Greater Activity Dnrinr Week Result of
Improved War Outlook
NEW YORK, April 20- The widespread
recovery and greater activity of this week's
market for securities was obviously the
result of the improved war outlook. The
more satisfactory understanding between
the Government and the country's financial
and Industrial Interests was another im
portant factor.
Public participation, the first la -several
weeks, was seen tn the steady advance of
certain market leaders, united states btoei
asserting: Its usual leadership at the highest
level slnoo the move on the western front
assumed serious proportions.
Other equipments and the more distinc
tive war stocks shared In the advance.
Ralls alone failed to make more than
moderate upward progress.
Foreign exchange, except for rates on
Spain, which sold at a new high premium
with subsequent reaction, was steady.
Excess Reserves Ars Decreased.
NEW TORK, April 20. The actual con
dition of clearing-house banks and trust
companies for the week shows that they
hold $41,672,620 reserve In excess of lgal
reouirements. This is a decrease of S24.-
393,670 from last week.
PRICES ARE AGAIN FIRM

With Sprlns; Work On, Shipments to
Distributing; Points Are Fall
Ins Off.
The first hopeful tons of many weeks Is
noticeable in the potato market of the past
few days. Stocks seem to ba - clearing up
In most of the lsrgs consuming centers, and
demand and movement ars reported brisk
from Minneapolis to New Orleans. This
spurt has been expected by many of the
deslers snd is only a reflection of the con
ditions that bars obtained the past month.
In this section there hss been no distinct
rise because of the remoteness from market
It takes about three weeks for a local deal
er to get his money out oi potatoes bought
for ths New Orleans market, for Instance,
snd so many of them suffered so much tn
the recent slump there that they are not In
ths market for orders except for confirmed
sale. The local price Is 70 to 78 cents strong
tor sacked B urban ks.
In Idaho ths pries was ss low ss 80 cents,
but Is now averaging 60 cents per cwt. for
Rural, and Russetts. In Colorado a similar
advance is noted, with mixed whites going at
65 ta 75 cents. Ths rise In price in Wiscon
sin is less marked, as the Jump is only
from 85 cents to 90 cents. In Michigan the
producers ara receiving 65 to 85 cents, track
side. Instead of 50 to 75 cents as a week ago.
Ths prices In Maine seem firm at 81.21.
In his weekly summary of the potato mar
ket Robert L. Ringer, in charge of the Port
land office of the Bureau of Markets, says:
"Spring work Is In full tilt all over the
land. - Great acreages of all kinds are being
put in and the farmer finds himself too
busy to sort and haul 80-cent potatoes, with
ths result that offerings have decreased
very materially all over the country. The
actual stocks In storage ara much decimated,
too, at this time. Locally the dealers are
finding It much harder to get a car of first
class potatoes together. Tha poor keeping
quality of last year's crop has caused heavy
shrinkage in storage. If the present season
s era as backward as a year ago there might
be a chance for a sharp recovery in prices.
"New potstoes are moving to the markets
In large quantities this year, much ahead of
a. year ago. Florida shipments srs around
5 cars a day now. Texas Is contributing In
a small way, but will increase right along.
The Bermuda Islands ars landing stuff is
New Vork by the shipload and In such quan
tities that they are being repacked and have
come as far West as Denver. Ths prices for
new stock ara coming down, too, so that
In ths Eastern markets It will soon offer
