ACTIVE BUYING IF
 WHEAT YESTERDAY
Market Makes Net Gain as Result of Crop Damage.
 Advance in Corn

Chicago, April 20.-Active buying of wheat resulted today from crop dam age in Kansas and because of diminish ing stocks. both interior and at the seaboard The market in consequence made net gain of @115e. Corn finished at an advance of a shade to .A e ssc. but oats Is @1 i4c down. Latest trading left provisions all the way from last nights level to 1OQ121ae be- low
 Wheat closed at the highest point of the season. despite lively profit taking of the week end sort. New investors absorbed all the offerings and took up heed of warnings that perhaps 1t was a case of the eleventh hour. Four im- portant counties in eastern Kansas were specified as having fallen in crop IS per cent within month, with the average decidedly below normal throughout district of 225,000 acres. Beneficial rains in Nebraska and bor- dering states brought about the only important setback of the day, but the effect failed to last.
 Predictions were current of million bushels a week decrease hereafter in the amount of wheat in store at Min neapolis, and there was also a report that all the cash wheat in New York had beeen sold out. Connected with this gossip was suggestion that the French import duty might have to be suspended as prices at Paris were the highest since 1898. During the day the July option here ranged from s1.09 1s q 1.097s closing It $1.09& @ 1.097s. just one-quarter above last night
 Shorts ran up the price of corn, but realizing on the part of longs took the edge off the market later. The week s receipts in Chicago were 1,100,0 900 bushels less than the shipments. July fiucturated between 7615 @77isc, with the close steady at 76ssc a net gain of shade. In the cash division best lots held firm, but poor corn was lower. No. yellow was not quoted. Indica- tions seemed clear that the leading longs in May oats were abandoning their position Fully 1,500,000 bushels were scheduled to be unloaded from boats to elevators here Monday morn tracts Competition from Canada in eastern markets was assigned as the reason. Upper and lower levels touched by July proved to be 547sc and 54c with final sales at 54bc, loss of lsc net.
 The provision trade had a heavy tone, inspired by larger receipts of hogs here an dat the west. Pork showed the chief decline at the close, 10c to 10M12hc.

Baking Bread From Sawdust

I rom Harper Neekly.
 In the city of Berlin there Is bak cry that turns out daily, 10000 loavcs of sawdust which serve as food for horses. The composition of these. how ever, Is one-third rye flour. It is sald that fin case of famine such bread wuold be sufficiently nutrtive for hu- man beings and not at all disagree able.
 Indeed. "sawdust bread" is not in it's ingredients, perhaps, very different from certain food that savages extract from the bark of trees. The marrow of the sago palm furnishes a kind of white bread or flour. In Lapland q great delicacy is a little round cake made of the rind of the pine tree very finely pounded and cooked In frying pan, In Kamschatka this rind serves the purpose of bread, as does also that of the common birch.
 In Siberia bread Is made of a kind ol moss which grows on the trunks of tho fir. After this has been sprinkled with water it commences to ferment and farms balls the size of a mans head and Is then cooked in deep ovens made of stones, the walls of which are first well heated. Travellers who have eaten this food say that 1t Is not unpleasan, to the palate.
