After touching lowest prices yet this
season the wheat market took a new
upward swing today, helped by big eX-
port sales, chiefly Canadian. Closing
quotations on wheat were firm, / to !
net higher. with corn lie TO &c up,
oats unchanged to, &c advance, and pro-
visions unchanged to 25c down.
1t was the second day in succession
that European buying of wheat from
North America was estimated at as
high as 100000 bushels. Wet wealth

large purchasing for Europe. had /;
strength which the market displayed.
Besides, leading traders who have
been on the selling side failed to press
the market at the new low prices, and,
on the contrary. evinced a decided dis
position to collect profits.
1nasmuch as at least % per cent. of
the Canadian wheat crop is apparently
still uncut, continued rains are an ad-
verse factor, although the crop esti-
mates current have been raised to a
material extent. Meanwhile unfavor-
able crop conditions in Europe are
also attracting notice. One report to-
day said practically the whole of CEN
trail Europe has suffered fran disad-
vantageouS weather and that the yield
in France Is now estimated at only
100000 bushels compared with $685.
100000 bushels last year.
Corn was independently strong as a
result of too much moisture through
out the corn belt. Moreover. additional
rains were predicted for tonight and
tomorrow. Oats were relatively unaf-
fected. reports at hand indicating that
oats are for the most part under

in the elections, officials emphas sized
briefly but pointedly in behalf OF Mr..
Coolidge the satisfaction he feels in
the present general business, indus
trial and economic state of the coun-

Recalling today the array 'of men
who have called upon the president at

pointed to automobile manufacturers,

conditions and said all bore witness
to the same effect, that the country
was prosperous.
One such visitor came to the execu-
Howard Elliott, chairman Of the
Northern Pacific Railroad. who is
spending few days with friends near
here, called to pay his respects to the
president.
Having just completed 9oo0-mile
trip from coast to coast Mr.. Elliott
said he was much encouraged by the
whole situation as he had seen it.
Except for one or two states, like
North Dakota and Nebraska, where
droughts have interfered with crops

country over.
Mr.. Elliott in talking with the coSs
respondents reiterated the views on
railroad consolidation that he express

Washington last winter.
Opposing forced action, he declared

along natural economic lines were de-

teal purposes, result In the social
lzation Of the State, he said.
President Coolidge has according
ly set his hand against any ad-
d1tional governmental encroachment
on the domain of private affairs but
repeatedly and insistently during
this past year he has pointed out
that any further financial retrench-
ment must be upon the part OF the
several States.
The State Of Maine was FORUM
ate in having the assistance Of one
Of it's own citizens in instituting
these reforms as the President very
kindly consented for the Director Of
the Budget, to whom the Presi-
dent gives chief credit for the re-
markable retrenchment that has
been achieved, to come to Maine to
tell the last Legislature Of the path
the Federal Government had blazed.
Brigadier General Herbert N. Lord.
born and bred in Maine and still
claiming allegiance in his home
county Of Knox, told the simple and
yet amazing story before the Legis-
lature a year ago and also before the
Conference Of Governors at Poland
Spring.
The several departments and in
stitutions Of the State following the
Federal example voluntarily In
stituted q reserve Of 1000 with q d.
vision Of the balances Of their ap-
preparation into four equal parts
that were available for expenditures
as needed in each quarter Of the
fiscal year.
A million dollar surplus in the
treasury Is the result with its
promise Of tax-reduction which
seems to the present administration
the most practical form Of farm re-
lief. Tax-reduction will relieve also
the burden upon the homes and the
industries and the commerce Of the
State OF Maine, without falling
adequately to provide for all the &C
tivities of the State.
This is of Importance not only for
the money which Is saved but also
for the principle that is involved in
restoring to- the citizens a greater
measure of Independence in expend-
ing the money they have earned.
From a material standpoint it is
believed this Is one of the most
substantial contributions which can
be made to our economic progress at
this time both in its benefits to our
own citizens and also in attracting
favorable consideration of our op-
portunities by the citizens of other
States who are interested In the

Sheriff John M. Eastman and his
deputies, and 1t lis understood that a
number OF witnesses will be sum-

is arraigned as soon as II is certain
as to whether the charge will be
manslaughter or assault with a dan

will be contingent upon the reports
