Orders for Three Months.

1t was stated in connection with
the temporary closing Of the factory
that Mr. Peterson has orders in the
future sufficient to carry the plant for
three months. For this reason the
Hamilton people are hoping that the
reorganization of the factory may be
successfully accomplished.
The Hamilton people have respond.
ed nobly to the calls placed upon them
in this matter. They got behind the
proposition gladly. and helped to get
the money raised Immediately for the
building. This is theirs now, whatever
use it may be put to. They have big
asset in this building. 1t was due en-
tirely to business conditions that the
people were not able to assume added
burdens in the matter
The people of Hamilton seem to real
ize that under the general business
conditions, it was too big for them to
handle. They are still hopeful how
ever, that something may be done with
the plan Of reorganization which has
taken ME- Peterson's representatives
to Chicago.
The Business Mems association is
loud in its praise of the Hamilton peo-
pie who have stood by them through
out the entire transaction. That their
faith Is mistaken was the statement
Of one, of the officers of the club.

basis. Hamilton has not lost faith in
the factory, but the financial string.
ency of the present time Is given as
the reason for the temporary closing
Of the factory.
John Gordon. representing the
a statement this afternoon when
the status of the factory here.
1.-THE money we spent in the build.
ing of the factory drained our re.
Sources" Mr.. Gordon said. "The in
stallation of the machinery drained
the resources of Mr.. Peterson. Taken
in connection with the business de.
preston of today, the proposition was
too big for US to handle. Ordinarily
we would have had the resources to
fall back on. The stringency Of the
money market and the general depres
sion of business has been such that
We have not been able to realize on
our resources as otherwise we should
have been abl.e to.
There has been no breach of faith
in the matter as concerns either par
ties. The people of Hamilton have
stood by us nobly, and we have been
square with them, we believe. We
are not going to be discouraged at this
turn of events. We own the building
and We believe that some way will
turn up, whereby we will be able to
see our proposition materialize."

another bearish crop statement in carly
May. II Is believed by some authorities
that the promise OF winter and spring
wheat will be figured at about 1,OO0,-
100000 bushels with the issuance Of the
next Government report The official
Kansas report published yesterday
showed condition of 92S, against SO
a month ago, and II was noteworthy that
the area abandoned was placed at only
100000 acres. This banner wheat pro-
ducing State has prospect at this
stage not very far under the phenomenal
and unparalleled yield of 10000. 900
bushels IN the past season.
There was no real change IN the for
eign situation to explain the urgent buy
ing OF our wheat. Markets in Argentina
and India were very firm. but the trade
has become accustomed to s'ch n tone.
Exports from Argentina this week are
estimated at 100000 bushels. Brad
streets clearances OF American wheat
and -four for the week should show q
large total. probably in excess Of s.
100000 bushels. As far as India is
concerned. there was information again
received Indicating that England was in
control OF 100000 bushels India sur
plus.
Corn--The market huctuated in an
uncertain way, showing strength at the
outset. Further short covering was
based on expectations OF additional ex-
port business. as the Liverpool market
was strong and there were renewed
complaints of incessant rains in Argen-
tina. No buying OF consequence for
interests abroad was noted, however.
There were assertions that there was u
very fair domestic demand for cash
corn, but the news appertaining No
this was very conflicting. The coun-
try offerings were somewhat larger at
the advance. Private reports are that
farmers are confident and therefore will
not recognize lower bids, at least not
until "a favorable crop start 10 as
sured.
Rains in various parts Of the belt
yesterday were regarded as conducive
to favorable soil conditions. although
temporarily against further planting
work Commission house trade was well
divided. and 1t was obvious that the
list was generally governed In its &C
ton by the trend OF other grains. There
were ciearances for the day OF close
to 100000 bushels.
Oats--Moderate liquidation was in
duced by the rams In the eastern belt,
whence dry weather complaints had been
received recently. Country houses were
on the selling side. The declines were
checked by cash house support. En-
port sales of 400,0 bushels were re.
ported. with rumors OF an additional
cargo OF about 100000 bushels. In the
late trade there was scattered short
covering for professionals.
rrovisions--uberal hog receipts
helped to depress values for time.
There was not much speculative support
but there were indications Of packers
buying at the decline. with reports OF
a better cash trade.
Chica no prices.

STOCK odd LOTS" IN DEMAND.
Public Buying on Large Scale
Dealers Hard Pressed.

That the public which deals In small
lots of stock Is present In this market on
a larger scale than ever before in his
tory is evidenced by the operations OF
the odd lot dealers and odd lot houses.
These people have been swamped with
business The machinery for handling
this class of business has been taxed to
its utmost.
The great increase In the small bust
ness In stocks Is attributed for one
thing 10 the closing Of bucket shops
all over the country. Also the small
Spectator has learned 20 trade In stocks
in the last few years. In the great
bull markets of other years the proper
ton OF odd lot business was compare
lively unimportant.
There are half dozen Wall Street
firms which deal in odd lots. Their
operations consist OF splitting up hun
dred share lots into smaller lots down
to one share. In the million share
day OF last week one OF these houses
turned over 100000 shares.

MORE CANADIAN GOLD TO COME
Reports That Ottawa II % send
ss,OOO.OoO.

Reports were current In the financial
district yesterday that $4,000 900 IN gold
was about TO be sent to this city from
Ottawa, Canada, for the account of the
Bank of France. IL was only a little
more than a week ago that Lazard
t'reres. who have a working arrange
ment with tire Bank of France, imported
s1,000.0O0. the largest single amount
ever taken for import for the Bank OF
France.
Gables from Europe have told re-
Gently that France was making pro-
visions to send considerable sums in gold
to Switzerland and Holland 1t was
reported some time ago that $4,000, 900
French Government bonds offered here
by a syndicate OF bankers was to pay
for goods already purchased rather
than to establish a credit. The ship
mcnts of gold from Canada to New York
for tie account OF the Bank of France
appear 10 confirm this report.
Foreign exchange rates were generally
easier yesterday. Demand sterling
