FORAGE GRAIN SCARS ABOVE RECORD PRICE
Uncommon Activity and Nervousness in Corn
 and Oats Alike

Chicago, March s0.-Forage grain to- day scared above even the record breaking high prices made on previous occasions this week. Bull leaders pressed the buying and compelled the covering of important short lines In the May option corn went to the eX- traordinary figures of 75 cents a bushel, and oats to 55 cents. The close for both cereals was within lsc of the top most level reached, a net advance of A e 7s for corn and i4 e ssc for eats. Hog products, too, showed rise of 5m17hc, but wheat ad ecline of l. e Sc
 Uncommon activity and nervousness developed In corn and oats alike. Pros pect of colder. unsettled weather over Sunday encouraged swarms of new buyers to take hold, and in the end forced pit traders to capitulate. The bull view of the corn market was that unreasonable eonditionsE which have prevailed several weeks beyond the usual period have necesstated con- consumption at the winter rate, the huge average of more than 354,000, 900 bushels month, making a total re- quirement which the amount of corn in the country has been strained to supply and has put gilt edge prem ium on the relatively meagre hoard left.
 At no time today did the price of corn react below the quotations cur rent last night. On the other hand the high point touched was nearly equal to the best figures ever obtained a month later in the year. Between the opening and the close May delivery ranged from 74075c and finished steady, Ke up at 747sc.
 Vim on the bull side of the oats crowd appeared scarcely second to the enthusiasm in the corn pit. The cold CT weather predicted implied further seeding delays and was the chief in also paid to signs of an increased cash demand from the south. May sold from 541s c 545 5sc to 5bc and in the end was 54 47s 6p 55e, Just ssc over last night,
 IL was a narrow and dull market for wheat with a heavy undertone all day The general news directly affecting the cereal was mostly depressing, but the effect was largely offset by the strength of other grains According to experts in the fields the outlook for a serious crop scare had rapidly dimin- ished. Furthermore much Canadian wheat Is being consigned to Mime apollo, duty paid, to be sold in the open market. During the session May varied from s102A @1.0224. closing steady Ac net lower at s1.021a.
 Provisions climbed mainly on ac- count of the corn bulge. Pork led with an increased cost of 1OG17hc.

WHY THE STRANGER KNEW
An Embryo Artist Finds The Unso-
 licited Criticism Was Justified

From the New York Press
 An art student was copying one of Abbott s. Thayers paintings at the Met ropolitan Meuseum of Art one day. when a plainly dressed man, who looked as if he might be a mechanic, approached and watched him.
 "Youfve got the angle of the mouth wrong, and the left eye too oblique," re- marked the man decidedly.
 The student took no notice of the un- solicited criticism.
 There Is too much yellow in your flesh tint" contiued the man.
 Still no reply from the student, who ostentatiously slapped on more yellow on the nose.
 Did you hear what l said?' ques- tioned the man.
 "Yes, I heard responded the student, drowning at his critic. What do you know about 1t. anyway?
 ''I ought to know something about it." was the smiling response. 'It was l who painted the picture"

were eager for covering. The demand vas not large at any time. It was met by very small swaps which intensified dullness. The buying for the long account was on moderate scale. Telegrams from the southwest told of young cotton being up to a good stand and ready for chopping but the effect was lost in the official forecast of rain and snow for the western half of the belt.
 At the highest of the morning prices were 10 points up. In the afternoon lis was lost.

During the first fiscal year. when the game law went Into force, hunters were required to buy two hunters licenses. which greatly swe'led the receipts. Then, there were many that bought hunters licenses not knowing that they could hunt in their beats without tae same; and then, the legislature passed law that Wallace advocated, exempt Ing Confederate soldiers from the pay ment of a hunters license fee Despite this Wallace has paid a handsome reve- nue every year into the state treasury.
