Wheat $1.30 Per Bushel
Yesterday Chicago prices on wheat
justified the Norman dealers in offer-
ing $1.30 for best wheat, and that is
the ruling price today. Chicago mar-
kets opened this morning at a one cent
decline, and the tendency seems to
be downward, but you can never tell.
Corn remains about the same—from
71 to 73 cents.
Cotton declined in the New Orleans
Market 8 to 11 points yesterday, with
downward tendency. High price was
$14.50 for May. October opened at
$14.09 and closed at $13.36.

The weather observer in Oklahoma
City sees no change in the situation
and continues to throw the "Fair" flag
to the breeze, predicting that tonight
and Sunday will continue about the

In parts of the state conditions are
getting critical even for cotton.
RUCKER HOME FROM MARKET
W. N. Rucker returned last night
from Chicago and St. Louis, where he
purchased a large stock of fall and
winter goods for his chain of stores.
In Chicago, he attended the great
styles show of ladies' ready-to-wear
garments, said to be the greatest ex-
hibit ever given in the west. Mr.
Rucker says desirable goods are much
higher in price and difficult to get, but
he succeeded in getting a good assort-
ment of the best styles. He pur-
chased some lines of white goods sev-
eral months ago, and made a ten-
strike by doing so, as prices have ad-
vanced. His customers will get the
benefit.
Silks and other goods will begin ar-
riving Monday. Watch for them.

Goodrich, in this city.
TREMENDOUS
SUCCESS
Mr. L. J. Edward's "Old Fiddlers
Contest" Draws Big Crowd and
Furnishes Joyous Enter-
tainment—"Nother
One Soon.
The "Old Fiddlers Contest," pro-
moted by Mr. L. J. Edwards and put
on in the Citizens Park west of the
Daily Transcript office last night, was
a pronounced success from every
standpoint. A great crowd attended,
and gave euthusiastic applause and ;
the best of attention. Many praises
of Mr. Edwards for promoting the af-
fair were heard, and hopes that an-
other one would be given soon.
Mr. Edwardu acted as master of
ceremonies, and tho fittingness with
which he introduced each performer
indicated that he was not new to the
position of "barker" for a show.
The performers were Tom Cheat-
wood, Democratic candidate for county
attorney, who gave some fine old-
fashioned selections, second only to
those of the celebrateda Bob Taylor,
who fiddled his way into the highest
positions in Tennessee.
Also, the renowned Jeff Gibbs, who
gave "The Arkansas Traveler" and
kindred selections with great gusto.
Also, Collie Cobble and Mr. Corbin
and Earnest Belden, all of whom
demonstrated their excellent ability on
the fiddle.
Also, pretty little Miss Nancy
Devore, who danced most gracefully,
to the great pleasure of the audience.
Also, Seben Howry, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Geo. Howry, who played the
violin like a master and gave a de-
lightful little dance.
Also, Theo. Wilson, who is here
from Altus visiting Walter and Joe
Martin, who showed marked ability
in handling the fiddle and the bow.
All of them did "grand" and brought
forth many plaudits.
Mr. Edwards will have another open
air concert, probably some time next
week, and put on some new stunts.
Watch for announcements.
No Arbitration FORD'S BIG DAY
Railroad Managers and Trainmen
Unable to Get Togetner—Seems
Likely Strike Will Begin
in Few Days.
It is now evident that the trainmen
and railroad managers can come to
no agreement about their differences
and that the beginning of the long-
heralded strike by four brotherhoods
is a question of only a few days. The
trainmen absolutely decline to recede
from their demands for an eight-hour
day and time and a half for overtime,
and the managers refuse to accede to
their demands. The Board of Arbi-
tration and Conciliation are unable
to bring them to an agreement, and
now say they intend to check the
whole matter up to President Wilson.
"We do not intend," said W. S.
Stone, chief of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Engineers, "to wait very long
on the mediators. The temperament
of the men is such that they would
not have waited a minute if we had
not persuaded them to give the me
diators a chance. Personally I do not
care to carry the strike vote around
in my pocket for any extended period.
It is like a stick of dynamite."
One report current today was that
the railroad managers were ready to
propose a different form of arbitra-
tion than that provided for under the
Newlands act, which the brotherhood
objects to. This was that instead of
six arbitrators—two appointed by
each side and two neutrals—the board
consists of four appointed by each
side and four or six neutrals, making
a total membership of twelve or four-
teen. This would make it possible also
for each of the four brotherhoods to
have an arbitrator on the board.
There are 225 railroads and their
400,000 employes involved in the con-
troversy.

Ford Plant at Oklahoma City Feeds
5,000 Ford Owners and Parade
Four Miles Ixmg.
The sale of 11,000,000 cars for
$25,000 (or maybe it is 25,000 cars for
$11,000,000) was the estimated results
of Ford Day in Oklahoma City yester-
day. This is supposed to be the en-
tire output of the Ford plant in Okla-
homa City for the next twelve months,
but if they run out of cars up there
they'll get more of them from Detroit
and other centers.
Ford cars have been passing through
Norman all day today, going south,
many of them new ones that took
part in the parade yesterday.
The leading features of the day
were:
One thousand cars moved in the
parade. The procession vCas four
miles long and required 45 minutes
to pass a given point, moving at an
average rate of twelve miles an hour.
At the Ford assembling plant
5,000 persons were fed at a huge buf-
fet luncheon; 10,000 persons were
shown through the building.
Two hundred and twenty-five dis-
trict agents from all parts of Okla-
homa and Texas participated in the
celebration. They brought with them j
500 Ford owners and prospective
owners.
