count th advance today the market la
fully aa strong as at any tm thts aeason,

scarce all the week and the market on that
kind of cattle la strong.

v Hoga The market followed almost Identi
cally the aama course aa yesterday. Higher
price all around and only fair receipts here
mad the undertone bullish from th outset,
and while It was mid forenoon before a great
desl of stuff aold, it waa just a matter of,
agreeing on the amount of the advance.
Shippers started the ball rolling, buying
rather freely at th opening. They paid
price that were easily 10 01 to up, and
looked too higher In -.pots. Aa waa th case
yesterday packers made thejr opening blda
Mtisdy, but sellers, who bad aa a general
thing priced their holdings about 16e higher
at th outset, never had to change their
luVas much movement of killer bogs inally
aisrilng on a 10016c higher basis.
Thera were several drag ay spots la the
trade, but th cloaa waa aa good as any
othor time on anything desirable, and near
ly everything ohangad hands In pretty good
aeason. Prices were arenarallv toman hih
,er, and more aalea wer probably made ISo
up than any other way. A spread of $16.60
0 16.90 caught tnoat of th aalea, and sew.
rel loada of good neavtes aold at $14,00, th
price being paid for the first time In nearly
a month. So far this week there baa been
a full quarter advance, and prices are rap
idly getting back to where they wart at
tun tiikw nme.

The cash wheat situation continued strong
today and prices on this article ruled from

very good, and while today's receipts were

price of the day. while No. 3 hard brought
33.19 and 13.21, and No. 4 hard ranged In

pretty fair inquiry for spring and mixed
wheat, but the offerings of these varieties
were rather light and only a few sales were
reported. No. 3 spring selling at 13.10 to
$3.20. while No. 3 mixed sold around 13 17.
Corn receipt were rather heavy, but the
trade In this cereal was a trifle slow, with
prices quoted at a decline.
Tne marKei generally was quoiea irom
Ktfady to me lower, with the bulk of the
offerings selling at the decline.
Th ore m turn on white corn over tne yel
low waa about 4c. and the yellow In turn
ftold at a fractional advance over the mixed,
the belter grades of yellow bringing from
II.S8S to 11.59, while the mixed brought
from $1.68 to 11.58 and the whit aold
from 11.62 to 11.63.
Oata were a trine weaK at a c io io
decline, and there was a fair demand for
thl cereal, atandard bringing 11140 and
the No. 3 white 70c
Rye waa auoted nominally irom ate ay to
1c lower, and barley waa quoted practically
unchanged,

Summary of west nor conditions In the
corn and whcHt region for the week ending
Tuesday. .May . 1917.
The week whm abnormally cool, and too
wet and cloudy for best growth or farm
work. Ilea (low, pastures and grain made
some advance. Winter wh'-at made consid
erable improvement in eastern and south
central Kansas, where plants are reported
stoollng well. Good progress waa made In
seeding spring wheal, although germination
and growth were rather slow. Gardens,
some truck crops, and corn, were decidedly
unfavorably affected by weather conditions.
Ground was too cold snd wet In the central
corn district." and planting was consider
ably delayed. There was some damage lo
fruit by frost and low temperature.
CHKAf'O tiRAIN ANI PROVISIONS
Wheat Price- Break Nhamly on Rumors of
Peace Negotiations,
cesslve day the wheat market reached a
Chicago, May 10, For the fourth sue
new high nrlce level today. The latest ad
vance waa 4 cents, making the total of th
four-dny bulge above previous top records
lust 35 cents a burnt;!.
Lifting of export bids to the highest
premiums yet had much to do with the
fresh strength of the mnrket. Closing quo
tations were firm. 1 tfic up, with May

Resumption of advances In the price of
wheat today was preceded temporarily by
sharp breaks that were due largely to
vagus rumors of Impending peace devel
opments and gosMp that spring crop seed
ing was being completed under favorable
circumstances. Suddenly, however, a rapid
upward movement of values set in, and
during the rest of the day the bulls had
virtual control of the pit.
Announcement that the entente allies
were planning to take 33,000,000 bushela
from the United States by July 1 received
considerable notice as the wheat market
climbed higher and higher In the last half
hour of tha eeeslon.
Special notice, though, was taken of
statements that the invisible supply In
farm granaries and small mills would be
sufficient for domestic needs. Throughout
the day the volume of business was greatly
restricted by the fact that commission
houses were requesting almost prohibitive
margins, to rents a bus hoi or more from
all customers.
Corn swayed with wheat, first easing
down and then making rallies. Reporta of
cold weather delays to planting gave some
advantage to the bulls. Oats displayed but
little Independence of other cereals. Sea
board , houses supported the May delivery
and It was disclosed that more than 1,100,
bushels of oats had been shipped front
here In the last two days.
Higher prices on hoga carried provl
alona upgrade. There whs a fair mlscecl
laneous demand.

Hawaiian Islands Fear
Shortage in Food Supply
(Correspondenc. of Th. Associated Press.)
Honolulu, T. ri., April 26. War has
brought upon Hawaii what is pro
nounced by federal, territorial and
business authorities as a serious situa
tion as regards the food supply. Fears
are openly expressed that in the event
of the appearance of a hostile raider
in the Pacific, or any other occurrence
that might shut off or curtail trans
Pacific traffic, the islands would be in
a had wav for food, as there is, it is
stated, less than a week's supply on
hand.
Govftnor L. E. Pinkham has issued
a proclamation in which he calls at
tention to the serious food situation
that, he says, confronts Hawaii and
urges land owners and others immedi
ately to increase the resources of the
territory. . '
The situation is greatly complicated
by the restrictions imposed by the
censorship. All use of wireless is pro
hibited by the military and naval au
thorities. This hampers the move
ments of the fleet of warships which
bring produce to Honolulu from the
other islands of the group.
There is a disposition shown on the
part of a certain element of the com
munity to collect and hoard supplies.
Warnings have been issued unofficially
by the authorities against this prac
tice, but thus far withouf evident re
sult. Prices of the most necessary com
modities, such as flour, rice, potatoes
and onions, have advanced greatly.
Women to Replace Men
In Underwriter's Office
London, Aprol 26. Underwriters at
Ltoyds were shocked the other day
to learn that the military tribunal
had suggested the assignment of wo
men workers to replace men fit for
service there. There-was even talk
of a strike.
Edward E. Nicholls, a member of
the directing committee, replied: "The
tribunal doesn't know what it is
about if it endorses this suggestion.
Anyone who knows how business is
conducted at Lloyds knows that it is
a seething mass of struggling people.
No woman could decently take part in
such work.
"Underwriters are already employ
ing women as clerks in their offices,
and thev are doinK excellent work.
This, however, has been carried about
as tar as it can oe. it lanes a mc
timp tn train men to work on the floor
at Lloyds. , If more men are taken
from us, it will simply Decome im
possible to insure ships. We shall
have to consider, in fact, the question
of calling a. cessation of work in
order to draw attention to what is
being done." " ' -:

i " In announcing the 200,000 nharen of the Cypress Copper Mines Company for
subscription at 75 cents per ahsre, we personally spent in excess of $10,000 in
preliminary development work (31 assays from various workings of the property
show an average of $32.28 per ton) for the purpose of ascertaining the vslue of
the Company's holdings. Accordingly we feel fully justified in recommending the
shares of this company as a splendid investment.
The prevailing high price of copper with indications pointing to higher prices,
should mean a substantial return to the. careful investor in"copper stocks. . . ,
The Cypress Copper Mines Company- located in the state of Arizona, which. In,
1916 produced 675,000,000 pounds of copper, is not a prospect, as there has been
done to date approximately 2.000 feet of underground development work, Ore In
dicated Is of an estimated value of $3,000,000, or equivalent to $3 a share on the
entire capitalisation.
The company at present is actively operating, and with further development
work the present value of the company's holdings should be substantially increased.
