advances elsewhere shlppsrs bought what
hogs they wanted about a dime higher. It
was getting olose to 19 o'clock bofors much
of any packer business was done, but they
had te follow the pace ast by shlppsrs. and,
as noted, put up ths bulk ot their droves at
1 io advance over yssteraays costs.
Supply proved broader than the demand.
and after all the orders were filled, there
were stilt In the neighborhood of fifteen of

to bo through, and up to midday almost
none of these had been able to And an out

these sell tt would be at the sacrifice of
most of the early upturn, if not all of It,
As a general thing, the market showed a

Dominant Trade Note Indicates Conser
vatism,
New York. May It. Bradstrast'a will sny:
While some sections of ths country con
tinue to send In cheerful news regarding
trade, the dominant note indicates consvr
vatlsm, which Is not obscured either by
heavy government buying nor by the fact
that Industry keeps moving at an active
pace, accompanied by advancing wuges. In
ordinately high prices for commodities re
strict purchases In other lines, and as ths
weathsr over a large area has been decid
edly u-iaeaaonable retail dealers bave not
been sbl to work off stocks and reorders
from Jobbers, speaking In a broad sense, are
conaplauoua by their absence. Moreover
country trade Is stilled by ths fsct that
farmsrs are busily engaged In planting and
trying to make op for backward weather
conditions. Drastic taxation plans Involv
ing higher duties, coupled with readjust
ment to a war .basis on certain products
cause a cautious spirit and as rates for
money are higher the tendency In numerous
lines Is to rrsrk time and naturally the
floating of ths big liberty loan deters other
financing and ths stock market Is Irregular.

CHICAGO GBA1N AND PROVISIONS, t
Wheat and Cora Unsettled ; Provisions
Strong and Higher.
Chicago. May 11. Unparalleled new high
prlcea In ths wheat market reached av point
toaay wnere leading nouses retuseaLoutright I
any bumnesa that involved contracts re- f
quiring delivery this month. To a lesser ei-
tsnt July also was put under a ban.
After an extreme advsnoo of 11 o, the
market closed unsettled 1 49o net
higher, with Msy at 93,18 and July at
83.49O2.60. Com finished o off to o
up, oats gained Hflo and provisions
showed a rise of 6ltc.
Tightening up or the wheat market de
veloped almost as soon as trading opened.
Lack of offerings, the chief reason as
signed, became more and morn acute. It
seemed as If all would-be short sellers had
been scared out of the market and that the I
only selling waa from longs with pronto.
Denials wero general that an American
government official's public references to
the possibility of ths market ascending to 16 I
a bUBbei was a factor in causing the nsw
upturn.
Material setbacks from the nsw top
level of wheat Quotations wsro brought
about In tho lato trading. Chancea of drastic
measure by tho directors of the Board of
Trade against continued trading In tho May
delivery did a good deal to tnduco unload
ing hy holders.
The limited amount of cash wheat here
capable of being utilised for settling May I
contracts excited mucn comment. As
consequence No. 2 red, an ordinary con-. I
tract grade, sold as high as 83,40 todav.
whereas the previous topmost record was
63.31.
Corn hardened with wheat, but reacted
after reaching a new hich cries level.
Weather that favored planting and growth I
tended somewhat to encouraae selllna. Oats
were bought liberally on account of their
discount under otner cereals.
Higher quotations on hogs and grain
strengtnenco provisions. Tne bulge, how
over, led to much realising by longs.

Forty-Eight Millions in
Gold Comes from London
New York, May 11. Resumption
of British gold imports assumed large
proportions today, another consign
ment of $18,400,000 from Canada to
J. P. Morgali & Co. being deposited
in the local Federal Reserve bank.
This makes au aggregate of $48.
000,000 received here in the last three
days, $382,000,000 since the beginning
of the year and a grand total of
$1,520,000,000 since January, 1915.

for maintaining gold imports in or
der to stabilize the sterling market at
this center.
Sweden Still Further
Restricts Liquor Sales
Stockholm, May 11. (Via London.)
Sweden has taken a further step
in the restriction of the sale of alco
holic beverages.
Under a law adopted by the Riks
dag, effective January 1, 1919. the
present system of selling distilled
liquors is extended to cover wine and
beer. This means that every con
sumer will have to be equipped with
a pass book in which his purchases
will be entered.
Private saloons will also be abol
ished and all private trade in beer
and wine and the importation of wine
by individuals are torpiaden.
U.S. Has Made No
Deal Relative to
Separate Peace
Washington. May 11. Secretary
Lansing today denied published re
1 orts that the United States has an
agreement with the entente allies not
to make a separate peace with Ger
many by saying:
"There is no agreement written or
unwritten relative to peace."
Interest in the attitude of .he gov
ernment springs from announcements
that the German chancellor soon is
to make another offer of peace terms.
Girl Shot Through Back;
Chum Held on Suspicion
Chicago, May 11. Thirteen-year-old
Doris Anderson is held by the po
lice todav on suspicion that she shot
and killed Grace Hagemann, her
school girl chum, also 13 years old,
yesterday afternoon over the love of
a boy.
Grace Hagemann was shot in the
back, the bullet emerging at the right
side of the chest. Doris, the only one
who saw the shooting, insists that
Grace shot herself. The police de
clare the course taken by the bullet
proves this impossible.
The theory of the little girls' affec
tion for Rhine Fleck, a boy friend, is
held by the police as a possible mo
tive for the death of the girl. Jeal
ousy may have prompted suicide rtr
murder, the police hold, while consid
ering the possibility that the girls
had entered a suicide pact and that
the Anderson girl lost her courage
when she saw her friend fall.
