Stock Quotations and Market News

Leased Wire Report. LIVE STOCK FUTURE HOLDS PROMISES OF DIG JUMP 111 PRICES Indiana, Ohio and Illinois Short of Feeders, Forecasting Higher Prices in Cattle Market. , In the past five mouths foot and mouth disease baa thrown a scare Into the live stock industry, and during the next six months or more this country Is going to feel the effects of that scare. There will be a shortage of fat cattle and bogs, occasioned by reason of federal and state quarantines, which were clamped down upon infected areas by the officials. Investment in thin cattle has been seriously hampered, but thai makes th outlook clearer to the man who now owns thin stock or who. is in a position to buy it. Illinois, Indiana and Ohio particularly have been short of feeders this winter. Spring is opening up now and with it is coming a clarified situation as arrecis ine nve stock lndusry. There is need for confidence in the future of live stock. The feeder must not look upon the next six or nine months as a good period to remain idle. ....... K The western markets are sending out generous supplies of feeder stock into free areas and the middle western states nromiBe soon to be able to ship faaAar mttlA Interstate. Shortage of cattle In the making now cannot hfp but create hiKh nrices. Hogs, as fell, nro not eolnz to be cbeao in the months ahead. Sheep and lambs are scarce now and certain to be for months. True, the feedstuff is high, but the man who has sold high priced corn via the "meat route" in recent years has been a winner, and his land, has also profited in fertility. It pays to have confidence in the live stock situation. This past winter was the first period of heavy losses to feeders in a series of years, and it was occasioned by unforeseen circumstances which may not hit this country again in many years.' EXCESS OF EXPORTS AIDS UNITED STATES Henry Clews, New York banker. In his weekly review of business conditions comments:There have been no further gold imports this week, although our merchandise exports continue to Bhow a heavy excess over imports. Shipments of food products continue 'on a very liberal scale, being quite sufficient to offset the declines in cotton, oils, lumber, etc. There has also been a very light increase in the shipments of steel manufactures and munitions of war. The continued excess of exports, which Is being accelerated by a heavy decline in imports, is rapidly turning the United States into a creditor nation. The debt which Sir George Paish referred to last Autumn has already been paid, and instead Europe is getting more and more into our debt. We are steadily buying less and selling more as a result of the war. Our interest payments, which used to be about 5350,000,000 annually, will be reh,w.oH hv th return of securities. The remittances by aliens to their friends in Europe, which are large in the aggregate, have een cut down materially. American tourists usually spend over $200,000,000 a year in Europe, and this outflow will be stopped this season. Our ocean freight bill, usually about 150,000.000 annually, will be smaller, because we only pay .the freight on imports. WHEAT CLOSES WEAK ON CHICAGO MARKET CHICAGO, March 17. There was a bear market in wheat today, and the closing prices were to 3c lower, with May the weakest spot on the list. There was considerable liquidation in May and it was poorly taken care of. As viewed from an impartial standpoint the longs in May wheat gave the bears all the room they cared to accept, and there will be a complete change in conditions before the week is over. Corn closed lower and oats were off Vs to c. Provisions were lower all around. STOCK COMPETITION IS RESTORED AGAIN Shipping competition is restored at Chicago in the cattle trade. The eastern states can again resume purchases. Cattle from free areas only are offered them, the shipping eastward to be under federal supervision. This means a re-establishment of a normal status of demand in the market. That it will result in price discrimination against stock from exposed," modified and reetructed areas, which consignments will not be eligible to eastern shipping demand, seems logical, but this condition will right Itself within a short time. A shippers' market all their own will mean fewer cattle for the Chicago laughter trade. It will mean that cattle owners in free areas will not have to take price punishment because of their selling stock which comes in con tact with that from quarantined tern tory. In proportion to population Japan has more suicides than any otner civi lzed nation. In the schools of Australia boxing has been Introduced as regular exerelse for schoolboys.

WHEAT CROP ESTIMATE There will ba no government report on winter wheat until after the first of April. In the meantime wheat must go through four weeks of changeable weather. The experienced farmer doe"s not build up his hopes until the period of alternate thawing and freezing is past. The condition of wheat naw may be radically changed before the report is issued as of April firt. But private reports indicate that as a whole the condition is good, If not better than on December 1. Complaints from western Kansas are always due at this season of the year. Oklahoma and Texas have apparently suffered from lack of moisture. From other localities come scattering complaints of freezing, "but as a whole, the crop appears in good condition.

D. Cobb, Agricultural Expert

Live Stock 900 MILLION BUSHELS abandoned acreage will not be. large. Even with a condition on the first of April somewhat lower than that' of last year, the increased acreage would Justify the calculation of a crop of winter wheat equal to the yield of 1914. , - How much will" be sown to spring wheat must depend upon the weather at seeding time. It is to be assumed that the high price will induce farmers to make an extra effort to increase their seeding. In the spring wheat belt this should amount to 20,000,000 acres, and possibly more. A crop cannot be measured before it is even seeded. But If the expected area is sown, and the weather, con-, ditions are at least average, t- the promise would be good for jenough spring wheat to bring the entire crop up to at least 900,000,000 busbels. FARMERS BUY SEED OF LEGUME CROPS FOR EARLY SOWING Unprecedented sales . of cloverseed and seed .of all other : legumes have been reported here this" year. There has also been a marked falling off in the demand for timothy seed, indlcatind that farmers are beginning to realize that clocer is more valuable as hay, both from a feeding, standpoint, and as a beneficial adjunct to soil building. The bulk of legume seeds sold has been red clover, although there has also been a large demand for Big English clover. The demand for alsike has been -.curtailed by the; fact that It. lias-. been very hard for dealers to get seed of good quality. Early -demands for alfal.sed;. indicate that the acreage in Wayne county will he practically, doubled this year. With the exception of the alsike clover seed, prices are no higher than a year ago, and in most cases rule slightly lower. The quality of alfalfa and red cloverseed is unusually good. COUNTY FARM SELLS $2,532 IN PRODUCTS In the first two and one-half months of this year, Superintendent Frank Petro of the poor farm, has sold more of n-o i--nrnfl li r H riri of thfl nnnr' fnrin than has been sold in any previous year. The total amount Of sales has been $2,532.52 since January 1. Cattle sales yesterday amounted to $794.25. "Wheat sold in February brought $1,787.27. Another Bale of $51 had been made in January. It is expected that another $2,500 worth of the products of the poor farm will be disposed of by the close of the year. This money is used towards the support of the farm and decreases the tmount the county is required to spend. The farm now has fifty-four inmates. It is said the Institution will never be self-supporting because few of the inmates are strong enough to work and outside farm help must be employed. Representative Sales At Indianapolis HOGS.
