SUBSTANTIAL ADVANCE
IN wheat PRICES TODAY
Higher Gables on Small Shipments
From Argentina Tend to Help
Bull Traders.

CHICAGO. March 1o.-Higher quota
tions from Liverpool led to a substan-
tial advance here today in the price Of
wheat 1t was explained that ship
ments from Argentina to Europe had
proved disappointingly small, being
still much under the total at the corre-
spending time last year. In this con-
nection Buenos Aires dispatches COM
planned of a continued scarcity of ves-
sells.
The opening here. which ranged from
v to y y higher. with May at LIZ to
1.12A and July at 1.10 to I.10A. was
followed by moderate additional gains.
Corn Prices Also Rise.
Corn went higher with wheat. Trade,
though, was light After opening Nan
to y up, the market reacted little
and then ascended further than before.
Oats had the same action as corn.
There was no pressure to sell.
Big upward jumps in the value of
hogs lifted provisions. Buying, how
ever. was only of a scattered sort.
On the bulge. some realizing by
longs took place, but the effect soon
disappeared.
Signs that some wheat exporters were
reselling here and at Duluth tended
later to force n downturn and so also
did a supplementary government re-
port showing 151. 100000 bushels of
wheat in country mills and elevators.
but Australian shipments proved
meager, domestic crop reports from
the soft winter states were bullish
and the seaboard late in the day sent
word of renewed export buying. The
close was firm. kaN to q net higher.
with May at 1.11$4 and July at 1.10s.
Owing considerably to advances in
the hog market corn prices did not
yield in a lasting manner when wheat
underwent a sag. Corn closed firm at
y to l above yesterdays finish.

Mexican Petroleum sold to 1857. and

COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, March 10.-Reports that
a French steamer had been sunk OF
the coast of France appeared to un-
settle the cotton market early today.
The market opened steady at decline
of points on March, but generally to
points higher on overnight buying
orders, then eased off under scattering
liquidation and some Wall street SELL
ing, with May declining to 11.S3, July
to 1900 and October to 1918. or about
to 8 points net lower before the end
Of the first hour. The reported loss OF
the French steamer seemed to create
apprehension of higher marine insur-
ance rates, while the unsettled Mexican
situation may also have contributed to
the nervousness of sentiment. spot
houses were among the early sellers.
Futures opened steady: May, 1l.90;

a good spot demand came from New

ARE WE BOTH FOOLS AND

In Pearsons' for March, Allan

ing itself out. The strain is tel
! ling upon all of the 'belligerents
Each shows less speed. If the
war were to end to-day, nobody
III Europe outside Of an insane
asylum would want to start
another war. The longer the
war lasts, the longer will the
memory of it burn those who
have felt its fires. 1t may drag
on at slower pace for some time
to come. Europe then, more than
ever, will deserve our pity rather
! than our fear. 1t will be the sad
dest sight upon which the sun
ever shone. SO far as we are
concerned it will be about as dan
.cerous as a cemetery. Yet there
are few powerful men among
us who would have us arm vastly
more heavily against crippled,
disillusioned Europe, than they
ever dared urge that we arm
when Europe was at the height
Of it's military power.
May be this is sense. More
likely it is dollars. At any rate
it is a crime. 1t is a crime against
America. 1t is a crime against
Europe. 1t is a crime against the
world. We should be talking of
something else. When Europe
comes out of her terrible struggle,
we should not greet her with a
knife. Europe is suffering tire
mendously. When her misery
ends, she will be in no mood to
raise more armies and more nav
les. She will be glad to sink
back and rest from war for gen.
GRAFTON or two, while she binds
Up her wounds. We should not
even seem to threaten her. We
should be her friend. The friend
of every part Of Europe. If we

fight a cripple, some will call us

SEWERAGE BOND ISSUE
ILLEGAL.

1t is with regret that we men
ton to our readers that the at
torneys in New York, Messrs
Dillon, Thompson & Clay, repre-
senting the Hibernia Bank and
Trust Company Of New Orleans,
purchasers OF the 100000 Sew
erage Bonds issued by the Sew
erage Board Of New Iberia, HAY e
declared the issue illegal and adj
vised their clients not to accept
the bonds as they are issued. We
; understand there are four
grounds for the rejection of the
I bonds, one Of which is that the
Law makes it imperative that the
call for the election and sale Of
the bonds should have been made
solely by the City Council, and
that they had no right to organize
a Sewerage Commission to take
over the work. This was quite
surprise under the circumstances,
and will be a great disappoint-
ment to many who preferred that
this work be handled exclusively
by the gentlemen who comprise
the Board. The principal idea
of creating this Sewerage Board
was to take no chances on poll
tics being injected into this i'm
portant projected improvement,
and for that reason the Board as
created, had the unanimous en-
dorsement of the masses of our
people who appreciated their
worth as citizens and large tax,
payers.
1t is unfortunate that this cir
cumstance has arisen. We un-
derstand, however, this same con-
dition prevailed when the bonds
for sewerage was offered to f.
nanciers by the Sewerage Board
of Opelousas, La, and the matter
was taken to the Supreme Court
and declared perfectly valid and
legal and the Board, as created !
there, then again took charge of
the matter and disposed of the
bonds. We are inclined to believe
the members Of the Sewerage
Board here will make a test ease
of it before the Supreme Court
before they will relinquish their
rights in the premises. Of course
if the Court rendered an opinion
that the issue is legal there is no
doubt the bond purchasers would
readily carry out their original
intentions. The way the matter
stands now we do not believe New
Iberia will be in possession Of
sewerage system this year.
