This fact started the "Bull" traders into a more general selling which resulted in a decline throughout the whole list of Jto li percent. The movement was also assisted by the continued hammering of a few of tne leading bears. There are apparently a few conservative traders, who are willing to buy stocks on the decline today for a sharp rally, but it now looks as if they would be bought cheaper tomorrow.

Dispatches from all the news centres in the grain-growing sections ot the West and Northwest show that the weather has been unsettled. The temperature has been high generally, and some tedious heavy rains, accompanied by high winds, have fallen. At many points oats, rye and barley, the growth of which has been heavy, have been prostrated by the combined effects of wind and rain.

Suspecting the boy, he made a charge against him before Justice Bible. Veltman was arrested and $17 of the money was recovered, together with a velopipede that Veltman had purchased with the balance. Veltman charged Jarvis with having aided him in committing the robbery, which Jarvis denied. Having recovered the most of his money, Monahan did not press the charge and Veltman was discharged. A day or two later Veltman and Jarvis met and the latter, it is charged by Veltman, kicked him.
