WHEAT PRICE IS
AGAIN BOOSTED
EUROPEAN BUYERS ARE ACTIVE
IN ARGENTINE MARKETS
AND IN LIVERPOOL.

Chicago, April 1s.-Unprecedented
demand from exporters at Buenos
Ayres today gave the wheat market
here an upward swing. 1t was said
Italy, Greece and Portugal were bid
ding freely for the remnants Of the
Argentine surplus, and that In addt-
ton France was buying on large
scale in Liverpool. There were advices
also that good foreign demand was
In evidence at the United States sea-
board Opening prices. which varied
from Nc off to 11Sc advance, were fol-
lowed by decided gains all around and
then moderate setback.
The close YVES unsettled, Nc of to
3hc up.
Shaply higher prices for corn at Liv-
erpool tended to lift the value Of the
cereal in Chicago. Wheat strength fur
Their aided the bulls. After opening u @
v to &c up, the market continued
to climb.
The close was firm, 1h OLE to 15sc
net advance.
Offerings Of oats proved light and
shorts appeared anxious to cover. The
principal reason given was the bulge
in other grain.
Provisions hardened owing chiefly to
the smallness Of the increase in pack
ing house stocks and because Of higher
prices for hogs. Trade lacked volume.

CHECK ARTISTS
WORK SMOOTH GAME

Des Moines. April 1.-two OF the
cleverest check artists detectives have
meta man and woman-stole 500
blank checks from Swift & Co. last
week, flooded Des Moines with bogus
checks In few hours, secured be-
tween $500 and $1,000, and left for
parts unknown before detectives even
heard Of them.
Thfrty-five or forty Of the checks
have come back" to date and many
others are expected. There Is reason
to believe that more than sixty checks
were cashed by the pair before they
left the CITY. Banks. merchants,
clothing stores. Erocers and drug
stores--all were victims.
The pair chose Saturday because 1t
was pay day" and the suspicious Of
the merchants would not be aroused.
The woman was commonly dressed to
appear like the wife OF laboring
man. The man wore overalls and q
soft shirt. He had every appearance
Of being q packing house employee.
Most of the checks were made out
to ED West" The Century Savings
bank and the Iowa National bank
cashed two checks for SET each. The
Walker Shoe company cashed q
$3.50 check. Harris Emerys, Amends
market. the Hub Clothing company.
the Bee Hat store and others paid out
money for checks calling for from
$12 to $21 to S26. The Valley Nation
al bank, on which the checks were
drawn has received twenty-five Of
them.
The check numbers started with
17,201. The latest check received
bears the number Of 1892. This in
dicates that the forgers may have
passed sixty-one checks or more.

SMALLPOX CLAIMS
ITS FIRST VICTIM

Iowa City, April 16.-Smallpox
claimed it's first victim In ten years In
Iowa City when J. b. Hull. aged -.
after nine days illness died ct his
home here. He was semi-paralyzed
invalid when he was stricken and his
age, previous condition and general
weakness made It easy for the new at
tack to prove fatal. It has been q de-
cade since a smallpox victim died In
Iowa City, and generation since
the disease was fatally epidemic
here. Guaranteed in Hull's house
today are his widow, daughter and
son-in-law. Oddly, another Hull fam
lily, not related, IL also afflicted with
smallpox and thus Louis Hull and ave
members Of his family are in the leo.
lation hospital.

PROSPECTS FOR
GOOD CROP YEAR
STATE DEPARTMENT. SAYS THAT
CONDITIONS DURING WINTER
WERE FAVORABLE.

Des Moines, April 16.-The weekly
bulletin of the Iowa weather and crop
service. under the direction Of George
NJ. Chapel, has been resumed for the
1915 planting and harvest seasons.
While favorable conditions prevail
Cd during the winter, the season this
years is . few days later than usual
on account Of cold and dry March.
The bulletin for the week is append
Cd:
Favorable conditions prevailed
during the winter, and while the sea
SON opens few days later than usual,
the prospects at present are promis-
ing for good crop year. The mean
temperature for the Eve months, No.
vember, 1914, to March, 1915. inclu-
sive, was a26.5 degrees, or IL degrees
above the normal for the state, and
81 degrees colder than the same peri
Cd in the winter Of tS13-1914. There
was considerable more than the nor
NAL amount Of precipitation, rain and
melted snow. and 10.7 inches more
than the normal amount Of unmelted
snow. March was cold and dry, but
there was an excess Of snowfall.
Freezing temperatures occurred near
" every night, which prevented any
field work being done, except In the
southern counties. April opened cold
and dry, but more. favorable condi-
lions have prevailed during the last
week. The temperature was much
higher and the showers were general
ON Thursday and Friday. Farm work
was rushed, and the seeding Of small
grain is practically finished in the
southern counties and Is well advanc.
ed In northern sections except In the
|north-central district, where the
ground Is still too wet. The acreage
of barley and spring wheat will prob.
ably be Increased, with about the nor.
NAL area OF oats. Glover, grass and
fall-sown grains suffered but little or
no damage during the winter, and are
now In excellent condition generally.
There will be large acreage seeded
to alfalfa this spring. All kinds OF
LIVESTOCK came through the winter in
fairly good shape, but the supply OF
feed is getting short In many local..
ties. The spring pig crop is promis-
ing and will be larger than last year.
Fruits are still dormant and show no
signs Of winter killing. !"
