CHICAGO GRAIN.

Chicago. Feb. Big premiums paid for
the cash wheat over the May futures today. This
shows that the situation is growing strungrr that
the buying orders held here on foreign account
Of the unlimited description and that the pIr-
chascs must be made regardless of values The
May future was up as much as Sac today and
the net gain was sc. At time since the war
broke out has the feeling been a. rampantIy
buIIish a. today or have the buying orders been as
pressing and the holders finn in their views.
The raids q the German submarines on the
imports Of hreadstufs intended for tho United
Kingdom are expected tn greatly hamper the
export business but this failed any halt in the
buying today. Sales Of cash wheat here were
small at 3o!OO bushels exporters unable
70 secure the grain. Duluth reported two carEOes
taken by LIndon. The buying power here was
reflected in the smaller markets Of this continent
as sharp advances were reTOTtcd from the South
west, the Northwest and from tn Canadian mar
kets. The Oklahoma official report gives the con
dition Of the growing winter wheat plant in that
States as -. loss OF % points, compared with q
year aEo.
The condition month ago was 81. The greatest
bull help IN the wheat market the decrease
Of 3Di 90 bushels in the visible supply the last
week The total is 90. - 90 bushels the
largest part Of which it is said has been sold
to 90 out a. rapidly as vessels can be secured.
The country was reported selling neither
wheat, corn nor oats in even moderate siEed guam
titles
Corn and oats sympathized with the advance in
wheat in measure closing 4 10 &C better for
both grains but there were reactions from the
highest levels on profit taking. Cash sales Of
cTn were 5000 bushels, with 900 bushels for
export and 10000 bushels oats with none for sI-
port
There was a large commission house demand
for May and July pork and those commodities led
in the carly advance. but declined late on profit
taking. Packers credited with free selling
Of lard rihs. The strength shown in the grain
markets helped publications. Cash trade in meats
and lard was fair.

ABsENT-MINDED JACKIEs

In times before Lord Fisher, ad-
miral of the British fleet. became SUI
perintendent of the Portsmouth dock
yard, the dockyard was regarded sort
of snug harbor for sailors. In fact, so
little work was done there that the
place became synonymous with ineffi-
cheney, aptly described In the follow
ing:
BILL, don't do no work now, he's
got a job in the dockyard."
On the day of his arrival as superin-
tendent, Fisher, strolling over the
place, met several jackies leisurely
sauntering along.
What are you men doing?" he
asked.
Were maxim way for some others
who are bringin' along an oar" the
spokesman answered. %
Soon five or six lazy-going sailors
appeared. 80
what are you doing?" asked
Fisher.

swer.
But see no oar!' answered the
admiral.
"Well I'll be blarsted," answered the
spokesman, 'if we hain't forgot the
oar!"-World's Work

GAME BILLS WING
THEIR WAY ALONG
important Changes to the Laws
Advocated by Sportsmen Are
Approved by Members

With the final passage in the Senate
yesterday of House bill SIS. which ap-
propriates the hunters license fund to
the amount of some S3O7,OOO to the
Game Commission for the protection
and propagation of game and the con-
currence in the House amendments to
the Crow bill, which will permit the
citizens of counties to petition for
closed seasons on game birds and
allied sportsmen's organizations of the
state feel that most of the legislation
they We're especially urging is now
safe. The new game code as amended
Was reported from the Senate game
committee and every effort will be
made to push it to final passage at
once.
The new bounty bill, which was
recalled from the Governor for the
purpose of correcting printers errors,
VIII no doubt be promptly repaSSed
after the corrections are made and the
House is expected to concur in the
Senate amendments to the appropri-
alton bill of the sportsmen which puts
the salaries of game protectors at $50
per month and that of the secretary of
the Game Commission at $4,o00, the
sioner.
Only about five measures remain to
be enacted and all of these, with the
exception of the new fish code, have
passed at least one branch of the
Legislature.
In the Senate there remain the new
game code. known as House bill 119;
House bill 7O4. which increases the
limit price that may be paid for for
estry land; House bill 963, extending
the season for training dogs. and
House bill $50, extending the duties of
all forest, game and fish wardens so
that they must enforce the laws of all
three departments.
In the House are the bill authorizing
the appointment of thirty new game
protectors, the money fol paying
