GRAINS REFLECT
LOWER MARKETS
Corn Shows Better Strength
Than Wheat,
BIZ Tnifed Financial

BIZ United Financial
CHICAGO, April 9.-Grains started
with a weak undertone on the board of
trade here today.
Slow general demand and lower
markets everywhere reflected in local
trading. Weather conditions were
trifie irregular, but. had little bearing
on sentiment. Liverpool started lower
due to slow demand and liberal offer
ings below American values. Heavy
charter OF freight room was effected
over night is believed to represent
business consummated in the last ten
days for deferred shipment. Export
business over night totaled 300, 900.
Corn started unchanged. but showed
better strength than wheat. Rains over
parts of the belt, it is believed, will
slow up the movement. Liverpool
reported a slow demand and liberal
offerings at concessions.
Oats was steady on account OF I'M
settled weather and light receipts.
Seeding is progressing favorably. Pro
visions were steady.

for the Governor like scsdawags and

Because these men had the te-
merity to come into court and tell the

ments and port stocks are now more than
double those of a month ago. Broomhall re-
ports
Extremely light speculative interest indi-
Gates the market is fairly well evened up as
far large lines are concerned.
The 1000. 600. 900 bushels of corn which
has disappeared up to March L has not all
been consumed. a leading operator says.
Much of il lies in warehouses of feed manu-
facturers who now hold the largest stocks
of mill and glute feed ever known.
Considerable hquidating is expected be-
fore the end of this month. Failure of for
eign markets to follow domestic advances,
and the fact that we are still out OF line for
exports makes bulge sales advisable leading
observers opine.
It is surprising that grain prices have held
relatively firm in view of fears of Govern
ment interference. II is stated by those who
believe that if trepidations of adverse legis
lation were not prevalent trading would inn
prove.
The trading is Mt looking for rapid i'm
provement in corn offering for several
weeks but expect that farmers will sell corn
holding after oats seeding is over and prep
arations are made for planting of the spring
corn crop.

Sox purchased Outf1elder Archdeacon.
A speed king and a good fielder, the
Chicago Club. in need Of outfielders,

ting ability.
Upon joining the White sox, Arch

question for the Jury to decide is con-
sidered as this:
Was the $155 .00J OF the funds of the
board of agriculture turned over to
the Governor in June and July, 1928,
by Brown intended as a personal loan
to him or for deposit in the Discount
and Deposit State Bank of--Kentland,
of which McCray was president at the
time?
George N. Montgomery, Indianapo-
lis real estate man, and closely asso-
ciated with the affairs of the board,
was the final witness for the defense.
He bore out testimony of members
of the board and fatty contradicted
