Splendid Wheat and Corn Situation

Chicago. March 11.-Europe is indo-
lent as to wheat purchases in North
America. This suggests a repetition
of early 1913 when United States eX-
ports waned in February and March
but doomed in April and May at H.
0OO,OO per month from the United
States. Foreign indifference might
cause a slight extensio nof the March
break, but should not be regarded the
forerunner of a weak market.
Wheat surplus estimates from Aus
tralia, India and the Argentine are
not conclusive. The surplus prospect
of India is evidently in excess of Feb
ruary anticipation. Argentine surplus
estimates continue their parade of sur
prisingly feeble amounts.
Our winter wheat reports continue
high and an April condition of 80 to SO
is indicated. Our sectional reports
from Illinois indicate corn scarcity in
western and southern Illinois. Central
Illinois reports are mixed as to scar
city. Some sections of Illinois report
corn imports for first time in years.

The new democratic tariff law is get
ting in its work on the government rev
enues in great shape. The law had
been in force six months on April LIST
and the customs receipts for those six
months are $25, 900, 900 less than for the
same. months under the republican tar
if law. This means dropping off of
at least $50, 900, 900 annually from the
customs receipts which must be made
good from other sources.

AFRICA GOOD FIELD
 FOR COTTON GOODS
Ellison \. Smyth Declares Southern States Have Advantageous Posi-
 tion for Export Trade.

Washington. May 27.-"Commercial
 Conditions in Southern States, With Special Reference to Foreign Trade were reported upon by Ellison A. lecturers association of South Carolina facturers association of South Carolina in an address today before the Ma tional Foreign Trades convention.
 With three times as large a produc- tion of cotton as in 1860 and with a selling price which has doubled. the southern states are in a particularly advantageous position for the develop ment of foreign trade, the speaker de- Clared. E yf,
 Aside from shipments of raw cotton there was a constantly widening field for export of cotton fabrics-a world s trade which amounts to some $1.200- 100000 annually. he said. The United states, with twenty-two per cent of the spindles and two-thirds of the raw material, was cutting into this huge trade to the extent of only five per cent annually.
 He pointed to Africa and the Philip pines as the most promising field for present development of export trade from the southern states. Africa" he said. with population of 170.- C00,000 or more than that of North and South America combined, promises to be one of the largest mar kets for cotton goods in the world, - particularly since climatic conditions make cotton the principal material for clothing. and the development of natural resources of the country is so rapidly enhancing the purchasing power of the natives. Tt Is a field" he added, "Well worth the attention of American cotton manufacturers"

STOLE SIX POUNDS
 COOKED MEAT
sing Sing Prison Convict Must Now Serve Four Months in Addition
 to His Minimum Sentence.

New York, May 27.-By court of his fellow prisoners a convict in Sing. Sing prison yesterday was found guilty of having stolen six pounds of cooked meat from the mess room, and Warden Clancy. acting upon the recommendations of the judges, fined the thief 36O marks, which means that he must serve four months in addition to his minimum sentence. This is the first time in many years, it is said, that a convict court has been called together at Sing Sing.
 For some time there have been com plaints among the prisoners against what they term the severity of tho punishments prescribed by the war den for infractions of prison rules Recalling these criticisms MT. Clancy called the court to decide the case.
 When the accused prisoner said he had been framed" the court ordered him to put on his coat with the meat in it, after it had been weighed.
 Do you mean to tell this court that you did not know you had six and a half pounds of meat under your coat?" the presiding judge asked.
 'I certainly did not"
 The court retired to another room and in a few minutes. returned with q verdict of guilty and asked the war den to intlict the severest penalty, as the man had stolen meat, thus de- priving other prisoners of food.

There is no known intention of making any fresh representations at this stage, although without doubt the Bauch case will figure in the final adjustment of claims to be preferred against the Mexican government when peace is restored,.s
 Bauch disappeared two days after his arrest. and friends who visited the jail with food and bedding could get no trace of him. It is generally supposed he was executed.

New York, May 27.-For more than an hour today Joseph w. Folk chief counsel for the interstate com merce commission conferred with Francis Lynde Stetson, of counsel for the firm of J. Pierpont Morgan X Co, concerning MT. Morgan's offer to all low the commission to examine the firms records relating to the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road. A statement issued by MT. Folk after the conference indicated that there had been some difference of opinion as to what papers and re- cords should be gone into. MT. Stet- son left the conference apparently with this feature not finally deter mined. It is understood that he will report to Mir. Folk later.
 We insist" said Mir. Folk, that the examiners shall decide for them selves what books and papers of the firm relate to the New Haven. We also insist that these examiners shah not be confined to books and papers handed them and said to be all that relate to the New Haven. In other words. the examination to be worth anything must be thorough. We want all the books and papers or none at all"
 "The results will show" said MT. Stetson, briefly. There is the firms offer, and the offer has been acs cepted. That is all l have to say now. The conference today was one of procedure only.'

San Francis, O. May 27.-Rafael Ar iaga also known as Fernando Palaci- os, who was reported to have come here as the agent of Constitutionalist General Obregon to purchase vessels and military equipment, was arrested yesterday, ~
 The complaint alleges that Arriaga was Obregon's agent here for two years, that he had received $7.1S5 from Obregon, that he had refused an accounting of the funds, and that he is believed to have appropriated S4,000 to his own use.
 For some time the federal port au- thorities have been watching Arriaga upon the report that he was purchas- ing and outtitting vessel of war for MeXico.
