The

Saturday's performance by climbing

red wheat, the cheapest trade, now quoted
above the 2 mark Five thousand bushels
of April bluestem were sold at $2.15. an ad
vance of 9 cents over Saturday's best, offer.
In the country wheat was picked up wher
ever It was orfered, but farmers were very
low sellers. One lot of bluestem was taken
to go Bast at a price equal to $2.21 If de
livered at the Coast.
The demand for wheat was urgent from
all directions. Eastern buyers would soon
clean up this section If cars were to be
had to move the grain. As It Is. the main
buying Is by millers here and In California.
Oats took another Jump with buyers at
the Exchange offering J4D to $49.75 for the
Various deliveries, while In the open market

flour quotations. If the wheat advance
holds good today, the flour list will, proba
bly be raised. Mlllfeed was unchanged from
fiaturday.
The Liverpool grain cable said:
"Wheat dull but steady. Btrong Ameri
can cables affect sentiment, but world's
shipments to United Kingdom fairly liberal
and military advices favorable. Corn strong,
good demand for spot, and light arrivals.
Argentine advices unfavorable: American
holders strong. Oats dull; consumption
lighter and arrivals fair; American holdings
liberal and shipments Increasing."

CALIFORNIA IN NEED OF OREGON HAY
Cto) ks In Willamette Valley Will
tlrely Cleaned I' p.
Be Fa-
"Hay farmers In the Willamette Valley
have been unusually fortunate this season,
aid R. P. Knight yesterday. "Their crop
was damaged in quality by rain last Sum
xner, but In spite of this they are getting rid
of all of It, and at extremely high prices.
California dealers have been buying hay
freely here, and up to date 1000 tons of
grain hay have been shipped south. We are
sending Valley hay as far east as Salt Lake,
and are making large shipments to Southern
Idaho and Eastern Oregon. Klamath Falls
is also taking Valley hay. Stocks will be
entirely cleaned up by the time the new crop
comes on the market. It will be the first
time In many years this has happened In
Oregon."
Commenting on the hay movement at San
Francisco, Scott, Wagner A Miller say in
their weekly trade circular:
Receipts of hay for the past week were
1580 tons and the preceding week 1711 tons.
The percentage of California hay in the
above receipts has been very smalL Most
of the arrivals have come from Oregon
and Washington, where purchases were made
by Ban Francisco dealers for Immediate
shipment, a few weeks back. This bay has
been loaded and shipment rushed In large
quantities In order to clean up these pur
chases as soon as possible, hence the heavy
arrivals.
"This outside hay consisted mostly of
cheat, vetch, clover and oat and some straight
oat, together with some straight wheat, the
latter coming from Washington.
Consumers In this market are not ao-
eustoraed to this kind of hay, with the re
sult that It must be sold at lower figures
than our California product In order to In
duce feeders to accept It. although it Is In
fact excellent feed.
"The receipts of such small amounts of
California bay Indicate how little there la
of stocks on hand in the hay districts of
this state.
"All grades of hay are held very firm and
the California production has advanced ma
terially.
"The showers of the past week, although
very light, have been of great benefit to
growing crops in all localities that were
reached; although we are sorry to note
that south of this city the rains did not
extend In .very heavy volume.
"Cutting of first-crop alfalfa will start In
several sections shortly so that probably
some of this can be looked for ln the next
monin or six weetta
"It Is generally 'conceded that there will
be practically no volunteer crop of hay this
aeason and as that Is the first hay to ar
rive other than first cutting alfalfa, the
latter will have to be used In place of the
volunteer, and sown crops will be late owing
to the short and backward growth up to
this time.

Honda Are Irregrular.
NEW YORK, April 18. Wall street
seemed to arrive at a more complete re
alization of the war situation today, de
velopments since last Saturday's session con
tributing largely to that end. The Presi
dent's latest appeal to the Nation, advis
ing unity and economy, further considera
tion of war tax problems and an exten
sion by. the British government of Its con
trol over shipping, with Indications of sim
ilar measures by the home Government,
were responsible for a resumption of last
week's liquidation and an increase of short
selling.
Shippings, as a group, were more seri
ously affected than any other issues. Ma
rine preferred dropping 9H points on steady
otlerlngs to 77 Ms. the common losing 8

down 1 to 8 -points, and utilities supple
mented last week's reversals. People's Gas
losing 8-H points, with about 2 each for
Consolidated Gas, Brooklyn Rapid Transit
and Twin City Rapid Transit.
Trading in rails was relatively small, but
Investment ss well as the low-priced Is
sues followed the general trend at extreme
recessions of 1 to 2 points. There were
occasional feeble rallies, but final prices
almost without, exception were at lowest
levels.
Total sales amounted to 8S0.000 shares.
General news touching upon financial con
ditions was favorable In the main, time
money shading a trifle. In spite of last Sat
urday's large cash loss by the local banks.
Advices from the West reported satis
factory business In virtually all lines of
trade with a 5 to 10 per cent increase In
tonnage by the railroads.
Dealings In foreign exchange were
negligible, with only nominal changes In
rates to continental points.
Railroad bonds manifested greater Irreg

Captain Circle, of the Police Bureau
was driven to Front and Flanders

to get to the same location.
One of the fugitives was seen run

Russell and Captain Circle took the
young fellow to police headquarters to
find that he was a atudent or the Cor-

old clothes they discovered he wore
regulation Army clothing. His name
was given as Al Johnson.
Corporal Daly, of Company B, and
Special Agent W. R. McDonald, caught
three of the others and they told the

were trying to "beat" their way back
