Chicago Tribune-Omaha He Leased Wir New York, April 15 The stock market presented- a study in con flicting forces today, centered about the call money rate. In the morning the price trend was upward until the initial money quotation disclosed an 8 per cent renewal rate, which, be ing higher than for several -weeks, denoted a further stiffening of quo tations before the day's demand was filled. Thereafter a rather broad selling movement developed among indus trial issues, but it seemed as though l-the potency of high interest rates was lessened within an hour and the market experienced no increase of pressure when 15 per cent was quot ed in the " money crowd" on the Exchange. 1 In the final half-hour a substantial rally developed, lifting many stocks from their lowest levels and leaving the list with a airly firm appearance at the close. Speclalites Active. Speculative aentlmant was colored by the thought that If per cent money, the highest sine the second week of March, recorded perhaps the h'.Rhest water mark of tight credit caused by April 16 inter est and dividend disbursements. Several specialties wer lifted to new high paint by concerted buying of the sort which prerededj and bad a part In conservative Wall striet thought In precipitating the break of price last November. Call money closed at 13 per cent and substantial of ferings wer reported not taken at this level. The rise of the Bank of England's dis count rata 4o 7 per rent, had no direct effect upon seaurlty . operations here, but was viewed as a practical demonstration of the advancing coat of money In many countries. The British bank notified the London market that the bid prlc of money to be used in Industry and for other purposes must be Increased in ac cordance with a world-wide movement. Readjustment In England. It means a readjustment of credit con ditions In Great Britain and follows the lead of th Bank of France recently and of the Bank of Belgium also. The coat of doing business will Increased, which is an experience that the United State , is passing through, aa recorded by the high Interest rates on recent first grade capital Issues. . In -1914, th Bank of England rate ros to 10 per cent in August, the product of financial demoralisation which ac companied th outbreak of war, but ahort ly went back to I pa cent and remained there until an advance to 6 per cent was made last November. . , :On th few occasions that the bank a rate has ever gone to 7 per cent or above, there has been .financial distress somewhere In the world, but on this oc casion normal processea are at work, brought about by th tremendous flnano ing of the war and extraordinary de mands upon credit since the armlstlc was signed. In other periods, even a moderate Increase of the rate has re sulted in a flow of funds to London, en tailing frequently, gold exports from the United States. Such an event Is not loi ked for now and advices from the British center suggests that there may not be much of a reflection in the aterling exchange market. .... Sterling scored a gain of 10 after business got under way, which may or may not have come from the increased bank rate. Later all the rise was lost except He. The continental exchanges were heavy. Lire declined 62 pointa to 23.02c and francs, 28 points to 16.38c. tvVl York 'r April IS.; -Higher; 23,140 4Bc; Froduee. , Butter Firm; un- Eggs Nominally unchanged. Cheese Firm; unchanged.

' ' Wheat is making a general Improvement and etoollng well in the northern half of lu r. "luun " " eastern counties the tips of the leaves axo brown from th recent celd anap. In the southeastern and south central counties wheat is thin on the ground and while It is showing considerable Improvement this week, it still lacks vitality as a result of the tin favorable conditions last (all and winter. In the southwestern cotmttea where th ground is dry wheat Is Just about hold ing its own. In the northwestern coun ties it Is furnishing much pasture ' for stock. In the south central and western parts the ground was generally in good shape and plowing and discing made ex cellent progress. Som corn was planted In the- central counties along the Okla homa line and sowing barley Is still un der way In the western counties. Oata are generally up in the eastern halt and the stands fair to good and in shape to make satisfactory growth when warm weather comes.

All deliveries of corn, oats, rye and barleyold at new high figures on the crop today and closed within a fraction ot the top. 'Sentiment underwent a decided change, the sudden development of an acute shortage in supplies of bread grains in Jburope more than offsetting the reports of a mate rial betterment in the strike situa tion on the western railroads. Corn closed with a net gain of Hs2c; oats, lc, and rye, 44c. Lard gained 57H6Sc, ribs, 42j452ttc and pork, 70c$l per barrel. Corn wss bought by scattered commis sion houses and sold by longs and the pit element, but stoploo orders were un covered on the way up, and a general move to cover carried prices up rapidly, the (lay's range being l433fte, the latter on the July. Strong commission houses wore heavy btiyera of September oats and they sold at record figures tn this market. Th May July apread narrowed lttc as a house that usually acts for the leading French buyer sold the former freely, presumably a re flection ot the cancellation of sales ot cash grsln the previous day. Th acute shortage In supplies in all markets, especially In tho east, combined with delayed seeding and re"ports that seed was rotting in the ground were the bullish Influences., Cash oats in store at New York sold at around $1.35 and lightweight mill oats at S1.21. Bids of J44 over July, track New York, were made for No. 2 white, 30-dny shipment, equal to 8c over May, track Chicago. Export de mand for cash wheat and rye was very brisk, with bids on wheat advanced to $3.03, track New York, while No. 2 rye sold at 35c over May f, o. b. vessel, New York, for June loading, an advance of to over recent purchases, A leading Minneapolis short attempted to buy May barley here and ran the price up tb 3tio with the close at the top.

Opposed to Bosses and Special Privileges But for Individual Rights DEI IS., MM Republican Candidate for Governor i i Hear Him Talk in Omaha Next Saturday Night WHO EtIOTED I SOM? There would have been no "Article Ten" if Wilson had not been re elected in 1916. There might not even have been a world's war if Wilson had not . been re-elected in 1916. ' Wilson would not have been re-elected in 1916 if he had not carried California. He would not have "carried California if Hiram Johnson had been as loyal to the republican party as he was to Hiram Johnson. , California decided the 1916 election and Hiram Johnson decided California.- . The figures speak for themselves. Johnson, running for senator, car ried California in 1916 by 266,815 votes and Wilson carried it that same year by 3,773 votes. Jdhnson was then a regular republican nominee, but personal grievances overcame party loyalty and the nation has had to pay the price ever since. . The Republicans must win! ...... ;i'The Republicans will winf.?:; j ..- ,:r- But the Republicans can never and will never win with Hiraiii Jplm son as their nominee. , . ' ; ' a A Confidential Letter From L D. Richards Fellow Republicans; Ladies and Gentlemen : I am, through no fault of my own, a candidate for delegate at large to the Chicago Republican Convention and personally favor Leonard Wood for president, but if elected will sup port Nebraska's preferred candidate if it shall fce other than Wood, al though I hope that such preferred can didate will not be Mr. Ross of Lexing ton or Hiram Johnson of California, for the reason that Mr. Ross, urider , certain conditions might be the candi date for William Jennings Bryan and Mr. Johnson is responsible for Mr. Wilson's re-election, he (Johnson) carrying California by something over two hundred thousand votes for Sena tor while Hughes lost the electoral vote by a few thousand. In extenua tion, Mr.. Johnson said that Mr. Hughes did not understand the politi cal language of California, but the fact remains that Johnson double crossed Hughes in 1916. Such action in politics and business does not appeal to me. . ' General Pershing has not a better friend in the United States than I am, , this friendship dating back to his de tail at the University, for, which detail Pershing at the time gave me credit through . my old Colonel, Redfield Proctor, who was then Secretary of War. Pershing is reported to have said that he was not a candidate for the Presidency, that he was an army man. Nebraska will have sixteen dele gates in the Chicago Convention four delegates at large and two from each of the congressional districts. The Pershing Managers have se lected four delegates at large and dis trict delegates and will recommend the General's supporters to vote for these men at the primaries A'pril 20. ' The Wood people present the names of four delegates at large and two ' in each congressional district, asking the support of these delegates by all republicans who favor Leonard Wood for President. Now comes the Hiram Johnson interest and it has selected three of the four Wood delegates , at large, placing the name of another instead of my name and recommending that the Johnson people support such dele gates named, leaving me an orphan so far as the Johnson people are con cerned. , This, it seems to me, is not a time when the people should allow personal friendship to govern, but should unite in supporting a candidate who is not afraid to stand up and be counted. If these ideas, meet y6ur view, I would be pleased to have your support and I hope you can support the other Wood delegates whose names follow. : Sincerely yours . I " , L. p. RICHARDS.
