Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, April 8. Lower prices
for grains and provisions, especially
the latter, which sold at the lowest
sirice 1915, featured tha trading Fri
day. Business was largely local, with
disturbing labor conditions in Eng
land a factor in shaping sentiment.
Buying support most of the day was
poor and all strong spots called out
increased selling pressure. While
closing trades were at a fair recov
ery from the inside on wheat, there
were losses of 1 l-42c, with May
leading. Corn and oats closed at
around the lowest prices, with corn
off 3-8l-2c, ' oats, l-84-8c; rye,
3-87-8, while barley gained 1c.
A good business was on in sellititr
of May and buying of July at 22 1-2
23c difference. May was on sale
freely early when prices were high
est and the same interests took it
back at under 41.34, while the day's
raige ' was $1.33 1-2U6 3-4. The
close was at $1.341.34 1-2. July at
its best was $1.11 1-41.14 1-4, with
the finish at $1.11 3-41.12.
May Com Declines. .
Corn- was pressed on, sale more freely
and price for May declined from 60 Ho
to 59sc. with the finish at 69?c to
697ic. Buying was attributed to local
elevator interests wo took May and July,
while selling waa scattered. The break
In provisions had a depressing effect. Ex
port eales of 125.000 bushelB at the sea
board. 300.000 bushels at Milwaukee and
200,000 bushels at Duluth at 2c under Chi
cago, May ct 1. f. Buffalo, failed to have
any effect. Arrivals were 108 cars and
the weeks exports were, 1,983.000 bushels
against 56.000 bushels last year.
Local selling based on favorable crop
reports depressed oats values, while the
buying was scattered. May ranged at
37 &e to 87(c, with the finish at 874e
to 37c. No. 2 white in ihe sample
market sold at 2o over May early and Hjo
over later. Arrivals were 60 cars and ship
ping sales 75,000 bushels, with prices He
lower
While there were exporter after rye.
there were alto offers here at outsldo
points that were not all accepted. Soma
export business was done, but not given
out. Seaboard houses bought September
at a good spread. Cash premiums held
well.
Tit Note. i
Depressing factor In the wheAt u.arket
we're the favorable crop reports, the bad
labor. sltURtlon in England and uneasiness
In Germany and above all an unconfirmed
report that exporters were re-selllng wheat
at the seaboard. This more than offset
the effect of the large export Duying ana
after the close it was reported that 1,
000.000 bushels had ben sold for export, a
large part of which had been bought for
May here.
The trade was tn a mood to accept all
unfavorable reports and to make light of
those 6f a constructive character. There
were sales of 25,000 bushels red wheat
at Toledo at 25o over Chicago, May track,
Baltimore, and Kansas City sold 80,000
bushels for export. In tlio aouthwest, of
ferings of wheat weie large and a good
business was done at the gulf for export.
The movement has Increased with pri
mary arrivals of 1,042,000 bushels, more
than double last year's, and tho week's
clearances of 4?61 2,000 bushels compared
with 2.889,000 bushels last year.
Domestic shipping sale at Chicago
were 60,000 bushels Cora and 76,000 buah-
els oats. '
Premiums oh red winter wheat were ic
i.... chiron. with No. 2- on track
selling at 66o over May, while No. 2 hard

Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
New York, April 8. The obscuri
ty which surrounds the money situa
tion was emphasized today by a re
newed advance of call money on the
stock exchange to 7 per cent, which
had not been touched since Wednes
day of last week. This abrupt re
turn to. the level made familiar in the
period of stringency was variously
explained in Wall Street in general,
by reference to the disposition of an
interior market with balances at New
York banks to call them home when
the rate for demand loans bicomcs
less inviting.
This is not in all respects a con
clusive explanation, ( when leaders
have for some time past been cut
ting under the stock exchange rates
in their offerings on the street, but
it doubtless had its influence. This
afternoon's federal reserve state
ments will either clear up .the situa
tion or further confuse it, as the
case may be.
Weakness General.
Irregular weakness again prevailed on
the slock market, with rather numerous
declines of 1 to 2 points, partly recovered
before the close. In general, however, the
davs changes were (mall and there were
some advances. It was insisted mat me
English labor crisis was me oommnm in
fluence, but If so its main effect was to
suppress activity. Transactions on the
stock exchange fell to the smallest total
since February 7, and in tne present niuvu
of Wall Street, tne renewal oi i fi
money would be . larger motive for specu
lative selling than any turn in the foreign
complications short of a bolabevlst capture
of the English labor unions.
That the das's decline in sterling ex
change was a consequence of the coal
trade Imbroglio Is entirely probable. The
complete tleup of England's industry,
such as some cable dispatches has imag
ined, would naturally derange the ma.
chinery of International commerce, "hat
actual probability exist of any such out
come of the dispute, every one Is at pres.
ent entitled to Judge for himself, Tha
outcome of a long series of similar inci
dent, however, has pointed pretty n
ly to the tact inai me ia.uur
as here, are perfectly aware( both of
their own statte which would our wHb.
suspended industry, and of the llraita
which the public itself imposes on con
cessions by the government.

California Fruit
Men Find ater
Way to East Cheap
Cost of Sending Fruit-Laden
Vessel Through Canal to
N. 50 Per Cent Less
Than by Rail.
By HOLLAND.
When California sent a iteamer to
Xew York whose cajgo was gome of
the fruits of that state by way of the
Panama canal it was in that way
demonstrating a - departure from
methods hitherto prevailing and this
demonstration of itself goes far to
ward proving the accuracy of reports
which have been within a few days
brought to New York by some of
those who have been sojourning three
or four months in California. The
steamer was laden chiefly with
oranges and lemons. Until within a
few weeks these fruits would have
been brought to New York and to
nther eastern centers by rail. The
fruit growers' associations and other
organizations some years ago made
traffic agreements with the railroads.
There followed a wide distribution
throughout the country and especial
ly in the east of the products of the
California orchards.
Experimental Test.
Recently because of the increase
tn ratp which the interstate com
merce commission permitted, the at
tention of the California fruit grow
ers was turned to the feasibility of
and economic benefits in the trans
portation of their products all the
way by water to the eastern ports.
An evneritnental test Was made 8
few weeks ago and it was satisfac
tory. Thereupon the California fruit
growers sent another large consign
ment of fruit to New York by way
of tlie Panama Canal. The fruit ar
rived in New York a day or two ago
in excellent condition and was speedi
ly marketed by the autioneers to the
wholesalers. '
11 rroorts are correct the expense
entailed by the water shipment was
about SO per cent less than the
urtre ttrmilrl have been made had
the fruit been shipped by rail. How
far the consumers will be benefited
by this decreased cost remains to be
discovered after it is known what
charges the retailers place upon this
fruit.
