STOCK MARKET
UNDER PRESSURE
Said to be Two-sided-Rail-
ways Show Increases.
Call Money 3 Percent

New York. April 3,-Thc stock
market gave another demonstration
of strength in the early part OF the
days trading. but before the end of
the morning session. however, the rise
ceased abruptly. dealings fell to minor
proportions and virtually all gains
We're lost.
For the rest of the day the list con-
tinucd under pressure, this being
most noticeable in United States Steel.
Union Pacific and the coal shares.
Lowest prices were reached in the
last hour, the heaviness of the market
suggesting II renewal of operations by
the short interest.
Two Sided Market.
There is "a feeling among conserva-
tive brokers and 1ispassionatc observ-
ers that the market has ccom two
sided" not only because of its phen-
oIncnal rise in the past month, but
chiefly because the higher level in the
industrial group has perhaps over dis
cnunted conditions for II long period.
AS for the steel Industry, the most
reliahlc Indications point to a shrink
age rather than an increase of output
for the current month at least. With
regard ~ the steel trade the report
Of the Bethlehem Steel company for
1911, issued today, disclosed Il very
moderate increase in total income al
though the total surplus Increased by
over s.. 900 900.
Aside from further weakness in IL
linois Central. which may have been
due more To it's poor February state
ment. the shares of the railways ira
versins the flooded districts of the
south were scarcely affected.
Cal! Money Touched 3 Per Cent.
American stocks failed to hold more
thar ii part of their initial rise in
London, but that market bought on
balance here, chiefly steel to the eX-
tent of perhaps 100 0 shares. Money
and discount rates were tirmer
abroad. Here call none again touch
ed three per cent, although the bulk
of the moderate offerings were under
that figure.
Railway Increases.

cluded those of ST. Paul, with "A net

a Market Firm.

o<SNS . u =
A wide sentiment prevails that oats
reserves are too small, to properly
take care of the expected demand.
The belief is spreading that seed oats
like other seed grain will not germin-
ate we'll. and with the light supply and
the necessity of increasing the seed per
acre, to take care of the field, against
the probable effect of non-growing
kernels, intensified the sentiment of a
very short supply to meet all wants.
Then with the high price of seed, its
general scarcity and too much seeding
without seed test will produce a feeble
Weld in the crop Of 1912 and possibly
decrease the acreage to be grown.
Receipts We're again Very light all
around and tended to firm up the
markets. Canada has oats to spare
and the advance is putting tn. trade
INTO position where Canadian imports
III competition may cut a wide swath.
Corn Conditions.
Corn receipts In Minneapolis we're
I unusually light there being only forty
cars in the six days against ninety
three cars for the corresponding time
in 1911. The situation OF the market
was firm and bore up we'll with less in
tcrest perhaps than other places
touching, with their supplies the
southwest, Yet. the market ran up
some sc during the week with ship
ments moderate. While there is some
damp corn arriving the proportion SO
conditioned is smaller than earlier in
the movement. AS 1t is now getting
toward expected warm weather the
belief is that the wetter lots were
earlier forwarded and largely went in
to quick consumption. Much atten-
ton it is advised was given to that
subject among farmers and belief
seems we'll entertained that the bulk
of that stuff so subject to impairment
and actual damage in transit had a IA
vorable effect.
The tendency of corn during the
past week was to move upward in
prices. with the new high levels very
we'll maintained and less Of fuctua-
tons tina at many other times.
strengthening prices came largely
from reports generally of smaller Of
ferings. in this and in other markets.
The situation in the southwest was es-
pecially noticeable owing to the call
Tor wide distribution to go into quick
consumption: The demand for ship
ments east showed less change to in
creasing activity on account Of the
sharp western advance. Fresh pre-
dictions Of storms throughout the
southwest. taken In connection with
past storms of late dates. also had a
hardening effect upon the markets.
Rough feed of all kinds has for so
long lacked in needed supplies, that
the fresh climatic conditions had
greater effect than they would if not
under the pressure Of feed scarcity.
Scarcity Of hay too with the high
prices OF it tended to increase the use
and large consumption Of corn.
The corn markets Of the southwest
seemed to show greater changes in
The upward move than hereabout.
Corn had been considered by many
market traders too high and in the
speculative arena many had gone
short on h market. The buying in OF
these aided also to put up prices. How
out Of the way. can hardly be conjec.

POOR SEED
CORN IN IOWA
One Test of 1000 Ears
Shows Only Bill Without
Dead Kernels.

Ames. April 3.-Just how serious
the seed corn situation is in Iowa was
demonstrated In an extensive test of
farmers seed corn conducted at Mason
i last week by a representative Of
the Iowa state college.
Of a thousand ears. coming from
ten different farms, where they had
been selected and set aside for seed
BECAUSE they seemed outwardly to be
the best, only Bill ears contained no
dead kernels and We're therefore tit for
planting. In M lot of 100 ears not a
single ear tit for seed fas found. In
two other lots Of 100 each. only seven
teen good ars We're found in each. In
a fourth lot of 100 ears. only twenty
were fit for seed. The best lot of 100
ears yielded only tifty-eight good
ears for planting. These tested ears
were not common cars: they We're
brought in for testing by reasonably
careful farmers who selected their
seed ears in the field last fall and tool
reasonable care of it through the WIN
ter, probably. They represented 1000
Of h best ars available on ten rep
resentative farms.
The cost of planting corn like that
without testing can be estimated.
Prof. NJ. l.. Mosher, Of the extension
department of the college and an en-
Lert in corn. says that to plant such
seed as tested at Mason City would
mean a reduction Of probably twenty
bushels per acre in the yield.
The 1000 ears in the first Mason
City test are not poorer than the aver
age. ! have just received a report of
a second testing of sever lots of 100
ears. In n lot. taken from the crib,
not a single kernel Of the 100 ears
proved live. In a second lot of 100,
only one ear was without dead kernels
and in a third only eight. The lots on
the whole were far worse than those
of the first test.
