Low Rate on Call

much of it, that although the charge
for the use of it was the lowest that
had been quoted fot a long time
nevertheless there remained some
S9.000.000 in the custody of the
hanks for which there was no de
mand. It was, however, a not unusual au
tomatic or reflex action which took
place on the following day. The New
York banks were supplied with
funds in vast amount, much of which
was sent from other parts of the
country. Presumably it was sent
here so that it might be loaned out
tipoh call at a rate which would fur
nish a fair profit. But because of the
plciitifuliiess of these funds and the

rmiWr.f large amounts of surplus funds
to New York became alarmed or dtssatts
fted because the rate charged for the
use of the money was so low. Therefore
tney began Instantly to withdraw these
funds. Presumably they expected to set
better returns for the use of the money
in other ways. As a result of these with
drawals the local rates for use of money
were at once Increased. At first 6 per
cent was asked and then 6ft, and at last
as much as vr cent.
One. reason perhaps fur the light de
mand for call money Is to b found in
the fact that the brokers are now doing
a very small business. If anyof thein
is able to place 10 share lots this, -4 re
garded as satisfactory. vSome ot the
brokers are in the blues. While there
Is a good deal nf trading In the security
market It Is chiefly confined to those who
make business of trading, among them
selves. The public is staying out. al
though the unusually low quotations for
many lines of securities whose intrinsic
value Is beyond question would ordinarily
tempt the publlo into the market.
Th (Juestlon of the-Tnies.
A canvass of the entire country which
was recently made by a Baltimore insti
tution brought forth an almost unanimous
statement that the chief matters of Im
portance that should be speedily deter
mined are the taxes and wage reductions.
All who replied to the inquiries spoke tn
approval of tho proposition that a tax
on sales of commodities be Imposed be
cause this would probably make Ps
a. very great reduction tn some of i lie
present tax rates. Apparently the feel
ing of the country Is In favor of the so
called sales tax proposition. although re
ports come from Was hlngton the t a con
siderable! number of the members of con
gress do not look with favor upon the
P,0bllc10snent.m.nt. ever. seems to be
unanimous In lavor of the repeal ot the

of this kind was found to b . harml

By ALEXANDER DANA NOYES.
New York, April 13. Since the
steel corporation's cut in prices was
not announced Tuesday until the
stock exchange had closed, expecta
tion Avas more or less prevalent that
shares of all the steel producing com
panies would break heavily in to
day's market. The expectation was
not entirely fulfilled. Declines run
ning to 1 or lyi per cent occurred in
these shares during the early hours,
but the greater part of the loss was
ecovered later and as a rule, the day's
net declines in them were unimport
ant. United States Steel itself ended
practically at the previous day's
closing.
It was the railway shares, concern
ing which there was nothing new to
affect the situation, whose weakness
was most marked and probably this
illustrated the character of the mar
ket as well as anything could have
1 'nrrtaintv i alwavs & more
potent influence in a highly specula
tive market tnan actual news, in mc
market of a year and a half ago, ev
ery uncertainty was construed as fa
voring higher prices; with the pres
ent absolute reversal of mood, Wall
street nowadays expects the worst
whenever it does not know what is
to happen next.
Respectable Advances.
There Is really no occasion for any
other comment on touay's market, m
whlqh. as a matter of fact, there waaj again
s respectable showing of advances to
offset the more numerous declines.
Today's foreign exchange market was
mixed in It. tendency. Sterling decl ned
to a rate 14 cent, below Tuesdays high
est, no doubt being Influenced by the
t retracted deadlock, In the British labor
negotiations, but French exohange closed
at the same rat. as the day before and
Italian exchange mad. another JPid
vance to the highest since last August.
Since the present yeas began, its value ha
Increased no less than 40 per cent.
The remarkable Inflow of gold continued
today. Nearly 16,000,000 arrived from
Denmark and announcement was made
ot 12,600,000 engaged for Import from
Australia. It is not clear how much of
the gold coming to us from the European
continent is melted up Russian coin and
how much gold is accumulated by states
contiguous to Germany from tho exports
of that country.
The price of wheat and corn reached a
new low level for the period. Future
contracts In wheat arc now below any
rrlce since the middle of 1916, but corn
for May delivery is at the lowest since
July, 1914.
Tlmo to Show Effect.
Tho effect of the steel corporation's re
duction of prices in the way of stimulat
ing trade will probably not be tested at
once. That there was need of a stimulus
may be sufficiently Inferred from the Iron
Age's remarks that lu proportion to
capacity, the operations at the country,
steel "works during March "were all tho
smallest rat. on record.'"
Cut prices as a dozen commodity

l no outcome in mo

wnetner customers wn uo l " -
for steel believe, or will come to believe,
that these are "bottom prices."
A closer survey of Tuesday's reduction
shows that the cut in steel billets, th"
standard product of the trade, has brought
the price to the lowest since February.
1916, but that even the reduced price of

and Industrial News of
Chicago Grjfin
By CHAHLES D. MICHAEXS.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Hce Issrd Wire.
Chicago, April 13. There appears
to be no bottom to the grain mar
kets. The lower prices go, the less
disposition there appears, to be to
buy. Demoralization is on and trad
ers who usually have plenty of nerve
are afraid, to buy. The continued
absence of investment buying and
the renewed liquidation by longs of
all classes, combined with the ab
sence of factors on which to base
investments, is the depressing factor.
New low levels were made for all
grains, with corn and oats the low
est at this time since April, 1913.
.Closing prices, while not at the
extreme inside, showed losses of 3j4
to 4c in wheat, with May leading.
Corn was off lri2c; oats off lfj
Vtc. Cash corn in western Iowa
is down under 30 cents and oats
down to 20 cents, while in Illinois
corn is selling at 43 cents. These
prices are below production costs,
yet few have the confidence to buy.
Strike New. Causes selling.
Strike news .from England was the
basis for much selling-. The trade
ttinored reports from France and Aus
tralia where drought prevails. It wa.
claimed that foreigners were buying
futures here on the drought reports, but
this was denied later.
Reports from Hutchinson, Kan., said
farmers and elevator men have at no
time been so minded to sell wheat as
now, Canadian farmers have th. sell
ing fever and are letting go freely. May
wheat at Winnipeg declined 7ctl.60.
Pressure here was on for May and the
selling of all months Was from start to
finish. Crop news was bearish and ev
erything tended to create distrust and
lower prices. Selling was led by, lead
ing elevator Interests and longs in gen
eral, while the buying was by shorts.
Corn was under pressure from tho same
Interests who were active In selling wheat.
Country holders who have carried hedge,
let go freely and the buying wa. mainly
to take profits on previou. sales. Prices
cut no figure.
Short. Buy July.
There was Immense buying of July to
cover trades. May was down to 64o
and closed at o above the Inside. Cash
prices were 2o lower, with shipping
sales 60.000 bushela Milwaukee and
Duluth sold corn for export at 2e under
May for No. 3 c. 1. f., Buffalo and boats
with 400,000 bushels have cleared for
eastern lake ports. Montreal wants corn
toy export at 9o over e. 1. f., Montreal,
for kiln dried. Arrivals were 82 cars.
Oats were under pressure from the same
influences as in other grains. May de
clined to 34 c. The heaviest buying
was by commission houses while locals
and longs sold. Parties who sold openly
bought under cover. Changing of hedge,
for the northwest was a factor. - Re
seeding In Iowa is on, and seeding la
nearing completion in South Dakota. Ex
port sales of 100,000 bushels were made
al the seaboard Tuesday. Cash lots lost
11 c, with sales of 100,000 bushels and
receipts of 66 cars. "
Closing spreads between wheat and rys
and liquidation sent rye prices down
lower than heretofore and May closed at
11.16. Export business was under way,
but it created little Interest.
Pit Notes.
Every holder of grain bought prior to
today has a loss. Cash prices for corn
and oats are the lowest In the country
since 1911. This. Is due to the high
freight rates which are over 60 per cent
from prewar times. Corn and oats are
so low that a number of the commission
houses are discussing the lowering of
commission rates on futures, which are
212.60 per 6,000 bushels to 17.60 on oats
and 210 on corn, while with wheat it Is
proposed to remain as It is. This will, if
carried, necessitate a reduction In borkers'
rates from 75c to 60c per 5.000 bushels.
Price Current Grain Reporter says:
"The soil condition la" reported almost
ontlrely favorable for the general growth
condition of farm crops in the states of
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, South
Dakota and Oklahoma. Considerable por
tions of the states of Iowa. Nebraska and
Kansas are reported too dry."
Thomas and McKlnnon say:
"Tariff legislation is expected to be en
acted this week. The contemplated bill
is operative In six months, therefore Its
passage will have more effect on the
July than on the May delivery. Liquida
tion of old wheat is going on, but export
Business wiy tana care or tne orrenngs.
Any chan ire tn cron conditions will ba
quickly reflected In the market.'
Keceipts or wheat at Minneapolis were
166 cars, compared with 172 last week and
143 last year. Duluth received 216 cars,
compared with 134 last week and 134 last
year. Winnipeg receipts were 122 cars,
against 600 last week and 131 a year ago.
George M. Lecount wires from Centcr
vllle, Kan.:
"Wheat Is starting In flnelhape. Crop
through this terrltory about on an aver
age. Last year nearly all the crop in
this territory winter killed. Threatened
rain."
Lata advices from London to leading
banks here say the strike situation is
not truly mirrored in the press, that labor
is running a bluff and a general walkout
Is no more Imminent than heretofore.
This Is reflected In the relative firmness
of Exchange.
The Corn Products Refining company
announced that Its plant at Argo. 111.,
has resmued operations. The refinery at
Edgewater, N. J.. Is aleo working, making
two big plants that ar operating. The
company has not yet decided when the
remaining refilling plant at Pekln will
start up.

New York Coffee.
New York, April 13. The market for
coffee futures was firmer today, owing to
indications that government purchases In
Brazil were beginning to show in th. rul
ing of the primary markets. There was
some further liquidation of May here, but
it was readily absorbed against sales ot
later month, at the prevailing differences,
and after opening unchanged to 7 point,
higher, active months sold about 13 to
15 points above last night's closing
figures, with May touching 6.90c and
July 6.32c. The close was within a point
or two of the best, showing a net ad
vance of 3 to 12 points. May, 5.86c; July,
6.29c; September, 6.69c; October, 6.82c;

New York Cotton.
New York, April 13. Less favorable re
ports of the British labor situation and a
sharp break in Liverpool had an unset
tling effect In the cotton market here at
the opening today. First prices were bare
ly steady at a decline of 11 19 points
under liquidation and southern and Liver
pool selling of near months. Some of the
Liverpool houses were buyers of later de
liveries, while there was also a moderate
demand believed to be for Japanese and
Wall street accounts, which soon steadied
the market. May sold up from 11.93 to
12.02c, and July from 12.52 to 12.60c. and
tho buying was encouraged, by reports of
a better tone In the goods markets. Liver
pool cable advices reported a better .pot
demand In the English market.
New York Sugar. y
New York, April 13. The raw sugar
market was easier for Cuban grades, with
the committee lowering its quotations to
th. basis of 4c, cost and freight, equal
to 5.77c for centrifugal, and reporting
sales of 20,300 bags to an operator at that
level. Uncontrolled sugar were un
changed at 5.64c for centrifugal, with no

South Side
Deaf Mutes Can't Savvy
'Dumb' Man; He's Pinched
A man appeared at the door of the
home of John Ttibrick, 4019 South
Thirty-fifth street.
He pleaded for aid for a deaf and
dumb itifferer.
The Tubricks are deaf and dumb.
They couldn't decipher the man'
sign language so resorted to writing.
, They suspecting something, and
while the wife was sent to get the
police, Tubrick kept the man occu
pied with long hand conversation.
The man faced Judge Dunn in
South Side police court yesterday.
He failed to speak or answer
spoken queries.
He wrote his name as George
Russell, Greenleaf, Kan.
But Judge Dunn gave him the
"double O" and chortled:
"I know you. I've seen you too
often at Central station. Now come
out of it. You're not deaf and you're
not dumb. Speak up!"
"Guilty," said the deaf and dumb
Russell and he got 30 days for vag
rancy. Local Market Not Affected
By Appointing of Trustees
The appointment of Former Sena
tor George Sutherland of Utah and
Henry W. Anderson of Richmond,
Va as trustees to handle the stock
of Armour & Co., and of Swift &
Co. held in the various itock yard
companies of the country will not
affect the local market in the least,
according to officials of the com
pany. -
But 28 per. cent of the stock of
the Omaha yards is owned by mem
bers of the packing concerns of
Swift & Co. and of Armour & Co.
and that stock is in the names of
members of the families of the two
companies.

In Vicinity of Elkhorn
Charles ' Saunders of Elkhorn
was a visitor at the stock yards yes
terday, bringing in a load of hogs.
Mr. Saunders said the freeze of last
Saturday and Sunday partly de
stroyed the early apples and plums,
cherries and peaches were iniured
in his neighborhood. He said the
late apples and grapes were all
right and there would be a bumper
crop in the fall.
