Chicago Grain
By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
Omaha, Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, April 2. The grain mar
kets are without a leader and the
largest traders say that until there
is a bold and aggressive one to aJ
sume either side and something new
to create increased outside interest in
the markets, a nervous feeling with
no decided trend to values is to be
expected.
Last week witnessed a weak and
lower start, followed by an advance
of 8c in wheat on covering of a very
large line by a New York short, In
two days after that buying ceased
prices were off 6c and the trade was
mostly bearish.
Two important factors In the trsde at
present are the- crop news and the export
and milling demand. Crop news is mixed
and is not expected to be a significant
factor as a price maker for everal weeks
by those who know the real conditions
and are not Influenced by the general
run of reports as they come into the
trade from various sections. It is re
garded as too early to determine what
the winter wheat In Kansas and Okla
homa will do that had failed to germin
ate up to the middle of March.
Green Bugs Bad.
Green bugs are in Oklahoma and May
be a market Influence should they dam
age "winter wheat.
The trsde had the Snow and Goodman
crop reports on Friday, tbe former with
its estimate of 6H(i,ooo,tioo ousneis com
pared with 621.000.000 bushels in April
of last year, anil 587,000.000 bushels har
vested. The condition wss 78.7. against
78 in December. Ooodman's estimate is
550.000.000 bushels, based on tbe average
abandonment of 10.3 per ent, equal to
4,500.000 acres. The condition is 76.6.
Wheat traders of the world aro agreed
that there .is no burdensome surplus of
supplies, as' estimates range from 32,000,
0900 to 80.000,000 Inlands.
As to the actual conditions surround
ing the wheat situation of the world,
there hss been little change except that
it teglns to look as though the big rush
of wheat from Argentina and Australia
is over and that shipments are to bs of
more moderate volume.

Ussabs) Kew Leased Wire.
Ncwr York, April .'.The foreign
exchange market, the grain market
and the market for investment bonds
hiivc so latin li'M the renter of the
Masc for all srriou observers of the
drift of affair, that it was something
of a novelty to tintl the Mock market
taking Ihe central place. It is not
that Wall direct or the general pub
lic had lost interest in the recent
slock market. Qite aside from that
harmless fraternity who sit all day
by blackboards matching views of
the particular stocks which they
have "heard are going to move," a
larger public always glances at the
daily stock table to see what it
shows, of anything, as to financial
sentiment over the business situa
tion. During many weeks, however, the
market had merely testified in a
desultory way that the general move
ment of apprehension and liquidation
had ended. Professional speculators
would, at intervals, rush in to buy
stocks from one another, and when
prices had risen sufficiently would
sell I hem back to one another, and
prices retained some of the advance
alter each occurrence of the kind.
This had no very obvious meaning
Deyona the .fact that what Wall
street calls "official sentiment' or
"commission house opinion" was
looking more favorably towards in
trinsic values.
Reaction Faila to feme.
hat attracted considerably mora at.
Jen t Ion In laat week's stork msrket was
the fset that when professions! speculst
ors. having derided that prices were too
man tin 01a not taKe account of such
bad news as the comlna coal strike.
sold stocks heavily in expectlon of a pro
longed reaction, the reaction refused to
come. People who were expected to cell
their stocks kept them; people who were
expected to wslt for a lower level before
paying, came in so promptly with pur
chasing orders thst the professions! opera
tors had to beat a hurried retreat.
This wss the kind of Incident which
Impresses Wall street, from the very feet
that what had appeared to be consensus
of Judgment among professional experts,
had not been accepted by th Investing
community st Isrge. For this there
there could be no other obvious explana
tion than the assjmptlon thst the people
who would not sell their stocks because
of the bad industrial bslanre sheets for
1921, or the coming coal strike, or a pos
sible cut in railroad rates, or the new
decline In the German mark, or the an
nouncement that reaction In the stock
msrket wss due on genersl principles,
were more Impressed with the signs of
better things in trade and industry than
by these other passing events.
Traditions Fulfilled.
In this respect, the wcek'e stork mar
ket probably fulfilled Its traditional func
tion of forecasting the financial future.
How important or prolonged a business
revival is foreshadowed must remain In
doubt. Probably even the Investors or
capitalists wno, at such times buy stocks
or refuse to sell them would net be sbl
to agree on the answer to that question.
Prices of storks have advanced substan
tially since ths beginning of tho year:
the statistical averages show an all around
gain of about 10 points to date. But
even existing prices, although now above
the average of any day in 1(21, are 15
to zo points below the last hslf of 1919
or ths first psrt of 1920. This of Itself
may measure uncertainty a to acope and
duration of the trade recovery. The dis
appointment over last autumn's brief re
vival, which turned out to be merely a
sudden and short-lived recourse to .the
markets for replenishing tha iMued atnrlra
of merchandise, n ekes judgment rightly
uuiibci vauve.
The question of the ecope of coming
trade revival Is connected In a Peculiar
way with the bond market. Prices for
Investment bonds have continued to move
upward In a far more striking way than
prices of railway or Industrial shares,
and the bond msrket has indicated the
active presence of an outside put He aa

City Commiioinr II. II. unman
ukrdllie question during tily coun
iil meeting. in the presence
I County 'treasurer M. L.
I'ndrca. and in lonnecltuit with a
discussion 011 the tullrction of de
linquent iecal taxes.
Ihe nuiirr came up through a
communication sent by K. 1'. Dona
hue sewer contractor, to the city
council, staling that he has been
holding 400 ol city sewer warrants
for five yrar ami is now dctixius
of converting the warrants into
liquid atteta. These warrant! ar
cumulate 7 per rent interest unnl
the special taxes are paid and Hk

Want Taxae Cotltcted.
The city commissioners look the
position that inasmuch at the nty
government pays th treaurer's ol
fice 1 per cent fof collections an
effort should be made by the county
commissioner and the treasurer to
nillr-. i Ihe hack inrcial taxes, '.
"I ..'nt Omaha in Douglas tonrMv?"
also asked Commissioner 11.
Dunn.
"The county commissioners do not
seem to realise that, nor do they
teem to realise that Omaha pay 85
per cent of all taxes paid in Douglas
county," replied Commiisioner Zim
maii, who added that he believed
the county board should have as
much thought for the welfare or
Omaha as for the small conimunitlea
of the county.
Board Against Collector!.
Treasurer Endrea admitted that
the employing of a few competent
collectors would justify such an ex
penditure, but he explained that he
cannot hire collectors without the
approval of the county board, whose
position is that Omaha pays only I
per cent to the treasurer for tax
collections, as against 2 per cent by
county and state.

is not paying enough for the col
lection of taxes," said the treasurer.
The suggestion was made that
bonds might be sold to take up a

no action was taken. The whole
discussion yielded no definite plan
of action.

The finest boys' ramp in the mid
dle west is Camp Sheldon, located at
Columbus, Neb., and it is "to this
camp that the Omaha Y. M. C. A.
takes its boys for their annual sum
mer outings. Last summer, in a
competition between camps of the
states of Nebraska, Kansas, Colo
rado, Wyoming, Texas, Oklahoma,
New Mexico and Arkansas, the
Omaha boys' camp won second
place.
This summer the Omaha "Y" has
three 10-day periods at Camp Shel
don and this is open to Omaha boys
over 12 years of age, whether mem
bers of the Y. M. C. A. or not. Last
summer over SO boys were left be
hind for lack of space in the camp,
and it looks as though it would be
just as crowded this summer.
Only 100 boys will be taken to
each period and applications will be
received after April IS. Camp book
lets have already gone out to 2,000
Omaha boys, who will be interested
in camp, and there is no doubt but
that the camps will be filled to over-
nowing betore the time comes to go.

June 20 to 30, the second from July
3 to is, and tne tnird, which will be
for Hi-Y leaders only, will be held
from August 31 to September S. E.
