In the Stock Market

(By Thompson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, April 16.—There Is little use trying to connect business conditions with those of the stock market for traders refuse to concern themselves with fundamental economics, but justify their continuous optimistic attitude by pointing to the fact that stock prices continue to advance and that, right or wrong, this has been the most profitable attitude. Whether a change in sentiment will occur during the current week or not is difficult to say for with the present state of mind some unimportant piece of news is just as likely to sway opinion from the optimistic to the pessimistic. Therefore, the only possible suggestion to make at the moment is—be careful. Take profits whenever possible, even though they may not reach the amount anticipated. This is the safest and most profitable course to pursue. COTTON OPENING By United Press NEW YORK, April 16.—Cotton lutures opened higher.

EAST FREIGHT RATE REVISION RECOMMENDED Examiner Howard Hosmer Proposes General Change. Em United Press WASHINGTON, April 16. A general revision of freight rates in eastern territory was recommended to the Interstate Commerce Commission today by Examiner Howard Hosmer. Twenty-two classes of freight rates are prescribed in Hosmer’s report and anew scale of rates for each class is proposed. In some cases the new rates are above existing figures and in others they are below the present charges. First-class rates in the report are base don a mileage scale, beginning at 30 cents a hundred pounds for the first five miles and running up to $1.56 for 9000 miles. Secondclass rates would be 85 per cent of first-class; third-class would be 70 per cent; fourth-class, 50 per cent; fifth-class, 35 per cent, and sixthclass, 30 per cent. Some Increases Prohibted The first-class rates proposed for the eastern territory are about 73 per cent of those previously prescribed for southern territory. Increases on rates on fruits, vegetables and dairy products would be prohibited. Rates 10 per cent higher than the foregoing basic level are proposed by Hosmer from points in northwestern Illinois, zone C in* Michigan, zone B iln New England, certain branch lines of the New York Central in northern New York and certain branch lines in Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky to other points in the offical eastern territory. Authorizes Desired Groups The report authorizes a grouping proposed by carriers of New York City and states anew basis of rates substantially the same as those proposed by the railroads. Hosmer disapproved addition of “constructive mileage” (meaning additional charge fo 7- over water transportation at Baltimore and Philadelphia), and recommended basing the distance there on central points in those cities. The report recommended that standard rail rate to lakes and from Chicago be made 85 per cent of the all rail rate and rail lake rates via Chicago and 90 per cent of the all rail rates, but recommended no other finds as to water rail rates.

WHEAT AT TOP OF FRACTIONAL UPTURN IN PITS Major Grain Situation Little Changed: All Futures Advance. By United Press CHICAGO, April 16.—A1l grain futures opened fractionally higher on the Board of Trade today, wheat leading the upturn. Opening figures were: Wheat, % to %c higher; corn, 14c up, and oats, % to %c higher. Provisions opened higher. There was little change in the wheat situation. Liverpool failed to follow Saturday’s advance here, but local bullish sentiment seemed strong enough to offset this factor Weather over the central and western belt sections was a little more favorable. Cash corn is still tight. Com and oats advanced mostly on wheat’s strength. There was no news of importance In corn.

HOPETOCURE HAY FEVER BY NEWEXTRACT Albumen Found Active Agent in Pollen: Season of Grief Here. Bv Science Service WASHINGTON, April 16.—The spring hay fever season is officially started. Maple and elm trees, oaks, hickories and walnuts have announced the open season for sneezing by broadcasting their pollen on the April air. And in return the first faint hay fever sneezes have promptly been set off. Spring hay fever, caused by the pollen from trees, is less likely to be recognized than the summer hay fever due to weeds and grasses, according to Dr. Harry S. Bernton, associate professor of preventive medicine, Georgetown University Medical School. Many people who start sneezing about this time of year attribute their symptoms to colds due to fickle changes of spring weather. Hope for some of the baffling cases of hay fever due to grass pollen is held out this year by Dr. Bernton, through new analyses of the pollen grains. It has been customary to find out the kind of pollen that irritates the nasal tissues of each hay fever victim, and then treat the patient with injections of that particular pollen extract until he becomes immune. Recently, by anaylzing the pollen, it has been found that a person may be sensitive to one substance in a grain of pollen and not to the rest of the material packed in the tiny grain. Some cases that have stubbornly resisted treatment are due entirely to a sensitiveness to the albumen fraction in the pollen, Dr. Berton has found. Albumen makes up only about one-ninth of the extractable protein in the pollen grain. So when these patients were treated with pollen extract they did rot get big enough doses of a bumen to help them. This year, Dr. Bernton is reinforenig the extract of albumen to sen if these puzzling patients can be rendered sneezeproof. Foresighted sufferers from summer hay fever are now having the usual pollen injections to render their noses invulnerable by the time the summer pollens get on the air. The newer method of having injections twice a month throughout the year, instead of taking a steady series of treatments before each hay fever season is slowly gaining favor, Dr. Bernton said. This method seems to produce a more permanent immunity to the disease, but the average hay fever sufferer likes to forget his sensitive nose entirely in the months when he can breathe freely.

REALTORS WORK FOR 1929 HOME EXHIBIT Signed Contracts Already in; Blame Weather for Drop in Crowds. J. F. Cantwell, director of the seventh annual Realtors’ Home show, which closed Saturday night, announced today that plans were already under way for the 1929 show, and that signed contracts from a number of exhibitors are in his hands. While unseasonable weather cut the total attendance a few thousand below that of last year, the public interest was high, and buyers many. The centerpiece of the show, the model home, is being torn down, and will be reconstructed at once on a foundation already prepared at Forty-Ninth and Graceland Ave. Bridges and Graves, the builders, announced that the home will be open for public inspection for six weeks before it is placed on sale.

INDIANA WHEAT OUTLOOK POOR; RYE VERY LOW Purdue Reports Poorest Condition in 46 Years. Bp Times Special LAFAYETTE. Ind., April 16.—The condition of winter wheat in Indiana April 1 was the poorest recorded at the same period in fortysix years, while rye was also reported very low at fifty-six per cent of normal, according to the State crop report by the department of agricultural statistics of the Purdue University agricultural experiment station in cooperation with the United States Department of Agriculture. Reports from more than 900 farm/ indicate that winter wheat is only twenty-nine per cent of normal, lower than It has been in nearly half a century, the period covered by the reports. Previous low years at the same date showed fifty-one per cent of normal In 1900; fiftyeight in 1916, and fifty-nine in 1920. For the last ten years the average has been eighty-two while the condition last year was eighty-seven. The east central part of the State, with a reported condition of forty per cent, has the best prospect of any section of the State, with the northeast next with thirty-eight. In general the condition is lower towards the southwest corner of the State, although adjoining counties show considerable difference. Lagrange County with sixty-five per cent reports the highest condition, while Jackson is lowest with five per cent. The condition of pasture is seven-ty-one per cent compared with eighty-nine per cent last year and a four-year average of eighty per cent, while milk production per farm shows a drop to eighty and eight-tenths pounds this year as compared with eighty-six and sixtenths pounds last year. The production of creamery butter for January was estimated as nine and six hundredths larger than in December and slightly larger than in January last year. Eggproductions on farms with farm flocks showed a slight drop along with the drop in the average number of hens per farm
