REVIEW Of CORN
AND OATS OUTLOOK
Corn and Oats Acreage In
creases but Demand
Remains Good.

Since 1908. or in eight years. the
oats acreage Of the United States has
Increased 81 per cent. while the corn
wheat acreage has decreased slight
ly. says S T. Aonat in American Elc-
vator n Grain Trade. During this
period horses and mules in his
country have increased % per cent.
cattle and hogs together have in
creased 13' per cent and the popula-
ton of the country approximately II
per cent.
Oats are only used as feed for
horses and mules aside from the
small percentage of the crop that Is
manufactured into breakfast foods.
There are only about 10000. 900 bush
els Of oats manufactured into human
food in this country, and the increase
in the last ten years has been less
than 10 per cent. or less than 4,0O0,-
900 bushels. This is due to the fact
that other cereals have to a great ex-
tent been substituted for oats for use
as breakfast foods. Horses and
mules are fed on corn to a consider
bile extent. and 1t n therefore
he said that the increase of 81 per
cent in these animals represents Il
corresponding increase in the con-
sumption of oats. 1t is then a fair
conclusion that the increased produce
tion of oats. when We have a normal
yield per acre, has increased over 10
per cent more than the consumptive
requirements in the United States.
here is no outlet for oats in an
export way. Following the bumper
crop of 1911 oats ruled a portion of
the time under 80 cents in Chicago,
and the exports for the entire year
amounted to less than 1000. 900 bush
els. a quantity not to be taken into
consideration.
nview of the above facts it is our
contention hat oats are ruling rela-
lively too high compared to wheat
and corn, for in both the latter we
have an outlet by sales to foreign
countries whenever there is Il surplus
which forces the price to a moderate
level. while u oats are virtually all
in this country.

PICKING UP
IN new YORK
Reading Was the Most
Prominent Feature
of the Day.

New York. April 24.-The more IA
vorable outlook to the controversy be-
tween the railroad managers and the
locomotive engineers was a most inn
portant factor in shaping the our of
the stock market.
1t vas known long before the open
ing of business that a halt had been
called in the Threatened strike but 1t
was not until later That official am
nouncement was made of the willing
ness Of the engineers to accept media
, ton.
Lethargy and hcaviness gave way to
ebulence which resulted in IA number
of material advances at the Very OUT
set. These were soon extended and
by midday gains of l to : points were
general. There We're a few exceptions
to this tendency. notably in the tobac-
co group some of which suffered Sc
we're declines presumably in connec-
ton with the adoption yesterday by
the United States senate of a resolu-
ton calling for Il review of the re-
cent decision in the American Tobac-
co case.
Reading which sold ''Ex Div Of l
Ia per cent was the most prominent
feature of the day. The entire list was
stimulated to a higher level In the
course of the morning with little dim
mutton of business, but In the after
noon trading fell off appreciably.
Various obscure issues took the
place of speculative leaders in the
market was going through a natural
process Of digestion.
Prices were disposed to yield frac-
tionally on havy realizing for profits,
but another buying movement in read
ing which advanced to 16S Ia infus-
ed renewed strength elsewhere.
Just at this period there were some
contrary movements in the special
ties. Sears Roebuck added very sub
stantially to its previous rise with a
gain of 2 1-2 points in American SUI
lehem Steel declined. The closing was
strong with the usual recessions from
the top. International Mercantile
Marine bonds and the preferred stock
were in better demand and made some
recovery from their recent heaviness.
In banking circles some attention
was paid to the renewal of loans in
this market by London which were
made on the basis of 3 IL per cent
for thirty days. Revival of demand
from abroad was said to be due to UNI
expected requirements and postpone
ment of expected ease. The British
trade reports for March were favor
able on the whole despite some
gloomy forebodings prompted by the
recent industrial upheavel in Great
Britain.
Loans Reduced 4 Per Cent.
Local monetary conditions were de-
cidedly easier. 60 and 90 day loans
having been made at 3 Ia per cent, a
reduction Of Ia per cent from the
previous day. Apparently the further
drain to the Interior, a mounting thus
far this week to almost $1,000, 900 has
excited no misgivings.
Bonds We're strong with marked
gains in Denver and Rio Grande As
and Wabash Is. Total sales were ST.
100000.
United States government bonds un-
changed on call.

n MoNIY EASIER.

London, April 24.-Money was
easier to obtain and discount rates
were quiet.
The mining carry-over occupied
much of the attention of operators
on the stock exchange but the mar
kets Were generally firm. Home rails
showed the best advance under the
lead of the southern lines while for
Tin shares and Marconis advanced,
but gilt-edged securities scarcely
moved despite cheaper money.
American securities opened quiet
and steady and during the forenoon
prices advanced a fraction on fair
buying. In the afternoon the market
improved sharply under Berlin and
Wall street buying and closed firm.
