GRAIN QUOTATIONS E. W. WAGNER & CO.'S REVIEW CHICAGO. April 9. Corn was active and sharply higher early with all deliveries at a new high level. Commission houses were free buyers la small lots, but the bulge brought about Belling by big trade. Local professionals also sold heavily and the result was a sharp decline. Hedging Bales were again in evidence in May corn. Sentiment was changed materially and there is more disposition to give credence to bearish news and the belief is gaining ground that a number of fundamentals that have been ignored will sooner or later have influence on values. The country sold cash corn freely. Oats displayed strength early but like corn experienced heavy selling and sharp reaction followed. Country offerings are larger CHICAGO GRAIN RANGE Furnished by E.

OXFORD TURNS DOWN LIGHTING PROPOSAL OXFORD, O., April 9. The proposal of Robert S. Ashe of Richmond. Ind., to furnish electric current to Oxford was rejected by the council yesterday at a meeting called for the purpose of taking some definite action on the question of light. The engineer, Fred H. Froehlich, of Toledo, reported that he had held several conferences with Ashe, and that he had signified bis desire to meet all the requirements of this place. Mr. Froehlich stated that he considered Ashe's bid a good one, but that he had definite Information that the Ohio Gas & Electric company of Middletown, was ready to submit two propositions one to purchase the Oxford plant and distribution system, and the other to furnish current at wholesale. Either of . these propositions, Mr. Froehlich said, would be better for Oxford than the Ashe proposition. If the plant was sold, Oxford would receive sufficient money to rehabilitate its waterworks, so badly in need of repairs, he declared. Also it would get good light rates 10 cents for the first 150 K. W. H., 9 cents from 151 to 300 K. W. H., 8 cents from 301 to 600 K. W. H., and 7 cents for all over 600 K. W. H. On these rates there would be a discount of 10 per cent if bills were paid before the tenth of the month, and no meter rent would be charged. If Oxford decided to purchase current from the Middletown company, the line to be built would be much better than the one proposed by Ashe; also there would be two sources of supply the Middletown plant, and the plant of the Union Gas and Electric company of Cincinnati, he asserted. Council voted to advertise for bids on the sale of the plant and the furnishing of current at wholesale. PAROLES APPROVED FOR TWO WAYNE MEN (By Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, April 9.

Bible Classes to Make Extra Effort in Drive With seventy more men to be secured before the Bible classes of Richmond churches reach the desired goal of 1,000, extra effort will be made next Sunday to attain the ultimate goal. At a meeting of the executive committee of the men's Bible classes at the Y. M. C. A. Tuesday evening, it was planned to again receive reports from all the churches in the campaign by telephone and send out the total reports to be announced at the churches. The committee requested that all leaders of the church Bible classes telephone their attendance to the Y. M. C. A. by or before 10 o'clock Sunday morning. Three phones of the association will be reserved for this purpose. By ten minutes after 10 o'clock Secretary Carlander expects to have the total report from all churches computed and give it to all churches that call by that time. The men's Bible classes intend to reach the total of 1,000 men by next Sunday and increase that number as much as possible by Easter, when the campaign will be completed and the winner of the silk American flag presented.
