WHEAT IS STEADIER
All Domestic Markets Are on
Better Basis.
CROP CONDITION IS FACTOR
Activity In orthwest Depends on
Demand From Eastern Millers.
Submarine Campaisn May
- Be Influence.
Vh wheat markets were firmer n all
quarters yesterday. Local prices averaged
about 1 cent higher in response to the up
turn at Chicago, which was due to bad crop
reports.
The Coast markets are dull with tittle
prospect of reviving, and the only oppor
tunity for activity in the future will come
with a resumption of liberal buying by the
East. There is inquiry now from Eastern
quarters, but only fife and Turkey red In
terest the millers of that section. On club
and other white wheats, sellers can do as
well or better here. The Eastern buyers also
insist on prompt shipment.
Grain men are speculating as to what
effect the vigorous submarine campaign of
Germany will have on the wheat markets
In this country. Yesterday's toll alone by
the German under-sea craft amounted to
fully 60,000 tons of carrying capacity. Tf
Jt. continues at this rate much longer it
will virtually equal a blockade of Great
Britain, and a stoppage of exports will of
course depress the American markets.
Europe requires wheat in a continuous
movement, and if the traffic Is not inter
rupted can take care of all the grain
shipped from this side, according to Broom
hall, who says in his international weekl
review :
"It is fairly certain that quantities avail
able for immediate consumption are not
excessive, and the Continent continues to
take the bulk of Argentine and Australian
order cargoes and it is believed that our
merchants and millers must continue to
purchase steadily to keep abreast nf the
situation. A good authority here confirms
that most of the losses to the tonnage by
submarines has been replaced by new ton
nage It Is expected that the market, in the
immediate future, will be greatly affected
by American crop advices, but former rec
ords show that the condition in May 11
usually above that of April. European crop
news is generally hopeful, but personally I
believe that there cannot be largo crop3,
with so many millions of workers withdrawn
from agricultural pursuits. There is a bet
ter inquiry for Argentine freights, from Brit
ish merchants, and rates are hardening."
Crop conditions In the war zone are given
by Broomhall as follows:
France Crop prospects on the areas seed
ed are generally thought to be favorable.
Weather improved. Reserve are very mod.
erate, consumption large, and foreign ar
rivals moderate. It is believed that pur
chases will of a -necessity commence shortly.
Germany Weather less favorable, with
freezing. Less complaint is heard regard,
ing shortage of supplies.
Russia Weather milder, following recent
moderate freezing. Crops generally prom
ise well as reported by officials, but vari
ous agents do not confirm this and believe
the crop will be materially short of even
last year. Spring sowing in southern dis
tricts progressing. Navigation at the por
of Archangel is expected to open by the
middle of April.
Balkan Indications point to a large yield.
General outlook favorable.
Austria-Hungary Outlook for Winter
crops is poor. Acreage short and seed poor,
with weather against best developments.
Shortage is reported of necessary reserves of
grain.
Terminal receipts, in cars, were reported
by the Merchants" Exchange as follows:
Wheat. Barley. Flour. Oats. Hay.

Lt.ti SEASON" XOlT AT ITS FLUSH
Large Receipts Are Readily Absorbed and
Market Is Steady.
The egg market season Is now at its
flush, in. the opinion of the leading local
handlers. The demand is so good4 how
ever, that the large receipts are readily
absorbed at steady prices. Not only are
local speculators storing, but there is a
continued demand for eggs for Bhipment
north. Case count prices on the street
were 1V4 to 20 cents.
Poultry arlvals were fairly large, but the
market was firm. Dressed meats were
steady.
There was no change in the butter mar
ket, which was quoted firm.
Good Demand for Vegetables.
There was a good demand for vegetables
of all kinds yesterday, and the supply on the
street was ample. Canby rhubarb was again
received and sold at 5 cents a pound. A
shipment of spinach arrived from California
and was quoted at 6 cents a pound. Aspar
agus was steady and unchanged.
Strawberries were scarce, but there will
be a plentiful supply on hand today.

Arc Strong;.
NEW "YORK, April 10. Stocks were
stirred into a semblance of strength and
animation today, mainly in consequence of
the absence of disturbing developments
over the week-end. Advice3 from Berlin
regarding the Sussex Incident, were accepted
as making for further delay in the settle
ment of the delicate negotiations now
pending.
News touching on the market was largely
of a favorable character, embracing the an
nual statements of the Utah and Chi no
Copper companies, which disclosed enor
mous increase of earnings over 1914, with
a similar exhibit by some of the smaller
shipping companies. There also was the
March report of the United States Steel
Corporation, showing Increases in tfte un
filled orders of 7G2.033 tons and bringing
the total business on the corporation's
books up to record figures of S.3J1.001 tons.
Chicago also reported a 20 per cent gain
In railroad tonnage over this period last
y-sar.
The other side of the account, however,
included such adverse factors as another
break in French exchange to 6.03, which
duplicated the low quotation of last year,
and many preceding years, together with
extensive selling of Anglo-French bonds at
substantial concessions. There were indica
tions, also, of an indefinite continuance of
the long existing differences among the
various interests represented in the pro
posed reorganization of the International
Mercantile Marine Company.
Marino shares led the list from start to
finish, the common gaining 2 points to 20
and the preferred 2 to 764. with a gala
of li for United Fruit. Coppers were
favorably influenced by trade conditions and
Zinc Issues made further progress, Amer
ican Zinc rising 2H to the new maximum of
973. UnJt4 6utM amalt iug also eLfc-
Ilshed a- new high quotation on its rice of
3 to 75c.
Mexican shares, as represented by. Amer
ican Smelting and the petroleums, were ma
terially better, and the war group, together
with motors and United States Industrial
Alcohol, rose 1 to 3 points, with 8 for
Willys-Overland at 238. Bethlehem Steel
fell sharply at one time, but made com
plete recovery at the firm close. Total
sales of stocks amounted to 458,000 shares.
Bonds were irregular, the Anglo-French
5s falling to 95 U on offerings of several
large blocks. Total sales of bonds, par
value, were $3,670,000. United States bonds
were unchanged on call.

CROP REPORTS BAD
Chicago Market Lifted by
News From Middle West-
HESSIAN FLY IN KANSAS
Green Bugs Are Reported In Okla
homa rields--Contlnned Demand
From Continental European
Countries Is Predicted.
CHICAGO, 'April 10. Bad crop reports,
including special mention of Hessian fly in
Kansas and green bugs in 'Oklahoma, had
much to do today with a material advance
In the price of wheat. The market closed
unsettled, but c to 1 c net higher, with
May at i 171.174 and July at $1.13 H
cil.lSU. Corn finished ",4o to lie up, oats
14 lie off to a shade advance, and pro
visions varying from 5c decline to a rise
of 714c.
Unusual strength in the May delivery of
wheat here, as compared with other op
tions, was accounted for as due to buying
of May to remove hedves against sales of
Canadian wheat to Buffalo mills. In a late
reaction, caused by realizing on the part of
holders. May fell back only about half as
much aa July. There were predictions of
continued demand from Continental Euro
pean countries, where reserves were said to
be light and where hopes of prompt ship
ments from Argentina and Australia have
been disappointing. The market was also
bulllshly affected by statements that the
records of the last 25 years indicate the
chance after April 1 for a substantial Im
provement in the Winter crop Is very slight.
Corn hardened a little as a result of the
bulge In wheat.
oats, like corn, were steadied by wheat.

FACTS
It is penerally recognized
that communities can no
longer follow the short
siprhted policy of building
hiphways without consid
eration of the problem of
maintenance. It is not so
much what a hiprhway costs
today as what it will cost
in the aggrrepate in ten or
twenty years: The basic
proposition upon which our
road building and mainte
nance must rest is the
amount of money expended
for the service the road
renders. For service i n
wearing and minimum cost
in upkeep roads should be
hard-surfaced with
