Total gales of stocks today were 1,226,400 shares; bonds, $10,037,000. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —April 25 The most eucournging feature during the past few days is the broadening of the stock market, the large number of Issues that participated In the activity of the advance. The significance is In the fact that the public are ready and willing and able to enter the market when an Incentive is present, and the Incentive at this time undoubtedly is the developments In Europe, which leads to the conclusion that settlement of the great reparations problem is near at hand. Other favorable developments have contributed to the markets improvement such as the continued inflow of gold, more of the precious metal Is on the way, new negotiations in England for the settlement of the coal strike, and a further advance in the price of crude oil. And not of least importance is the improvement in our credit Situation, with a further increase In the reserve percentage, the continued liquidation of bank loans, and the easier tendency of money. While the oil Stocks today were still the conspicuous group, others are attracting more attention and the rails today did well. Influenced no doubt by the assurance of Interstate Commerce Commission approval for the financing to be done by the Hill group of roads. During the day the trading was rather Irregular. There was an early demand followed by some profit taking, with no actual change so far as we are able to see. and it still looks to us like good policy to accumulate stocks on the reactions. * TWENTY STOCKS AVERAGE. NEW YORK. April 25—Twenty Industrial stocks averaged 78.15, up .52 per cent. Twenty active rails averaged 71.30, up 1.20 per cent. CREARING HOUSE STATEMENT.

Another severe fro-t occurred on the lsth, doing further damage to early fruit and truck crops. Corn ground preparation proceeded rapidly where fields were In condition to work. Some seeding has been done in southern counties. Indications now point to a decreased acreage. No old corn is moving to market, according to reports comming in. Frost has damaged the early sown winter wheat to some extent, but not sufficient to cause any fields to be abandoned. Many farmers fear severe damage by Hessian fly, although no spring damage is apparent at this time. Less spring wheat than usual was planted this spring. Some oats are still to be planted in to northern part of the Stnte. Frost damage to the early sown crop can not be estimated at this time. But little reseeding was done. The barley acreage remains about the same as last year and has nearly all been planted. The condition of rye Is practically the same as wheat. Early potatoes are being planted In the southern counties. There will be about the same acreage this year compared with last year. Timothy and mixed hay acreage will be about the same as last year, but the clover acreage will be considerably Increased. Clover and alfalfa have been seriously damaged by frost. Weather conditions are unfavorable for tobacco plants. A small acreage Is indicated. Cherries, peaches and plums were practically all killed by a succession of heavy trusts. Some of the late varieties of apples were not entirely killed. All live stock is in good condition, with the exception of a few scattered , cases of hog cholera. Pastures are In splendid condition and stock is being turned on It in most places. CHICAGO PRODITE. CHICAGO.

GRAIN FUTURES SUSTAIN LOSSES Wheat Levels in Downward Market Trend. CHICAGO, April 25.—Reaction following last week’s bull market on the Chicago Board of Trade set in today and carried all grain quotations down several points. •Wheat led In the drop, May delivery being o ffnearly 5 cents at the close. The weakness was Influenced by the luck of export demand and the continued lack of strength In the Canadian markets. Provisions were also carried down by the slump in grain and live stock. May wheat opened up %c at $1.30% and closed off 4%c. - After opening off %c at $1.07, July wheat lost 2c. May corn opened off %c at 61%c and slumped l%c additional. July corn opened at 63%c, down %c, and closed down 2%c additional. September corn opened off %c at 05%c and closed off iy4C. May oats opened down %c at 39%e and closed off another l%c. After opening off %c at 39%e, September oats dropped an additional l%c. (By Thomson A MKlnnon.) —April 25 Wheat—Crop news has all been favorable, cash wheat has been In slow demand everywhere and early advices from the seaboard noted ‘a complete withdrawal of foreign buyers. These were the items contributing to the decline in prices. It develops, however, that a fairly good export business has been done on the decline with Germany ami Italy the buyers. Greece is in the market for 1,300,000 bushels, but no action taken as yet. The export business now doing Is in both new and old crops, some of it for shipment last half of August. The visible supply shows another substantial decrease and will probably so continue as the movement from first hands is continued through to the seaboard and ultimately destined abroad. The Indian government estimates present wheat crop considerably smaller than last year and insufficient for home requirements by some 50,000,000. it is not likely that the market will show maintained weakness in tlie face of the new export business and the constant decrease In tlie visible accumulation. Corn and Oats—There has been further export business In corn, but, also, a sufficient increase in the offerings from the country to offset it and leave the market sympathetic to wheat. It is estimated that sales from here to the seaboard are around 560.000. The present weather Is delaying plowing and planting. Accumulations in Chicago elevators have commenced to decrease and will probably so continue as charters for vessel room are being freely made. We believe both corn and oats have good underlying foundation, but need a better distributing demand to Incite a broader buying power. Provisions Liberal receipts ,<vf lings and attendant lower prh-es together with the action of grains affected the provision market. There was buying of ribs by larger packers. There is a little better feeling in the entire market although no pronounced optimism. CHICAGO GRAIN. —April 25 — WHEAT— Open. High. Low. Close.

Enlist in the Army of Thrift By W. L. HARDING —War Governor of lowa The gold out of the furnace of experience as Governor of a great state, four years, during war and reconstruction and close intimacy with public and private affairs, can be summed up in the following:

The word “Thrift” is a synonym for Patriotism Patriotism is love of, and service to your country. “Thrift” is love of, and service to yourself, your community, state and country. “Thrift” is common business sense applied to what you earn or produce. The number of dollars you handle is not so important as the number of dollars you save. For the purpose of war men are available from the ages of 18 to 45, for tne purpose of “Thrift” men and women are available so long as they can produce more than they consume. There are three possible stages in an individual life Preparation Production —-Old Age. In this first stage you are naturally dependent. In the other two stages you can and should be independent. “Thrift” is independence. Nations plan and fight for independence. Go thou and do likewise —be “Thrifty.” Love yourself and be of service to yourself.

If YOU save a dollar and put it to work for YOU in a good investment, it will soon earn another dollar to work for
