The wheat trade l making the nm
Mistake this year that it lae year
In thr paiy That is l ev.txsetrnc some
nine defisft IB the war of. rop damage
reports early la April. The. truth ia thai
l lie wheat plant does not have a (air
tut to show whether It hi been winter
Ictlled or not until about the middle of
.April. Consequently It wllll be no great
surprise It sections now ainoing in mu
lcting report a should change the tone of
their advice.
Shorta have been run In on )uet such
sdvioes from the oath-west, as well aa
section east of the Mississippi river, and
market changes wUl continue to be ruled
hy these reports.
Conservative methods are being advo
cated In the earn market. The situation
la remarkable, but the market haa had
maufh a.lva nfm in al leaast axneet SOIBfl
r.atural reaetioo from these levels. If
there la to be a real scavrfty later In the
sosaon the forte In the situation win oe
felt later d urine the sumwr season. The
extreme buying now la . baaed on (be
ctrength In all cash corn markets.
The strength In wheat la due to cover
Ira; bjr shorts, the market phoning over
ro:d conditloa on the rarent decline.
There are scattered dsmtige reporta oa
late sown winter wheat w I kh la bringing
it rome buying support. Cash wheat
was l2o higher.
The cash situation In corn Is the chief
bull factor. I ash values are advancing
lailer tliati futures, with receipts light

ootnpanr's Weekly Review of Trad to
morrow will say: '
The growth of business confidence
which la so plainly la evidence may be
greater than tin growth la business
activity, but the latter steadily Increased
and la moreover, supported by aubetaa
tlal contributions to the soundness ot
general conditions.
The better sentiment prevailing In most
ot the markets la clearly revealed la the
reports which coma from the different
aeclioaa of the country and notaoiy from
the leading center of th west and south.
It Is accentuated by constantly improv
ing conditions making for good crops, by
the steady expansion la the principal
trades and by th removal on by one
of causes of uncertainty. There Is now a
suspension of anthracite mining in this
country. This Is regarded aa being
merely temporary, but In England tlie
great coal strike Is drawing to a close.
it is significant that while tne numoer
of commercial failures during th first
qusrter of the cr was large, there waa
Plata proof ot expaading Investment and
notable incaease la th output ot new
securities and abort term notes In tlie
ims period.
The forward movement In iron and
steel Is tliuatrsxed by pronounced gain la
he output ot tdg Iron during March. New
business Is enlarging at a gratifying
pace, rroaucta of linianed material con
tinues at a good rata wltb some strength
ening in the quotations of several lines
1 la piatea are bualcr and the demand for
tin sheets ha broadened, while the mar
ket for plates, structural material and
steel bars hss Improved and numerous
inquiries are reported tor ateel cars.
While the cotton coods- nisrkets sea
slightly less active, demand for spot
good continue steady aad price rule
very firm, witn Jobber doine a much
better business than at thla time a year
ago. Cotton goods for Immediate de
livery are seine with a steady increase
la velues. Export trad la very large.
A number of small inquiries have been
received from China, though no business
has been done. In woolen eooda iheee
la a broad dlstrioutloa of staple pro
ducts. He vera) advance were made la
overcoating and worsted suitings. Roth
woolen and col ion yarns are very firm
and silks for fall ars being ordered la a
moderate way.
A better tofie marks the fivueu, . r
ket, biat trading la aot active aa yet. The
leather trade continues to Increase in
tlvliy week by week and prices rule de
cidedly strong on sll varieties and es
pecially soon sole and on belling leather
Trade In domestic packer hides la rather
moderate and price oa most varieties

CATTLlu Recetpta were light, ' only
forty-seven cars being reported In. In
cluded In this number were twenty-six
car ot hay-fed steers from Red Rock,
Mont, over hslf of them being con
signed through and not offered for sal
on thla market.
Aa might be expected with so few cat
tle here and aa ls usually the case on a
Friday the trade waa rather alow and
uninteresting. The salea ot beef ateera
ranged anywhere from steady to quite
little lower and It waa tne better
grades of cattle that showed the most
weakness. Light and medium gradea of
cattle were In fact fully ateady with
yesterday and were quite ready sellers In
most cases. Butcher stoca was also
stssdy and In very fair demand, prao-
tieauy all the cows and heifers oa sals
being cleaned up at aa early hour.
Tlie re were no stock cattle and feeders
of any consequence, but the feeling on
mat class ot came was generally ateady.

SHEEP Estimated receipts of sheep
and lambs, given at 8.tJW head. Included
about twenty-five ksada ot Idaho stuff
consigned through to the east, leaving
an actual market aupply that was vary
moderate. Practically everything came In
tne wool and sheep seemed to be more
plentiful then lambs. Only one string of
attractive fat lambs were offered and
with the packing demand active If not
broad, sellers were able ta obtain prices
steady to about a dime higher for ail
classes of fat stock.
The lambs were good to choice westerns
and sold for 17 86. the highest price paid
since June of 1910. No Mexicans appeared
in the display and the spring lamb trade
was also barren, despite a brisk Easter
demand for little stuff. Plump spring
lambs hare been remarkably scare lately
at all points, and are in urgent request
at SlJeS 14 and better. Shorn lambs with
finish have been selling around rooty
7 26, showing 401t76c discounts from simi
lar quality wooled goods.
Aside from three or four modest ship
ments ot wooled ewes, the market for
sheep waa nothing more than a nominal
affair. Early ewe sales were made at 16.7
.es. inuicsting a 1S.W limit tor choice
offerings Teppy aethers were wanted

amo oroer. would probablv sell up to

trade ahows an uneven advance of 364
ojc. shorn stuff getting th long end
of the bulge. Sheep are selling about Jut?

During the week, the main feature ot
. ,r hu been light receipts, due
to floods and washout on all railroads

LEAD IN RAILROAD SIGNALS
British CUlm of SapeHarity Over
. Eaistlas Systessa la I sited .
, State. '-- '
H. Ray nar Wilson, writing to the editor
of the London Times In criticism at
a ' statement which suggested that all
etflcleat railroad signalling devices ema
nated from th t'nlted State, sayg that
credit must be given Amertc for two of
the appliances that haws been adopted on
British railways. These are th "dead
man haadie" and the automatic train
control, but there has as yet been no
need lo Install th tint lock, although
exactly tb same conditions as are con
sidered necssssry for lu us oa Amer
tcaa roads are to be found her. Inter
locking at conflicting points and signal
and ths use of the lock system are purely '
Brltiah ideas, and also the control ot
the outdoor signal by th block Instru
ments and th control ot the Utter by
tfco trains. Track circuits are generally
assumed to be aa American invention. .
but any division of sections ot ths lino
by means of insulated Joints waa antici
pated by William Bulla English patent.
No. 2,40) of lias, the writer claim. Mr.
Sykes used a track circuit ta 16. Bat It '
was aot until 171 that Franklin L. Pop
put one oa the Boston A Lowell railroad.
While the earliest . automatic signals
those fixed by Thomas S. Hall, ia 1817
were American, there was admittedly In
corporated in the method of operation
the Idea contained la th patent -of Mr.
Tyer. an Englishman, of l&s.
Another point where the human agent
haa been controlled, L e, a signal being
raised to lbs "dancer" position by a
train, independently of the signalman,
waa dona by Kvkes, Tyer, Hodgson and
other In the TFa.
One Rem Is, however, aot mentioned,
and that Is htcomotlv cab signals. Ths
writer says "4 hare the Americana
beaten,' Sine June, 1904. th Interatats
Commerce eommtsstoa has been Inviting
and Investigating designs for automatic
train control and cab signal But, aa
yet, no cab signal, and only one system
ot train control for (team trains, Is under
trial to any extent. On the British ..
Greet Western railway and th North
eastern railway, however, cab signals
have long since passe 4 the trial stag
and ars In regular v Deration. Incident
ally It may be remarked that la 1863 Mr.
Tyer took out patent in which, by
electrical mesas, ha warned a station of
th approach ot a train, and gars "stop"
and "all right" Indication oa the en-
glne.
The. fact Is." says lr. Wilson, "wo
bar llttl to learn from American rait-
ways, either tn signalling or metliod of
operation. The two countries are alto- .
rether dissimilar. I know everything that
haa been and Is being don In signalling
In America, and I can state with confi
dence that th automatic signalling in
stallations on the electrically worked
railways of London and ths power opera,
tins of point and signals there, at Quvs
gw Cmtral, and elsewhere, ars greatly
superior to any to be found la America.
Thar are many appliances In use in ths, .
United States that call for praise as
being tngentoua but (heir us is often
open to grave danger, aa. for Instance, .
the substitution of track circuit to hold
facing points when trains ars passing '
over them. Instead of locking bars, or,
aa termed In America, detector bar.
There an evils associated with the latter, '
I admit, .but the combination ot th me-
chanlcal with th electrlcal-reUla th ''
bam and add the track circuit Is what '
ahold bo done."
