previously established, the actual sit
uation by recent Stacking off in spec
ulative activities. Last week the Chi
cago market scored a record advance
of lac on the strength of settlement
in the railway strike situation and
developments in the Balkan war sit
uation, but this advance has not been
well maintained, and the level there
is high above the coast parity in
values. There is very little business
passing locally, although some buy
ing is maintained by the mills and a
little coastwise shipping is going for
ward. There are no charters report
ed for foreign exports, and with rates
nominally held around $50 shillings,
there is no prospect of immediate
business in that direction, but at the
moment there is a lull in this bust
ness. which is interfered with to
some extent because of difficulties in
securing prompt deliveries. Quota

$1.14.

sympathy with the position of wheat
values, and in some instances local
patents are jobbing zoe higher, with
firm undertone. Export business is
still quiet, with not much business
being booked for the orient, although
some wheat is still going to West
Coast ports.

four VETERANS
ATTENDED FIRST
C. A. R. SOCIETY

History of the organization of the
G. A. r. fifty years ago was rehearsed
by members of the Sol Meredith post
at the meeting last evening held in
commemoration of the event which
took place on April 6, 1866. Four
members of the local post were pres
ent last evening who were members
of the organization before it was re-
organized in 1882. They were Frank
Davenport, LATE Larsh, l. B. Arnold
and John Elliott. Each one of these
men told of the changes that took
place in the organization in 1882. The
original organization originated at
Decatur, H.
The original organization drifted
into a political institution in the latter
seventies" said Frank Davenport.
Members began to drop out and in
1882, the reorganization took place.
Since that time the G. A. R. has stayed
clear of political influences"
There were twenty charter mem
bers of the re-organized post in this
city" said Mr.. Davenport THE local
post was organized on March 80, 1882.
The former charter had been surren-
dered short time before this because
the members became disgusted with
the organization.

Apprenticeship are a think of the
past declared Frank Duffy last night
at a meeting of representatives from
the various Richmond labor organiza-
tions in the Commercial club rooms.
Men are today required to do speci-
fled amounts of work and have no
time to teach the trade to young men.
Schools must take the place of ap-
prenticeships and it is the purpose of
the industrial survey to establish in
the schools courses that will enable
the daughters and sons of the working
men to gain some knowledge in the
schools of the representative crafts
and trades in Richmond.
The speaker explained how the 1918
legislature passed an appropriation of
100000 for vocational training in
schools. Industrial surveys are the
result of this grant. They make in
ventories of the industrial conditions
of a town and recommend the kind of
vocational training in the schools that

HOLLAND HOL DS
NEUTRAL COURSE
IN FIRST CRISIS

THE HAGUE, April THE Dutch
ministry of marine has begun to COM
mandeer steamships for military pur-
poses.
Although the foreign office is at
tempting to ailay public fears by the
reiterated announcement that Holland
is on friendly terms with all the bel
ligerents and that the war measures
are merely precautionary, the national
feeling OF anxiety is daily becoming
higher.
There is a division of sentiment on
the part of the public between the
allies and the Germans. The .Telegraf
OF Amsterdam, one of the most power:
ful papers in the kingdom, has openly
espoused the cause of the allies, hav-
ing been friendly to that side since the
conflict began. According to this pa
per, most of the Dutch people are

IN few HOURS

The special factory committee and
the board of directors of the CONNER
c1al club expect to close the deal for
the transfer of the United Refrigera-
tor companies factory to this city, be-
lore tomorrow morning. The commit
tee held conference with E. w
Shlrk and other representatives of the
Peru concern last evening and a call
ed meeting of the board of directors
was held this morning.
f. NJ. Haas, secretary of the club
announced this afternoon that final
arrangements had practically been
made. The purpose of the meeting of
the board of directors this morning,
he said, was to give the special COM
mittee further instructions. The COM
mittee, it is understood, was given
complete power to close the deal to-
day. They held another session all
afternoon but no information could be
secured on the progress made.
The purchase of the Rumely COM
panys buildings and property is an
assured fact said f. ID Haas today
I'VE expect to have no trouble in clos
ing this deal. The only contention
that is now holding up the plans is to
make the best possible arrangements
in disposing of the buildings. This is
now completely in the hands of the
committee and everything looks favor
able"

18 CASES SETTLED
IN LAST 8 DAYS

This is the best record | have made
for several years" said Judge Fox this
morning after he read the civil court
docket and found that eighteen cases
had been disposed of within the last
three days of court.
Practically all of the cases were
small suits. however, and many OF
them had been ON the docket for over
five years. In one case, both the plain
tiff and the defendant are dead.
Il guess there is no use to issue
summons in that case" said the Judge
unless the sheriff wants to take the
responsibility"
In addition to disposing of eighteen
cases, the judge, by bringing the law,
yers to time, has advanced thirty-two
cases to a place where they are at
issue and ready for trial.
