WAR EXCITEMENT
 SENDS PRICES UP
Close Strong n Grains With Net Gains All Around
 in Provisions

Chicago, April 2o.-War excitement helped carry prices higher today for every speculative article, on change. The close was strong all around with net gains as follows
 Wheat. 11sa1%c; corn, 19sa1Bc; oats, %@1c; provisions. 171sQ55c.
 Just why the actual developments in Mexico were sufficient to put the wheat market up with decided force was not well explained beyond the Idea that un- foreseen possibilities would have to be al lowed for There was no denying, how ever. that shorts were much Hurried, and that other traders had taken ad- vantage of the feeling of nervousness and were disposed for the time being to reap all the reward possible on the bull side of the market,
 Complaints of increasing menace from dry weather in Kansas and Nebraska formed an important additional reason for activity in the buying of wheat. Some export business at New York and Kansas City counted also against the bears. espe- cially as the day neared an end. It was further said that mllers northwest were figuring on taking round lots out of store.
 Aside from the effect of war talk, the price of corn had an upward slant on account of torrential rains in Argentina. Moreover the stiffness of domestic re- ceipts coupled with good sized shipments from primary centers led to an increas- ing belief that the. big stock in Chicago would get into the hands of consumers at fairly satisfactory rate.
 Cash sales here today reached 450,00O bushels or more, making the total for two days about 100000 bushels. Oats bulged with other grain, though selling at times was of somewhat determined sort Prospects of moisture soon was what induced resistance by the bears.
 Good southern demand for meats had much to do with bringing about the big advance in provision. A break in tho value of hogs virtually was ignored l. Future quotations were as follows:

GENERAL RAINS OVER
 TEXAS COTTON BELT
At Highest Active Months IA to 15 Points Over
 Tuesdays Figure

New Orleans, April 22.-Rains in Texas and promise of more for large part of the belt were the main sustaining influ- ence in the cotton market today The Mexican situation was the basis of some buying, but no great disposition was shown to trade on it. At the highest the active months were 14 to 15 points over yesterdays last quotations. The close was 12 to 13 points over
 The weather map and official reports indicated that the better part of the Texas cotton belt had received general rains. This was regarded as being very un- favorable and certain to give the crop a further setback.
 The market was quiet and the demand was not large, but at no time were offer ings at all plentiful. Short selling was not much in evidence.

Business on Morris avenue yesterday was fair and considered good for the middle of the week. fne demand Is met by a good, stiff supply and prices remain unchanged.
 The demand for hens was very good yesterday and the merchants talked opt- nistcally of the prospects for an even better demand in the near future. Hens are coming in just little better now and 1t would not be surprising should there be a slight drop in prices within the next few days. Eggs remain un- changed.

BENNY DRAWS SENTENCE
New York, Jan. 24.-"Dopey Ben
n.y. Fein, gangster, was sentenced to
five years in Sing Sing today for
the murder of Max Levine, chief rival
of Fein for the leadership of the gun
gang formerly led by big jack
Seig.
Max Minsky, one of Fein's lieuten-
ants, was also put on trial before
Judge Mulqueen for murder.
A near panic was caused in the
criminal courts building when a
squad of detectives swept through
the corridors and drove gunner and
gang sympathizers into the street.
Nathan Perlmutter, principal wit
ness against Minsky, has been pro-
vided with an armed guard, and he
said his life was in danger.
Judges and police are cooperating
in thorough cleanup of the gangs
that have created reign of terror
Oh the East Side All gunner ar
rested are being placed under heavy
bonds, and one man, who fired at two
policemen, was sent "up the river"
for AZ months.
Mayor MitchePs orders to police
men to use their clubs were rigidly
adhered to. In every clash between
officers and gunner, when the latter
did not move on at once, broken
heads resulted.
