ocai GRAIN QUOTATIONS E. W. WAGNER & CO.'S REVIEW CHICAGO. March 4. Much of the early corn purchase of today may be covering of shorts who have been confident of hog price cancellation and a break. Chicago corn and oats receipts are a trifle at 50 cars of corn and 35 cats. Corn belt is muddy. Kansas and southern Illinois seed oats around March 10. central west March 25. Time is at hand. Chicago holds 900,000 corn; the question is at what price does May corn discount these record prices and spring conditions. The March Reserve Report is due March 7 at 1:15 p. m., Chicago time. Trade in corn has been veiy large with one house credited as being a very large buyer. New York strike news is bearish but has been ignored. .Bartlett houso reports huge provision stocks around New York that cannot be exported. Consumers are backing away from high priced corn bought long ago. 'Many locals are very conservative on this bulge. Washington wires no time set for hog price announcement.

Provisions of Bill as Presented to House Will Probably be Restored. INDIANAPOLIS. March 4. Indications were that when the senate considers the tax reform bill as a committee of the whole this afternoon it will restore in somewhat modified form practically all of the provisions of the bill as it was introduced ia the house at the beginning of the session. The amendments to the house bill which will be presented to the senate will include the following: 1. Restoration of true cash value as the basis of assessment. The houso amended the bill to provide for assessment on a basis of ,50 per cent of true cash value. 2. Appraisement of intangible property on the basis of its income-producing value. 3. Providing that no assessments for omitted property shall be made or added for any year prior to Jan. 1, 1919, thereby restoring the immunity feature for the dodgers. 4. Restoration of Sec. 197, provid ing that tax rate shall be fixed to produce a revenue not exceeding that of the preceding year, with an amendment to be added by the senate, that if higher revenues are desired the levy may be increased, -without appeal to the state board, to a rate not to exceed 1 per cent. , Restore Board's Power. 5. Restoration of the privilege of appeal to the state board for increases in tax levy beyond the rates prescribed in the law. 6.

"It is highly regretable that the Belgian press has taken a hostile attitude toward Holland. I cannot believe this attitude interprets the feelings of a million Belgians who found refuge on Dutch soil in 1914," said Dr. John Louden today, on being questioned as to possible friction between Belgium and Holland. Df. Louden, who was formerly Dutch minister at Washington, and was foreign minister of Holland during the war, is in Paris for a brief sojourn. In discussing the situation, he said that comment in the Belgian press as to Holland's neutrality during the struggle was misleading, pointing out that the orange books published by the Dutch government would prove the real facts.

Texas. March 4. Salaman Lerma, 15 years old, the "Little Soldier Man" of the Twentysixth Infantry, is dead. After three years service he died of pneumonia in the trenches of France, and was buried at Gondecourt with military honors. His home town, San Benito, has been asked to place a gold star in its service flag. "He was not an enlisted man, for one cannot enlist at fifteen," wrote Samuel Robertson, Lieutenant Colonel of Engineers in France, in telling of his death. "But he had been mascot of E company, Twenty-sixth infantry, from September, 1915, until death. "No braver spirit ever served in the United States army. He has no relatons and most tot his old company have been killed or wounded. In late November when I saw them there were only three men left who were in the company at San Benito." Jjalaman, a homeless lad of twelve years, was adopted at San Benito by the Twenty-sixth, then patrolling the Mexican border. Adventure awaited just over the threshold, and he met the test with a courage that brought instant distinction. With Robertson, then a civilian, he was driving through a lonely stretch of country twelve miles from San Benito. A band of Mexicans sudden ly appeared from a patch of brush and surrounded the automobile. In an instant firing became general and a rain of bullets clattered against the car, which continued plunging forward with Robertson and the lad returning the fire. Robertson's hat was shot from his head, The boy escaped unhurt. URGES ACTION AGAINST WAR WASHINGTON, March 4.

BRAZILIAN TOBACCO DOES NOT AFFECT

That the market for domestic tobacco has not been affected by the ' shipment of Brazilian tobacco to Eik "' rope is the substance of a letter re- , ceived from the department of agriculture" by Harry V. Ro3S, editor of. v the Janesvllle (Wis.) Gazette... i.The. letter was in response to a telegram sent by the Gazette asking, whether " there was any foundation for the published report that the reason for lower r tobacco prices in that community wa that Brazil had dumped a quantity of tobacco on the market. In sending the answer to the Daily News editor Ross in a letter said that he was doing so at the request of local tobacco growers who felt that it would be of equal interest to the growers in the Miami valley. The letter from the department of agriculture follows: ' "Your telegram was duly received and I note your statement that tobacco buyers in your district, where there are about 2,000 tobacco growers, claim ; that because Brazil has placed upon foreign markets its tobacco crops which have been accumulating for four years, the demand for Wisconsin , tobacco has decreased to such an extent that buyers refused to buy from " the growers. I note also your statement that the price in the Wisconsin district referred to has dropped from ; around 30 cents a pound to 20 centa a pound and that the buyers claim the price will be lower. , "You ask whether there is any foun-, dation for the statement that the Brazilian crop has had an effect upon the United States market. - - The department has no information " to indicate that the shipment to Eu-J, rope of accumulated stocks of Brazilian tobacco tias had an unfavorable effect on the market for domestic cigar leaf. The annual prewar exports of tobacco from Brazil have averaged about sixty million pounds,the great bulk of which went to Germany. As is well known normally our domestic cigar leaf is practically all -used in domestic manufacture, although during the war period, considerable quantities of cigar tobacco, especially the lower grades, have been exported. On the other hand, our leading export types of tobacco are selling at very high prices and obviously , export demands, present or prospective, are the leading factor in the high prices, at least in the case of the firecured types. Should the existing high price for the export types continue it would not be surprising if considerable quantities of cigar leaf should be diverted to export purposes. In fact, ;, it is understood that current reports indicate that such a movemen is already under way. In brief, it does not appear probable that exports of Brazil : tobacco to Europe could depress the market prices or our cigar leaf which is distinctly a domestic manufacturing type while the prices of our distinctive export types are, thus far, constantly advancing.
