ee ee id SATURDAY, MARCH 19, 1927 —_——. DOUBLE DEATH ATDRAYTONIS BEING PROBED Mrs. Hans Rasmussen Found Dead in Home—Husband Found Dead in Atuo Drayton, N. D., March 19— (AP)—What is believed to have been a murder and a suicide oc- curred at the farm home of Mr. ard Mrs, Hans Rasmussen, several miles south of here in Walsh coun- ty, late Friday night and this morning. Mrs. Rasmussen was found shot to death on the floor of the kitchen and the body of Hans Rasmussen was found in his car, which had stalled on the Drayton road about half a mile from the home. The theory is that Rasmussen killed his wife late Friday after- noon or early Friday evening and that he remained in the house with their one and one-half year old child until early this morning, when he drove a short distance in his car and shot himself. The coroner, sheriff and state’s attorney of Walsh county are at the Rasmussen farm this after- noon, investigating the circum- stances of the double death. FINANCIAL REVIEW, New York, March 19—UP)—Estab- lishment of record high prices by about a score of the high priced rails and industrials popularly re- ferred to as the “blue chip issues” attracted the most attention in this week’s stock market. Various rea- sons were assigned by stock market commentators for the advance in these issues with expectations of special dividend developments as the most povlar. However, the erratic price movement in the rest of the market encouraged belief that strength of U. S, Steel common, Gen- eral Motors, Dupont and several others which reached new high ground was being used as a cloak to hide distribution elsewhere. Uperators for the rise were favored by a series of bullish developments including further expansion of steel mill operations which brought activi- ties of the United States Steel cor- poration close to 100 per cent of capacity. There were also a few favorable dividend announcements, including raising of the annual divi- dend on Freeport-Texas to $4, and the inauguration of payments on R. H. Machinery common. On the adverse side were the further increase in brokers’ loans, the halving of the Continental Bak- ing “A” dividend and another series of crude oil and gasoline price cuts, coincident with further increase in crude production. While fear of further price cuts still hangs over the market for au- tomobile shares, General Mdtors was heavily bought on the announcement that February sales had exceeded 102,000 cars as against about 81,000 tin January and 64,000 in February, 19: 26. Wall street hears reports that’ Henry Ford is planning the an- nouncement of a new car early in April. With the public already heavily loaded with oil stocks, these issues proved unusually susceptible to adverse trade developments. Sugar shares softened in sympathy with lower commodity prices. Re- tail coal shares were hard hit by selling inspired by the falling off in sales due to unusually warm spring weather in northeastern states, With the dull season in the theatre busi- ness approaching, amusement shares were in rather free supply. Exten- sion of Florida bank troubles was blamed, in part, for weakness of the southern dairies issues, with expira- tions of a pool as another adverse factor. Railroad shares displayed relative- ly firm undertone, with Southern Pacific, Lackawanna, Delaware and Hudson, Norfolk and Western and a few others selling at their high- est prices in years. ceo Chicago, March 19.—@)—The but- ter markets during the week were weak and nervous with several rather sharp price recessions. The weck opened with all markets in a weak and unsettled position. Buyers op: erated with excessive caution, limit- ing their purchases to bare necess: s which cai the daily arrival ccumulat eivers offered butter freely at concessions but confidence was en- tirely lacking. Stocks continued to accumulate and prices declined al- most daily. _ The situation was attributed large: ly to foreign butter both actual ar- rivals and offerings as an immediate to purely sentimental a contributing factor. The sharp break at New York on March 13 followed the lower foreign offerings of finest new Zealand but- ter at 36-37% As the domestic prices declined, asking pri eign butter were reduced close of the week finest .New Zeala: was offered at 33% cents for prompt shipment, from London. ‘he. larger portion of the slight accum! ion on dealers’ floors was on the the medium and lower scores Eig in comparatively light supply. The out of storage: movement during the early s of the week was slightly over a half million pavees as compared with about a million pounds for the corre- spending period in the preceding wee!

B. Happel, Pastor, Sweet and Sixteenth street. Service every Sunday at 10:30 a. m..in English and German, estimates released through the of- fice of Paul C, Newman, statistician. Present, information indicates a sup- ply of. hogs for market during 19: no larger, and perhaps smaller, than in 1926.’ Domestic demand is ex- pected to continue strong but no im provement in foreign demand is an- ticipated. Hog prices will likely be maintained during 1927 near the 1926 level. The 1926 pig crop in the corn belt according to the pig surveys was not more than one per cent larger than in 1925, Cholera losses during 1926 were comparatively heavy especially in the spring crop and are estimated to have reduced the number of hogs available for market during the 1926-27 season three per cent. Market supplies during next sum- mer and early fall, however, will probably be about as large as in 1926. The December, 1926, pig sur- vey indicated very little, if any, prob- able increase in number of sows far- rowing this spring in the corn belt which is the principal source of com- mereial production, It is not. likel, that cholera losses next fall will equal those of last fall, With a 1927 spring pig crop about the same as in 1926 in the corn belt, the market supplies for the winter of 1927-28 will probably be somewhat larger than this winter. Present supplies of corn are more than ample for hog feeding. This is need by present corn and hog pri Conditions warrant decreas- ing corn acreage to bring about a better relationship between hog and corn prices rather than raising more | hogs. Consuming demand during 1927 is expected to be above average tho slightly below that of 1926. In view of the prospective decrease in beef supplies and other conditions, no reduction in demand for pork suffi- cient to affect ho; prices materially during 1927 is anticipated. Foreign demand for pork products during 1927 will probably ‘be no stronger than in 1926. Hog slaugh. terings in foreign countries were ap- parently slightly larger in 1926 tha in 1925, but. mid-year reports from four important countries sh er cent increase in indicating that a genet numbers ig under way. So that, not- withstanding improving — industrial conditions in those European coun- tries which.are the chief buyers of American pork products, the increas- ing hog production in Eur and the cqntinuation of hog prices at resent levels in the United States indichte that our pork.experts dur- ing 1927 are not Wei to be any greater than during 1926. , MAY BAR GUN-TOTING Helena, Mont.—Not so many years ago a holster, belt and gun were the most important articles of. apparel this state.
