CHICAGO, Monday, March "a
Wheat prices dragged lower today.
1t was simply lack Of buying pow
Ell that was responsible for the de-
cline, selling pressure being of little
consequence.
Commission houses bought in a
moderate way on the dip. Locals
were disposed to stand idle, us it
was too difficult to get in and out of
the market. The decrease of 1,O32,-
600 bushels in the visible supply had
little effect on the market. Weather
was favorable over most of the win
ter wheat belt and there was little
precipitation over North Dakota,
where it is needed. Export trade was
quiet owing to the decline In LlVel =
pool, as we'll as sterling exchange.
Liverpool reported the continental
demand slowing up. Milling demand
for wheat was quiet. Foreign statis-
tics were bearish, the increase of
over 100000 bushels in supplies on
passage attracting some comment.
Sales of AZ 900 bushels of wheat were
made TO go to store.
Liquidation and stop loss selling
caused a material break in wheat
prices in the last hour today and
May sold at the lowest price on the
crop. Closing prices were 2 3-S to
. SIS cents lower. May 1.02 rs,
July 104 3-S to Is. September 1.O5
3-S to IA.
In corn, there was a deficiency
of buying power also. Some Of the
big local traders replaced corn they
covered on Saturday and this pres
sure was sufficient to cause sub
stantial decline. The increase of l.
$4,000 bushels in the visible supply
was, larger than expected and this
tended to restrict buying power.
Shipping demand was light.
Corn broke with wheat and closed
1 3-S to / rs cents lower. May Il
- to SIS; July rs rs; September

Oats were easier under pressure
from cash houses early. Northwest
increases bought the deferred flu
lures on the dip and there was some
short covering. Visible supply de-
creased 1872 600 bushels. Cash de-
mand was slow. Provisions were
easier

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, March 24.-The
cotton market opened lower, first
trades showing losses from Satur-
days close of u to Il points. Liver
pool was lower than due, the wealth
err map was generally fair for the
entire cotton belt, and weekly dry
goods reports were generally UNI
favorable. The market continued to
decline steadily after the opening
call with fairly heavy trading until
May traded down to $3.50, July to
27.40 and October to 24.72 or A to
IS points down from the previous
close. The market then became
somewhat steadier at the decline,
but has rallied only few points.
The market continued to decline
during the entire morning under the
pressure of rather general selling
due to more favorable weather and
poor dry goods reports. New York
reported renewed selling by the
Palm Beach contingent and rather
liberal selling from all interests. The
announcement that the report of
the Hoover experts would not be is
sued today, deprived the market of
support from that direction. Fall
River reported there was talk of
mills cutting wages. May traded
down to 27.96 and July to 27,14 or
81 to SO points, under the close of
Saturday. October dropped to 24.50
or sixty-six points down. The market
was quieter, but little improved at
noon.

LUMBER MARKET
REPORTED FIRM
Steady CurtaiIment of Pro-
duCti0n Occurs.

The lumber market is consider
ably frmer than a week ago, says
the American Lumberman, Chicago.
The reason probably is not so much
increase in demand as steady cur
tailment Of production practiced in
all producing territories. but par
ticularly on the West Coast. Stocks
Of the principal softwoods are no
where heavy, and manufacturers say
that only a moderate further in
crease in demand would result in a
scarcity of some of the more popular
items. They believe that better bust
ness is approaching. and are disin-
clined, in view of the high manufac-
turing costs. to book orders on the
present low market.
The gain in bookings reported by
lumber manufacturers during the
first week Of June was not temper
airy, as later statistics show. The
gain was held during the second
week CT this month, when orders ac-
cepted by mills reporting to seven
manufacturers associations in all
parts of the country amounted to 80
per cent of the production for the
same week. Bookings of southern
pine and Douglas fir business totaled
"a per cent Of output Western
pines, however, did not register a
gain.

HOGS STEADY AND
Strong At $50
Price Range 1925 to $3.50
Few at $3.50.

Hog trading at the local livestock
market Saturday was strong and
steady with Fridays quotations, with
the exception of a scent higher top
Of $3.50. Other prices stood. Heavy
weights, 81 a507.45. Medium mixed
porkers were moving at $7.S0@7.35.
The bulk of sales we're made at $7,25.
Pigs were steady at 1915 down to
IS. Sows were a nickel higher at
S6.50@6.65 Tor smooth packers and
S6.3506.50 for roughs. Light hogs
were quoted at S7.25 and light
mixed at $6.75@7.25. Receipts 5000,
with 779 followers. For the week
hog trading has experienced severe
declines. Starting Monday at top
price of $3.50, a 20-cent drop from
the week before, prices went stead
fly downward until a record low for
the year was reached, $685.. The
primary reason given for the slump
was the flooded condition Of markets
over the country. On Thursday the
upturn started when a quarter adj
vance was made. From then on to
the end of the week advances were
made until Saturdays quotations
were level with those OF week ago
Receipts for the first part Of the
week have been above normal and
the latter half of the week about
normal.
With little more than 100 head OF
cattle offered, conditions were such,
that trading could hardly be
tested. However. prices appeared to
be about steady with the day before.
For the week, trade has been duh.
Until Wednesday buyers said the
market was completely demoralized.
Bids were scarce, receipts fairly
light Thursday marked an in
crease in activity and the market
came out of the slump with not more
than a quarter to a half loss. Choice
steers were quoted as low as $3.50.
but on Friday they had regained a
top of $40.
Calf prices huctuateG between a
top Of SO and 80. At one time they
were as low as 1878 with only few
bringing SO. Saturdays trade was
made at $3.50 with the bulk Of sales
at $3.50 to SO. With the exception Of
Thursday, buying interest held up
well. Receipts have been fairly nor
NAL. Receipts Saturday were 800.
Sheep and lambs held steady with
Fridays quotations. Lambs. S12
and sheep $3.50. The week has wit
messed only a half dollar loss in
lamb prices. Sheep have fluctuated
from 81 to $3.50. Buying interest has
held up with receipts fully nor nal.

Twelfth ward. close friend of Armi-
tage, is said to have been the root
of the difference between Armitage
and /Mullin. Dillon is at the Indiana
State Farm serving a sentence
growing out of a gambling raid upon
his place two years ago.
The only explanation the board of
President e. L. Kingston that it was
for the good of the service"
Shank Denies DictatiOn
Mayor Shank said that he had not
directed the reduction OF Mullin. but
had merely ordered the board to in
vestigate the handling of the rob
berry
1t was said, however, that the
board late Friday interviewed city
prison turkeys about issuance Of a
permit by Mullin to Joseph Roach,
attorney, to see Thomas Thompson.
81, of Decatur, H., alleged by police
to have been one Of the Ayres rob
bers. Thompson was captured when
he jumped from an automobile in the
rear Of the store as police arrived
Roach was one of the attorneys
active in the city council probe of
the city administration.
Soon after Roach saw Thompson
rumors were current that Thomp-
sons bond was to be reduced from
$1,000 co $4,000, but Police Chief
Herman f. Rikhoff had it increased
to $4,000.
Mullin said that under the law he
could MOI refuse a permit for an at.
torney to see a prisoner and Roach
said: THE Supreme Court has held
it constitutional that a prisoner may
see his counsel at any reasonable
hour.
AS soon as the boards action be-
came known around city hall the al
most universal comment Of officials
and employees was: well Bill Gar
mitage) got him.
The board also promoted Detective
Sergeant Herman Radamacher to
lieutenant.

that the Democratic party stood on
the brink Of perhaps the most fate
full decision in it's history.
The anti-Klan storm has reached
such proportions the time for voting
on presidential nominations is I'M
certain and can scarcely be expected
before Monday, if then.
AS a matter Of fact the subject of
candidates is completely submerged
in the deluge Of Khan discussion. In
the hotel corridors and dining rooms,
in private conferences and on the
floor Of the convention, all CONVEX
sation was directed at the Khan.
Only one thing is certain and that
is that the convention VIII go into
another week and possibly through
it. The McAdoo forces, thoroughly
aroused by the belief that the whole
Khan issue has been cast up to kill
his chances. are ready to stick by
their guns to the bitter end. There
Is more logged persistence in the
McAdoo camp today than there has
been at any time since the conven-
tion began.
The Khan issue also has served to
line up behind McAdoo many dele
gates who for local reasons do not
wish to have the Khan specifically
involved in their campaigns.
Adding to the improvement in Nc
Adoo's position. the railroad labor
unions are becoming increasingly
active in his behalf and now have
men on the job here working among
the delegates.
During the night a statement
signed by forty officials OF railway
labor unions was issued declaring
that organized labor was overwhelm-
ingly for him. Samuel Gompers,
president Of the American Fedora
uon Of Labor. however. when shown
the statement. declared mo one has
the right to speak for the American
Federation of Labor"
When $50 arrived-the hour the
convention was to re-assemble-only
a score Of delegates were in their
seats and the spectators sections and
platform were virtually deserted.
Each delegate found on his or her
chair today a circular booming Maj.
George L. Berry for Vice President.

Motor Policeman Willis Thompson
explained that the reason he did not

cause there were hundreds Of Grotto

there was no way Of knowing wheth-
