LABOR AND TIE CLOCKS.

| The Chicago Association of Com
merce has been seriously considering
the mooted question of turning the
hands of the clocks of the city aheaJ
an hour so that by beginning worn
earlier the laborer would have an ex
ira hour for himself at the end of the
day. The International Congress oil
Chabers of Commerce which met in
Paris last summer, had the same sub,
'ject under discussion and seriously
advanced the proposition that the
clocks of the world be set forward an
hour, so that work really should be.
gin at six instead of seven, and give
to the workman an extra hour OF sun.
shine when the work was done.
The advantages of beginning each
day at an hour earlier are easily un-
derstood, but so far as the clocks are
concerned it is another matter.
Clocks perform several Other func-
tons besides regulating the hours of
beginning and finishing work. The
sun would not know when to cross
the meridian If the clocks were all
out of killer. If a man who usually
rises at seven wants to get up at six,
it is necessary for him to set the
hands of his watch forward an hour
the night before.
Why not abandon all this talk
about putting the clocks forward and
simply dicuss the ACCESSIBILITY of hav-
ing the whistle blow an hour earlier?

WHO WANTS TO VOTE?

That is about the proportion, also

such men want" to vote Is folly.

the world can one find on a similar
area so many types of peoples, so ma.

Russian government where the troops
of the Tsar and those of the Crescent

Wheat, Corn and Oats.

Chicago, March pa revival Of
the export buying of wheat yesterday

/ frequently appeared on every good
break following any news looking to-
ward peace in Europe in the last
three months. The advance of sc a
Blu. in May wheat and almost &c in
July yesterday showed how nervous
the bears are and how little disposed

There was export buying up to the
close which cleaned up the market
| for May.
An exporter, discussing the wheat
situation after the close, said: we
pick up a little wheat in the country
every day for a week and sell the
bunch in one lot without any trouble.
So long as foreigners continue to take
the offerings see no occasion for I'M
easiness. The timidity shown by
bears on new crop futures is taken as
indicating that despite the compare
lively high prices considering other
years, they desire to see the crop fur
Their advanced before making a posi-
tive stand.
Gossip OF the corn trade last night
was mixed. The market is struggling
against a limited demand on one side
and light receipts on the other. The
unanimity of the short selling by the
pit element on the breaks is said to be
against a decided maintained decline
for the present.
Holders of cash oats in the North
west say the oats have earned the car
rying charges by advancing to May
price, so there is no money in holding
them. Owners therefore are selling
as fast as possible. All the big hold
ers of cash oats there are said to have
sold out. There are large supplies
in transit to the seaboard from the
West and Northwest which have not
been in the visible supply and ill
only appear while being held at the
seaboard to load into steamers. There
has been heavy buying of May the
last two days by houses with export
connections, which is expected to re-
suit in large cash business in the
near future.

"NEW YORK OF EUROPE"

Hamburg, the great German city
on the North Sea mentioned so otter
in press dispatches these days, is the
New York OF Germany; in fact, the
New York of Europe" says the Ma
tional Geographic Society. at has
the same proud confidence of vast
riches and a great commerce, the
same careless insouciance about
things and people, the same restless
wealth-hunger, and the same un
emotional aloofness from the strang
er. Much as American boys flock
from ali over the country to try for
tune in New York, German boys turn
toward Hamburg, the city-state which
is the trading heart of Germany
Then, too, Hamburg and New York
are the greatest of all seaports. Ham
burg prior to the present war did
more business than any other port in
the world except New York.
The City-state, Hamburg, has an
area of 100 square miles, and is ex
ceedingly rich in agricultural, meat
dairy and fruit produce, while the
city proper covers barely 20 square
miles. The city is great commits
sion house for Germany and fc- the
world
Residential and business Ham
burg lies upon the north bank of the
Elbe, while along the south bank and
indenting it for thousands Of yards
are hundreds of channels, harbors,
canals and slips, worked out in a
great, weird tangle of wharves, ware,
houses, passenger piers, elevators
bridges, railways and all manner and
description of ships and products for
shipping. Many millions of dollars
have been spent in the development
of this marvellous harbor. Nearly 40,
900 vessels, both river and oversee
clear from this harbor during a
years course in normal times.
The inner or business city, is com
posed of an old and new town The
new town, modern in every way, arose
out of the ashes of that part of Ham
burg destroyed by the great fire OF
1912. The OLD town is for the most
part q warehouse district, and it is
pierced by numerous canals. The
pride of Hamburg is the beautiful
promenades around the Binnen AL
ster, a lake made by the spreading Of
the Alster river within the heart of
the city. Facing this lake, upon the
Neuer and Alter Jungfernstieg prom
enades, are the luxurious hotels and
cafes of the city. The lake is a mile
in circumference, and is dotted with
steamers and rowboats carrying
pleasure-bent populace."

ST. Louis Horse Market.

St. Louis, Mo, March 24.-This
weeks trade has been on satisfac-
tory order. The southern states took
many horses, but, of course, these
traders were unable to give big
money for their supplies. The east
ern traders took many chunks and
drafters and values on all this ma
terial were fairly satisfactory.
The demand for horses to be used
in foreign countries was strong.
These buyers did not slacken, and
large supplies have been taken. The
requirements have changed very lit
tie and practically the same types
are required. Prices on all these
kinds are high as compared with val
ues on domestic material. Southern
