Survey of Business Situation
Reveals a Great Deal of Re-
adjustment Work
PROCESS is STILL INCOMPLETE
Real Turn Cannot Be Expected Until
Values Have Declined in Other Than
Security Markets-Immense Borrow
inss BY Railroads and Other corpor-
atoms On short-Time Notes.

| New York, April 25.--A careful sur
! vey of the business situation reveals nc
| unsound features. A great deal Of re-
adjustment work has already been
done, and weak spots have been pretty
thoroughly eliminated, especially in
financial circles, where the situation is
really sounder than for many months.
In spite of this fact, however. it is
evident that the readjustment process
not be expected until values have de-
clined in other than security markets.
than it should in the form of shrink
age in values: but enterprise is stin
held in check by the extreme high cost
of everything that goes into a fixed
plant. Both materials and wages ara
often at prohibitive level, and until
these have undergone their inevitable
share of the general readjustment there
can be no genuine and permanent re-
yival of industry. This will call for a
more reasonable attitude on the part OF
organized labor, and possibly some con-
cessions before long, which If resisted
will simply result in adding to the
number of unemployed
Another factor which adds to this
conservative feeling in Wall street Is
the immense borrowings by railroads
and other corporations on short-time
notes. Some estimates put the amount
Of such loans during the last six
months at about s3OO.000.O00. These
figures probably explain the high rec
ord loans of the New York banks, who
are exceedingly well satisfied to find
such safe and profitable employment
for their funds when ordinary busi-
ness requirements are diminishing.
These loans will probably be turned
into fixed capital when the bond mar
ket improves, but during the interval
the temporary locking UP Of such
large sums will tend to discourage ex-
cessive speculation: otherwise we
might see plethora of loanable funds
with all the attendant evils of such q
condition. Financial conditions are
probably the most satisfactory OF any
In the great divisions of business. The
situation is certainly sound,
but business is diminishing in volume.
while the industrial situation is COM
plicated by the conditions above re-
ferred to. Very soon the country win
be passing thru the excitement inci-
dental to a presidential campaign.
there are fewer disturb
ing issues than usual, and there Is
likely to be less postponement of ems
terprise than is common in presidential
years. Nevertheless. there are two inns
portant doubts hanging over the mar
ket-the election and the crops-and
upon these the course Of the market
will largely depend. Four or Ave
months will be required to anticipate
these results. and meanwhile we need
hardly look for very active market.
unless unexpected developments occur
in the war between Japan and Russia
or in the merger litigation.

e. n. Princes Grain Letter.

Chicago. April Observation-Disclosures
the influence OF soma bullish reports
from the southwest, and heavy buy
ing by St. Louis houses, there was a
cent advance today but there was a
break Of cents from the top before the
session ended. Liquidation by local
people who bought freely on the way UP
and stop loss selling was the cause OF
the slump. The market closed barely
steady, near the low point Of the day.
There was early covering by shorts
As soon as St Louis orders came in the
advance was easily scored. Late weak.
ness In corn had much to do with
starting selling dn wheat. Heavy rains
thruout the southwest were regarded
as favorable but here were good many
reports of foods In bottom lands.
Northwest conditions were favorable
for seeding, but weather continues cool.

The Supply Was Not Large For
Monday and Most Grades
Up 10 Cents
EXPORT DEMAND STILL GOOD
This Class of Buying is an Element
of Great Strength to the Market -
The Supply Of Hogs Was Too Large
and Prices Were Weak and Mostly
10 Cents Lower.

Chicago. April 25.--As the supply OF
cattle was not particularly large for the
first of the week, buyers OF all classes
took much more freely than usual and
prices We're firm. with the better class
es selling largely 10 cents higher. Ex-
port demand continues liberal and this
buying is an element of great strength
In the market.
An encouraging sign of the times In
the cattle trade has been the readiness
with which supplies We're absorbed last
week. In he butcher line this has been
particularly noticeable this week. On
last Monday when receipts We're esti-
mated at 10000 and nearly $4,000 ac-
tually arrived, there was big active
demand for fat she stock. and prices
We're strong, while succeeding days
have seen this class of stock actually
working to a higher level.
Hogs.
With $500 left over from last week
there was an aggregate supply of over
$4,000, and prices We're weak, fully 10
demand.
Week before last there were plenty
of indications that the light weight hog
would be so numerous as to keep him
selling at discount for some time to
come, but hogs coming last week show
ed q. tendency to increasing weight;
not big showing of extreme big
weights, but a larger proportion of
weights running from 200 to $50 pounds,
The eastern trade has taken quite a
fancy to the nice butcher pig weigh
ing l60 to around $50 pounds and thes.
weights are now selling closer to the
choice mediums and heavies than they
have heretofore this spring or for
several months. n AT the same time
the lard market Is not favorable to
the thick, fat heavy hog. and packers
are beginning to discriminate against
hogs weighing around and over 800
pounds.
Sheep.
There was the accustomed good To-
cal selling and export demand Prices
were firm for sheep at recent advances.
Wooded lambs We're % cents higher.
Clipped were In active demand.
Supplies OF native sheep and lambs
have long since been practically ex-
hausted and indications are that the
OF westerntstock feeding Is not
large. At the present, time not more
than $50 car loads of sheep and lambs
remain to be marketed In the great
feeding section in northern Colorado.
A good many of the st. Paul outfits
have sent in all of their stock and
quite number OF large Minnesota
feeders are pretty well in.
Exporters are wondering what they
are going to do for supplies with
which to meet the strong demand that
exists on the other side of the water for
good fat heavy sheep and lambs and
yearlings

Jewelry and Magic.

Finger rings, earrings, bracelets,
brooches and other articles Of personal
hdornment originated not from the as-
thetic sense OF our remote ancestors,
but from their belief in magic. Even
civilized men today sometimes enter
tain superstitious regard for small
stones and pebbles of peculiar shape or
color and carry them about as charms.
The Greeks and Asiatics used stones,
beads and crystals primarily as anu
lets and cut devices on them to en-
nance their magical power. The use OF
such stones as seals was secondary
and may at first have been for sacred
purposes only. When a primitive peo-
,ple first find gold they value It only
nor its supposed magic and wear mug
gets Of 1t strung with beads.

A NEW HOG MARKET.
East Buffalo Packers Developing One
GETTING iowa hous,

Buffalo, N. Y, April 25.-The COM
mission firm of Eirick Bros report that
the East Buffalo stock yards are re-
ceiving numerous shipments OF hogs
from the western states, particularly
from Iowa, Illinois and Missouri. Prices
here average from 40 to 60 cents above
Chicago prices and the only increased
cost is the difference in freight, about
IS cents per hundred weight and lit
tie extra shrinkage. Iowa shipments
are all billed via the l.. S. & M. S. rail-
way and go thru without reloading in
Chicago Heretofore the western hog
markets often became so dull and de-
pressed so as to entail great loss to
shippers, packers being in a position to
put values wherever they saw fit. We
believe there is a chance now for ship
pers themselves to avoid good deal
of this depreciation The more hogs
YOU can keep out of Chicago the better
ii will keep UP prices in general.

URGES REFORM FOR FUNERALS.
Kansas Politician !. Would Abolish
Black as a Symbol Of Mourning.

Topeka, kas. April Pc. w. Hoch,
republican candidate for governor, in
his newspaper at Marion declares for
reform in funerals. He says black is
the emblem Of night and despair. THE
world needs no symbols of mourning, :"
he says. Nature heals and hides her
sorrows as soon as possible. II the
world must have symbol of sorrow
let 1t be white. Surely If our loved
ones could break the silence of the
tomb they would bid us remember them
joyfully rather than sorrowfully."

Cables steady with an improved cash
business.
Corn - There was fair strength in
corn early today, but on the advance
considerable pressure was put on May
corn by local holders and this affected
all deliveries. On the decline Valentine
sold July and the pit crowd followed.
The decline was not checked until pric-
es were under Saturdays close with
over a cent loss in May, but only
small net loss in other months. There
was not much feature to the market
and dillness was the rule, until late in
the session. Early strength was due to
the advance in wheat and too much
rain in the west. Gables showed some
strength and cash was very firm.
Oats-There was general buying in
oats at the opening and good advance
resulted. but the market eased off with
wheat and corn and closed little lower
than Saturday.

CALVES ARE PLENTY.
Dairy Districts Keep Veal Market Well
Supplied,

Chicago April 25.-While the re-
ceipts of calves this past week have
been fully 1000 less than the week be-
fore. the total has still been quite lib
eral. But the market has shown bet
ter turn. and prices were materially
higher at the close than on the first
days of the week.
The question has been asked, Why
doesn't the country hold back some of
these calves and raise them? One
suggested answer is that many parts
of the country are sore on the cattle
business" and don't care to take any
chances. But one of the chief causes
of such large receipts of calves. as set
forth last week. is found in the -four
ishing condition of the dairying inter-
ests for the last year or more. Most
of the calf supply comes from these
dairy districts, and their inferior
breeding, from beef producing stand
point is the chief reason why they are
hustled off to the veal markets
