CHICAGO, March 20.-Wheau displayed
considerable strength at the opening this
morning when prices were = q &c higher.
There was disposition, however, on the
part of these with profits to secure them
and this caused a partial price setback.
The May ranged between $685. QS95sc and
the July between SO to 1914 a az North
western receipts were larger than year
ago, but smaller than a week ago. Ship
mentS from that country were nearly
5000. 900 bushels for a short week, and
the Australian shipments were also lib
eral at l,SOO 600 bushels for a short week.
There IS cold wave in the northwest
and It Is coming this way. The buying
was led by shorts early.
Corn was up "a a &c and firm.
oats were ~ &c higher in sympathy
with other grains.
Hogs were lower at the yards and pro-
vision prices were weak, with May pork
sharply lower
side during the last half hour OF to-day's
session in order to even up their position
over the holiday, and as the wheat was
held tightly the market was bid upward
in a lively manner-May advancing to
sOA July TO S9% a y, and September at
S9A, with best prices fairly well sus-
tanned al the close. and showing net
gains of Is to sc for the day.
The May future displayed the greater
strength Of the list as shorts seemed to
want that month in larger quantities
than the others. There was no export
demand to speak Of, only 80 600 bushels
changing hands at Omaha, which will be
sent abroad via the gulf.
Corn closed u to &c higher and showed
great strength One of the features OF
the corn market was the selling of the
May futures by Clement-Curtis, who are
supposed to be acting for the cotton
crowd. who are long a big line of May
in the Chicago market
oats were up u to nc.
Provisions veered around and closed
strong and higher under short covering
over the holidays
Cash sales of wheat were 70. 900 bush

Dislike Democratic Plan to

BANKERS at the head of national

plan is no better than some that have
been tried, I would condemn It heartily.
But perhaps this administration, which
80 ! believe. unusually able, will sue
coed in drafting scheme free from
Objectionable features. I want to wait
before giving my views"
B. G.. Forbes, the noted New York
writer on financial and commercial top
les has his eye on the situation, and
j declares that the Democrats, headed by
Bryan, are determined to push de-
r0sits guarantee plan for national banks
through congress. He writes:
The government will not itself guar
antee deposits, but will compel the ma
tional banks to shoulder the burden.
Democratic leaders. l am told, have
sounded the various factions at WASH
ington and have found that the proposal
will be supported by the extreme radi-
calls. as well as by the regulars in
congress.
The intention is to carry through
the measure at all costs.
Banks Must Bear Burden.
As already stated, the Federal gov
eminent will not undertake payment of
losses, but will throw the whole respon-
sloility upon the combined banks. For
administrative purposes the country
VIII probably be divided into a number
or zones, or bank associations.
The national banks will fight the
plan with all their might, but that the
administration has irrevoCably made UP
us mind TO place this enormously i'm
portant innovation upon the statute
books is conceded.
From inside banking sources l re-
-elVed this statement:
The proposed legislation to guar
"ltee all national bank deposits will in
all probability be jammed through. The
ming is almost unthinkable, but that
Goes not alter the situation.
Guaranteeing deposits places a pre-
mum upon reckless banking, for de-
P0sits will go to those who offer, the
'sAest rates of interest and who. in
''Asequence, must use the funds thus
obtained in a risky way in order to
earn profit. The outlook is most dis
.urbing

FOREST RESERVATIONS.

Tn the work of forest reservation an important step has been taken by the national commission in charge of such work which has recommende ed the purchase by the government of three large tracts including one in New Hampshire. These tracts have been investigated and their approval carries weight with the government, though 1t has taken a long time to bring about any action whatever. The New Hampshire tract of 750O acres is a most valuable acquisition being a virgin forest which makes the total acreage in the national reservation of that section 90. .0o0.
 Such acquisition of forest land means not only most valuable pro- lection to the forests of the country, but it also means that the retention as such will he of great benefit as a protection to the water supplies of the states both as to it's effect upon rivers and reservoirs Whatever use is made of the forests for lumber will be done in accordance with approved methods of cutting and not by the tactics fol- lowed by sawmill gangs whose in vasions of wooded territory are mark cd by the denuded hills and valleys. T. is an important endeavor which is being carried out under the provisions of the Weeks act from which not only the particular sections which are chosen as the reservations. but the entire country will receive benefit. Conservation of natural resources is receiving more and more attention each year.

WHEN THE APPLES ARE IN BLOOM

you? Tell the truth now before it is too late.''
 Lucy fearlesslye made answer that she was ready to go forward in their plans. You will find am no coward and, if we have our health. in a few years a comfortable home of our own will make forget the hardships Of the small beginning we must make. Don't worry about me. am equal to all shall encounter. I fancy, and such a life with you will make me happier than any life without you. Say no more about it. It Is my choice to go with you"
 So when the orchard was in bloom, there was a pretty wedding beneath the apple boughS. and wedding feast was spread where so many birthdays had been similarly celebrated. A low ely bride was Lucy in her simple white gown and decorations of apple blos- soms No money had she spent in fashionable furbelows. but she car ried to her new home of goodly stole of furnishings for that home in the wilderness She knew well that no time for sewing would be found for a long time after reaching her journeys end.
 Neither did she regret her decision to come to that dwelling among the wilds of the West. Strong and we'll. the outdoor life in that wonderful climate kept them both in the best of
  pie life was much more to her mind than the formalities of her old life at the East.
 Attractive and winsome she sooa made friends with those she met and found that neighbors ten miles apart could prove kindly and helpful as well as though the distance between them were less. Most of these people were young and enterprising. and braving hardships for a time that they mIgn1 be at greater ease later in life and they found in the Westerners real addition to the community.
 Cheerful letters she sent back to her eastern relatives. making light of her privations and boasting of her success as home maker.
 How proud were they when their little shanty of two rooms was reauy for occupancy! With what delight Lucy put in place the small stock of furniture they had obtained. much of it being the result of Harry's leisure hours and Lucy's ingenious contriv- ance.
 As she had predicted. a few years saw them established in a comforta- ble house on a prosperous domain of their own, and influential members of a thriving settlement. Harrys ability made him a marked man from the first and Lucy's helpful disposition led her to be valued as one to be re- lied on in any emergency where wom- ans wit and skill were needed.
 Never for one moment did she re- gret her decision to try the pioneer life of the West.

IMPORTING BEEF.

For the purpose of helping out the supply of dressed beef in this coun- try. it is not unlikely that Argentina and Australia will become large con- tributors to the demands of this coun- try. It has been demonstrated that the cattle industry in this country is on a decline while the demand would naturally require an increased produc- ton. It is but natural that it must be met and being unable to do it within. the supply must come from without the country. Extensive graz ing lands are available in both Argen- tina and Australia and those coun tries are already turning out great quantities of beef for England and the Philippines. Bringing beef from such distant points will entail additional costs so that while the supply will be insured it may have no appreciable effect upon the price.
 The intention to develop the cattle raising facilities of the countries to the south is indicated by the establish ing of large refrigerating plants in Argentina by packers from this coun- try and that four new steamers have been ordered and additional refriger- alton space secured in others to take care of the meat trade which is car ried on between Australia and San Francisco. This of course means that those in control of that business are simply looking out for their supply, in view of the decrease which is being steadily manifested in this country. What effect it will have, if any. upon the high prices remains to be seen.

THE PRESIDENT IN NEW JERSEY

Important questions. the reorganiza- ion of the government, the extra ses- sion. as well as international prob lens have crowded the opening months of President Wilson's adminis- trstion. There has been and there is a pressure of business at Washington which requires no small amount of at tention but in the midst of it the pres jient is devoting several days to work il behalf of his plan for jury reform in his own state of New Jersey It is undoubtedly true that he is deeply interested in the improvement of con- ditions in that state and that he is well qualified to urge the reform meas ure which he Is so desirous If secur- ing. but with so many matters of greater importance 10 the entire coun- try ft Is questionable whether the idea of dropping his duties as president and taking up personally the championship of a state issue is just the proper pro- cedure at this important stage in his administration
 Precedent is something of course which the president regards or not as it coincides with his ideas. but as the chief executive there is plenty of opportunity for waging as strong fight for national reforms. It cannot be that he Is alone in the demand for the change of the New Jersey jury system. and his motive in opposing corruption cannot be questioned. but the question naturally arises will he find it necessary to desert Washing ton every time an important measure Is brought up in that state in the fu- turee

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
A Protesting Minority.

When you find three young cads and idiots going about together and getting drunk together every day you usually find that one of the three cads and idiots is (for some extraordinary reason) not a cad and not an idiot, writes Chesterton.
 The third man is a symbol of the eternal protesting minority of the race.
 Two men out of three will go with the crowd; the third man may go with the crowd also. but he sees that the crowd is wrong.
 The third man votes with his party, not because he believes in it, but be- cause it is the best he can do under the circumstances
 To the third man nothing he does is quite what he wants to do; all prac- tfcality is a makeshift. He has ideals. His models of perfection are all in his thought. Every deed is a poor compromise.
 The third man is full of mystery, dissatisfaction, utopianism.
 He goes with the other two fellows because of his unconquerable instinct for human companionship.
 He would be useless without the other two; they would be worse than useless without him.
 The third man does and doubts, which is the way to better doing.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Rebuke to Women Voters.

Mir Editor: May I ask you to find space in your paper for a rebuke ad- ministered to the women voters of Berkeley, California, by their mayor himself a jealous advocate and lee turer for suffrage. It is one more of many evidences of the indifference that usually follows the attaining of an end built more on enthusiasm than conviction. The mayor says:
 There is mob violence in some countries and strident oratory else where on behalf of votes for women. Here in California we have woman suffrage. and Berkeley Is one of the star centers of that movement. Surely adequate playground facilities for 1000 children is subject for woman's s thought and vote. and yet, out of 5000 women voters only about 1, ,500 of them cared enough to vote on this import
