McDonald vs. Henry Metz, et al, the others numbering about 60. The pleadings trans- ferred from the district court of Nio- brara county to the district court of Laramie county set forth an interest- ing story imvolving thrilling details BY RUSS RELIEF cation for a perpetual injunction re- straining the Lambert Ore company, otherwise described as the E%, SW Signing of Appropriation for and W% BEX of section 7-32-63.

There was gossip also that the domestic visible supply total in Monday might be expected to show something of a decrease. Opening quo- tations which varied from %c to %c higher, with May $1.16% to $1.16% and July $1.04%5 to $1.04%, were fol lowed by moderate additional gains. Assertions Jater that exporters were after wheat arid that milling demand ‘was improving led to a further ad- vance, which, however, turned out to be transient. The close was unset- tied, %0 to 20 net higher, with May $1.16% to $1.16% and July $1.04% to $1.04%. Corn and oats, like wheat, were given n upward impulse by the sign- ing of the Dill for Russian relief. After opening unchanged to %o off, May 54%c to 54%o the corn market scored a fair general advance. Subsequently lightness of receipts and smallness of rural offerings were factors on the bull side. Prices closed ‘unsettled, %o to %4e net higher, with May at 55c. Oats started unchanged to %o high- er, May 88%c and then continued to harden. Provisions derived firmness from higher quotations on hogs. Closing Quotations. CHICAGO, Dec. 23.— Wheat— Open High Low.
