FOLETSTIONELTAR, Advertise in the Daily Pioneér It ’s & good investment, CONTINUES T0 DECLINE - PRICE OF i\‘IAY WHEAT ON CHI- CAGO BOARD OF TRADE OFF 'SEVEN CENTS MORE.- BELIEVED BOTTOM HAS BEEN REAGHED FINAL HOUR OF TRADING SHOWS IMPROVEMENT IN DEMAND FOR THAT OPTION. Chicago, April 25.—A double back somersault ‘was performed by May wheat during the day. Instead of set- tling into a reminiscence the option promptly started with a repetition of last week’s sensational acrobation. Some of the first trades showed a fall of 4 cents a bushel, the prices open- ing at 96 to 98 cents, as against $1, the previous close. After the initial plunge the price for May showed a tendency to rally, reacting temporarily to 973% cents. 1f| the selling was from representatives of John W. Gates it was well dis- guised, the market presenting the ap- pearance of a general bearish attack rather than an attempt at further liquidation of holdings acquired dur- ing an attempted corner. P. A. Valen- tine of Armour & Co. was generally credited with buying considerable May wheat while the quotations were between 96 and 98 cents. To this was attributed the recovery to 97% cents. Fresh selling, however, from outside sources soon pounded the mar- ket down worse than before. Tt was not long before the current figures for May were 93%, a net loss of 6% cents a bushel. At 9312 the market showed a Fall of Nearly Thirty Cents from the point at which the Gates party were supposed to be in full con- trol of the deal some weeks ago. Before midday another cent was clipped from the price of May wheat, sales being made at 92% cents a bushel. On the slump Armour & Co. were reported to have bought in as much as 1,000,000 bushels of the May option. During the last -hour of trading de- mand was of an improved character. The theory that the price of May wheat had reached about the lowest point consistent with what are called legitimate conditions formed the bhasis of much of the late demand. A fea- ture was active demand for the July option from a house which is credited with having recently been trading for Gates. Prices, however, made little response to the improved demand, the rally in May being confined to less than a cent. The market closed steady, with May off precisely 7 cents, at 93. Distant deliveries were affect- ed by the slump in May, the closing price on July being down 2 cents, at 843, STUDENT'S LIFE OF NO VALUE. Unique De¢cision in Damage Suit in lilinois Court. Bloomington, 11, April 25 — A unique point in a damage suit has been brought out by a decision of Judge Wright in the Champaign coun- ty court. Last fall a railroad dining car was derailed and Ralph O. Rob- erts, a student of the University of Illinois, was killed. He was a promni- inent athlete and the case attracted considerable attention, his adminis- trator briuging suit for §10,000. The defendant’s attorney moved that the suit be dismissed on the piea that the plaintiff had not introduced evi- dence lo show that any person was depending upon Roberts for support and that, being a colleze man, he really was an expense to his parents during that period of life. The judge decides that the point is well taken and has dismissed the case. An ap- peal will be taken. DECLINES TEN POINTS. Northern Securities Continues Down- ward Plunge.
