WHEAT OPTIONS UP SHARPLY ON BULLISH NEWS Winter Crop Condition Is Lowest in 70 Years: Corn Drags. BV HAROLD E. RAIXVILLE United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, April 11.—Sensationally bullish crop reports and higher cables gave wheat a 1 to 2% cents higher opening on the Board of Trade today. The government's report of winter wheat Monday was surprising even to a trade that expeated a bullish report. Shores covered hurriedly, and buying tlrrotigh commission houses was heavy. The buying wave swept over all pitts, but corn dragged somewhat and was % cent lower to % cent higher. Oats was % to L cent higher and rye shot up I' 4 to 1?* cents. Provisions also w'ere strong. Liverpool started sharply higher and advanced 1% cents by midafternoon. The government report indicated a total winter w'heat crop of 334,000,000 bushels against 462,000,000 bushels harvested last year. Condition at 59.4 per cent was the lowest reported in seventy years, and indicates a larger abandonment than anticipated. The government made no prediction on corn, but the strength in wheat was the chief factor. Cash demand remains good and prices are slightly higher. Wet weather has put oats planting ten days to two weeks behind normal in the chief growing area of Illinois and lowa, and this is giving futures more strength than the pit has show'n in some time.

Higher Wages , Inflation Needed , Durant Declares
Senate Asks Noted Writer for Opinions Regarding Business Ills. By Times Special NEW YORK. April 11.—Moderate inflation was recommended today by Will Durant, popularizer of philosophy, as a partial means of curj ing present economic ills. “Inflation seems unavoidable.” he , said, “if we are to reduce that burden of internal debt which is stifling trade and ruining our banks and investments.” He said the same thing, too, in a communication to the Senate committee on finance in response to its request that he—as he said—“speak his piece about the depression.” “The evils of inflation.” he predicted, “would probably be two. First, a temporary reduction in the purchasing power of wage earners and the recipients of fixed incomes. Second, the difficulty of controlling inflation. But the experience of France, Italy and England indicates that this fear has been exaggerated. “The advantages of inflation probably would be five. Would Raise Prices “First, to raise prices. Therefore to discourage hoarding, stimulate purchasing, and so aid employment. To encourage manufacturing and ease credits to manufacturers. To reduce the burden of internal debt. To protect what remains of our foreign trade from the competition of inflated currencies.” Dr. Durant also looked favorably upon reruralization the distribution of unemployed families on farms—and he spoke up for Reconstruction Finnace Corporation loans for building replacements of city slums. High taxes on inheritances, he believes, will help and so will tax exemptions from government securities. Employment, he said, can be encouraged by shortened working days, legal minimum wages rising with the price index, compulsory employment insurance and the establishment of employment agencies in all post offices. Remove Postal Limits The restoration of the credit system, he thinks, may be attained by “roioving the limits on postal savings, so offering a secure repository for the people’s funds.” The government might then borrow from the people, he pointed out, and pay 3 per cent. But national banks, he added, should be regulated as to investments, and the government should supervise the whole credit structure. International peace he called a necessity if times are to be improved and to further this he advocated tariff agreements with individual nations, reduction of intergovernmental debts, conditional recognition of Russia, permanent commissions to deal with war causes and a reduction of armaments. America does not need new foreign markets to insure a revival, he said. Instead, his recommendation was:— Federal Credits Favored “The establishment of a national economic council to give unity, order and self-control to industry, to bring about, by agreement, higher levels of remuneration, thereby to raise the purchasing power of the public and to rest the industry and prosperity of America not on the capture of foreign markets at the cost of war but on our own market of 126,000,000 people.” He asked for the legal recapture and retention of all mineral, fuel and power resources of the soil and government control of all major means of transportation. He is in favor, too, of government credits to agriculture and industrial co-opera-tives. Then he got to what he called “the reconstruction of democracy.” That, he said, may be achieved by the technical preparation for public office and through establishment of schools of government in the universities. “Democracy,” said he, “should be redefined as meaning not the equal right of all to hold office but the equal right and opportunity of all to make themselves fit to hold office.”

BUSINESS TREND SHOWS STEADY UPWARDCLIMB U. S. Failures During Week Are Lowest Reported in 8 Years. General business trend during the last week displayed a steady upturn, according to Dun & Bradstreet’s weekly business review. The first worthwhile increase in wholesale commodity prices since last October was recorded, with gains ranging as high as .446 per cent, shown. Checking of the continuous lower trend was believed due to strength displayed in several food, clothing and metal groups. Daily commodity price index of thirty basic commodities reached the highest point of the year at 73 83. * This was 5.97 points above the low made in January. Failures Are Less Business failures in the United States during last week continued to decrease. The total was 437, against 610 a year ago and 549 m the corresponding week of 1931. Defaults during March held to the lowest margin since 1925, setting a new eight-year record. With steel trade on a restricted basis, recovery' in the industry is developing slowly, showing a slight improvement at approximately 15 per cent of capacity. Railroad buying remains around normal for various supplies. Backed by a diversified increase in new orders, steel ingot production in Chicago is around 14 per cent of capacity. Demand from practically all classes of consumers was considerably stronger during the last week. Activity prevailed in steel sheet and pig iron sales. Bottle Makers Busy Total bank clearings reported during the last week from all leading cities in the United States amounted to $4,246,521,000. This is a decrease of 24.0 per cent under that of a year ago. Largest reductions were reported from eastern and western sections. Activity in manufacturing centers has broadened rather sharply compared with a month ago. Several small bottle manufacturing com- ; panics are working night and day j shifts to supply the heavy demands for beer bottles. Production of bar glassware also is at a slightly nigher rate. RUNS 99 CENTS OVER Poor Relief Expenditures Almost Perfect With Trustee's Receipts. Only 99 cents more than total receipts of $2,056,779 were expended in 1932 for poor relief at the office of Miss Hannah Noone, Center township trustee, according to the audit of her accounts made by Berne Raquet and George W. McKenney, examiners for the state board of accounts. Expenditures in 1932 showed a large increase over the $697,762 figure for 1931, the examination covering both years.
