CROP SCARE DISCREDITED Jerual of Foreigners to Take Alarm and TTncertalnty as to Chicago's Course Today Iieao liocal aiarket Unsettled. . t'he English wheat market failed to re spond to the sensational performance of tho Chicago board, -where -wheat prices were forced up nearly 5 cents on Monday. This was shown by the course of prices at "Winnipeg yesterday, the decline In that market beinj explained by tno withdrawal f export bids. This refusal by foreigners to be affected y disastrous crop rumors from America, together with the uncertainty as to what Chicago will do today after her holiday. leaves thft wheat market guessers here up In the air. Consequently, they would not bo inclined to operate in the country even If farmers -were willing to listen to terms. The April bids posted at the Merchants" Exchange ranjred from 1 cent lower to 1 tmt higher than Monday'!, while th April offers -were raised 1 to 2 cents. The only buyers in the market yesterday ero those who had pot In touch with Kastern millers, and such orders were lim ited. There was no local or California ln niiiry. , Tbe opinion prevailed amon; traders that there would be a slight reaction at Chicago t the openins today, but the foreign mar lits are not expected to act either way. :rain. men hero havo no doubt that there is a strong basis for the unfavorable crop reports .coming- out of the Winter wheat states, but it will take more than one crop scare to frighten the buyers on the other side of the Atlantic. The English buyers figure that even If the United States does not produce a surplus this year the carry-over from last year -will be sufficient, together with tho excess from Argentina, Australia and other exporting countries, to provide for all import requirements. At tho same time, while the Europeans arc not responsive to- the market upturns on this si'le. Great Britain still relies on North America as her standby for grain shipments. In spite of the competition from Argentina and Australia. A letter from a Tiverpool house says: "The Eastern political situation Is rapidly improIng. but we cannot believe that there Is any possibility of the reopening of the Kardanelles until the war is over. The trade here has been bearish on expected 1'in-er freights, and there has been consid erable short selling. "We think that all the wheat that it Is physically possible to move over here will be wanted for con sumption and reserves. Our port stocks are now only 12.000,000 bUBhels, which is ridiculously small under tbe circumstances. We regard It as a fact that North America must continue to be the most reliable and mOHt Important source of supply for Europe long as tho war lasts." Bradstreets estimates the visible wheat decrease at 670. 000 bushels, the corn de crease at 744,000 bushels and the oats de crease at 1.878.000 ushels. Clearances from New York were 51S.0OO bushels of wheat, 27.000 bushels of corn and 41M.000 bushels of oats. Broomhail summarizes foreign crop con ditions as follows: T-'nlted Kingdom "Weather continues un favorable for seeding, being cold and wet, and this is delayed. "Arrivals of wheat are Hhoral,-stocks Increasing and native offer liberal. France Weather Is favorable and the out look for Winter crops is favorable and Ppring sowing is progressing actively. Re serves are moderate and arrivals Bmaller. Germany Weather and crop advices are generally favorable. Russia Officials still cluim that the out look for winter wheat is generally favorable, even where snow is lacking. Our various agents do not confirm this. Italy Weather is favorable and crops Tnaking good progress. The general out look is understood to be fair. Houmaniit Crop outlook excellent, with increased acreage and plenty of snow pro tection. Moisture good. Argentina Weather favors the movement. Wheat offers "arc generally held above the market. Australia There are no offerings at pres ent prices and chartering: is very slow. India Weather favors the movement and late harvesting. Offers are fair. Terminal receipts. In cars, were reported by the Merchants' Exchange as follows: Wheat. Bar. nr. Oats. Hay. rnrt;and.

Tn commenting on the advance in sugar prices, in the face of a largely increased sup ply in Cuba, Renskorf, Lyon & Co., of New York, say in their news bulletin: "With sugar being marked up to famine prices In this country, it is piling up in Cuba. The counted stock of the island is nun. 320 tons, or about 200,000 tons more than the stock this time last year, and much sugar is being held on the plantations. The production of the island for the sea son thus far is 1,664.748 tons, against 1,221. 715 tons to this date last year. The yield of Cuba this year will be by far the great est ever known, and the Cuban railroads are not 'sufficient to move the sugar from the plantations to the ports. 'There are two reasons for the high price of sugar in this country in the face of the large amount of sugar in Cuba. One is the demand from Europe, and the other is the scarcity of ships to get the sugar to this country. There has been a great deal of market manipulation by strong Interests con trolling a very large Vart of the Cuban pro duction, however, and this manipulation has had much to do with marking up prices. "Exports to France and England are e ing to be cut very materially, and reports w hich are being circulated to the effect that Great Britain and France want practically all the Cuban production must be taken with A grain of salt. The war has rolled money into tho pockets of sugar producers and bulled everything connected with that indus try. Tbe boomers have not been slow in tak ing advantage of the situation, and the sugar industry is being exploited to the limit. Those who are interested say that no crash can come as long as the war'con tinuos.'" MORE FLORIX STRAWBERRIES HERE I'intt Car of Texas Bermuda Onions "Will Arrive Today. Another shipment of Florin strawberries was received yesterday and. cold at $4.75 to $5 a crate. Louisiana berries are due today. There was full supply of asparagus on the street and it sold well at steady prices. Walia Walla spinach is again coming on the market and brings Ocents to $1 a box. The first car ot yellow Bermuda onions from Texas Is due this morning. They will sell at $2.50 per crate. Calcutta Burlap Market Easier. An " easing up of the Calcutta burlap market is reported in Eastern advices, which say: "Burlap pricea have receded on the Cal cutta market to the extent ot about one shilling a hundred yards for April-June, Both lightweights and heavyweights for prompt shipment were reported to b easier also. According to quotations re ceived by some importers, 8-ounce- 40s foi prompt shipment could be landed' at 750 a yard. Exports from Calcutta to East Coast ports of the United States during April are expected to be small on account of the scarcity of unchartered steamers. DEMAND IOB EGGS IS ACTIVE Large Local Receipts Are Easily Taken Care Of. - The egg market was steady to firm yes terday at prices unehanged from Monday. The demand was sufficient to take care of all arrivals. Poultry arrivals were not heavy, but were large enough in view of the present high prices. More veal came in than could b( worked off, but tho marlfct was steady Pork was strong and unchanged. - The butter market is reported easier, but the old prices prevail.

The local fruit union baa less than 20 pounds of broccoli seed on hand, and orders for more seed have been re turned without being filled. The seed, which sold for SI a pound two weeks ago is now being held at $1.25, and cannot be secured at that price. (leneroun IIosteMM. Youth's Companion.

GAINS ARE HOT HELD Speculators Refuse to Follow Early Rise in Stocks. OUTSIDE INTEREST LACKING Dny's Fluctuations Duo to Pool Manipulation Washington Itu- mora Cause Heavy Tone In Last Hour Bonds Are Irregular. NEW YORK, April 4. It may be safely asserted that the operations of pools and cliques were BOlely responsible for such changes as occurred in today's professional market. Prices were mostly higher in the active forenoon, but yielded generally In the dull dealings of the later session for no other reason, presumably, than that specu lators refused to follow the rise. Thla Is only another way of stating that trading lacked the Incentive of propelling force of public or outside Interest. The most extreme gains of tho morning were confined to a half dozen mixed issues such as Willys-Overland, studebakcr and Chandler among the motors, those stocks rising 4 to 6 points; Mercantile Marine com mon and preferred, the former advancing almost o points on the largest output in many weeks; Texas Company, which rose 4, and Jewel Tea issues, both of the latter breaking into new ground, the common rising 0 to 05 ;i and the preferred S'A to 113. There Also were temporary ga'ns of 1 to 2 points In copper and inc shares, a half score of industrials and equipment and somo of tho fertilisers and tobaccos, while rails like the New Haven and Delaware Hud son improved their position by a point or more. Sugar shares, among the recent spectacu lar features, were consistently weak, Cuban American losing 20 to and South Porto Rico 10 to 206. Tho list In general was heaviest in the last hour, when rumors purporting to give an outline of Washington's view of tho interna tional situation provoked declines of 1 to points, munitions being the principal losers. Crucible Steel, American Locomotive and 1'nited States Industrial Alcohol were most susceptible to pressure and contributed more than any other Issues to the irregular close, albeit final prices were variably above low est levels. Total sales amounted to 595.000 shsres. General news bearing upon the market was again of a favorable character. Includ lng additional splendid railroad earnings and increased steel orders. Bonds were Irregular, with moderate re action in Anclo-Erench 5s, which declined to 05&i. Total sales, par vlue. amounted to $4,010,000. Ignited States bonds were un changed on call.

WASHINGTON, April 4. Wheat of the "915 crop unfit for milting ts estimated at 14ti.000.000 buBheis, according to tho re sults of an inquiry made by tho Department of Agriculture from flour mills and grain elevators. Tho replies -were so variable as to make accurate deductions impossible and any es timate debatable without considerable quali fication. Of these replies, the average worked ont 14.4 per cent as the wheat un fit for milling and 7.3 per cent, or 74,000,000 bushels, as feed for livestock. ' "Much wheat was used this season for mtlllnf? which ordinarily would not be re garded as fit to mill," says a report of the bureau of crop estimates. "ilodern ma chinery enabled those who had such equip ment to make millable much wheat which small millers, laektni? such facilities, could not use. Much whf at not good enough for local miners was shipped out. apparently finding a ready demand at terminal points and abroad. Different ways of regardlna such wheat accounts largely for the wldB variation of estimates "Wheat usually fed to livestock has not been regarded by the frrain trade to be of material proportions not mor than 2 pet. cent of the crop.'

The order signed specifically removes the quarantine from a small ter ritory in Christian County, Illinois, the last area which was under suspicion. Along with the removal of t his local quarantine, the -arlous Fed-eral orders restricting ship ment of cattle are rescinded, so that dealers can now ship their cattle as before the first quarantine was Imposed. t'pon notification that the United Statos is free from the disease, all foreign govern ment which have placed embargoes on American cattle are expected to remove these embargoes, so that rattle-raisers will then be able to resume shipments to these foreign countries.
