Chicago, April 17. Opposition to
higher prices for grains was less,
marked and prices advanced and, al
though meeting profit-taking on the
hard spots, the finish' favored hold
ers on the whole. Corn closed un
changed ' for May, Jc lower for
July and c higher for September
with the weather an important cen
ter. , Oats closed 'Zc higher with May
unchanged for July and He higher
for September.
Rye closed 'Ac lower apd barley
strong at the top with gains of lc
to iy2c. Lard had a setback and
closed ISc lower, while ribs gained
ZYiz and pork lost 35c for the day.
Week of High Prices.
It has been a week of blgTicst prices
of the season with net gains on Corn. of
2Ho to 344c, oats Ho to l'Vio on the near
futures and 3 Ho higher on September,
rvn Ho. in fiUn hicrlinp h..liw 41'.. I.lt.n
while In provisions gains were 30o to ssil
on porn, t.ic to coc on lard and 25c to
i'ihic on short ribs.
Kfforta on the part of the bear to
depress cdrn prices as th result of the
reports of a settlement of the rail strike
wera without much success. At the In
side figure May was off lc, but the
close was sjrlthln a fraction of the top
on all deliveries, with September showing
a small net gain.
Persistent buying by strong commission
houses was a factor in checking the
break, while the selling was mainly of a
local character.
Large receipt of grain are expected
next week. Sample values Via lower to
lo higher. .
May Oats Higher
May oats showed unmistakable signs
of congestion and averaged higher. Clos
ing of spreads between Chicago and Win
nipeg was responsible for the strength
here. The cancelation of oats by France
has weakened the position of the longs.
In Winnipeg, but has failed to help the
snorts ncre. a leading local professional
was a free seller of September. Wet and
cold weather over the belt and renewed
reports of delayed seeding caused com
mission house buying and the finish was
within He of the top.
Rye was bought by cash houses who
absorbed the offerings from scattered
longs and the close was firm, Exports
asked for offers of cash grain from the
west. Mo. 2 on track nominally 2c over
May.
Barley offerings wore small and prices
unchanged. Spot sale were at $1.60

Chicago Tribune-Omaha, lie I.euaed Hre.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha ltee Leased Wire.
New York, April 17. Evening up
operations at the end of the week
had the effect today merely of
throwing stocks into a great deal
of irregularity. At the close of busi
ness about as many issues recorded
gains as the number which lost
ground, changes being fractional in
the main.
There was some upbidding of oil
shares and a few specialties, the
movement being confined chiefly to
those which had been fairly bouyant
the day before. Before trading end
ed profit-taking took the tops off
the more prominent groups, leaving
either net declines or only meager
portions of the earlier improvement.
Looking back over tbo week's business
it could be said that while speculation
was subjected to various unfavorable In
fluences, Includlitg tight call money and
the depressing effect of the railroad
strikes, the undertone of prices remained
moderately firm. Steel common left off
today tt point lower than on the preced
ing Saturday and such erratic Issues as
Baldwin Locomotive and Crucible Steel
were not far removed from the quotations
recorded eight daya before.
It may be result of tho strikes cast only
a shadow of Its retarding force over busi
ness and that later will be more reflection
of developments which have nearly closed
down certain branches of Industry. For
tunately, the Indications are for an early
improvement of freight traffic movement
throughout the country and it is to be
hoped that the delivery and payment for
gooas now ilea up in lactery yards or on
the railroads will soon proceed smoothly,
releasing much needed credit.
As In no other strike the hardship
caused the general public as well as in
dustry has been emphasized by the pres
ent disturbance, and it is not beyond the
bounds of reason to believe that groups
or labor win learn a lesson that will be
f much benefit in future events affect'
ing the country s productive life.

- International New Service Staff
Correspondent. ,
London "Ireland has been
trayed in the past y both
the older political parties the
liberal and the unionist and
through the failures of past govern
ments the labor party has1 now be
come the custodian of the last hopes
of those Irishmen who look to Eng
land for assistance in the practical
realization of the popular demand
for the control of their affairs."
That is the statement of Arthur
Henderson, M. P., secretary of the
labor party, which believes that the
Irish-question can be setHed only
by granting full independence.
"Labor will take no part or lot
in another betrayal of the Irish
people; nor will it, acquiesce in a
further withholding of that which is"
the symbol of national political lib
erty," said Henderson, who is look
ed upon as one of the labor aspirants
for the British premiership.
Henderson, in reviewing labor's
opportunty in the new Parlia
mentary session, believes Lloyd
George's coalition government is
headed for the rocks.
Requires New Policy.
"What the country requires," ays
Henderson, "is a policy that will
keep together not the present gov,
ernment, hut the frtst elements of
the whole community, that will ad
vance not the small interests of a
combination of politicians, but the
tiest interests of all the freedom
oving nations within the British
commonwealth, and which will main
tain the British nation m the fore
front of the peaceful nations of the
world. ' -
"The present government has
failed so far to provide such a pro
gram, and continued failure in this
direction will but spur the labor
party during the coming session to
even more determined and effective
opposition. i -
"As to Ireland, the labor party
has fortified itself with information '
obtained by a special mission which
recently visited Ireland This com
mission discovered that , the prime
minister's scheme has hardly a
single friend in Ireland, On all'sides
it was aescriDea as quite mcapauie
of solving the problem of Irish self
'gpvernment." Whether this session proves fate
ful in tU rrvVttfn ofAvpfnmpflf rle--
pends according to Mr. Henderson,
on the program of business Lloyd
George puts forward.
Can't Redeem Promises. '
"It is difficult to imagine," Hen
derson stated, "that the coalition
will introduce a program soadical
in its ournose and wide in its scope
as to stem the tide which is threat
ening to sweep the coalition out of
office. Coalition members are pris
oners of their own election promises,
many of which it is humanly im
possible for them to redeem.
"The question of the high cost of
living remains unsolved. The labor
party cannot remain satisfied with a
policy that merely tinkers with the
problem, and the promised bill to
amend the profiteering act will not
meet with the approval of labor un
less it provides drastic remedy for
the root evil of profiteering."
"With regard to the nationalizing
of the coal mines, there seems to be
little ground for expecting the gov
ernment to advance far from their
declared position. It will be useless
for the government, to attempt to
buy off the labor movement by
offering some weak and half-hearted
measure which fails to give effect to
the broad principles of the Sankey
report."
