GRAIN PRICES Furnished by "E. W. WAGNER & CO., 212 Union National Bank Building. CHICAGO, April 16. -Grain shorts are stirred by the emergency tariff, forecast of another April freeze tonight. Illinois to Kansas, talk of corn, oats and provisions too cheap, and signs of British labor peace. Looks as if this third freeze may do a little damage to wheat. Wheat receipts were large today but Chicago thinks May wheat is In a firmer position owing to moderate contract stocks. Over the week end we have to face change in sentiment and buying on small dips. Argentine corn crop is estimated at 234 million with 154 million for export. RANGE OF FUTURES Furnished by E. W. WAGNER & CO., 212 Union National Bank Building. CHICAGO. April 16.

LABOR SPLIT (Continued from Pare One) notifying him that the railroad men and transport workers had withdrawn their support from the miners, Prime Minister Lloyd George wrote: "I am gratified to learn your unions do not propose to resort to an insensate method of attempting to compel the handing down of judgment on the wage question by paralyzing the country's industries and bringing suffering to millions of innocent people Briefs It's Time to Insure DOUGAN-JENFJNS CO.
while the government was urging a saner method of negotiation." Characteristic of editorial comment on the situation is an editorial pub"The bluff was called and it failed," the newspaper declares. "These powerful trades unions must be taught that it is not their business to govern the country." Situation Still Serious In the meantime the stoppage of coal mining continues and it is pointed out in various quarters that the situation is still serious. Announcement is made on behalf of the government that efforts to reach a solution will not be relaxed. King George has loaned from his castle cellars Tlf I?nS, j-C?a-V t Windsor coal merchants for distribution among residents until the supply is again normal. Reports from provincial centers mention the bewilderment and bitter disappointment felt in the extremist sections of the miners, railroad men and transport workers at the failure of the "triple alliance" strike. A conference between the delegates of the miners' federation of Great Britain and representatives from all coal districts in the United Kingdom at which the coal strike situation will be considered, was today fixed for next Friday, April 22.

With the combined emergency tariff and antidumping bill put through, the house was in adjournment today until Monday to permit the selection of minor-! ity committee members, particularly those on the immigration committee, before the immigration restriction bill is reported out. When Representative Mondell, Wyoming, Republican leader, proposed yesterday that the house meet today to receive a report from the immigration committee. Representative Garett, Tennessee, acting Democratic leader, objected be cause the minority members of the ; committee had not been selected, and! asked that the report be delayed, j Agreement then was reached to adjourn until Monday. Passed in the house yesterday by a vote of 269 to 112 only eight Republicans and 15 Democrats breaking measure, the Young emergency tariff j nate with Hepublioun leaders hopeful of Us passage there next week. Action on the measure in the house came at the end of a session enlivened by Democratic protects that the Ke - publicans in standing for passage of the bill precisely in the form put through at the laf-t session were bow - inc to the "dictation of the senate." i The minority criticism followed a flat declaration bv Chairman Fordnev the wavs and means rnmmittpe that the senate would accept no amendments. With the house in adjournment, the senate still had before it today the Colombian treaty, with Republican opponents of ratification planning to fontinue their attack.

The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn
Not being much of an "arithme- men have been allotted 55,000 square ticker," we are going to let you figure ! fst of space, and that the cattle cut the percentages. A year ago May feature has been enlarged greatly, you corn was selling at $1.73 at St. Loui3; 1 will see that miles of space 'a.re needtoday at 54 cents. Does the farmer, j "-d. When Chicago provides the space win or lose? And, If so, which and needed the show will return, but not how much? A sharp pencil? Cer-I sooner, is the verdict of the managetainly, here you are. imnt. The show will be held October As a direct effect of the cut in stetl 8 to 15. the International Harvester folks an-i Well, said the Wayne farmer, my nounce a straight 10 per cent cut on taxes have been increased $600 or so all farm machinery in which steel is i this year, on the same acreage and

The cut in steel can have no cessment was made for 1920. Another possible bearing on the product to be farmer, living in the Hagerstown dissold this year, that being already j trict, said that his tax this year would made up and mostly all shipped. be $."-0 over his 1920 payment, in spite The International made a cut of 10 of the fact that he had sold off most to 15 per cent in March on machines! of his live stock previous to assessmade mostly of wood and iron. Other ment date, and had but little grain or manufacturers will, it is presumed, hay on his farm when the assessor
follow the lead, as was the case with many of them in March. Farm Loan Bonds at Par Forty millions in a new issue of farm loan bonds will be offered the -flt par on MonoIyT April 18 This is the first issue of such bonds since the constitutionality of the tax exemption feature was attacked about! a year ago. On decision of the supreme court, these bonds are made exempt of all federal, state and local taxation. The bonds have a life of 20 years and pay five per cent. Pictures of Corn Trains Moving pictures of two solid train loads of Illinois gift corn were made on arrival in New York. One train load is destined for the Hoover Relief fund, the other for the Polish fund. There are now 70 cars at Wilkesbarre, Pa., and at Geneva, N. Y.. being kilndried and milled. This is also being done at New York. Illinois, which promised 40 cars at the outset, has given about 100 cars, the greatest number of any state. Dairy Show Moves West. The National dairy show is such a whale of an institution that it will be held this year on the Minnesota fair grounds, because no space large enough could be found in Chicago.

A message from Springfield, Illinois, states that hanks are only loaning 50 cents on wheat, 25 cents on corn and 15 cents on oats, according to a Chicago grain man. Little wonder that federal reserve loans to farmers to help them pull through meets popular favor Flour Cheapest In 7 Years. With flour lower than it has been before in seven years, and bran lower than it has been before in ten years, according to Minneapolis reports, the trend of normalcy seems to be speeding up a bit," is the comment of the Indianapolis News. K. C. July Wheat 98 Cents. Wheat for July delivery closed at 98 cents at Kansas City on Friday. The highest price ever reached on wheat at Kansas City was $3.45 per bushel in April. 1917 Julv wheat sold I as low as 97 cents on Fridaq, but vciosea a point nigner. Farm Bureaus Assessed $55,000.

HEAVY LIQUIDATION ON CHICAGO MARKET DRIVES GRAIN DOWN (By Associated Press) CHICAGO. April 16. Liquidation on a big scale by holders of grain and provisions has gone hand in hand this week with disturbing economic ad vices, especially from Great Britain Compared with a week ago, wheat this morning showed a setback ranging from 5 cents to 11 cents a bushel. Heavy receipts of wheat at primary points indicating an enlarged movement from first hands gave special 1m petus to the downwara swing of prices. in connection with the British labor crisis. It was said also that exporters were trying to re-sell, and that Canadian wheat was being rushed into the United States to forestall the proposed emergency tariff. European Factors Ignored. Meanwhile such bullish factors as a serious drought in Roumania, Hungary and the Balkans were almost completely ignored. Misgivings which were expressed that freezing temperatures had injured the domestic crop failed likewise to attract much notice. It was only after values had fallen to the lowe6t level since 1912 that liquidation gave evidence of having largely spent its force. Later the market was ral lied somewhat by word that railroad men and transport workers in Great Britain would remain at their posts. Corn and oats showed rather stubborn resistance to selling pressure but finally receded with wheat. Lower quotations on hogs and grain had a depressing effect on provisions. NEW YORK, April 16 The stock ! market was dull and increasingly rej actionary during the greater pan of J me ween, out. rames vigorously iaier on cancellation or the British Industrial crisis and indications of relaxed money rates. Of these factors the domestic railway situation was the most important from the viewpoint of speculative interests. Signs of easier monetary conditions arose from the reduc.ion of rediscount rates by the Boston branch of the federal reserve bank. More Order Indicated. There was cumulative evidence of more orderly domestic industrial con ditions in the price reductions announced by the Lnited States stee'l corporation and several of the.inde Dendent producers. General trade conditions were featured by an increasing demand for textiles and leathers and .. better seasonal conditions in vanou . lines of merchandise or finished staples. The coming week, it is believed, will witness further announcements ot price re-adjustmcnts. To what extent such a course will affect wages remains a moot question but advices from western and southwestern centers indicate lower schedules, particularly for unskilled labor. European remittances were not much disturbed by the delay in the German reparations program, several of the continental rates evincing marked firmness. Conditions in Cuba and South America were more acute, hovever, as shown by the demoralized exchange situation. All Varieties of Vegetable Plants OMER G.
