Liverpool and by selling here to realize profits. For at least the ti being, buyers showed a not- able di ition to await methods before taking hold. Besides, the movement of new Argentine wheat ‘was sald to be developing volume earlier than had been expected. Opening prices, which ranged from %0 to Ko lower, with May §1.63% to $1.66% and July $1.45% to 91.45% were followed by a npg further decline. Rain In parts of Argentina 1 had a bearish effect on the corn market and also on oats. After opening at Yac to Ic off, May, $1.38 to $1.28%, corn continued to recede. Oats started at %0 to Kc decline, May, 63%0 and later showed an ad- ditional sag. Provisions were weak, sympathis- ing with grain. There was rather persistent seli- ing on the part of commission houses. Furthermore country offer- ings were somewhat liberal. The closing was unsettled, 1% to 2% net lower, May, 1.27% to 1.27%. Bubsequently the fact that Eur- opean demand today appeared to be confined largely to Canadian wheat was a handicap to friends of high- er prices.

Grain and Stock Opinions From Brokerage Wire Stock Opinions. Hornblower and Weeks—Buying in sufficient volume to make it im- portant is still apparent in ber of directions and as long as thi buying ts present, we would not ex- pect much in the way of lower prices. Strength in equipment stocks continues prominent and in- dicates still higher prices. / Pynchon and company—We sus- west purchase of Great Western Sug- ar at the market before the move Lage well underway. Milk and company—The bull Position still appeals to us. Rails are preferable to many of the in- dustrials. r Block Mahoney—The only profit taking probably comes from specula- tive interests who think they can re- place holdings lower down. But the dips are small and they may lose their stock. Certainly the outlook in every important respect is optl!- mistit and we think present prices later on will look low for such is- sues as U. 8. 8. and N. Y. Grain Opinions.

Ribbons were first award: ed the displays of potatoes which were arranged on tables in the base- ment. Many a housewife found this fea- ture of the show the most interest- ing. Comments were freely made on the various edible and culinary qualities of the varieties shown. State exhibitions of potatoes held in the past have made a point of seed displays, but an ultilitarian record was maked up yesterday when it was found that fatly half of the exhibihits were commercial spuds. In line with its widely advertised policy of home products for Wyo- ming consumption, Casper civic or- Banizations welcomed the commer: cial groups which indicate there is no necessity for using potatoes grown outside of the state, Taking six first prizes, J.

The decision is an important one and sets a precedent in the ‘state courts of Wyoming, though the fed- eral court for the Wyoming district has held similarly in several cases, Mudge drove his car on the cross. ing of the raflway at Glenrock, Feb- ruary 25, and was struck by a Northwestern freight train which demolished the car but causing no injury to Mudge. Mudge claimed the train was moving at excessive speed, but admitted he did not hear nor see the train approach, though he could observe the track more than 100 feet in each direction from the point of crossing and further admitted he looked but once in the direction of the approaching train. The railway. proved its train was moving at nor- may speed and that Mudge did not ure proper precaution in crossing the track. Mudge filed sult against the rail- road for the recovery of $750 as dam- ages for the car and $2,100 exem- plary damages. The case was tried before Judge Brown and a jury. The jury returned a verdict of $282.60. J. B. Barnes, Wyoming at- torney for the Northwestern an Maurer and Walker, local attorn for the company, filed a motion for & reversal of the verdict of the jury and a noneult, Arguments were made in the court, December 8, the contention being that Mudge failed, to use proper precaution.

WASHINGTON, Dec, 11.—Offl clals here of the American Federa tion of Labor are endeavoring tc keep in telegraphic communicatior with Samuel Gompers, president o the. federation, who js ill aboard a train bound from Mexico City to the American border. As a result of communications through which Mrs, Gompers, wite of the elderly chief, hag been kept informed his intimate assistants were inclined today to believe theré ‘was not immediate danger of death.
