to mostly tc higher.
Rome of the packers talked prices that
0 were actually lower at tha outset and this
bearish neas delayed trading somewhat, but
' movement started In fair season, and one
the lea was broken tha trade became fairly
active. The first hogs sold to packers
were no mora than lo higher and soma
looked little batter than steady, but the
demand proved to b aood, and as ship
pers furnished some pretty sharp eompetl
Uon the close was. If anything, better than
any other time, aalea at a IQlOo advance
pot being uncommon.

to 190 higher, with th general trade, as
noted, fully o higher. A spread of 14.t0

During Day,
TRADING IS VERY NARROW
New lork, April 24. Leading stocks rose
tnd fell within 2 to 1 point limits today,
a general but moderate reaction attending
th final deallnga. Trading vii even more
narrow than on th preceding day, with a
correspondingly smsll turnover, th total
output barrW amounting to 400,000 shares.
Operations lost none of their professional
character, enpeclally In the upeculattve
groups. Heaviness of local tractions at de
cllna of 1 ' t 4 points was regarded aa
a logical , rctmlt of the recent liquidation
In bonds of ihoae companies, The market
at Intervals evinced elgns of an oversold
condition,
Intereat centered mainly around the quar
terly atatem"nt of the United States Hter
corporation which was not Isaued until after
the market's close. The leter movement of
th stock did not susgeat sn Increase In the
"extra" fllvldend aa It closed at 1114a, a
nt loss of H. after having risen almost a
point.
Rail were exempt from the general sell
ing until the fag end of (he leeaslon, when
the receded 1 to 2 points under yesterday's
final quolstlons.
Bethlehem Steels and other prominent
munitions were firm to strung lit th fore
noon, with Gas shares. Leathers. Industrial
Alohnl and minor war supply shares. Later
revsrasls In these stocks were sttrlbuled
to the sbruplt decline in Cenersl Leather
on the failure of th dlrectora to declare

Wheal Rises Because of Vnfarorabl Crop
Ad vine from Europe,
Phtcan. lit.. AnrJI 94 flcarcltv of offer.
Ing with algn of liberal export buying at
Winnipeg and of a renewal of active do
mestic milling demand today helped to
bring higher prlcea for wheat. After a rise
that In eome cases reached to a bushel the
market closed strong at gains of 6c to lc
net, with May at 12.40 to 93.40 and
July at 13.09 to 92.06. Other commodi
ties, too, scored an advance corn 3o to
oats o to 203c and provisions
20c to 35c.
Upward swings of wheat values began al
most as soon as the market opened. Foreign
crop reports were decidedly unfavorable and
goaslp was current that among the first re
sults of the conferences In progress at
Washington would bo increased efforts to
facilitate movement of foodstuff to Eu
rope. Talk was also heard of cold weather,
delays to spring wheat seeding in soma
part of th northwest. There were reports,
too. that much Illinois winter wheat was
being plowed up as worthless and that a
big share or the winter crop in lowa wa
virtually a failure. '
Miller took all th choice wheat that
could be had here, and It was said that
stock In other centers were likewise below
materially reduced. This fact alone seemed
to b more than an offset or indefinite
peace rumors.
corn followed in tn main th action or
wheat. Advance, though, were due in part
to the fact that receipts have not shown
the Increase which many traders looked for.
Export demand helped to lift osts. There
was a good Inquiry here for shipment by
way of the Quit of Mexico.
Strength- In provisions was ascribed
chiefly to the advance of cereals. Lard and
rib wer in special demand.

munity Interest Control.
ASKS REOPENING OF CASE
Washington, April 24. Domination
of the gasoline industry by Standard
Oil interests, the Federal Trade com
mission reported to the senate today.
has been largely responsible for high
gasoline prices ot the last two years
The report, written after an exhaus
tive investigation into the entire pe
troleum industry, declares interlock
ing stork ownership prevents any real
competition among the various Stand
ard Oil companies and the commis
sion recommends legislation to per
mit reopening of th oil trust case
to obtain modifications of the supreme
court's dissolution decree.
No conclusive evidence was found,
it is stated, that collusion exists
among the Standard companies in
violation of the decree, but the com
mission's findings have been trans
mitted to the. attorney general.
Prices are declared to have been
raised arbitrarily, although natural
causes contributed. Pronounced price
inequalities were found in different
parts of the country.
The principal findings of the com
mission are:
That in most marketing territories
the Standard companies are dominant.
That the Standard companies have
maintained a distribution of territory
in marketing gasoline and that no sub
stantial competition in- the chief pe
troleum products exist among the
Standard companies.
That the absence of competition is
due to a community of stock owner
ship. That the facts disclose advances in
prices of gasoline and differences in
price corresponding to the Standard
marketing territories which could not
be explained except under the condi
tions charged.
That the combination of pipe lines
with other branches of the industry
has tended to establish and perpetu
ate monopoly.
That there is no conclusive evidence
of collusion among the Standard com
panies in violation of the dissolution
decree.
The commission recommended
these measures as necssary to remedy
conditions:
A law providing for the reopening
of anti-trust cases on the application
of the attorney general by a bill of
review for the purpose of obtaining
such modifications of decrees as are
required by new conditions.
Legislation to abolish in certain
cases common stock ownership in
corporations formerly members of
combinations dissolved under the
Sherman law.
Effective limitation of common
Ownership of stock in potentially com
petitive corporations by withdrawing
the power of voting and control.
Legislation, which, while recogniz
ing common ownership, would fix
upon such common owners the re
sponsibility for the acts of each of the
several subsidiary companies which
prevent competition.
Segregation of ownership of pipe
lines from the other branches of the
petroleum industry.
Congressional enactment to fix
standards for gasoline.
Federal collection and publication
of accurate statistics and information
concerning the industry.
Conditions in the gasoline industry
as uncovered by the investigation are
declared to be:

individuals or interests with more
than half of the stock of the various
companies in their hands.
Leading officers of the Standard
companies hold considerable in two
or more companies.
Standard Oil refineries produced
more than 60 per cent of the gasoline
output in 1915, sold about 65 per cent
of the total marketed and held more
than 70 per cent of gasoline stocks.
"Correspondence of the different
prices in 1915 with Standard market
ing territories," says the report, "itself
points tcr arbitrary price fixing. But
the arbitrary character of the in
equalities in price is conclusively dem
onstrated by the facts that as between
most of the territories there were no
such differences'in demand and supply
and the margin between cost
and price was widely different in the
different territories.
Wholesale gasoline prices rose be
tween 75 and 85 per cent in 1915, says
the report. Retail prices kept close
behind them. The part increased de
mand and scarcity of the product
played in the increase Is shown in fig
ures giving the increase in demand 38
per cent in 1915 and the production
7 per cent below the year before. The
Standard books show large earnings,
says the report, as also' was evidenced
by the enhanced stock market value
of Standard securities.

PEARSON SUGGESTS
i MINIMUM PRICES
Iowa Educator Says Farmer:
I Should Be Protected from
j Possible Loss.
i CONGRESS SEEKS LIGHI
j Washington, April 24. War time
food problems were1 considered to
day by committees of both houses of
congress.
R. A. Pearson, president of the
Towa College of Agriculture, and L.
H. D. Weld of Vale, before the sen
ate agriculture committee, believed it
might be well in fixing minimum
prices and for the government to
guarantee such prices for at least a
year or possibly longer.
"Assurance should be given," said
Mr. Pearson, "that the farmers will
be protected by a minimum price to
assure them against loss."
Secretary Redtield told the house
commerce committee how coal had
been shipped from the United State?
to the Argentine republic and there
trans-shipped through German firms
to German sea raiders. He pictured
a tinplate scarcity and the necessity
of conserving the supply of tin cans
for putting up food for military pur
poses. Under the proposed embargo
law the government could stop all
such expectations in order, as he ex
pressed it, "to keep England and
France going."
To permit experienced federal em
ployes to assist state and municipal
organizations engaged in mobilizing
and conserving the country's re
sources President Wilson, by execu
tive order, has suspended the rule of
more than forty years by which- fed
eral employes arc prohibited from
accepting other employment.
