who are managing the purchase OF
breadstuffs from Argentina, America
and other exporting nations, are at
tempting to convey the idea to the
United States especially that tho crop
prospects in England Germany and
other countries depending upon tho
United States for large supplies. are
above normal. This Is the case espe-
cfnlly with Germany.
Latest cable advices from the Liver
pool Corn Trade News says that Jour-
mars advices from Berlin and other
points In Germany are OF good crop
prospects and of Il larger area seeded
than could have been hoped for few
measures have been taken by Germany
to seed all the available land in the
invaded district OF France.
Broomhall. however. says that Eu-
rope normally raises majority OF the
worlds wheat and that ii has been
learned by careful investigation that
the crop shrinkage from the loss Of
acreage and otherwise will he great
this year.
The movement OF wheat to primary
markets keeps mp to good proportions
as compared with last year. the total
last week being 2,Sil. 900 bushels. com
pared with 100000 bushels the week
before. Farmers not only in the
northwest. but I'm the Southwest are
holding their wheat firmly. and ii is
likely that they will continue to do so
until they are prepared to say as to the
final outcome of the crop.
The wheat trade is now confined to
the professionals. with no hedging
transactions to speak of, and the bust
ness mainly on purely speculative ac-
count hedging sales small be-
cause the export business i'm wheat ha 8
fallen off largely the last two or three
weeks.
1t is said. however. that there Is
more doing in cash wheat. not only ~
chicago, but at the seabonrd than is
reported from day to day. The export
clearances last week were smaller than
the previous week. but II was said this
falling Off was the result OF exporters
being unable to obtain the grain, as
well as to the scarcity OF tonnage on
the ocean
Stocks OF corn are liberal at chica-
go, and there Is no outlet Mt the mo-
ment. There will be free deliveries OF
corn on contract for May. and 1t is
likely that the supplies held here will
change hands several times during the
coming month. Argentina will supply
Importing countries with all the corn
needed.
There Is continuation OF the big
business In cash oats. but advices from
the seaboard say many there contra
dict the reported sales. and point to
the small clearances, than looked for
as backing up their argument.
lhere is big supply Of hogs i'm the
western country, and while farm work
soon will be rushed, it is expected that

and lard Is unsatisfactory while stocks

STOCK MARKETS WEEK

NEW YORK. April 11.-Last week

as to activity, but in he rise of quoted

Washington Letter.

Washington, D. c., August 81
The Democratic Congress is response
bic for heavy loss, both in money
and efficiency, in the work of the office
OF Public Roads.
Three important phases of the good
roads development practically had to
be abandoned for a year because the
Democrats failed to pass before the
close Of the fiscal year of 1913, the
Agricultural Appropriation bill, which
provides money for good roads.
The first loss fell upon the expert
mental road work portion of each
years appropriation is devoted to ex-
perimental road building in and near
Washington, in order to make scien-
tific tests and discover improved
methods in road construction. The
officials could not carry out these
tests properly. The delay in securing
their appropriations caused an esti-
mated loss of about one-tenth of the
fund, with an even greater loss in eff
ficiency because many of the expert
The second loss occurred because
officials were unable to contract for
new work until the money was actual
ly appropriated. 1t is a maxim in good
road building that work undertaken
must be completed in the same sum-
mer. Congress failed to appropriate
the money until nearly the middle of
August. Before bids could be secur-
ed and contracts let, fall was ap-
preaching and the roads would not be
completed. Machinery either had to
be moved to warmer localities or re-
main idle, all of which entered into
the account of the bids. The new
roads cost more and their construc-
ton was delayed for an entire season.
The third loss occurred in connec-
ton with furnishing government engi-
neers to communities to give adj
vice in local road building. Scores of
these experts were in Washington at
the time, ready to start for local
points as son as Congress passed the
bill There was nothing they could
do here, and no money to send them
to the field
When the appropriation bill was fl
nally passed, it was too late for many
OF them to report to the local commit
tees to which they had been assigned
Their efficiency was destroyed and
their salaries and expenses were a to-
tai loss during the weeks they were
delayed by the inaction of the Demo-
cratic Congress.

THE UMPIRE.

painting of an umpire standing over a
player who has just slid over the
home plate with the winning run, and
calling him out.
A fan there was and he made this

score was tied,
And the throw from center field went
wide
An owl could have seen it, if he had

But it's being robbed by a man like

Who never did know where he was at,
And could not understand.
