WEATHER OBSERVATIONS

The western storm center has
moved from Wyoming to Kan sas and
the attendant rain or snow has fallen
in the northern Rocky mountain states
and the upper Missouri valley. Rain
on most of the Atlantic slope has re-
suited from the eastern disturbance
which is central off the coast of Vir-
ginia. 1t is somewhat warmer in the
upper Mississippi valley and the west
gulf sections but an area of high
pressure and colder weather overlies
southern Canada and the northwestern
sections, with its crest over Alberta.
The eastward movement of the Kan
sas storm and the northwestern high,
will be attended by rain in this vicin-
ity tonight and by rain or snow and
colder Thursday.

T@day'@ Market Quotations
FRESH INCREASE
SCORED BY WHEAT
Reports Of Heavy Damage to the Win.
ter Crop and Unfavorable Wealth.
err Cause Rise.

Chicago, March 29.-Wheat made
fresh advance today, owing to reports
Of heavy damage to the winter crop
and because of unfavorable weather in
the spring crop belt At first, how
ever, the market underwent a temper
airy setback as a result of lower quo
tations from Liverpool.
According to a we'll known authority
the general condition of the domestic
winter crop is lower than at any cor
responding time in several years.
Opening prices which ranged from 14c
TO sc down, with May at 1.121a to
11234 and July at 1.091a to 1.09A,
were followed by rise to more than
1c above yesterdays finish.
Subsequently reports Of 100000
bushels yield in Kansas had bearish
effect and so, too. did word that 1000
cars Of Canadian wheat were headed
to Duluth for storage. Export bust
ness displayed little or no improve
ment. The close was unsettled at the
same as yesterdays finish to Sole
lower, with May at 1.12& and July at
110A.
Liberal receipts and the prospect Of
a further increase of visible supply to-
| tai had a depressing influence on corn.
Rallies in sympathy with wheat were
not maintained. After opening 4 to
Sc lower. the market scored slight
gains but then relapsed
| Later transactions gave evidence of
a pronounced lack of support. The
| close was nervous at 3sQ12c to hc
net decline.
| Oats swayed with corn. Changes,
| though, were narrow.
| Lower prices on hogs carried down
provisions. Not much power to re-
cover was shown.

SHOE REPAIR men
TO RAISE PRICES

The shoe repair men Of Rock Island
and Moline met last evening at Hotel
Harms to discuss the problem of prices
in their line of work. Owing to the
continued advance in prices of leath-
er, thread, tacks and nails, attributed
to the war, and in fact everything
which enters into the construction OF
a shoe, the repair men claim that it Is
impossible to maintain the present
prices and remain in business, and
the price of shoe repairing in all
branches is slated for an advance.
The repair men found, they claim, that
prices of all materials have increased
to such an extent that even with long
hours now spent at the bench they are
unable to support themself and their
families. 1t is also contended that the
prices existing at the present time in
the twin-cities are far below those in
other cities in the middle west.
The meeting last night was said to
have been the first of the shoe repair
men in the middle west. H. Steffen of
the Steffen Leather company of Day.
export was the principal speaker Of
the evening. W. R. Lynn of Davenport
presided as temporary chairman and
John kimball, Jr., acted as toastmas-
ter for the evening.
