WHEAT AND CORN
MAKEJIG DROPS
On Report of Destruction of Fort, of
the Dardanelles Pricei Are Off
Seven Cents.
RECEIPTS HERE ARE SMALL
Talking Slates
for Coming City
Commissioner Race
The decline in each wheat Friday
was almost as sensational as the ad
vance of a month or so ago. Inside
of an hour after the opening of the
market the prices had gone down 7
to 9 cents from those of Thursday,
the drop being held well to the close.
An attempt at a rally came during
the middle of the session, but prices
gained but a couple of cents and
then went off, the bottom price be
ing near the close of the day.
With seventeen cars of wheat on sale.
prices ranged from ll.JB to SI. 424.
None of the, grain men cared to ven
ture an opinion as to the drop In wheat
prices over night, .-onio ventured the,
opinion that the destruction of the Turk
iuh forts along the Iardamllea by the
fleet of the allies had something to d,
with it, though at tho same time they
pointed to the report that the visible
supply of wheat In the Vnlted Slates
is but 51,Xi9,0eo bushels, some 10.0W.fW
bushels less than one year ago. This
alone, they say, should boost, Instead of
depress prices, as it Is close to four
months before a new rop can possibly le
ready for the market.
During the session : wire cum from
New York to one of ihe branch houses
here, asserting that i foreign govern
ment was asking prices on 15.000.Oin
bushels of wheat within sixty days and
that on account of the comparatively
small visible supply It was Impossible to
fix a price.
Corn, of which there was only ten cars
on sale, brought HO to 4 cents per bushel,
a decline of 5 to 6 centj from Thursday.
Oats were off - to 4 cents per bushel,
the prices being 49 to 494 cents.
The latest political rumor is that llnrry
B. Zlmman wili be placed on the city hall
slats in place of . Commissioner J. J.
Jlyder. Like most of the political reports
being circulated Just now, It Is difficult
to trsce this one back to its source. As
a matter of fact, there has been no of
ficial announcement of a city hall elate,
but the politicians take It for granted
that the present commissioners will pres
ent a solid front at the primary on April 6.
Mr. Zlmman says he has heard of this
matter from various sources, but Is dis
inclined to take it seriously. His opinion
is that the present city commissioners
will all stand together for the primary, or
else make Individual campaigns.
T.ouls Bumv-'ster is actually In the race.
His petition Is being circulated and he la
out with his quest for support.
Joe Morrow, bailiff In the county court
building, has something under his
hat, which he will not reveal to even his
closest confidants. Mr. Morrow Is said
to be working up a "Sutton elate," but he
very discreetly denies knowledge of any
such activity. The best information
available on the subject is that Mr. Mor
row is endeavoring to form a nucleus of
Sutton. F. S. Howell, S. A. Corneer and
John DrexoL
Among the new candidate possibilities
are John Power, former sheriff and
known as "Honest John" Power; W. ,T.
Hunter, former member of the old fire
and police board, and Edward Simon,
member of the last legislature.

Ask for Shelter and

Fontenelle Hotel
It was an unusual predicament that
Lester Allen and Joe Vesova found them
selves In Thursday. The pair obtained
employment at the Fontenelle In the
rapacity of elevator conductor and yard
man, respectively. They worked last
night, and when all the guests had do
parted and the two were through with
their work, they were told to come back
Friday and get on the Job.
In the meantime they came to police
headquarters for a place to eleep, pending
the opening of the employes' quarters.
Their appcaraneo before Turnkey Andy
Vahey brought forth a laugh.
'Where do you live?" he asked.
"Fontenelle hotel," they replied.
"Search these birds for coke?" sus
piciously Inquired the turnkey of Officer
Paddy Ryan, whose duty It Is to "frisk"
all lodgers.
Then the story came out.
Jews Will Observe

Malkentlna was piloting the machine

Purim. a half-holiday In the 1,-wiah
calendar, which commemorates the Fc-.ist
of Esther, will be observed in local syna
gogues Saturday evening and Sunday. It
was preceded Thursday by a fast day.
observed by Orthodox Jews, to corre
spond with the three days' fast decreed
according to the legend.
The synagogical service for this festival
Is limited to the reading of the Book of
Esther, or Megillah. upon the story of
which the celebration Is naaed.
Purim celebrates the victory of Morde
eal. the faithful Jew. over Hamap. the
grand vizier of the King Ahasuerus. who
plotted to destroy the Jew. Queen Esther,
It will be remembered, had been elevated
to the throne to succeed Vashti, who had
displeased the king. Esther wss a most
beautiful and virtuous maiden, and t was
through her intervention with the king
that the heroism of Mordecal and the
villainy of Hainan were disclosed to him.
The story of the Book of Esther reads
like a novel, and may or may not have
real historical value. Purim means "lots"
and the festival is so called because the
day on which the destruction of the
Jews was decreed was chosen by lots.
Purlin is a time of general festivity
among the Jews, and like most festivals
of the Jewish calendar It Is a time for
the giving of gifts to the poor.
