market had a sharp advance today
with Anal figures showing a gain of
"a cents for the December. and
May futures. compared with yester-
days closing quotations.
Chicago December wheat is up 2 S-S
cents, May wheat 8 cents higher. The
Chicago market has been relatively
the strongest. Tho market evidently
became over sold on the recent break
and when buying orders came into
the market there was not enough
wheat for sale to fill the demands.
Spring wheat exporters claimed that
export business was slow but Balti-
more and other eastern points report
ed q brisk demand.
Firmness in the coarse grains also
contributed to the strength in the

Chicago, the Herald says: Wheat
traders said last night that the heavy
selling of December and May wheat
in the last few days has been to iqui-
date holdings of eastern bulls bought
before the recent war scare. Traders
said last night that with the large ex-
port business on 1t was not wise to
press the bear side despite the fact
that outside speculative trade is light.
It was the impression of the corn
bulls and many Of the commission
houses that while prices may sag
few cents lower there is little to be
made on the short side Of corn.

IOwa's Wealth.

Iowa with more than 100000
automobiles has as many as any
other state in the Union, ranking
about equal to New York and
Pennsylvania, next highest.
A remarkable fact is that with
100000 people Iowa has more
automobiles than Germany with a
population of 6S,OOHOOO. Accord
ing to a recent issue of the Berlin
Tegeblatt there are 93,072 automo-
.biles in the Kaiser's kingdom.
1t is probably not too much to
say that Iowans spend in up-keep,
wagea entertainment, ETC., grow
ing out of their ownership of auto
mobiles, approximately 1925, 900
600 a year. For all Of that, Iowa
has as yet no pronounced class dis
t.nctions. There are not to exceed
a dozen very rich men in the state.

WHY SUGAR WILL BE HIGH.

The best thing we can do is to
shut down on the use of sugar, for
it will come to that sooner or later,
il the wars go on, says the Cedar
Rapids Republican.
Like the foolish virgins of the
scriptures, we have failed to provide
ourselves with our own sugar, al
though we have for a decade been
taught the Importance of so doing.
Secretary Wilson started the beet
sugar industry in America, encour-
aged it and eXhorted congress to ac-
ton. The tariff was arranged so
that we could do it and we had made
a good start on the way, when the
democrats changed the tariff which
the sugar makers at home, both the
beet sugar men of the north and the
cane sugar men of the south said
stopped them-and they voted to-
shut down.
The only mistake we have made
is that we did not encourage sugar
enough and now we realize it.
Two-thirds of our sugar comes
from Europe, from Germany mostly,
then from France and Russia, where
it is made of beets and beet culture
there is fostered by the govern
ments.
With that supply shut off we shall
be woefully short of one of the sta
pies, one of the necessities-and SUI
gar will be high in spite of edicts
against high prices.
Sugar in DEBORAH is selling at
$3.50 a hundred, just about double
the price before the European war.
