MART'S F|CKLENESS
CAUSED BY WEATHER
SENDS GRAINS DOWN
Sudden Breaks in Wheat Are
Brought on by Canadian
Reports Of Rain

Chicago, April 14.-(F)-Fickleness
Of market dominated by weather
was illustrated by sudden breaks In
wheat prices late Tuesday on news Of
sprinkles Of rain In Canada. Falling
off In Transatlantic demand for wheat
was an additional beartsh factor.
There was comment. too. that price
setbacks were natural owing to about
4 cents a buShel advance In wheat
compared with last weeks bottom
level.
Wheat closed nervous, unchanged to
3-4c lower, May old SO 1-8. July 63
3-8. Corn unchanged to IA off. May
old 81 Ia to 5-8. July g. 1-8 to IA.
Oats at 1-8 decline to Ia advance,
and provisions unchanged to Sc down.
Although showers were predicted fos
the greater part not only Of spring
wheat but also winter wheat terri
tory. wheat price rallies were frequent.
Need Of widespread soaking down.
pours was emphasized by bulls, and
1t was asserted that official reports
showed dearth of subsoil moisture to
be general throughout the corn belt.
Relative strength Of the corn market
contributed further to wheat upturns,
which at times went fully a cent above
early bottom levels. Advances, how
ever, failed to hold well in the face
of indications Of a comparative pause
in North American export business.
Scantiness of future delivery offer
ings on price setbacks brought sup
port to the corn market, Primary
receipts of corn totaled only 1894, 1000
bushels. against 100000 a year ago.
Chicago had but So cars. compared
with 160 on the corresponding day
last year. Oats followed corn rather
than wheat.
Provisions were easy, responsive to
hog market declines.

LEWISTON, Idaho, June 19.-
Paddy is a 14-year-old dog, a
railroad section crews mascot,
with a penchant for saving trains.
Conductor Percy Hacket of the
Camas Prairie Line said Paddy
dashed around a curve to where
section hands were at work. His
barking and false starts toward
the track caught their attention.
They followed him. A huge
boulder had rolled on the track.
Had they not removed it, Con-

have been wrecked as 1t swung

OFFICER, SAVE
THEM SHOES!

Those PARK policemen who
have acted as alarm clocks for the
city's park sleepers are about to
have a new duty thrust upon
them. This is the protection Of
the shoes Of the sleepers.
Two Georgia boys, Jim Whit
sun and Robert Moore. arrived
here yesterday after q hot and
dusty walk. Their feet were sore,
and they selected benches in
Judiciary Park.
They slept in the park last
night. When they awoke their
feet were easier, but their shoes
had been purloined. No one can
look for a job without shoes, so
Whitsun and Moore walked bare
footed to the Volunteers Of Amer
lea, All Pennsylvania Ave" where
they got new footwear.
