Oats finished H cant off to 1 cant up, and provisions unchanged to 11 cents higher. Upturns In the corn market obtained their momentum largely from ths tact that at first the outlook seemed to be for a continued bulge in quotations on rys and barley. Seaboard exporters were said to bs bidding much higher prices for both rys and barley than on yester day.

The cruis er Gloire, the last of a fleet of five French warships saaifr to American waters early last year and placed under command of Vice Admiral Al bert Gleaves to have a part in the convoying and protecting of Amer ican cargo transports, left here last night for France. The unheralded departure of this cruiser, carrying Rear Admiral Grout, the 'commanding officer of the fleet, brought to a close a little known incident of the grest war which reflects the unity of action between the allied powers and the United States. The duties of these ships were to take their turn with American war vessels in the convoying of the Bay, of Biscay American ships carrying supplies f6r the American army, id which on this duty one of them, the Dupetit Thouars( paid the supreme price falling a victim to a German submarine last August as it was ap proaching her port of destination.

OBJECTIONS TO BANKING BILL DISAPPEARING ' n Farmers and -Bankers Get ting Together to Patch Up Differences Relative to Senate File. From a Staff Correspondent. Lincoln, March 22. (Special.) Farmers and bankers in the legisla ture and outside may patch up their difference over S. F. N6. Z44, the bill intended to limit the organiza tion of new banks1 in Nebraska and give it their combined support when amended to meet objections of the former. A conference looking to ward such an agreement was held at the Lindell hotel Friday afternoon, after the bill had been laid over in the house without action. vThose present were: ' Representative H. K. Frantz, Cass county, and Jesse Palmer, for the hankers; Representatives Osterman, Hodges and Harry Johnson and C. H. Gustafson, president of the State Farmers' union, for the rural inter ests. Several oronosed amendments o tire bill were discussed. Osterman, as spokesman for the farmers, said there would be a meet ing of their members in the legisla ture, next Monday evening, and whatever might bv tentatively agreed upon would have Jo go be fore that meeting it approval. He indicated, however, that the farmers are just as anxious as the bankers to stamp out wildcat banking and do awtfy 'with the promoting feature of that business. Position Taken By Farmers. - A. between the original senate bill allowing the State Banking board discretionary power to refuse charters to new banks, and the Fil- Irv substitute offered in the house with Governor McKelviC's O. K., which provides that a new bank must do business for three years before it can come under the pro tection of the guaranty law, the farmers made it plain that they would rather take 'the former .as a basis to begin with than the latter. "That three-year clause is aDso lutelv orohibitive against the hew banks.'Nasserted Osterman and Gus tafson. "The people have great Salt Creek Producers Assn.

That is just what the farmers don't want." Palmer inquired if the ruralists would agree to have the law amend ed by making it unlawful for a new bank to pay anything for promotion or organization expense. "Sure thing," was the response. "We are just a strong against bank promoters as you are. Put that in and we'll support it." Farmers Suggest Amendment. Then the farmers, in turn, sug gested an amendment. It was that if IS per cent of the voters in any community petition in favor of a new bank it shall be mandatory on the state banking board to grant the charter. The bankers did not take to this very kindly. They thought that it would be possible to get a 15 per cent petition almosanywhere, and thus the purpose of the law would be defeated. If the petition idea were adopted at all, they insisted that the requirement should be 25 per cent at the very least. No definite conclusions were reached as to what amendments would satisfy both sides. The bill will probably rest on the house cal ender until after the meeting of farmer membeVs Monday evening. There is no law on the statute books now which permits the or ganization of farmers' co-operative banks, but the. rural legislators and farmers' union officers are looking ahead,to the time when there will be such a law. In the meantimethey think that farmers could go ahead and organize under the present bank ing laws, with rules and regulations limiting dividends on the stock and providing for the distribution of INVESTMENT SECURITIES LIBERTY BONDS Bought and Sold Mack's Bond House 1421 First Nat.
