SATURDAY, MARCH 21, 1925. MARKET NEWS Wire Markets By Associated Press WHEAT MAKES SLIGHT GAIN Shows Early Upward Trend on Chicago Market Chicago, March 21.—Wheat showed an early trend upward here today despite relative weakness at Liver- pool and Winnipeg. Buyers here gave sharp attention to official fig- ures indicating that Canada thas only 36,000,000 bushels left for ex-| port, the remainder of. the, season compared with 135,000,000 “actually jchipped during the — corresponding period last year. Notice was also taken of reports that in some sec- tions of Texas the wheat crop pros- pects are the worst in many years| Opening prices which ranged from % to 1% cents higher with May $1.58 to $1.59 and July $1.68 to $1.69 and July $1.46 to $1.46%% were fol- lowed by ‘something of a setback and | then by gains all around, May rising to $1,714. Subsequently the market under- went a sharp reaction as a result of selling to realize profits. The close was irregular ranging»from 3-4 net decline to 1 cent advance, May $1.68 1-4 to $1.68 3-4 and July $1.44 3-4 to $1.45, ° ST. PAUL LIVESTOCK So, St. Baul, March 21.—(By the A. P.)—A general reversal in price schedules developtd for all classes of livestock during the past week, says the Weekly Review of the U. S. Department of Agriculture.

Hogs af- vter reaching new high levels early in the week closed with all of the early advance lost. Fat lamb prices continued to skid. Failure of the dressed market to accommodate the continued recent advances in cattle and hogs was held accountable for sduch of the past week’s decline.

HENRY LAYER, URDERER OF EIGHT, DIES (Continued from page one) dragged Wolf's body into the cow- shed and covered it with hay. He then went to the kitchen, opened |the trap door leading into the cellar \and dumped the five bodies into the basement. The crime was not discovered: un- {til two days after the murders, when ‘John Kraft, a neighbor, called at the Wolf farm and found the mem- ‘bers of the family dead. The only member of the Wolf family that escaped the murderer's fury was the youngest girl just ipassed her ,first birthday. Mr. Kraft found the little tot in her feradle, She was almost famished jand in a weakened condition. The |little girl is living’ with her aunt, ja sister of her mother, near Turtle Lake. The murderer acknowledged in his confession that he only reason he idid not kill the baby was because ‘he did not know she was in the bed room, where she. was sleeping during the time the horrible crime was committed. Layer was sentenced to imprison- ment at hard labor for life and ar- arrested. Layer was a model prison- er, prison authorities said toda acted as head man in the laundry. Layer’s mother and brother were called here by his illness and visited him in the prison hospital last night. Layer was 40 years of age and was a native of Russia. He was di- vorced from his first wife but his second wife and several children survive. No funeral arrangements have been made, but it is expected his Imother will take charge of the body. An autopsy will be held late this afternoon. GRAFTON PAPER ~ MAY BE MADE PARTY ORGAN Grafton, N.

The plan, it is said, is meeting with considerable encouragement.

With Bishop H. Lester Smith pre- siding, the /conference opened on March 18 with an evening session in which the twenty pastors and thirty lay delegates were welcomed, and addressed by Dr. J. B. Crippen, the only District Superintendent iwhich the Methodist Church has in Georgia, on social, religious and ed- on at Man- evening, ad- ng a compre- of the work being rict churches both in the foreign ucational conditions among the Southern whites. Thursday morning's was devoted to the organization and ap- pointment of committees and to five minute talks by the pastors. At the afternoon five of the visiting pastors addressed the conference on their special fields of interest. The Rev. Victor Phillips of Linton gave a statement of condi- tions among the foreign speaking people in Emmons County where he is located, of the need of religious work among them, and how the churches are trying to meet that need, Speaking on the subject of “In- creasing the Number and Use of Lo- cal Preachers,” the Rev. J. D. Ca thorne of Marmarth pointed out the widespread use in England of th ymen preachers who travel in ci cuits through the smaller communi- ties, and urged their adoption in America, pa ularly in rural see- tions where established churches are scattered. Mrs. O. L. Anthony of Bea has developed probably the best Sun- day School in the district, next spoke of her personal experiences: in her work, after which the Rev Smart, Chippewa Indian chie cussed the religion of the Ame: Indian, his customs, jand ceremonies. ‘The AN tS Lane of Mott delivered the closing address of the afternoon on “An | Evangelistic Church,” emphasizing the necessity for welcoming all classes, and of drawing no social lines, if the church is to be power- ‘ful and an evangelistic force. After dinner served at the church by the Ladies Aid Society and a song service led by a preachers’ sex- tet, the Rev. Ernest E. Tuck, mission- ary home on furlough from North India, spoke on factors »hampering India’s progress, system, the appalling illiteracy, and the social customs, He also com- mended the mystic spirit, if not the principles, of the Hindu leader, Ghandi, who, he declared exercised tremendous influence over the peo- ple. Bishop Paul Jones also spoke {on “Reducing the Spiritual Death | Rate,” the subject of a previous ad- dress at Bismarck. Friday morning’s session was de- voted to a discussion of the subject, “Giving Definite Shape and Form to OF METHODISM) h, who | “THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE ALL BUSINESS FIRMS SHOULD BE GIVEN FAIR PROPORTION OF PURCHASES MADE BY CITY (Continued from page one) purchases made for the city and for the water works depart- ment disclose that the suggested policy is not pursued at present. Where there are city commissioners in a partic- ular line of business, they are awarded the bulk of the city’s orders for goods. However, where the special line of busi- ness is not represented on the board, there is a fairly good scattering of the orders. This only serves to prove our con- tention for better business policies and fairer treatment of other businessmen. The investigation covered an examination of the city and water department vouchers for a short period but it is of jsufficient Jength to enforce our contentions.

Should the orders pass through a central purchasing agency, he could easily allocate these small purchases equitably. Again the installation of a card system showing the kinds of pur- chases, the prices paid and quantity also, and from whom purchases are made would prove helpful not only in the dis- tribution but glso, as a price and quantity gauge. The pres- ent methods are too haphazard and unbusinesslike.
