SANTA FE ADOPTS REFORM
IN INTEREST OF PEACE
Ear-Spltting Calls to Meals Hence
forth VIII Be Mere Mem
cries of Past

The Santa Fe Railway company has
issued an order, which will go into eff
feet April Is, that will be appreciated
by any person who has had occasion to
travel on that or any other line across
the continent.
The edict has gone forth that after
April 10 the usual loud and ear-splitting
calls for meals will be done away with.
The porters will go about quietly and
inform the passengers when meals are
ready, and cards will be distributed to
the passengers on which can be written
orders as to when they wish breakfast
served.
The Santa Fe management has de-
cided on this step on account of the
frequent complaints of passengers who
are disturbed by the breakfast calls
before they leave their berths.
No longer will the familiar cry of
First call for breakfast" startle the
sleeping tourist and arouse him from
pleasant reveries

CHICAGO, April Ton sensational
opening wheat on the board of trade
today touched the highest point, with
one exception. in more than twenty
years.
First sales of May were at $1.24 to
S125N, the latter figure being "a TO
3sk cents higher than the close Mon
day.
Opening figures for July wheat were
IL to 11a cents to 2ss cents hlgher'
sales being made at $1.10 to $l.ll.
Excitement was seething in the pit
before the reverberating sound of the
gong announced the beginning of the
days session. Yesterday was holiday
owing to the election, but during the
speculative idleness bullish news accu-
mulated at rate which insured rec
ord breaking advance today. Liver
pools advance of yesterday continued
today, the market being reported 21A to
31ad over Mondays closing.
An English authority startled the
trade with an estimate that Europe
would require 50,000.0 900 bushels from
America within the next four months.
Where this is to come from no trader
was found today to explain.
Shortage Apparent
AS indicating the shortage of the do
nestle crop, it is announced that a
firm in Kansas City has been a heavy
buyer at Minneapolis.
Rain was reported quite general IN
the southwest today, but although ben
eficial it is declared doubtful If the
crop will be matured in time for the
delivery on July contract, owing to
the dry autumn which is said to have
greatly retarded growth.
How much the congested condition
of the May delivery has to do with
present prices can be explained only by
the man who controls the market, and
his only word is that supply and de-
mand, not manipulation, are respon-
sible for the advance.
In any event, if the estimate of &c.
100000 bushels needed for European
consumption is correct, it is said to be
certain that the continent will have to
pay a pretty penny to the American
farmer, to say nothing of the big
trader, who for months has been ac-
cumulating a line estimated at 25000,-
900 bushels.
The highest previous price for May
within twenty years was passed, eX-
cept during the Letter deal in 1898,
when the price reached $1.S5. At that
time the price of bread in Europe adj
vanced so that the peasantry suffered
Letter, however, lost heavily on the
deal.
