the wind crushed few frame build.
ings across from the Oaklawn's track
entrance.
Further on, several small houses
were lifted and crumpled, until the
wind reached Majestic park. the
spring training home Of the Boston
Americans. That was swept clean.
Then the electric power plant was
struck and damaged. From that
point the wind swept path through
to the northeast, where many homes
were damaged.

Brewers Ask to Make Beer.

The brewery interests of Denver
have started an initiated petition for
an amendment to the state prohibi.
ton law which will permit the brew
cries OF the state to manufacture
beer for sale direct to consumers In
case lots. The argument Is offered by
the circulat0rs of the petition that in
this way the money, now being sent
by residents of Colorado to outside
points for beer. will be kept in the
state, giving employment to many
men. No attempt is made by the pc
TONERS to legalize the sale OF beer In
retail quantities.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago, April l2-Forsigners refusing TO take
any great interest in the reported crop losses in the
soft winter wheat States. Wheat at Liverpool was
again lower today. and while cargues there showed
strength early in the day, this strength was lost
later and declines registered. The wheat market
broad ahair at Chicago today and there was
advances Of TX 10 nc.
There were further reports Of mi1ers Of the East
part Of the United States purchasing Canadian
wheat and Tayng duty on the same. This viii
make competition for exputers ewho have thus far
had little competition and would easily bring a
better demand for American winter wheat.
Cash sales Of wheat at the Eastern seaboard and
Gulf ports amounted to 30 900 bushels
The more deferred futures in corn displayed more
less strength today and closed fraetionally higher
while the May future was unchanged. The business
in cash corn was small at 5000 bushels.
Oats were 1salEc higher and, the market was ex-
tnneIy dnlf.' TIE acreage to be seeded to oats will
be larger than last year, owing to the fact that
considerable wheat is being pl0wed up and seeded
to oats Cash transactions were small at 5000
bushels.
Commission nouses and the bull element in hog
products absorbed the OFFERINGS. and when the cOt-
ton seed oil showed sensational advances the mar
ket developed to the highest point Of the day.
Longs led in the seiing and packers were also
sellers in order to secure profits.

MARKET FAILS
TO SHOW LIFE
Stocks Continue Unresponsive
to Evidences of General
Business Prosperity.
FEW EXPERIMENTS TRIED
Revival Of Peace Conjectures and
Status of Diplomatic Difficulties
Here Have Effect on List.

Sew York. April l2.-Commitments
in the stock market may be regarded
with equanimity from the point OF
view OF investment, which considers
real values and such things as large
yields protected by extraordinary
earnings Speculation of the temper
developed in the past year has rather
e. tryfuy time of II in such narrow
markets as have ruled lately, and fur
ther expression of restlessness was
given today by the professional sales
for the decline. Dealings remained in
state of contraction and the session
was dull, except for the relief afforded
by trading ventures of a varied char
acter. These were obviously in the
nature Of cautious experiment, and
did not on the whole make mucn
{ headway. The market was superb
cially heavy; but fundamental stabIl-
ity was displayed.
Another revival OF peace conJec-
tures, apparently of German inspira-
ton, directed attention to one of the
influences Of a more or less permanent
sort with which the financial markets
are disposed nowadays to reckon.
The status of the diplomatic diffi-
sculties with which Washington is
struggling on account of the war has
been more talked about than anything
else.
While Wall Street talked about all
these things, the prevailing factor in
causing such effort as the days stock
market showed, was the stubborn un-
responsiveness Of stocks recently to
the extraordinary accumulation of con-
tinuing evidence that general business
is still piling up profit with a pros
spect OF maintaining the process for
mOnths to come. This is enough 70
tempt trading operations for the de-
cline, and the fundamental underlying
strength of the share list was evinced
not only in its passive resistance 10
the strain of dullness, but in the way
IN which trading and selling pressure
was withsfood.
Pressure was concentrated on Unit
ed States Steel in the last hour, but
prices had a rallying tendency to-
ward the close, while there were per-
sistent manifestations of aggressive
strength in certain quarters
In the foreign exchange markets
French bills closed. as low as 6.O4 l-2,
which was more than a point under
