New York, April IS. The sudden
occurence of the three incidents dis
tinctly favorable to the financial sit
uation, all of them unexpected, had
immediate effect on today's markets.
Nothing has been more evident of
late in all speculative markets than
the fact that an unfavorable outcome
in every doubtful phase of the situa
tion appeared to be anticipated.
Among these points of uncertainty
was the reserve system's discount
rates, the railway labor board s action
in the matter of railway wages and
rules of service and the controversy
of the" British labor union with the
Y'a'lmost slmultsneous
that one of th largest reserv banks had
reduced its official rediscount rat, that

New Tork Cottea.
New Tork, April If. Higher Liverpool
cables, followed by reports that ths call
of a strike of railway men and transport
workers in Great Britain had been can
celled, led to a sharp advance in th cot
ton market her today. There wer con
flicting reports as to the labor situation
when trading her started, but th opening
was 21 to 2 points higher on advanc in
Liverpool and after quick setback of sev
eral points, th markets aold up to 12.18c
for May and 11.75c for July, or 43 to 43
points net higher.
Liverpool was a good buyer her, while
there wss also Wall strsst and local buy
In on th. advance, which was promoted
by expectations that a settlement of ths
labor trouble would b followed by an
activity in th British goods trad and a
revival at export demand for raw material.

favorable weather, low temperature re
tarding spring buyln and hurting early
fruits and vegetables, close to th lowest
prices in the better part of a decade on
the farm snd depressing news rssardlng
possible foreign and domestic labor
troubles, are among th cause for th
easing in securities and exchange markets,

Chicago Grain
By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Be Leased Hire,
Chicago, April . IS. A decided
change in the speculative atmosphere
pemded the grain markets . today.
Lessened selling pressure and a be
lief that the big liquidation is over
and that the markets have been
oversold, led to constructive opera
tions among a larger number of lo
cal traders. There was a good ad
vance and a higher close. At the
finish wheat was up 1 l-4c for May
and l-4c for July. Corn showed
gains of l-23-4c and oats were
up l-4c to 3-8c.
News regarding labor troubles in
England was a leading factor. Pri
vate news indicated that the trouble
will soon be adjusted and its influ
ence as a depressing factor is wan
ins:. Good buying of May by a lotaJ. rath
house- and ules of 360.000 bushels wer
taken by millers aa Veil as sales for
export had a good influence. Indica
tions are that local stocks will show
inly 100,000 bushels contract stocks here
Monday, with poor "prospects of getting
any wheat from outside markets unless
the price her advance to a shipping
basis.
Short Covering on Corn,
Low prlcea for corn here and in the
country attracted attention and ther
was short covering on the weak spots,
while on the bulges th corn came out
in fair volume. May waa up to 66c
and finished at 65 to 56c. Country
offerings in Illinois war- larger with
salea of No. 2 mixed to arrive at May
price. Th seaboard bought futures snd
cash grain taking 196.000 bushels, with
rumors of 800,000 bushels. Domestic sales
wero 70,000 bushels. Charter wer for
100,000 bushels for Montreal at $ cents.
Arrivals were 117 cars.
Elevator Interests bought May oats and
sold July and September and there was
olosing of spreads and covering by shorts,
owing to th advanc in other grains.
Prices advanced nearly 1 cent to 66 o
snd closed under th top. Cash prices
gained to lc and arr.vale. 76 cars.
Indications ar that stocks will show a
good reduction for th week. A narrow
ing of thedifference between May and
the distant futures of ry with buying
of July and selling of September by out
siders and while local operators did th
reverse featured th. ry. markets. Prlcea
advanced 14 to 4o with May leading.
"PI Note.
I,. 7... Winters of Hulburd, Warren and
Chandler says:
"In th. present situation ther. is still
sn lmmoni smount of grain to be liqui
dated, but at present prices it is possible
that existing larg stocks may b absorbed
in a surprisingly short tlm. Extravagant
and wasteful consumption du to low

,Some of the advocates of a "free" bridge
would have you believe that the toll bridge
between Omaha and Council Bluffs is about
the only toll bridge in the country.
The fact is that toll bridges across the larger
streams are the rule and not the exception.
, We have on file in our office the rates charged
by some 50 or more bridges and in order that
the public may have the facts, we give here
with a table showing the rates charged for
passage of pedestrians and vehicles over the
bridges at some of the principal cities along
the Missouri, Mississippi and Ohio rivers.
These rates were compiled during February,

It will be noticed that the rates on the bridge
between Omaha and Council Bluffs are com
paratively low; 'n'fact the lowest.
We do not wish to give the impression th.it
there are no free bridges anywhere, for there
are. At Davenport, Iowa, for instance, there
is a bridge which may be crossed without pay
ing toll. It was built by the United States
Government, however) to connect the cities
of Davenport and Rock Island with the island
on which the United States Arsenal is located,
and the people of Davenport and Rock Island
arehottaxftd topayforit. ,
There are also other "free" bridges. One
about which we hear so much is the one rt
St. Louis. But the history of the St. . Louis
"free" bridge is such a shocking example of
the waste of the taxpayer's money that we
shall devote one entire talk to it in the near
future. ;
Remember there is no crying need for a sec
ond bridge between Omaha and Council
Bluffs. As soon as we are assured that it is
safe to make a further investment the Omaha
& Council Bluffs Street Railway Company
stands ready to widen and increase the ca
' pacity of its bridge' to adequately take care of J
the traffic for a number of years to come.
Remember also I A "free" bridge is not free
as the term would indicate somebody would
have to pay the toll, and that Somebody is
the Taxpayer! '
