The MARKETS

CHICAGO, April 29.-Trade in the
grain market was comparatively quiet
and changes in prices for the day
very moderate. May wheat closed Is
lower and July ss higher. Corn was
firmest for May and shade up at the
end. while a slight decline was noted
in the later deliveries. Oats was quar-
ter down for May and about 1-16 up
for July and September. Provisions
were heavy in expectation OF large de-
liveries of ribs Monday.
The cable reiterated the usual mix
up of matters that did not differ es-
sentialIy from what had been their
staple news for months. Sellers of
wheat, therefore were very careful
and had to be tempting by increasing
/ bids but at that there was no large
quantity for sale. Receipts at western
primary points were $4,000 bushels
| larger than a year ago.
There was no decided change In
the price of corn at the opening and
no particular reason why there should
/ have been. The prominent features OF
the trade were the moderate offerings
from farmers and the steady absorb
ton of the current receipts at this
point. The general tendency in the
pit was to sell, but it did not so mucf
exceed the buying as to affect the
values seriously. There was buying o
May and selling of equal quantities
of July by an influential local elevate
company that indicated confidence II
the May prices and an evident prep
aration to take delivery of a larg
quantity should 1t be delivered Mon
J day.
Business was light in the oats mai
ket and traders were inclined to loo
for lower prices as result OF big d'
liveries Monday on May contracts

cline. Selling of May oats gave wea
turn to the price OF that delivery, bl

NEW YORK, April 20. In Its is
sue of Monday. Financial America
will say the most important issue in
determining the market conditions a
present is the excessive supply of
money. Long time loans are being
made at three percent and this ease
is forcing activity in the bond depart
ment of the exchange. The showing
made by the steel corporation, while
disappointing, was discounted before
the report was made public, according
to this authority
Although the market presents
many trading opportunities, con.
tinues the article, brokers them
selves exert restrictive Influence on
open operations by advising custom
iers to refrain from speculation until

lutely curtailing new business. None

MOSES was not merely law-gi.
yer, he was a great economist as
we'll. After all the centuries since
his time, no better system of gov
eminent or economics has ever
been discovered. Human greed
of our time would squlrm and
commercialism would howl under
the enforcement of the laws which
governed Isra i, and under which
that people prospsrsd, but no man
can say but that better conditions
would prevail if we had such laws
aud they enforced. The penalties
for breaking the weekly Sabbath
were very severe. Every Seventh
year was Sabbatical year in
which no work was allowed-slave
went free and the land had year
of rest from thing. Ali debts were
cancelled aud on the first day of
the new year all started in free of
debt. Under such system there
would be few, if any, multi-mil-
lionaires-no long drawn out bonds
or interest bearing debts, and men
would be slow to get others into
their debt. Commercialism would
receive a set back and greedy and
usury a black eye, the masses
would stand moro nearly equal
with all mankind, the blood suck
ers who now live and grow fat and
rich through long time interest
bearing debts, bonds and mort
cages would have to pull off their
coats and work for an honest liv-
ing.-Word 81 Works.

Hook Worm Lecture.

gave an illustrated demonstration
of the hook-worm and its dieeases
at the High School Auditorium
Monday night to large audience.
The doctor explained fully the
work the State Board OF Health
are doing in that direction in or
der to Eradicate the disease from
the state, and we have no doubt
that with little effort on the part
of our people and the parish and
town board of health we could
easily destroy the disease.
The state of Louisiana is max
ing a sanitary inspection of all the
parishes in order to find out to
what extent the state is effected.
The lecture WAS greatly appre-
ciated by those who attended, be-
cause the hook worm is a new dis

Our Mineral Resources.
On. 0. DALEY Item


Do not imagine that beca use you
never heard much about Louisiana
as a mineral producing state that
we do not turn a trick or turn or
two in this line. The mines Of
Louisiana can produce enough salt
to supply the whole world for 1OO.-
900 years. We have that much
salt in sight now.
The Caddo oil field near Shreve-
port contains an enormous amount
of good petroleum and natural gas
under control. Louisiana is one
of the great oil-producing sections
of America.
We produce more sulphur than
any other place in the world, ST.
oily being outclasssd. The state
has other mineral resources and if
you are particularly interested in
mines you will find it we'll worth
your while to investigate in this
particular.

The Farmers Are Learning.

The poultry business in this

The best birds are being raised
and the profit is good. The old

section, even if the people as q
whole are not in the business as
an occupation. The people are
learning that 1t is just as easy to
raise thoroughbred fowls, horses,

stock, and the profit is much more.
Registered swine is another in.
