.FLATTER|NG CROP
 REPORT EXPECTED
Indications Tend to Lower Price of Wheat-Other
 Staples Advance

Chicago. April 6.--Chanees that the gov ernment crop report tomorrow will prove of the most flattering sort tended today to lower the price of wheat. The market closed easy at ssa11assc decline. Corn finished with a gain of ssnia@rsc; oats up 14,assdaHc. and provisions varying from a shade off to cents advance.
 Belief in bearish official report on the growing crop in this country, although of prime importance, was by no means the only influence causing the wheat market to sag. Contrary to what was expected, northwestern receipts were lib- eral and world shipments enlarged. Be- sides, about 100000 acres of western Kansas. which had been rather dry, re- ported general rains. and Liverpool sent word of cheaper offerings from Russia. Cash demand, too. was slow and export bids out of line, both at the seaboard and by way of the gulf
 It was in vain the bulls urged that the knowledge of nearly perfect crop conditions and of big acreage had hung over the wheat market for 60 days, that fully three months would elapse before another harvest in any part of the world, and that consumption mas been m prog ress at a rate never before equaled, NO important rally took place, and the last hour of trading saw the lowest prices of the day with July finishing at the bot tom level reached
 Despite free offerings from Argentina all along the coast from the St. Law renee to Texas, the corn market turned strong. The shortage of corn for quick domestic use by interior states was said 10 he growing more ur.ent. The Mis- souri April report disclosed only one third of supply compared with year ago.
 Wet weather that meant delay for seed ling brought independent frmness to oats.
 Provisions rallied on account of fair defand from the south. At the outset, however, the market seemed to be headed down grade in sympathy with a break in the price of hogs

 He had already travelled through Cana da. Australia, New Zealand Africa and England. had covered 3eO00 miles, and had yet 22.oo0 miles to walk. finishing up in 1916 One condition of the wager was that he must provide himself with wife before his world walk ended.
 He produced what purported to be a greeting from the provost of Wick. and the mayor. al his request, furnished him with a letter of introduction to the chair man of the Ennskylen Urban council. The document was sealed with the bor- ough seal and signed by the mayor, town clerk and Alderman Anderson.
 The visitor then held reception at the hotel and talkel eloauently of his walking powers and informed the company that he had already received more than 400 offers of marriage.
 Next day he left Derry on his way to the south of Ireland without remember ing to settle hls account. The police say that he is neither the son of a million- aire nor world walker.

FINEST STOWAWAY
 SURPRISES CREW
From the New York Herald.


 Seattle, Wash.--When the liner Con gress of the Pacific Coast Steamship d,m- pany docked here from California points she brought to Puget Sound the youngest stowaway in the history of the sea-litt,e Miss Juliet Benjamin, AZ years old--who successfully smuggled herself on board the huge vessel at San Francisco and re- vealed herself to the crew only after it was too late to return her to shore.
 With an agility and strategy far be- yond her years the child ran away from her mother at the San Francisco pier just as the Congress was ready to leave for Seattle, hid herself in a clothes closet up- til the Golden Gate had been passed and permitted discovery only when it was impossible for the big steamship to re- trace her route.
 Excitement reigned when the wee miss demurely stepped out of the closet and announced that she had run away from her mother. The awe-stricken members of the crew took the stowaway before the captain and there Juliet explained the reason for her extraordinary exploit.
 "T wanted to be with daddy" she said. Investigation showed that her father was a juior engineer on the Congress and he took care of the venturesome little one. The wireless was sent forthwith mo- tifying the worried mother that the babe had been found and Juliet was given the right of way in every part of the vessel

FORTY MILLION STAMPS
 MANUFACTURED EACH DAY

Something of the prosperity of a coun- try and the standard of it's intelligence may be gauged by the necessary issuance of it's postage stamps. Through the ef- forts of GOO men and women employed for this purpose by the bureau of en- graving and printing 4o,0000o0 stamps are each day manufactured, counted and put up in packages ready for shipment to the 6o000 postoffices throughout the United States, says the Washington Star. Dur ing the last fiscal year a total value of s1S5. .504. $50. 20 was realized from this soucre by the government; 5S6,117 pounds of ink were required for printing such an out put, and the paper used came from 1500 spruce trees ground to a pulp. These trees were cut on the mountains of North Carolina, and had they been converted Into lumber 60 well appointed bungalows might have been built of them.
 When it is determined to issue a new stamp the matter is discussed by the officials having charge of the several branches of the service involved, and the conclusions reached are embodied in a model made by a trained designer and submitted for criticism to the officers first considering the subject. The model is then modified in accordance with any criticism agreed upon, and finally ap- proved by the Postmaster General. The original engraving Is neser printed from except to make what is known as die proofs.
 The approved design is placed in the hands of the engravers, who cut it upon 8 small piece of annealed steel. After the approval of a proof of this engrar- ing it is heated red hot in cyanide of potassium and hardened by sudden dip ping into oil and water. This single en- graved subject Is duplicated 400 times uron the large plates that the stamps a'e printed from by means of trans fer process. method of reproducing en- graving that was devised many years ago by Jacob Perkinsg, an American. who also originated the present method of duplicating banknotes.
 The gum on the back of postage stamps Is made by scientifically roasting the highest grade of tapioca starch such as is used for making pudding. If the 45Ol50 pounds used last year in the manufac- ture of stamps by the government had been converted instead into pudding 1t would have given a meal to everybody in New York city.

PRICE MOVEMENTS
 NARROW IN STOCKS
Progressive Slowing Down of Business on Exchange
 Carried Further

New York April 6.-The progressive slowing down of business on the stock exchange was carried further today. and much of the time the market was at a stand-still. Price movements were narrow, and in only few cases did they vary a point from Saturdays close.
 In spite of the small amount of buy ing. there was still apparent tbe scar1l- ty of stocks which has been a noticea- ble feature of the market for some time. To satisfy the scattering buying orders it was necessary to raise quo tations slightly in nearly every case Toward the close the list eased orr slightly. Total transactions were not far above the 100000 mark.
 Almost the only evidence of public interest lay in the sustained inquiry for high grade bonds. Accumulation of idle money here, which Is largely the out growth of sluggish business conditions, has progressed to a point where large volume of funds is seeking employ ment.
 The unexpected loss in cash shown in Saturdays bank statement checked the downward course of money rates, but it is not expected that there will be any permanent departure from cur rent easy conditions.
 A large number of railroads, oper- ating in various sections, made their February returns today, and in almost every case severe shrinkages in earn ings were shown. Canadian Paclnc showed some heaviness, probably on ac- count of a slump in the London market. London was occupied with the settle ment. and did virtually nothing here.
 Prices of some bonds yielded, but in general the bond market was firm. To- 'tal sales. s2O4O,O0O. United States 2s, registered, declined Is on call.

MUCH COTTON|S OFFERED FOR SALE
Disappointing Cables and Better Weather South
 Creates Reaction

New York, April 6.-The cotton mar ket opened steady at a decline of 3 to points today and sold about to 1S points net lower during early deal ings.
 The disappointing cables and better weather in the south seemed to create reaetionary sentiment and there was a good deal of cotton for sale.
 On the decline, however. there was renewed buying of May and July and the market rallied to 1 points before the end of the first hour.
 Request for summer months became less active after the close of Liverpool around noon. The market was un- settled in the forenoon hours. The ac- tive months were about to 12 points net down.
 Trade was less active during the early afternoon. Prices sold about to 1S points net lower unded liquidation and scattered local pressure.

NET LOSS IN THE
 COTTON MARKET Liquidation of Long Cotton Mixed With Fresh Short
 Selling Responsible

New Orleans, April 6.-Liquidation of long cotton. mixed with scattered fresh short selling. weighed against the price of cotton today. Little recuperative power was shown at any time. Opening to 6 points down, the decline was gradually widen out until in the afternoon it was 15 to 16 points The close was at net loss of IA to 15 points.
 Liquidation appeared to be stimulated by the approaching Easter holidays more than anything else. Owners of long con- tracts seemed anxious to reduce their holdings. While short selling was encour- aged to some extent by the favorable weather map, the outlook for rains in the next day or two prevented the growth of bearish sentiment regarding the new crop.
 The ring showed a marked change over the conditions prevailing last week. when. up to the close, the demand was keen for contracts. Today's offerings were met by only small inquiry.

 A steadiness appeared later in the day with, however, only Q slight regaining of values. The large short interest was eliminated during last weeks large trad ing and the crop outlook becomes I fea- ture of greater interest daily.
