Widespread relief from drought sent
all grain values downward today.
Wheat led the decline, in which corn
established a new low record price for
the season. Closing quotations on
wheat were unsettled, to 1sc net
lower, May (new) 1.5Ss to 1.5Sg and
July 1881 to 1880. with corn to ICE
down, oats s@g to &c off, and provis-
ions at two cents to 35 cents advance.
Moisture was heavy in the south

sort in the northwest, virtually skip

crop conditions expected to result from
the rains caused general selling of
wheat. and although on the price set

rally much. Southwest houses did
most of the selling and it was pointed
out that the rain reports from that
section mentioned various places from
which yesterday the worst complaints
of drought were received. The east

previous sellers who were in position
to collect a profit.
According to southwestern reports
the new 1925 wheat harvest will start
by the end of this month. and the rains
have practically assured thg hard win

Farmer Builds Home
in Indian Graveyard

Nashville, Tenn.-Jo Jonathan Dennis,
farmer, who lives five miles from the
center Of Nashville, has discovered
that he built his home in the midst
Of an Indian graveyard. with human
skeletons surrounding his house.
While digging in his front lawn to
plant some flowers, Dennis penetrated
an Indian grave. The burial site COW
ers about two acres and is an Indian
mound. John Trotwood Moore, state
librarian and a-chivist, who ipvesti-
gated the find. will seek the aid Of the
Smithsonian Institution In mapping
the mound for further discoveries.
Several Of the graves were investi-
gated. One of the skeletons meas
ured six feet, nine and half inches.
In the same grave was another skele-
ton, supposed to be the wife Of the
warrior, and between the two, the
bones Of child.
