CHICAGO, April 10-ff)-DlYer-gent

dealings today, with price ad
vances the rale relative to May
delivery contracts, -whereas the
Talne of new crop delirerles de
clined. Scarcity of offerings character
Ixed May wheat transactions, and
led . at times to upturns of 2
cent a bushel. On the other hand,
July and September, which stand
for wheat yet to be harvested,
fell in some cases 1 14 cents.
May Buying: Heavy
A rush of buying on the part
of traders who are short of wheat
to fulfill requirements next month
accompanied the rise of May
quotations. Meanwhile, Increased
selling pressure developed when
ever July and September wheat
scored gains. Beneficial moisture
in sections of domestic winter
crop territory southwest and in
spring wheat areas northwest was
largely responsible for this in
creased selling.
At the close. Chicago wheat
futures were lower to 1

finish. May $1.34 74-1.35, July

buying of wheat for Germany and
Italy had ceased, although expect

Corn, rye and oats averaged
higher with wheat. As was the
case with wheat. May delivery of
corn displayed relative bouyancy.
It was strongly emphasized that
the stock of corn in public elevat

Provisions responded to hos
market downturns.
RICH CARGOES
CHAPTER I
fTTO Sandy Crewe tha most cx-
iraorainarv iscx atout ma
JL recent lar&re fortune was tba
casw with which hm had mad it,
passed in on measured step with no
changa of stride from the grind of
under-paid effort into the pluto
crat class. Such chant;) of estate
is not so rare, but Sandy found
himself also in the quality of pub
Lie benefactor.
A pretty dinner partner had
said to him: "Since yotrre a creative
. chemist with visions of lifting- hu
manity from toil, why don't you
find at process to put silk stockings
in easy ranre of every woman's
furse, instead of their being- a cost
y necessity, like coal T" And partly
by accident! partly by a synthetic
mixture of hard earned knowledge,
pore thought and a dash of inspira
tion, Sandy had practically done
that thing. It bad come as easily as
the accidental mixing on the stove
top ef sulphur and balata to make
commercial rubber. He had cut the
cost ef what every woman wants by
fifty percent, not of course by mak
ing silk cheaper, but by the discov
ery of a process that gave that tex
tile twice the durability, and this
amounted to the aame thing.
Being a commercial chemist with
the business part of his brain nice
ly balancing the scientific, Sandy
had collected his full share. He was
. thirty-four and he reasoned wisely
that aa up to this time he had been
a laboratory drudge and the nexti
twenty years of his life ought to
' be the best, the act of a wise man
' would be to fill them with as much
rood as possible. On the breezy
deck of a liner from Yokohama to
San Francisco he expressed this
ambition to a fellow passenger with
whom he had made acquaintance
the first day out.
"Get a yacht," said this gentle
man with prompt decision, as an
other mieht have advised: "Get a
wife." "With a snug little vessel,
say an auxiliary schooner rig,
you've got the key to the wide world.
It lies just over the horizon."
- This shipboard friend waa a
Colonel Carlton, a majestic person
age to whom one would reluctantly
have ceded 75 years, with the an
notation that he. was remarkably
upstanding for that age. The
Colonel told Sandy casually that tha
best part of his active life had been
spent in the Far East, Indo China
principally, where he had function
ed aa a mining engineer, expert
mineralogist, promoter of mining
groperties, a sort of liaison officer
t big- commercial deals. It would
appear from casual references that
he had prospered greatly in these
wide fields and was now returning:
' from a final tour of liquidation
. of his Interests and general tying of
' odd ends to retire permanently
from field and office work. He de
sired, the Colonel said, to spend his
remaining years in a tranquil con
templation that should yet possess
all the accessories of dignity and
, comfort, and with this end in view
; he had .two years previously pur
chased an island , in the Bahamas
where he planned to live the greater
. part of every year.
."There is a zone three thousand
miles wide, between . 25 degrees
North and 25 dejTees South Lati
tude, II r. Crewe," said the ColoneL
This might be called the Old Age
Belt, and no person past sixty who
can manage ought to get out of it
between spring and fail."
"You appear to be a strong re
commendation for the tropics at all
ages,' Colonel," Sandy said.
- 1 never drank, have always

ments during the past few days
have averaged close to that figure.
According to a report-released
by the California Crop Reporting
board the onion acreage in tne
Coachella valley has made good
growth during the past month and
the crop is sizing up well. A few
days of hot weather will mature
soma of the early Blastings by the
first of May. There are jibout 1,
000 acrea of Crystal Wax' and Tel
low Bermuda oniona In Kent coun
ty, but due to wet weather the
acreage was late getting Into the
ground. No thrlp or disease nas
been reported."
Cherry Damage
Reports Lacking
The cherry crop suffered little
if any damage at tne hands of
the severe rains last week, judg
ing from latest appraisals of the
situation. -.
"It is questionable If any dam
age developed from the rains,!
Robert Shinn of the Willamette
Cherry Growers association re
ports, and reports from Individ
ual growers are of the same opin
ion. : - ,
Not many orchards were in
bloom enough . when the rains
came to cause trouble, and at
the present time the chief worry
of cherry growers is frosty nights.
If no frosty nights develop,
prospects for the cherry yield
look good. With sunshine of the
past few days, the bloom la com
ing along fine.
But even a good bloom does
n't mean a good cherry crop, so
at that the best cherry growers
are doing now is hoping for a
favorable year. Last year, grow
ers recall, an excellent ' bloom
was experienced' and a favorable
season at this stage, but the crop
was a dismal failnre.
