STEERS AND HEIFERS.
By ALEXANDER DANA NOYES.
( lilcugo Trlliune-Onmlia Be Leased Wire.
New York, May 31. Resuming
business after their virtual three days
holiday, the movement of the finan
cial markets was curiously confused
and the action of one seemed to have
little relation with that of the other.
Trices of stocks declined aKaiu,
i though with great irregularity. Call
money again went to 71 2. I he
Liberty 3j per cent bonds fell to
the lowest price of their history.
Wheat for May delivery rose 22
cents per bushel on the last dav for
performance of the contract. With
the first installment of 1,000,000,000
gold marks out of the total indemnity
of 132,000,000,000 made by the Ger
man ambassador at Paris today, and
with the program for conversion of
this payment into American credits
still left in much obscuritv. financial
interested centered in the question
now tar that transfer ot balances
had already been effected, and in the
consequent course of foreign ex
change. There was reason for believing that the
part of this initial payment, 150,000,000
marks, which was made last week in the
shape of bills of exchange, had been
turned into credit balances at New York
by the opening of business today and was
lodged with the federal reserve bank.
Part of the New York credit had vl.
dently been accumulated by Germany be
fore the heavy sales began last week In
Wall street. The rest of the transfer
must have been effected in thn later days
of Inst week, when sterling rates fell from
$3,9713 to $3.86 Vs. ending the week at
Mrrllng J.xchange Drops.
Although the Wall street foreign ex
change markets was closed on Monday,
the cables report that a further decline
In sterling to $3.85 occurred at London
the lowest rate since February 19 and
iHO in tne pound below the years high
level of May 19. Proaumahlv tha decline
of Monday reflected speculative foreign
Transactions not oasea on lull Inrormation
for sterling opened today in New York
at $3.86 and rose during the day to $3.89
or nearly lc above last week's closing.
Recovery occurred also in French. Belgian
and Italian rates, though with smaller
scope.
The stock exchange was not Influenced
by the foreign exchange fluctuation. -Its
attention again seemed to be limited to
the dividend reductions or dividend omis
sions on industrial shares.
Railway shares moved somewhat Irreg
ularly, but In the main held reasonably
firm with a show of strength in the
earlier trading. But they were dealt in
lightly, which was natural when the for
mal announcement of the labor board's
decision as to the scope of the railway
wage cut will be made tomorrow.

mated at 6.200 head and the market was
.Wlher slow, uneven affair throughout,
few deslruhle light and light butcher

but packers held out for steady cost and
trade finally developed on a steady to 15c
higher basis. Best light hogs topped at
$7.85 and bulk of the receipts sold from

Sheep Something like 8,000 sheep and
Iambs arrived for today's trade, with sup
ply consisting largely ot California spring
ers. Pricts for lambs ruled higher, and
560o advances were noted in most
cases. Choice spring lambs were Quoted
up to I12.2512.50. Fed lambs were al
. most too scarce to make a test of values.
A few ewes were Inoluded in the receipts,
and trade in this class ot stock ruled slow
to unevenly rower. Pretty good shorn
ewes had to sell at $3. Indicating an out
aide price of about $3.50.

New York. May 21. Only . a few
changes occurred In prices at tne open
ing of the New York cotton market this
morning, but the list was steady at an
advance of 3 points to a decline of 8
points on first sales. The best buying
was by Japanese Interests and tne trade,
the latter taking January, while Wall
street and the south sold moderately. Later
the undertone Improved on covering, at
6 to 6 points higher.
Still another crop report was published
In the afternoon, placing the condition at
64.6, the acreage at 10,735,000 less than
last year and pointing to a crop of 7,
876,000 bales. This report being closely
In line with previous figures, failed to
stimulate buying and trading was quiet
with prices sagging off at net unchanged
to f points lower.
New York Sugar.
New York, May 31. The raw sugar
market was unsettled by the signing of

Chicago Trlbtuie-Omaha Bee I.enscd Wire.
Chicago, May SI. May wheat
closed at the best price of the season,
with shorts frantically bidding for
the wheat. The close, $1.87, was
l'jC higher than the finish Satur
day. Cash houses continued to pour
wheat into the pit all day against
cash wheat bought on the bulge, but
this failed to relieve the congestion.
July wheat weakened later in the
session and resting spots were 'iC
higher.
Corn was ic higher to fgc lower,
while oats were IJ4C higher to
He lower, the advances being on the
May. Ilye was l'43)ic higher
and barley, l3c lower. Pork fin-
ished SS(a!95c off. lard, 12lSc off
and ribs, lZ'Ac lower.
Local cash sales were 31,000 bush
els of corn and 30,0 bushels of
oats. Shippers claimed that the only
place they could sell grain was in
the pit. There were no export bids
for corn, owing to unfavorable ex
change rates. Seaboard reported
1,000,000 bushels of wheat marked
for export, mainly to Germany, for
late June shipment, also 250,000
bushels of corn. Cash handlers ex
pect wheat to start at about 2530c
over July price tomorrow. If this
premium should be realized it will
be about 2 per cent off from the
close of today, figuring on a theo
retical close of $1.85 at 2c under
May, at which price all cash wheat
sold today. Cash corn and oats
closed J4c lower.
Receipts Not Large.
May wheat furnished some excitement
at the opening, but the exhibition of
pyrotechnics fizzled out almost immediate
ly after the start. The established re
ceipts were for only 450 cars, somewhat
less tnan expected, while deliveries or
117,000 bushels before the opening served
to increase rathen than relieve the repre
sentation of outstanding shorts. There
were odds to buy at the start and $1.83
was paid before all of the orders were
filed, amounting to about 60,000 bushels.
After that price had been established
scattering trades were closed at slight
variations In prices. .
There appeared to be some congestion
in the July at the opening. Commission
houses bought, while offerings wero light,
considerable wheat having been taken out
of the pit an Saturday. Offerings above
$1.30 were ample, but below that figure
the market appeared to be getting sup
port. The pit trade talked of good ex
port business over tho holiday, owing to
the number of "give-ups" of futures in
the pit by export houses. Seaboard In
terests, however, failed to confirm uny
new business. Intimating that foreign
buyers are holding off until after May Is
out of the way, believing present values
inflated.
Strong I ndertone In Corn.
There was a strong undertone to the
corn market at the start, and good com
mission house buying in evidence, while
offerings ware light. There was a
change in sentiment to the bull side. The
theory Is that a demand generally springs
up when the run is heaviest and this
theory was said to apply today with re
ceipts of 1.750 cars estimated. There was
a slow cash demand tor corn, eastern
buyers being imbued with the idea that
they will be able to buy cheaper after
May contracts have been closed out.
Oats were traded in at higher levels.
There was little outside interest displayed
in the market and prices were affected
largely by the action in other grains.
Commission houses were good buyers
early, but sold on the bulge later In the
Session. Receipts were heavy, the esti
mate placed at . 350 cars, comprising a
three-day run. The cash market basis
was unchanged at tho starl, but later
ruled c lower. Shipping demand from
all distributing points was dull, buyers
generally awaiting the expiration of May
in the hope that purchases couiil be made
at a better level thereaftr. A boat is
to be loaded out this evening containing
350,000 bushels of oats, the destination
being Buffalo.
Rye was linn, cash No. 2 selling at
$1.641.67 and No. 8 at $1.42 01.43. De
liveries on May contracts were 25,000
bushels.
Pit Notes.
With the explratloo of the May wheat
future, sentiment was a good deal mixed
in reference to the July, but a number
of commission houses showed a leaning to
the bear side on the theory that croo
damage news had been discounted and that
short sellers would be more positive In
their views than they have been. Wheat
cutting has started In the southwest, so
that the crop situation has less sentiment
than it had when the May was shooting
skyward about every other day. In Ok
lahoma it Is claimed that the crop out
look has Improved and the rains in Kan
sas since the worst reports were received
have probably caused some Improvement
In that quarter. In the soft wheat sec
tion the general view of the crop Is favor
able.
The weekly Indiana crop report says
corn Is all planted and some being worked
a second time, with the stand good.
Acreage practically the same as last year.
Showers have improved oats during the
week, and the acreage is little changed
from last year. Wheat condition is vari
able, some districts excellent and others
poor. Cutting will begin in the southern
part of the state In about two weeks.
"Wheat looks fine all through the big
wheat-raising counties of Ohio. Indiana
and southern Illinois," said John F. Bar
rett, who made his usual Decoration day
trip from Chicago through Indiana, south
ern Ohio and southern Illinois. "In the
real wheat raising sections 1 never saw
wheat look better than this year."
The Canadian wheat snpply is down to
11.514,000 bushels, against 9,914.000 bush
els a year ago. At this rate the bugbear
of big Canadian stocks will soon be a
thing of the past.

Why gasoline quality is the determining factor
You can't see whether the gasoline comes into your
cylinders as a fine mist or as a heavy spray. Yet that
is the thing which largely determines the power and
mileage you get from gasoline.
The nature of the gasoline spray governs these things
the power of the explosion, the completeness of
combustion, the amount of gasoline for each piston
stroke and the speed with which carbon will collect
and the lubricating oil become diluted.
Unless your gasoline vaporizes readily in all weathers,
and unless it is uniform, you cannot adjust your needle
valve to give maximum power and at the same time
maximum economy.
Use Red Crown Gasoline which meets all
U. S. Government specifications
Complete and uniform vaporization, and a series of
boiling point fractions which insure quick ignition and
complete combustion these are the characteristics of
good gasoline, straight distilled gasoline. The Red
Crown Gasoline you can buy everywhere is this su
perior quality gasoline. It meets the standards re
quired by the United States Government for motor
gasoline.
Look for the Red Crown Service Station
The prompt, courteous service Red Crown Service
Stations afford and the dependable gasoline and motor
oils they sell add to the convenience, pleasure and
economy of motoring. Drive in where you see the sign
of the Red Crown where the little, but appreciated,
courtesies such as free air for a soft tire, water for a
hot radiator and road information and directions are
cheerfully given.
