The close was strong 102o net higher, with May at i.ii.kio and July at 91.64Vl-66. corn gained Mc and oats V c. Provisions finished at losses of 7 0i 36c. Much nervousness and depression pre ceded the development of strength In' the wheat market. The chief bearish factor was confirmation of report! that a serine ot rail way strikes had been arranged to oegin Saturday If the eight-hour law Issue Is not settled prior to then. Beneficial rains in the winter crop region tended runner to give the bears a transient advantage and too, did paace talk oaaea on tneones regarding food shortage in belligerent coun tries. Signs, however, of important ex, on aalea gradually changed the temper of the trade, especially alter gossip became cur rent that buying on the part oi representa tives of foreign governments had in the laat few daya run Into millions of 'bushels. Rumors of a wiutngnesa by uermany to change the submarine blockade so aa to avoid war with the United States received considerable attention In the last hour of trading. Notwithstanding that the rumors were very Indefinite, their circulation led shorts to make a general rush to cover. Aa result final prices were sharply above yesterday's close, and also within a fraction of tho hlgheat point touched today. . Corn displayed Independent strength ow ing to the smalliess of receipts her and at other primary centers. Besides, shipments war larger than waa the casa laat year. Oats hardened mainly because ot the up turns In other cereals. Leading commis sion houses were active buyers.

The financial record of Ameri can Wars is one of patriotism and vision. War obligations have been readily met and economic progress made. For the first time in its history, the Urlited States has now become a creditor nation, and by meeting the needs of other nations is able to strengthen its own financial and commercial position. - - ' . ' Every citizen is concerned in the situation presented and its relation to his own affairs. How American Wirwince 1776 hve been financed and these War debta discharged ; the economic ef fect of War loans; in thit country and in Europe : lessons taught by experience and the opportunities offered for the future are described in a booklet entitled " War Loans and the United States,' ' issued and sent upon request by the Guaranty Trust Company of New York 140 Broadway Capital ani Surplus -Resources more tkaa KEW YORK STOCKS Recent Tendencies Toward Higher Levels Halted by Strike Threat. RAILROAD SHARES YIELD New York, March 12. Tendencies re- i cently manifested by the stock market in the dlractiun of higher level were halted today by the turn of events In the contro- I verxy bo t ween the railway brotherhood and 1 railway managers. The reported attitude of the labor unions was the more aurprialng and disconcerting from the fact that the financial community hail been led to be lieve In the existence of a temporary work ing agreement between the opposing inter ests. ' Railroad shares yielding from 1 to 2 points on the moderate offering of this morning with as much and occasionally a little more for other active stocks Including leading industrials, shippings, metals and the usual tipeci<les. Later when dealings dwindled in Insigni ficant proportions pricea made gradual but very complete recoveries. Including a few noteworthy gains, due mainly to short cov erings. Not a few trader acted upon a lime-worn proverb of the street that it is most often hazardous to sell, a itarkct on strike developments. As usual United States Steel, which closed at a slight fractional advance, furnlahed a very large proportion of the day's business with Coppers, .Shippings, Central Leather, and a few other war and em!-wur spe cialties. Reading whs the only active stock In the railway -division and utilities were less conspicuous than usual. Sales, 620,000 shares. General news had little direct bearing upon the market, the offering of New York City bond attracting little attention. Thu average of bids were regarded as only fair In view of ths present ease of uionvy. Dullness was the most pronounced char acteristic of the market for foreign ex change, another reversal in Italian remlt ances having Its basis on sentimental rather than actual grounds, intimation of an early announcement of a new French loan lacked confirmation in authorlattve quar ters. nternationnl bonds moved within ex tremely narrow limits on light offerings and inoftt domestic Isaue were Irregular.

BONE DBY KANSAS CRACKS Snow and more snowl TJic temperature in Omaha laried only three degrees in the twenty eight hours from 6 a. m. Monday to 10 a. m. Tuesday. The lowest was 31 and the highest 34 degrees. Nor is there any important change in tem perature in sight. "Unsettled, with probably rain or snow and partly cloudy," is the prediction. Rains and snows have been falling the last twenty-four hours all over the country from the Rocky to the Allegheny mountains, a great boon to the crop prospects. Reports from bleeding Kansas say the ground was so bone dry it was cracking. Worth Many Millions. If other snow and rain storms have been worth a million dollars to the country lying between the Missouri river and the mountains it is asserted that the one now general over the en tire central west should be marked down as having many times greater value. The storm that set in Monday con tinued all night and now is covering the widest area of any in years. Ac cording to the reports to the rail roads, it extends from Illinois all the way west into Colorado and Wyom ing and from far1 up in the Dakotas down into Oklahoma. With the ex ception of a pocket up around Sheri dan, Hardin and Billings, where the markings were 6 to 10 below zero, temperatures range all the way from 16 to 40 degrees above zero. Rain with the Snow. All over northern and central Ne braska and Iowa during the last twenty-four hours the precipitation has been a mixture of rain and snow, alternating. The precipitation is fig ured anywhere from one to two inches. " Through southern Iowa and Ne braska and Kansas rain has been the rule and the precipitation has been greater than farther north. Reports to the Union Pacific indicate that at numerous places in southern Ne braska and Kansas there had been a precipitation of one to three inches in the last twenty-four hours. The heavy fall of snow and rain has caused some alarm among the oper ating men of the railroads. With the Why the Telephone Operators Repeat the If umber Requested Have you ever noticed that the telephone operators repeat the numbers for which yon xall? These are the reasons for doing this: 1. To let you know that your request has been received. 2. To give you an opportunity of cor - recting the operator if she has misunder stood you. If you speak slowly and distinctly when the operator says, "Number, please", acknowledge ing the operator's repetition by saying "Right" if she repeats your number correctly, or saying "No" and giving it again, if she repeats it in correctly, it will help your telephone, service greatly.
