We have not yet had anything like real war; only little

If 355 designations have been accepted easy guess

will have to be furnished with full list of designations rendered
and accepted Defenders and critics of the Hay bill will have
right to know just how it's provisions have worked.
There for the enlisted the ranks want

WHEAT ADVANCED
AFTER EARLY LOSS
Adverse Crop News and Ex-
tensive Covering Brought
Strength

CHICAGO. March 15.-Good buying by
| commission houses and extensive covering
by shorts, due to adverse crop news from
many points in the winter wheat belt,
together with prospects of a smaller area
in Canada, caused considerable strength
in the wheat market today after 1t had
been weak.
The early decline was due to n drop
at Liverpool and selling of futures here
by foreigners. Many traders asserted
that the recent low prices had discounted
bearish conditions in the way of big
domestic supplies The absorbing power
of the market today was good.
A leading commission house said that In
view of the excessive snow fall and the
return at this late date OF below zero
temperature in western Canada, II was
worth remembering that he Dominion
Government reported only 36 per cent. Of
plowing done last fall in Manitoba, against
93 per cent in 1914; 27 per cent In Sas-
katchewan, against n per cent, and "a
per cent. in Alberta, compared with 56 per
cent. May, after selling at $1.O71a at the
start, moved up to S1.10B and finished at
$1.10h, against $1.OS1a at the end yester-
day, and July, after starting at $l.06A,
rose to $f09h, finishing at S1,0S&, COM
pared with SLOTS at the close yester-
day.
The Price Current said that the extent
of winter killing of the crop, which will
be revealed soon. is apt to be quite ex-
tensive, especially in those sections where
heavy rains I'll last fall, followed by sleet
storms Most of Kansas and all of Ne
braska seem to be the only important
parts that have escaped damage. A re-
vival of the green bug infection is to be
expected DRY weather in the Southwest
is a source of apprehension.
Leading futures ranged follows:
