Grain and Produce.

CHICAGO, April 19.-Europe is to
take our wheat. notwithstanding the
fact that there were no sales reported
at the seaboard today. Considerable
July and September wheat was sold
because there was no cash sales re-
ported by exporters. Before the day
was over, however. it was discovered
by the sellers that they had made a
mistake.
The fact was clearly demonstrated
today that the bulls hold the whip
hand and that they will be able to
name the price of wheat until the new
crop commences to move or there are
reports of crop deterioration.
Wheat Is scarce in all sections of
the country, yet the buyers continue
to claim that there is more of this
grain on the farms and in country ele-
vators than the bulls care to acknowf
edge.

Finance, Oil and Real Estate

NEW YORK, April 19.-In record
smashing day, with volume of trad
ing reaching the new total of nearly
4 .500,0 900 shares, prices were swept up
to new high levels under furious trad
ing in Steel, Union Pacific, Reading,
Amalgamated Copper and other we'll
known Issues. This eliminated about
2 o'clock in a very natural reaction,
led by a decline in Steel common,
which carried the price back some
four points from the high figuers OF
the morning.
Standard Issues which had advanc-
ed two or three points in the early
dealings ended with gains. while the
reaction was almost violent in the III
dustria1 and motor issues. where drops
of four to six points were numerous.
Stop-loss orders were caught right and
left and the decline was accelerated
by the short selling OF room traders.
The impression was current at the
close that the reaction should run fur
ther tomorrow, after which fresh buy
ing Is expected again to turn the mar
ket upwards.
Steel common was higher in London
than here before the opening for the
first time since was was declared.
Shorts were large buyers and the pub.
lie made extensive purchases during
the first hour. Jacob Field was a heavy
seller around 60h. anticipating the
afternoon break. which netted him q
large profit. Judge Gary's cautionary
statement regarding earnings did
much to help the bears.

Operation of the county option Law
bids fair to place the entire support
OF the Willmar inebriate hospital on
the revenue funds Of the state. Since
the end of 1914 the revenues from
the IL per cent tax on liquor licenses
have decreased sl0,0Sl according to
figures prepared by ]. A. A. preus,
state auditor. AS county after county
went dry the revenues to be expected
from these csunties have been oblit-
Grated
County option has further complicat-
ed matters by reason Of the fact that
the State Board of Control has out
standing $1,000 worth of certificates
of Indebtedness, which were issued in
advance of the tax collection for 1914
The collections amounted to $4S,593.
The difference probably will need to
be male up by legislative tppropria-
tion.
The figures supplied by Mr.. Preus
show that saloons of Ramsey county
supplied the largest portion OF the tax
for 1914. Ramsey paid in ss,49o. Hen
nepin sS,44S and st. Louis $7.03s. IL
the three large counties should go dry
nearly one-half the support for the In
ebriate hospital would be lost
As the revenue from saloon licenses
decreases the money needed to keep
up the hospital must be made up by
appropriations and In time if the whole
state were to so dry the entire burden
of maintaining the hospital would be
PLACED on the taxpayers at large.

That timber from state land valued
at s5o,0o0 to $500 has been cut un-
der government permits and the mo.
ney paid into the Indian funds came
to the attention of State Auditor ].
A. O. PreGs in a report from B. F.
Case, timber land clerk in his depart
ment. Mr.. Case wrote from Cass
Lake. where he has been investigating
the matter. and he was called in i'm
mediately by Mr.. Preus for . confer
ence. How the government happen
ed to sell timber of state land is not
known, The state will have to or
der scale OF the tops and stumps
and put in q claim. which it may take
an act OF congress to satisfy.
Il am finding considerable state
land" wrote Mr.. Case, from which
the timber has been cut under gov
ernment sale and supervision during
the last 10 or IL years. A stump and
top scale of each description should bs
made and I believe 1t will reveal that
10000. 900 to $4,000. 200. 900 feet of pine
timber has been cut from state. At
the government sale price, this would
bring $5e,e80 to $4,000"
Mr.. Preus does not know how the
government happened to sell timber
from lands patented to the state. and
will have an inquiry made at once.

Of the delicate diplomatic situation be-

cause Of the sinking of the Lusltania-was
accurately precedented in 1898 when Presi-
dent Mckinley visited Philadelphia and
spoke at the University Day exercises
one week after the Maine had been blown
up.
On February i6 the battleship, wrecked
by an explosion in Havana Harbor, had
sunk to the bottom, carrying to their
death 253 officers and men. BY Washing
toms Birthday public opinion had begun
to accept the theory of an exterior ex-
plosion. Jingoism was running wild.
Louder and louder from one end of the
country TO the other the cry for war was
rising.
The occasion for the speech at the
Academy of Music was the first public
appearance OF the chief executive after
the disaster. As Is the case tonight all
eyes were turned on him, and II was
btHeTdilN expected tnat MS utteranCeS
at that time would clear. one way or
another, the situation. While Washing
ton" was to be the subject of his address,
as was and still Is the custom on Uni
versity Day, II was felt that there would
be an opportunity for significant state
ments.
The address as delivered was a master
piece of calm, forceful reinsurance.
While Mr.. Mckinley did not refer direct
ly to the situation with Spain, the tone
was unmistakable and did much to check
the hysterta at the time. The President
said:
From the day our fag was unfurled
to the present hour, no stain of a Just
obligation violated has yet tarnished the
American name. This must and will be
as true in the future as It has been in
the past. Great applause and cries of
AmenO. There will be prophets of evil
and false teachers. Some part of the
column may waver and wander away
from the standard, but there will ever

serve It stainless and in honor CAP

The time is not ripe for the United
States to take action on the sinking of
the Lusitania. said Senator Blair Lee, of
Maryland, at the Aldine today. Full and
accurate reports of the disaster must be
obtained he said. before the problem
would be put squarely before this Gov
ernment.
Senator Lee was asked II he thought
an extra session of Congress would be
called.
You are the first person who has sug-
gested to me the idea of calling an extra
session." he said to a caller.
This point has not yet been raised
continued Senator Lee. Official circles as
we'll as others are taking the situation
calmly and have not yet been called on
to take action AS to whether Germany
is guilty of a breach of international law
II cannot be asCertained until we have
received the full facts of the case Until
these are submitted the Administration
cannot consider the case officially.
The thing for the United States to do
now Is to sit tight. Americans should not
get excited and urge rash action. no mat
ter how much their, feelings may be
wrought UP over the disaster"
Senator Lee is here to attend the fu-
neral of c. Clymer Brooke, who was his
brother-in-law.
