Chicago Produce Market
Chicago, April /


Fresh downturnS in tho price of grain
took effect today through general lack
of buying support. The wheat closing
was unsettled as the same as yester-
days finish to &c lower, May Lola and
July 1904, with corn i to 4c down, oats
a shade to &c off and provisions vary
ing from &c decline to rise of SC.
Notwithstanding that no decided sell
ing pressure developed in the wheat
market, exceptionally favorable, crop
reports from the southwest acted as
weight on values, and so, too, did mea-
greness of cash demand here for either
wheat or corn. Under such circum-
stances little attention was given to
adverse conditions said to be manifest
in numerous sections east of the Mis-
sissippi river. where the beginning of
harvest will be much later for the
southwest. What slight purchasing Of
wheat there was here today came
chiefly from the northwest and APP
late trade. On the other hand, some
foreign selling earlier was noted.
Corn prices were inclined to sag ow-
ing more or less to talk of larger re-
ceipts here when seeding OF oats is
complete. Besides sofiIeT Traders took
the position that the country was hold
ing back much corn which would be
forced to sale several months hence.
The bulk of the selling today was only
in small lots. and it was evidence that
at 76ac for May the market contained
Oats declined in sympathy with corn
and as result of suspicious weather
for seeding.
Slacllness in grain values as we'll ms
in the hog market tended TO make pro-
visions a trifle easier.

BELFAST
Find Ancient Strong Box

Lying on the rocks, half covered
by the sea or rusting in the sun,
looking for all the world as if it had
drifted in with the tide from some
pirate ship, is an old strong box
which has for the past year puzzled
all who have CHANGED to pass it.
What it is, or where it came from
or to whom it belonged and how it
happens to be lying on the shores
of Belfast Bay, are few of the
questions which it has aroused.
By persistent inquiry the finder
of the old safe learned that it was
dumped on the shore by the owner
of q cottage on the high bank above
This man. however, said that he
knew nothing of the history of the
old box, other than that it was in
a cottage bought of another man,
and not finding any use for it he had
dumped it on the shore below. A
search was then made for the man
who had left it in the cottage and
then at last the light began to show.
He said that it had been given to him
by the late Judge George E. johnson,
for many years Dean of the Waldo
County Bar Association, who died q
few years ago. He. it seems used it
in his office for many years, and
when he bought a modern safe, gave
it away.
The members of the Belfast Bust
ness and professional Women's club
are delighted with the choice of the
nominating committee, which has
named Miss Flora Weed of Bangor
as president for the State Fedora
ton, her election to take place at the
Convention which will be held in
Belfast in May.
