CHICAGO. April 13.-Fright over the dwindling of elevator stocks of wheat because car scarcity rendered doubtful any timely increase of the amount of wheat in storage here car ried wheat prices to new high records today, with May options up seven cents to S2.25. Advances, however, were not well maintained, quotations closing un- settled at $2.21 to S2.21A for May and s1.SS@ to s1.S9b for July. with the market as a whole ranging from A net decline to a rise of 3% as compared with yesterdays finish Corn closed ss off to 1A up, oats unchanged to $ lower and provisions down 25 to SIPS.
 Record breaking performances in the wheat market were preceded by much uncertainty during the early trading and at one time by an all around set back in values
 Sensational breaks in May wheat at Kansas City had much to do with un- settling sentiment here in the last half of the day, and there was liberal prof it taking by holders. Nevertheless much uneasiness continued as to the May op- tion, contract stocks in Chicago having already faded down to 1,50O,000 bush els.
 Corn as well as wheat jumped to new high records and then reacted. Offerings were light early, but in- creased on the advance. Oats were governed by the action of other grain. Selling by packers caused sharp de- clines in the provision market.

MARKET NEWS By R. Allyn Lewis

A continuation of the bull trading tactics are expected in the stock mar ket. Speciality bullish activities are not likely to be prosecuted. Believe the best results will be gained by active traders who purchase conservatively on recessions for moderate turns. A great deal of speculative attention is
 '"T to pea ce reports. We think it noteworthy that peace stocks like liar veSter, Beet Sugar and Agricultural Chemical are in better demand. This is significant. Good buying is reported in Smelling, Marine preferred and Lackawanna Steel

 It is admitted that on the basis of the current earning power of most cor porations their stocks as a rule do not reflect a fair measure of their actual investment value.

NEW YORK, April 13.-Dullness was the most striking feature of to- days market, the total turnover of i95,000 shares being the smallest of the week.

BE LOYAL. OR SCOOTl

A man can not serve two masters.
We are either with Uncle Sam, in his
present trouble, or we are not with him.
There is no middle road. We may dis
agree with the president on issues, just
as thousands in Germany disagree with
the Emperor ON his war policy, but in
Germany none disagree with the nation.
Neither should we here, nor should 1T
be tolerated for minute, and If a
declaration of war is made it will end
quickly. OF course there is no nation
which permits a freedom of speech as
does this country, no nation which per-
mits a criticism of its officials as this
country and no place where this habit
is acquired as quickly as here, by adopt
ed citizens who hardly dare to breathe
aloud at home, much less criticise the
heads of their governments. 1t is these
things that do not set well in this land.
None blame an adopted citizen for
remembering the land of his birth, but
he should not take a liberty here, that
he dared not take there. He is impos-
ing on good nature when he does, as
well as usurping authority which is not
his.-Ferdinand Enterprise.
