(By Thomson & McKinnon.) —April 5—■ This morning there was a general disposition to take a more hopeful view of European conditions, and while there has been no actual change In the labor situation In England, and notwithstanding the fact that the transportation employes are still considering the question of supporting the miners. It was generally assumed here that conditions are more likely to grow better than worse. From Russia there was an exceedingly encouraging report to the effect that the government had actually relinquished control over manufacturing plants and the owners would bo permitted to conduct operations. The most furorable point In our own affairs was the lowering of money rates. The progressive Improvement In the position of our banks as disclosed In recent statements of tho reserve banks, leads many to believe thnt a lowering of the rediscount rate may be looked for In the very near future. Our market, while professionals are still disposed to maintain a bearish position. gave a good account of Itself. There was a fair demand for stocks from commission houses and during the greater part of the day, shorts were ou the defensive and whenever they attempted a covering movement, a scarcity of the supply of stocks became apparent. We feel that the market has fully discounted unfavorable factors, and that any change for the better will meet with a ready response and advancing values, TWENTY 9TOCKS AVERAGE.

WHEAT PRICES SUFFER COLLAPSE July Wheat Dropped 6 Cents in Final Hour. CHICAGO, April 5. —Wheat prices collapsed in tho last hour of trade, after registering sharp upturns early on substantial short covering. July wheat dropped over C cents from the high of the day and recorded anew low on the crop when It sold at $1.10%. Reports of beneficial rains in Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma, relieving the droughty conditions over a large area, started a wave of selling later that improved as support faded. Coarse grains followed wheat. Provisions ruled higher. March wheat declined l%c and July 4@’4%C. May and July corn lost %e and September corn unchanged. May oats dropped %e; July was %c off and September unchanged to %c higher. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) —April 5 Wheat—The recent export business and the strength In cash wheat overcame ; tho effect of rains in tha Southwest in the early wheat market. During the day further rains wore reported from more Eastern sections, which again brought to mind the present excellent stand of the. growing crop. Values responded readily to tills condition and the market is still devoid of any broud Investment demand. There was a little export business in new wheat for July-August shipment, but nothing reported In the old crop. Premiums for cash wheat were firm and 1% 2e higher. Cush handlers in tho Southwest lell us that it is very easy to >'U wheat for export but rather difficult to buy the wheat from the country to fill the sales. It is admitted that the outlook for the crop offers no motive for investment, but on the other hand, the sell lug of July wheat at some 40c under the price of old wheat Is taking too much for granted. It must be remembered that 1 the size of the crop of winter Wlit-ut is 1 determined by weather conditions during late May and early June. In other words, during bloom of the plant ami filling of the heads. Heretofore these sharp depressions have uncovered export bus.nss, and if the same thing occurs on today s depression the market, especially the May delivery, will recover readily. Corn and Oats—A renewal of export business in corn and reports of foreign demand for Cuuadian oats and Inquiries in this market, together with ths early strength lu wheat, prompted a decided right-about on the part of many previous sellers. When the demand Irorn this source was satisfied, values again felt the hedging load which Ues lu these markets. We believe oil uppearuuees of strength In both corn and outs will be rather short lived. Provisions-—Support in the provision market was forthcoming from lurger packers and as offerings were not large, tnurket ruled steady. There is no evidence of auy Important improvement lu the foreign demand for products. CHICAGO GRAIN, —April 3 WHEAT— Open. High. Low. Close.

ANOTHER BASIC SOVIET THEORY IN THE DISCARD Factories, Failing Under Government Control, Being Turned Back . PARIS, April s.—The soviet government, according to advices from Moscow to the French foreign offlce today, has decided to denationalize all factories. They are beginning with those in the Moscow district. The Russian economic failure is given as the cause. The factories are be- ! ing turned back to their former foreign owners for exploitation. The above dispatch may be of tremendous significance, since it indicates a momentous change in the economic policy of the soviet government which is not unlikely the direct result of the recent pronoHDclamento of the American State Department In which Secretary Hughes announced America would be glnd to resume peaceful trade relations with Russia provided thnt Moscow gave proof of a peaceful, safe and solid foundation for such relations. The Paris Foreign Offlce, being inherently hostile to the soviets, may be supposed to have given the nows from Moscow its own interpretation. Nationalization has been one of tbe pillars of the soviet’s economic policy and has been regarded by big capital in other countries as the main obstacle to peace with Russia. JAPAN BUYING PLANE MOTORS Explains Equipment to Be Used for Commercial Purposes. LONDON, - —“Although Japan has placed ord.yrs in England for a large quantity of airplane engines and parts these are entirely for commercial purposes." This was tbe explanation given by a leading official of the Japaneso embassy of the announcement that substantial orders for such material had been given to a number of British manufacturers. “It 1* also a fiact that over a score of experts have sailed for Japan,’’ he continued. “They will instruct onr men in the construction of airplanes and the assembling of the various parts. We have ; a large plant for airplane construction ; and they will be engaged there. “We have also arranged for a number of flyers—-men of great skill and experi-ence-—who will instruct our flyers. We have found that our pilots are liable to be a little reckless and careless and our loss of life has been out of all proportion ‘.o the number of men engaged. This is probably due to the temperament of our men, who are apparently opt to be a Uttlo reckless. "The ultimate object of this Large investment in airplanes 1* to establish land and eoaet routes in various parts of the eastern empire for commercial purposes. We believe very strongly In the future of the airplane and we its utility in the development of trade." When asked If the aircraft would be used for military purposes, the official said: “It Is purely a commercial proposition. Os course, if It became necessary we could turn them Into fighting machines 1 —but we sec no prospect of having to take such a course. A large number of machines was obtained by a Chinese firm from Vickers and the revolutionary general who has been making so much trouble there lately took possession of them and turned them Into fighting planes. “If the need arose we could do the j same thing, of course, but we do not anticipate such a necessity. “Japan’s movements seem to give much concern to some of the other nations, but I can ass re you that we are in no position, economically or otherwise, to declare war on anybody. A statement has been made that we have ordered three warships, fully equipped, from a Liverpool firm and that they are actually under construction. “This statement Is entirely without foundation. We have extensive shipbuilding plants in Japan where we could do all of our own building at a very much less rate than we could purchase them here. We are doing nothing more than carrying out the plans we made years ago for the improvement of our navy.” GREEKS FALLING BACK ON BROUSSA Three New Classes Called Up to Fight Turks.
