By HOLLAND. ,
Commenting a year ago upon the
outlook, one of the wisest of all who
have had long experience in finance,
tanking and constructive undertak
ings, said, "The United States is a
very great and very rich nation. It
is, almost the only one which U
bounded on the east by an ocean
and also upon the west by another
ocean. Its resources, especially
those which await development, are
of almost fabulous riches. It ii
necessary, however, at this time, if
this conntry is to take full advantage
of its opportunities, that there should
be Called into service, both public
and domestic service, the best brains
in the country, I am sorry to say
that J we are not now getting the
service of the best brains. Some
thing like mediocrity seems to have
the call. I hope to see the best
brains of the country brought into a
community of interest, for when' "that
i done "we shall have prosperity."
Would Mobilize Ability. .
This man, who is now in his 80th
year and whose name is a synonym
for sagacity, foresight and the main
tenance of an honorable business
conscience, is today of the sami
opinion which he expressed one year
ago. He wants ilia best ability of
(he country to be mobilized, so to
speak, and h referred especially to
the need of. united, -actiqi) of th.it
kind if the railroad- problems are t
be satisfactorily .answered. -
. T?,"!1 ,h Vw "hlch taken' by
J-avlea Warfteld, who I greatly concerned
ivartht railroad atttiaMon -and wha rap

Warfleld It reported to be strongly in
favor of the eraatloit of ah organisation
national In Ita acope, whole- m amber a .are
to be the managers of alt th greater
rellwaya of tne United State and nrob
ably many r the smaller' railroads
,Vn organisation -of this kind would
aurely bring Into tta association the abloat
railway minds of the country active K a
unit. As an organisation tt would have
not merely advisory powers,- but a1o full
power, . o that, its decisions would be
obeyed by the. railroads of- the ooimtrv.
Of course, the fiuention of rates would be
left for the Interstate Commerce com
mission to determine. Ttut nn nrvnin.

be of Influence In . enalillng h. commis

of Mr. Vrfield and- ol others, it for the
railway managers to recognUo fully actual

By ALEXANDER DANA NOYES.
Chicago Trlbuoe-Omahsi Bee Leased Wire.
New York, March 30. After the
recovery of Tuesday on the tele
phone company's increased dividend,
today's stock market declined again.
Changes in prices were irregular, but
the market s general unsettlement
was occasioned by resumption of the
speculative program of converging
pressure on three or four industrial
snares and selecting for such pur
poses, a different group on different
days. International Harvester stock,
for instance, was driven down 10
points on the basis of highly indefi
nite rumors about, new financing
which the company denied. There
were declines of I -to 3 points in
other industrial shares, hut as a gen
eral rule the day's losses were not
important.
Call money went to 7 per cent
again today for the first time since
March 18. The application for only
part of New York City's offering
of $5,000,000 bonds and $-12,000,000
short term revenue bills did ' not
throw a particularly favorable light
on the immediate money or invest
ment situation. This was apparent
ly a result partly of the fact that the
offering was large when investment
houses are already pretty well stock
ed with new securities, but partly al
so to the restriction of the interest
basis to 6 per cent.
In March, last year, a similar amount
of sort term Mew York olty obliga
tions were placed on a basis of 6.95 per
cent, at a time when similar United
States treasury Issues commanded 41 per
cent; today the treaaury is paying 6j
per cent and 6?4 per cent. Foreign ex
change advanced again with an Increased
business, sterling at $3.93 M, touching a
new high rate for the yoar.
Rail bharea React.
Sharea of the rail companies reacted
from the advance of the preceding day.
In this they merely followed the mar
ket's general trend, but perhaps thulr
action reflected doubt as to the prac
tical significance of a discussion . of tha
railway question in the cabinet at Wash
ington. It Is. In fact, not olear that the
administration can outline any definite
policy. Politically, It haa a large mane
In the solution of the problem, because
revival of prosperity, which always han
dicapped a new administration, depends
both on maintenance of earning power ly
enterprlaos whose securities are involved,
directly and Indirectly, the savings of
millions of citizens and on the lowerlnir
of railway ratea While still maintaining
railway solvency, the government more
over set forth In the 1930 railway act.
a dlstinoe purpose in regard to raising ade
quate earnings and the purpose haa thus
far failed, although through no fault of
the companies.
All this lays something of responsi
bility on congress; but it leaves It a mat
ter of complete obscurity as to what con
gress User can do about If.
But One Remedy.
From tho practicable viewpoint more
depends on the railway labor board than
on any other body. In laying atress on
the abaolute necessity of reducing operat
ing costs and in showing frankly that
such reduction must be made primarily
in cost of railway labor, the chairman rf
the senate railway committee points' to
the only obvious remedy and that is
why a congressional Inquiry will help.
But In the last analysis the labor boaid.
which granted the $600,000,000 Increase
of wages last July on the explicit ground
that auch Increase was essential to off
set a rising cost of living and to adjust
railway wages to the wages of other in
dustries, is bound to recognize three in
disputable ractt that It is not possible
for the railways to continue auch a rata
of pay; that wages have already been
reduced some 2 per cent in other tn-
dustriea similarly placed, and that tlie
government's labor bureau, which last
June averaged pricjs at J72 per cent nore
than in 1913, now rackons last month's
average as only 67 per cent above the
prewar year. ' (

New York, March SO. There was Wall

an open advance of 6 S 1 6 points in the
cotton market today. This - was encour
aged by tho firmer showing of tho Eng

here and after advancing to 12.88c, July
sold off to 12.80c, while May reacted
from 12.40O to 12.30c with the general

Initial gains,
Private cables reported a better tone
in Liverpool, but prices Uiere eased light
after the opening here.

cline of Vi to 3 cents, with the bulk
2 cents off. Oats were off Vj cents.
Rye was lower, but not euongh to

The Price Current Grain Reporter
says "Conditions arc almost entirely
favorable throughout the states of
Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, South
Dakota and Oklahoma, but largely
too wet in Ohio; some localities are
too dry in Iowa and a considerable
portion of Nebraska and Kansas also
report too dry; growth conditions
consequently are unusually favor
able. No material damage has thus
far occurred by fly or bus, al
though reports indicate possibility of
such damage. Basing the govern

Chicago Grain
By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Ilea leased Wire.
Chicago, March 30. Liquidation
and lower prices for all grains, with
corn the lowest since October, 19k",
and oats lowest since August, 191 5,
featured the grain markets today.
The close was at the inside, with
wheat off 3((4 3-4c, corn, 2 l-4l.S-8
oats, 1 3-SC'U 5-8c and rye, 2(i2 l-8e,
Support was poor and it was a case
of . lack ot confidence and poor cash
demand for wheat and corn here and
of stop loss selling.
Crop news on wheat was mainly
of a reassuring nature. There were
advices from the southwest of some
damage from freezing and green
hugs, but the majority of the advices
were favorable. This, with the break
in corn and the poor cash demand
from millers, scared buyers out. The
seaboard reported no export demand
early and later said that Italy, in ad
dition to buying Argentine and Man
chnrian, had taken a cargo at the
gulf, and Spain had bought two car
goes there. In all, it was claimed that
1,000,000 bushels had been bought
for export on the break and futures
bought against it here.
Break tn Corn.
The brea.k in corn n.19 largely respon
ultile for the weakness In wheat. Opera
tors who covered Tuesday were the active
sellers ard the wheat came out in streams
from all qunrsers at times. Houses with
New York mnnectlons sold heavily and
bought on the hronli. A larwo cotton
cperalor sold July which he look on the
)revinus ,)uv T.miir ,-,u-n ,-.,, In
great volume from the sturt ,-ind espo
cinlly after the .May touched 3 as it
ran Into nop loss orders which Kept the
corn coining all tho time until the prl-
reached 61 Inc. While a Urge psrt of the
soiling was attributed to the leading ele
vator Interests, there wna also buying on
the breaks credited to them.
May oats, in breaking to 38lo. made a
new low record, the lowsl in slv years.
Liquidation and local scfling with little
resistance featured (he trading. Crop
news, In the main was favorable,
with a good demand from the south and
east with 100,000 bushels, sold at prices
unchanged to lo lowor. Ttecelpta were
only 44 cars. Cash premiums on No. 2
white were lNiiSl-Hc over Mav.
Buying of May and selling July rye and
tho revi-rsn with buying May Btralght and
scattered selling of July by traders fea
tured the market. Prices dropped 24(j
SVjc, with a small rally at the close.
Pit Notes.
Grain markets were seml-deniorallzed
during the last Imlf of today's seaslon.
lluyers tacked confidence, while sellers
were aggressive and pressed their ad
vantage strongly. The general feeling
was that corn and oata are going lower,
although there may be some rally from
tha present jvel. Llvwmore, the New
York trader who wfos credited with being
a large buyer of July wheat tljres days
ago, sold out and thr others who were
afraid of further losses lot go. There has
been a larjrn holding of job lots of corn
by the country, who have refused to sell.
The past few days has changed their
minds, and they have liquidated freely,
depressing tho price for May rrom Up
over lo even with Muy price, for a time.
This added to rthe depression.
John Inglis 'wired from Chlckashaw,
Okl: ,
"Genera! ro'ndidon ot wheat and oats
good. No (la mace bv frost. Sufficient
number of green bugs In fields to still
make them menace to crop, but very
doubtful if they do any serious damage."
Receipts of wheat at .Minneapolis wore
196 cars, compared with 175 last week and
205 cars . last year. Duluth received 9
cars, rnmlpared with 78 last week and 47
last yeuW ,
Wlnniijes- recelnts were 138 rar, com
pared with 205 cars last week and 271
cars a ycar ago.
The Trice Current Grain Reporter says

considerable portions of Nebraska and
Knnaas also "too drv."
Members of the Hoard of Trade wiU
vote, on April' 1 on tho proposition to
change tho ruin regarding contract bar.
ley. Tt is proposed that No. 2 barlev
will be deliverable at contract price with
No. 1 also acceptable and No. 3 will be
legal tender : 1 5c 'discount. "' This is the
same as present rule., but an addition is
propoaed, making No. 3 bav brewing
mixed and No. 2 Chevalier mixed, de
liverable at 7c discount.
One of the causes ot the break in corn
was the liquidation of May by country
longs. This corn waa going out on stop
lops orders and in many cases was being

Shown in Middlewest,
Bank Statement Says
Chicago, March 30. Hesitancy it
again manifest in business in the
middlewest, according to the state
ment of the Federal Reserve ban k
vi the Seventh district, issued today.
This is due, the report said, to tm-i
certainty caused by high retail
prices of necessities, curtailed build
ing operations, the attitude of wage .
earners in resisting wage cuts, dc- .
laved liquidations of farm holdings, '
1 he heavy demand .for . money and
high interest. ' t
"The last few weeks, there has.
been a falling off in the movement
of all grains from the farm," the
report states. . "Mild weatfier has '
caused the farmer to turn his at- ,
tention to spring, preparations of
crops. There also has been a con
siderable reduction in the average
price of farm lands under cultiva- 4
tion. Improvement has been noted
in practically all reports from the
automobile industry." '
