Oata finished 3 He to 4SUo down, and

Suggestions that German peace feelera
might have had a bearish Influence on corn
met with emphatic general dissent. Once
the downward plunge of values, had started,
however, everybody in the trading pit
seemed to be imbued with a single Idea
and that was to sell. Buyers were at no
time numerous enough to hold the market
In rbeck until 6c a bushel setback templed
purrhasing on the part of heavy Interests
lhat had previously withdrawn as bidders
A leadlne industry was conspicuous In fol
lowing this course. Total disappearance of
wintry weather appeared to be the cniet eie
nmnt of bearish sentiment, with much notice
also being taken of a prospect that lower
grades soon would be made acceptaDie on
ordinary contracts.
Oats were swayed largely by the same In
fluence which affected corn.
Provisions dropped owing to heavy ware

PLOT TO CONTROL
U.S. WOOL MARKET
New- York. March 16. The investi
gation of the state attorney genera'
to determine whether an alleged Ger
man plot exists in this country to
control the wool market, was resumed
today with Juli is Forstiuann, a wool
manufacturer of Passaic, X. J., again
on the stand.
Deputy Attorney General Becker
introduced at the outset a letter which
l-'rostmatin acknowledged lie had
written to Hugo Schmidt, agent for
the Deutsche hank in New York and
now interned as an alien enemy. The
letter, dated May 23, ll)16, requested
Schmidt to purchase for the writer
various German securities, saying that
there would be paid into his account
in the Deutsche bank in Cerliu 350,
000 marks.
"I pray you particularly to handle
things in sich a way and in such
form that it a letter is intercepted
one cannot read in it that I am the
party concerned," Forstiuann wrote.

BHADSTRF.ETS REVIEW OF TRADE.
Transportation Inadequate and Trade Ap.
peart to lag In Sympathy.
New York, March 15. Bradstreet't to
morrow will say:
Trade, industry and farm work alike con
tinue to grow, lut as transportation is In
adequate complaints regarding poor deliv
eries are widespread. Nevertheless the rail
way eltuatton rhows some betterment. In
land water traffic Is freer. Industrial out
put has been enlarged, trade In the larger
essential lines shows expansion and as soil
conditions are favorable while wages are
high with employment better than ever op.
tlmlsm Is !n evidence.
Country merchants, fearing scarcity of
goods or still higher prices, are buying for
fall account, and dealera in the smaller
towns ere rxp-rtenoing a revival In trade
thanks to the Industrial activity, congested
deliveries and perhaps because of the ta
on passenger fares. Incidentally there Is a
good demand for Immediate deliver', even
though retail trade has not yet fully
opened up. But the government, as for
some time past. Is the largest single factor
In the general buying movement, and over
everything might be written the heading
that this superactivity Is due to war prepa
rations which extend out to a myriad ot
llnee. Numerous small concerns now or
heretofore engaged on nonessentials have
been diverted -o war work.
Aside from buying from the militant ef
forts of the country there Is an excellent
demand for millinery as well as for tex
tiles, prices for which continue to rifce and
at the same time broader preparations for
farm work stimulate business in seeds and
agricultural implements. On the other
hand Insufficient supplies of wheat restrict
flour milling, while trade In shoes In the
east ts Inartiv-. and tho market for leather
presents a weak undertone.

MASTER PLUMBERS
FINISH MEETING
President Ornnwald Fears That
Existence of the Organiza
tion Is Now En
dangered. Barney Grunwald, Omaha, was
elected president of the Nebraska
Master Plumbers' association at the
closing meeting of the convention
Friday afternoon. Frank Boyer, West
Point, was elected vice president;
George J. Morris, Omaha, treasurer,
and J. B. Coningham, Omaha, secre
tary. E. P. Dussel, Columbus: V. J.
Cattin, Omaha, J. C. Bixby, Omaha,
and C. E. Cantrell, Grand Island,
were elected directors.
The newly elected president sought
to avoid election on the plea that he
had so many large contracts that he
coutd not possibly give the time to
the assoication which he felt it should
have. He begged to be allowed to de
cline this year anTl promised t( take
the office next if necessary. However,
the very fact that in seeking to de
cline he made a speech whiclishowed
he had so clear a grasp on the im
portant things before the plumbers at
this time that the association virtual
ly drafted him.
Mr. Grunwald said that "the very
existence of the master plumber is
endangered by a propaganda put out
by the building owners' and managers'
associations and real estate boards
throughout the country."
He asserted that these bodies and
other organizations are seeking to get
all plumbing work done by their en
gineers and to cut out the contracts
with the master plumbers. He insist
ed that the Nebraska organization
must be built up much stronger than
it ever was before and must prepare
to fight these, "the enemies of the
master plumber."
J. W. Gamble, chairman of the ex
ecutive committee of tlin Omaha
Chamber of Commerce talked on
"Business Conditions in Yr.r Time"
and urged the plumbers to study their
costs belter than ever .before, to stock
up with supplies and to make ma
terial count. "The time is coming be
fore long when it will not be merely
a question of paying the price for sup
plies. It will be a matter of not being
able to get some of the things at all."
The plumbers held a banquet in the
evening at the Hotel Castle. The
women enjoyed a theater party in the

EXPLANATION OF
DELAYS IN MAIL
MADE BY FANNIKG
Postmaster Answers Cfrvamber
of Commerce Inquiry by Cit
ing Labor Shortage and
Increased Work.
Postmaster Fanning, in a long letter
to the Omaha Chamber of Commerce,
endeavors to answer its inquiry re
garding the delay in dispatch and de
livery of mails.
The complaint, the postmaster
charges, was inspired by Clarke
Powell after the postoffice had sent
back to him 2,000 circulars under
"permit" postage which had been
mailed in a jumbled mass, instead of
being arranged with all the addresses
"faced" the same way so that it could
be sorted quickly.
"The fault lor anv dclav in rlMive-rv
of mail in Omaha lies in misconnec
tion of traitu and congestion on the
railway mail cars and in terminals,"
says the postmaster's letter. "As for
the work in the Omaha postoflice,
figures show that no other office in
the whole country is making such a
high record for efficiency."
"We have lost 90 ment out of our
force and soon will lose 16 more,"
said the postmaster. "We have had
great difficulty in obtaining new men,
and, when ihey;are obtained, they
are inexperienced men who must have
months of training and study before
they become at all efficient."
He also points out that extra work
has been placed on the postoffice force
without addiuonal clerical help. In
cluded in this are:
Many New Tasks.
1. Handling all the thrift and war
saving stamps for the state of Ne
hraska,, which irivolves sending out
the stamps In 90 postoffices, receiving
the filled cards of thrift stamps and
keeping the accounts straight.
2. Handling all the federal revenue
stamps for die state. Yesterday, one
town, Tekamah, bought ?9,000 worth.
3. Registiation of alien enemies.
4. Cashing Liberty bond coupons.
5. Paying off the 1,000 employe;
of the fourteenth division of the rail
way mail service.
Pay Rural Carriers.
6. Paying off the 1,300 rural mail
carriers of Nebraska twice a month.
Applications for additional help at
the Omaha office, he adds, have been
met with the statement from Wash
ington that the appropriation is ex
hausted and no new employes can be
supplied unt'l July.
On top of all this, Mr. Fanning says,
first class mail showed an increase of
25 per icent, and parcel post mail an
increase of 40 per cent in 1917.
