge in corn prices was
effective in lifting the value of wheat
and provisions also recorded con-
sistent gains.
The in~frequent spectacle OF corn
proving the leader in the grain mar
kets was preceded this week by a
decrease Of 1890. 900 bushels in the
United States visible suTDly Of corn
and by Indications hat the stock II
corn in Chicago would dwindle rapid
ly from this time on as n result Of
lake vessel shipments on a liberal
scale. Arrivals of corn here mean
while have been only n few carloads
n day, the smallest amount on rec
ord. high prices paid by rural feeders
being too tempting n int attrac-
ton. Toward the end of the week
forecasts of a warm wave helped to
ease the corn market somewhat.
inasmuch as cold rainy weather has
been largely responsible for fears re-
garding the new corn crop and for
increasing the demand from feeders.
Numerous unfavorabIe reports as
to the condition of winter wheat had
much to do with higher prices for
wheat. Assertions hat spring wheat

Guiding United States inc Crucibio
Steels Studebaker. Eelly,Sprlngfield
and American Wooden were among
these which sank to new prices for
the year. Declines ran from one to
five points with chemicals and fer
tHizers acutely weak. About the only
important stock which moved counter
to the general trend was California
Petroleum which advanced two
points. The closing was heavy.
Sales approximrNed $50. 900 shares.
During the week the main body of
stocks held around the bottom of
prices reached in the recent reaction
from high levels but the volume of
forced liquidation was small and good
buying support was Forthcoming
after intermitten slumps.
Curtailment of demand for steel
products n the spread of the move.
ment TO cancel or suspend building
projects, particularly in non-essential
lines, was a sentimental influence in
the selling of the steel shares.
United States Steel common broke
below 81 to a>new low for the year
and Bethlehem and Crucfble stI,ls
also hit new lows. The relaxing
tendency of metal prices here and in
London was the main factor in the
selling of the copper shares, which
were also affected by the uncertainty
regarding the market for domestic
silver when purchases under the
Pittman act are completed.
Most of the copper producers are
, 1923-05-20

silver producers as well. and any
marked reduction in h price of
silver undoubtedly will affect the net
return of those companies.
Chemical shares were weak because
OF unfavorable trade conditions and
farm implement issues yielded in
sympathy. Cuts in crude and gaso-
line prices arising from the huge
over-production in the California
fields had n slightly depressing in
fluence on the oil shares.
Railroad shares failed to make any
response to additional reports of rec
ord a loadings. New Haven was
particularly weak because of the huge
deficit for the first quarter. Cana
dian Pacific also lost ground on &C
cessation of foreign buying.
One of the most Interesting develop
of the week was the publication
of department of commerce statistics
showing hat March reports exceeded
March exports by more than $50 .00O,-
900. the first excess of imports since
1914 and the largest monthly excess
on record.
Time money was definitely placed
sums available for the shorter maturi-
ties and n few loans arranged at the
longer dates. An increasing bulk of
prime commercial paper at five per-
cent also was reported. Call money
ruled about Az percent throughout
the week.

Full Grown Leopard
Is Found Hiding Under
House in Burma Town

MANDALAY, Burma. Wide
spread excitement has been Gre
ated among Mandalay residents
by the discovery of a full-grown
leopard hiding under a house in
one of the most crowded quarters.
The beast ranged at large for a
short time, but was shot by an Of
flcer of the Irrawaddy 'Flotilla com
pany before doing any damage.
I How this leopard found it's way
into the city is not definitely known.
Some thought it came from the
neighborhooG of Amarapura, where
there is a large area of thick Jun.
gle. Another theory was that It
boarded one of the Irrawaddy fuel
steamers which tie up alongside the
bank at night, and was thus carried
to Mandalay.
1t had been more than ten years
since a leopard penetrated into Man
dalay, though one was killed only
eight miles from the city last sum
mer. Leopards are still common in
the. thick jungle which abounds in
every part of Burma, but usually
confine their operations to the cattle
Of villagers. In 1901 a leopard ap-
peared In BasSeln, in Lower Ber-
muda, and killed and wounded sew
eral people before it was shot.
Tigers, also, are still common in
some parts Of Burma. Less than a
year ago tiger was killed only fif-
teen miles from Rangoon, az city of
$4,000. It has not been many wears
since a tiger entered the city of
Rangoon and was found about a
third of the way up a pagoda. 1t had
climbed up in the night and was I'M
able to get down, and had to be shot
from the pagoda platform
Wild elephants are protected by
law and are still to be found. in some
sections of the country. One mem.
Der of a, large herd was killed re.
Gently only thirty miles from Ran.
COON. Domesticated elephants are
used extensively in the lumber
camps for moving heavy timber.

Gently large jungle cat was killed
in Rangoon, where it had chased a
domestic seat into the interior of q

CHICAGO, May 9.-The wheat market
made little progress in any direction to-
day. There was a rush to buy at the
opening because of the cold wave which
Overspread the spring wheat belt and part
of the winter wheat territory. On the
bulge some pressure developed carrying
prices lower but support developed on the
dip and prices recovered. The market still
appears to be a little oversold and buying
on the dips is developing because of this
fact. The government report was bearish
on the prospective yield and was a dis
tinct surprise as to the amount of spring
work done. The cold wave was unfavorable
but no material injury was sustained by
the crop, it is believed. Milling demand for
wheat was quiet, mills being amply sup
piled with wheat and flour some of the
local shippers claimed Export trade was
quiet, foreign buyers held off bids until the
opening of the market here wanting to see
what effect the crop would have on prices.
Sales of 5000 bushels of wheat were made
to so to store.
Wheat closed &c to &c higher on GOV,
ering by shorts and little broader COM
mission house demand; May, $l,1S4s; July,
$1.17Ts Oils; September, $1.16h.
Corn trade was almost entirely local.
The preponderance of sentiment was bull
lish but there was enough division to give
: he bulls argument on the bulges.
Strong cash position was the bull feature,
Kansas City reporting Texas buying corn
there and Omaha reporting sales of corn
to Illinois points. Domestic shipping de.
mand was fair. Export trade was slow.
Corn closed &c to Ac higher. May,
7S7sc: July, .79% @79Tsc; September, 1914
@791sc.
Oats followed the trend of other grains
Shipping demand was slow. Sales $4,000
bushels of oats were made to go to store
Oats were Il to &c higher. May, 43Mc;
July, 44Ac; September, 431sc.
Provisions were firm on buying credited
to foreign account.

last week passed the senate.
Representative Kennerly, in ref
erence to the alleged activities OF
Sentaor Scales, said the Taylor coun-
ty senator had called upon certain
citizens and made assertions thas
"both Mr.. Smith and 1 were drunk
on our visit to Clara, and that we

Newspaper Attack
Mr.. Kennerly also referred to an
article appearing in the Taylor Coun-
ty Herald, weekly publication at
Perry, Fla, which also intimates the
subcommittee statement and news
paper versions of the Clara trip were
misleading and untrue.
This newspaper, Mr.. Kennerly de-
clared, first, attacked the newspaper
man who accompanied the subcom
mittee, but on ascertaining that the
subcommittee has reported the re
ception far more stronger than as re-
ported by the correspondents, turn
ed its attention to an attack on the
subcommittee.
Perry is located a short distance
from Clara, and much of the Putnam
Lumber company's supplies are pur-
chased in the Taylor county capital,
Mr.. Kennerly also went into detail
in reference to the visit Of the Dixie
county delegation, He declared the
delegation informed him and Mr.
Smith that the sheriff was partly
responsible for the reception accord.
ed the subcommittee, and for his
action, together with the "fact that
we were informed he was owned
body and soul by the Putnam Lum
Der company" a thorough investiga-
ton was requested.
