'j THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, MARCH 9, 19zxj. 10 OUTLOOK GOOD, ' BANKERS TELL IM LEAGUE CLUB Head and Corey Strike Opti mistic Note in Discussing Finance and Reconstruc tion Problems. W. W. Head of the Omaha Na ! tional bank and M. L. Corey of the Federal Land bank addressed mem bers of the Advertising and Selling League last night in the Hotel Fon tenelle, where the league held its regular, weekly meeting. , Both speakers struck an optimistic iote in their references to the finan cial outlook and the reconstruction problems which are confronting the country, this optimism having par ticular interest to Omaha, Nebraska and the middle west. 4 Co-operation Is Essential. "Fundamentally America is sound," Mr. Corey said. "Business men need not look with fear into. the i future, because our fundamental soundness will make all line of legitimate busi ness profitable. "The solution of our reconstruc- tion problems depends upon the ex ercise of that unselfish spirit of co operation which marked our con duet during the period of the war." Mr. Corey expressed the belief that before this country returns to normal conditions the peace treaty must be ratified in some form. ' "The public must recognize that the railroads should have a fair re turn," he added. "The railroad pro gram will be successful only if prop erly financed and it can be financed only in two ways: One is by taxa tion, which is improbable, and the other is by guaranteeing a fair re turn on railroad stocks so as to at- tract private capital." Labor Problem Big. t On the labor question he asserted, that some of the states are giving serious consideration to plans similar 'to the industrial court in Kansas. He stated that when a dispute be tween labor and capital reaches the point of a strike or a lockout, it is the duty of the sovereign state the state representing the people to provide a solution of this problem through properly organized courts. . Mr. Head . reviewed the financial conditions of this country as re lated to the war, referring to ths vast loans this country has made and he. contrasted the economic condi tion of this and other countries. With the vast resources of food products which this western country possess es, he drew a roseate picture of the , future.

THOlLtA Financial New York Financial News By NEW YORK TIMES. CMesco TribsBO-Osaaha Be Leased Wlr. New York. March 8 The stock market had thrills a plenty today, in eluding first a sharp fall of quota tion 9 and later a surging advance which exceeded 'anything seen in any preceding sOssion of the year, The basis of th day's spectacular developments wai the decison of the supreme court that stock dividends were not sitbject to the income tax, but supporting influences were not lacking in news affecting the rail roads and in the movements of for eign exchange. The great impor tance winch the stock trading com munity had imparted to the pending ruling on stock dividends for many months was impressed with emphai sis upon the market when ticker service through error announced early in 'the afternoon that the de cision had been unfavorable to re cipients of such disbursements. Still greater emphasis was disclosed when, the error teing corrected, in dustrial shares advanced from four to more than 40 points. Business broadened out rapidly in the last two hours of. trading. Ihere was evidence in heavy buying of several closely held stocks that a short in terest was in difficulties. At the same time, purchases were insistent in parts of the list that had been neglected for the last fortnight and altogether speculative sentiment was made more cheerful by the supreme court's action. . i Ruling: Brings Comfort. Considering railroad stocks, be sides the fill-up to speculative pur chases which came from the stock dividend decision followers of this department found discomfort in an other ruling of the court. The full value of the court's direction to the Interstate Commerce commission to accept current values of rights of way and terminals instead of origi nal costs in arriving at true valuation of railroad property cannot be vis ualized until definite figures are ar rived at. Nevertheless the ruling indicates tfeat appreciation of rail road realtor and the increased replacement- costs of terminal facili ties must be ' taken into account in arriving at a basis for fixing rail road revenue and this is decidedly worth while to holders of railroad stocks. The earners are hardly in terested directly in the stock divi dend matter. This concerns those corporations which have scored large profits from tTie production arid sale of goods, whose directors for years past have directed extra incorhe into new property or toward the development of. new markets. As the result of extraordinary earn ings since the war began, or even before 1914 these companies have accumulated large surpluses and the opportunity !now seems to be pre sented of giving stockholders some thing to represent part of these ac cumulations without adding to the burden of the latter through heavy income taxes. $1,250,000 Gold Coming.

MICHAELS. Chicago Trlbane-Omaha Be Lasted Win. . Chicago, March 8. Government report on farm reserves showed the most remarkable disappearance of grains during the past winter in th history of the trade. From July 1, to March 1, there was 646,000,000 bushels of wheat consumed or ex ported, compared with 590,000,000 bushels the previous season, al though exports have been 60,000,000 bushels less than last year, and sup plies at the beginning of the season were 57,000,000 bushels more. ., Consumption of corn aggregated 1,893,000,000 bushels in the past four months, or 131,000,000 bushels more than last year and 66,000,000 bushels in excess of two years ago, when supplies were 11,000,000 bushels in excess of two years ago, and com pared with 1,001,000,000 bushels last year. The two leading feed grains with supplies 497,000,000 bushels less than two years ago, showed a con sumption of 75,000,000 bushels more. Reserves of barley Avere also small. Farm Reserves Report The government report on farm reserves was about as expected, taken on the whole. Considered from the standpoint of the big ad vance in prices, it looks as though everythirig bullish has been dis counted. A few of the most success ful operators said after the close that the showing in corn had nothing to do with May corn. The showing on oats and barley was bullish. Wheat reserves while larger than recent years show heavy consumption. They are 165,539,000 bushels or 36, 833,000 bushels over last year.

Bullish Influences Prevail. - Bullish influences ' prevailed and with persistent buyine bv strong interests -especially, covering shorts m corn attributed to New -York prices advanced to the highest level on the present upturn and all corn futures except May showed the highest of the season. Net gains were 2 to 3 cents higher on corn 5-8 to 1 1-8 on oats, and 1-4 on May rye. ' , Efforts of the bears to check the bulge in corn were without avail, the lowest prices being made early and the highest toward the last. All deliveries with the exception of May sold at a new high on the croo. Numerous stoo loss orders were uncovered on the way up. It was easier to trace the selling than the buying. Many of the local traders sold heavily around $1.46 for May and profit-taking was strongly in evidence, but after the decision of the supreme court an nouncing that stock dividends were not taxable there was a stampede of the bears. Sample Values Unchanged. Sample values unchanged to 2 cents higher. Cash wheat dull, due to scarcity of offerings, but prices unchanged to 5 cents higher. No. 4 northern sold at $2.40. . Seaboard bids ad vanced 1 cent to $2.59 for No. 2 hard, track New York, prompt ship ment, but no sales were reported. Very little grain here unsold. While oat futures advanced with corn, to within a fraction of the highest price of the season the un dertone was distinctly heavy, due to persistent selling by longs. Clos ing trades were on a reaction of 5-83-4c from the top with May 84 l-4c and July 76 3-4c.

My HEART and My HUSBAND Adele Garrison's New Phase of Revelations . of a Wife What Happened When They "All Reached Home. My savage mood did not serve me Ions'. It changed to sheer panic as we turned into the driveway and I glimpsed the group on the veran da. With Jack Bickett in the mood he had shown on the way home, this little scene of Harriet Braithwaite's" setting had most unpleasant pos sibilities. Marion, in the seat beside me. looked up at me eagerly, but didn't speak, the desire in her eyes to be the stage manager of the surprise of which she knew only the surface. I snatched at the chance her child ish enthusiasm might have of giving the thing an air of just happening. "Go ahead, Marion, l said smil ing at ten She jumped up in the seat just as I drew the car to the steps of the veranda, and had thrown open the door of the tonneau before 1 had fairly stopped. . Surprise I Surprise! she called. "Grandma, Uncle Dicky 1 Every body! See what 1 ve brought you' Dicky, with' his usual delightful air of welcoming guests, had dashed down the steps as he caught sight of Jack and Katherine, and was help ing Katherine outof the car as he talked volubly. Dr. Braithwaite's Welcome? "Well! Well do you know about this?" he demanded. "Madge, you certainly put one over on us this time. Jack, old man, welcome to the ancestral seat of Richard Gra ham,-jr. Katherine, I'm mighty glad to see you. Come up to the mater. How glad she'll be to see you again!'1 . 1 hanks to Marion and Dicky the guests had been swept to the center of the veranda before they had a chance to see the Braithwaitcs. I shot a swift, frightened, guilt-shar ing glance at Harriet Braithwaitc, and was relieved to see that she was 1st Mortgage Farm Loans Obtainable in Denomina tion $500-$1,000 6 1st Mortgage City Real Estate Bonds Danomittations $100, $800 and $1,000 W belter - these securities meet with th rqniremnts of th most con errs tir in Testers. f Tut Fre In Nskraaka OMAHA TRUST CO.

There was no need to look to see the effect the unexpected guests had upon Dr. Braithwaitc. As he caught sight of Katherine his face lit up, his eyes fairly danced with pleasure, and lie strode toward her, both hands outstretched, shoving Dicky to one side with, one movement of his mighty shoulders. , "Katherine Sonnot!" he exclaimed. 'Welll Well! Well!" The expletives boomed out like the explosions of small artillery. He had seized Katherine's small hands in his own big ones, and was shak ing them up and down vigorously, gazing down at her the while as if, Dicky declared afterward, "she were something off, the Christmas tree that Ed had wanted a long time." A Dark Frown. : "Harriet!" He turned toward his wife, who, indeed, was at his elbow, smiling with just the right air of welcome "Dqf you see who's here? Our own little girl, who helped us out so royally! I suppose I don't dare kiss her now she's a staid old Benedictess, or what they call the feminine of Benedict, but you can make up for nic." "I'll do my best. Edwin," she laughed back, and then her arms went round Katherine in a close em brace, and I knew that the kiss she gave her was one of genuine affec tion. For Harriet Braithwaite nor any other woman of average mentality and common sense could have mis taken the greeting which big Dr. Braithwaite had given Katherine, Bickett for anything else t,han what it was genuine fatherly pleasure in once more seeing a girl who had worked shoulder to shoulder with him through the greatest cataclysm the world had ever known, and who had nursed both himself and his wife through dangerous illnesses. There had not been a single trace of self consciousness in the greeting. It had been a genuine outburst of the big physician's real feelings. I knew that for Harriet Braith waite the questionof the nature of her husband s affection for Kather ine which had made a hell of her life for so many months was forever settled. But what did Jack Bickett think of it? I looked at him furtively, fearfully, I had caught one glimpse of his ugly mood, and I knew orriy too well his old jealously of Dr. Braith waite, the misery he had caused Katherine on account of it, both be fore her marriage' and after it. ' I had not dared to look at him when Dr. Braithwaite had made that jo cose reference to a kiss, and hoped that he had not heard it, but when I saw his icy eyes and dark frown I knew that we were in for an ex plosion.
