MERGED, Cal, March %
Nuisance, a white cat, mascot
of a local bakery, went through
fire, water and starvation, all
within a week, but lived today
to purr about it.
The bakery was burned to
the ground a week ago. and a
search of the ruins failed to
reveal the cat, which was given
I'D for dead. So much water
was played on the embers that
the ruins almost fioated.
A curious pasSerby inveSti-.
gated a charred cubby-hole to-
day, and there was Nuisance.
her white hair scored and
blackened, but otherwise un-
injured.

Selling Is Expected

News that the farm board would
abandon sterilization work with the
delivery of the 1880 crop was not
unexpected by the trade. 1t caused
less comment as many traders be-
lieved the scheme was doomed to
failure from the start, as similar
experiments by other countries al
ready had failed.
New crop futures which are not
to be stabilized already have dis
counted the situation and are sell
ing around Csc under March and
May. Suppressed excitement was
felt at the opening with the trade
looking for further selling owing to
the large supplies in the United
States.
Neither Liverpool nor Buenos
Aires was depressed by the action.
Liverpool opened as expected and
was down only q cent at mid
afternoon. BuenoS Aires was off z
cent early.
Corn Weather Bearish
Corn is operating between two in
fluences-the action of wheat and
the belief in some quarters that re-
ceipts from the country will have
another increase before the farmer
gets about his field work. The cash
market showed no weakness from
this feeling. Weather was generally
favorable over the entire grain belt.
Oats have been showing consider
able resistance to pressure and
prices are expected to be flrn1er un-
less the other grains weaken de-
cidedlV.

Popular Police Lieutenant Returns for Treatment at Waterbury Hospital After Spending Three Months in New York Institution Brother Officers With Him on Trip Home .

Lieutenant Chris Harmon, a mem- bsr of the local detective, bureau, who has been carrying on a long fight for health, is returning to Wa terbury to-day to convalesce. He will be taken to the Waterbury hos pitaI, where he will remain under the supervision of Dr Edward H. Kirschbaum.
 The incidents attending the return of Lieutenant Harmon are interest," ing in part to many of the details of the gallant battle he has made. It was no ordinary homecoming of a private patient. The popular officer was not only accompanied by three members of the Waterbury police department and a private nurse, but in New York city through the con- gested streets of traffic and into the outskirts of the big city a motorcycle escort accompanied the Waterbury ambulance, Arthur F. Lunny's, which was sent to bring Lieutenant Har- mon home. It was a fine gesture of friendship of the New York police department for brother in the ser- vice. Superintendent Joseph H. Me- Lean of the local police department will officially acknowledge the honor given Lieutenant Harmon. Captain Frank Cutting, Lieutenant William Pollard and Patrolman Joseph Lo- vallo formed the local escort. The action of the New York police au-
