Although Whittemore has de-

ROCKVILLE. Nd, April !. The
criminal term Of the Circuit Court
for this county, which virtually
completed its work yesterday. was
remarkable because Of the twelve
jury trials held six resulted IN hung
juries.. IN each Of two cases. one
juror held out for conviction. but
in the other four cases the jurea.s
were more evenly divided. In none
Of the cases was the offense charged
OF very serious nature All six
cases win be docketed for trial
again at the November term Of

for the county in the number Of

issues, with Hudson, studebaker and

issues, with Hudson, Studebaker and
Chrysler all easing off.
The cratic character of trading
was reflected in the temporary recov-
cries of four to eight points from
the days lows which took place I'M
der the impetus of short covering
in Coca Cola, Woolworth, Case
Threshing Machine, and Commercial
Solvents B. The subsequent relapse
carried all with the exception of
Woolworth under last weeks clos
ing.
Railroad shares withstood the
selling movement relatively better
than other stocks, but closed irreg-
ularly lower. The Van Sweringen
issues were heavy for a time, Chesa-
peake and Ohio taking part in the
downward movement along with
Delaware and Hudson, Louisville
and Nashville. Lackawanna and
Atchison.
The commodity markets display
ed better tone. Cotton rallied 81
to 81 points. as buying was infiu-
enced by the plans of the special
Coolidge committee to aid the mar
keting Of the crop.
A brisk rally Of about IL points in
ltallan lire to the highest price of the
year around Alp cents was attributed
in some quarters to the trapping of
a short interest in the exchange and
in others to financial reforms insti-
tuted in Italy. Trading in other for
eign exchanges was quiet.
Bond prices drifted irregularly
lower in colorless trading. Firm
money rates, the continued unsettle-
ment of the stock market and the
approach of a holiday were blamed
for the curtailment of activity and
the absence of buying support.
Only in the foreign lists was there
any semblance of purchasing power
and this lacked the vigor which char
acterized last weeks operations.
The most important development
of the day was the announcement
that a 100000 bond issue for the
Republic of Chile, out of an author
lied s65,000,0O0 loan, had been
awarded to a New York banking
syndicate headed by Hallgarten and
Company, and Kissel, Kinnecutt and
Company, who sold $30,000,000
Uruguayan loan last spring. The

dications pointed to a decided falling
off of winter wheat seeding in Illinois.
Further talk of shortage of ocean YES
sells available for grain carrying was
heard, but the amount of wheat on
ocean passage was reported as larger
back.
Corn and oats developed more
strength than for some time. 1t was
generally anticipated that the govern
ment report as to corn would prove
bullish. Oats were affected by adj
vices of heavy losses since harvest.
Provisions rallied owing to sympa-
thy with cotton and cotton oil but SELL
ing pressure increased and the advance
failed to hold.
