MARKET NEWS

Chicago, March 2s.-The board of
trade will be closed April for the
municipal election and on Good Fri
day, April 6.
A majority of the grain exchanges
of the country are expected to be clos
ed that day. Sentiment was more
confused at the close yesterday. All
admitted that the war prospects and
light offerings. with unusual cash pre-
the maintenance of May values at
level far above anything the trade
has seen.
Shorts have covered but there is
good demand for all grades which is
restricted only by inability to make
shipments. With $2.08 paid for hard
winter wheat in Omaha by millers
and $2.10 in Chicago, the latter mar
ket is relatively the lower.
Crop reports are coming very bad
from the southwest and within a
week new crop futures have ad-
vanced ten cents on buying induced
by them, while there may be great
deal of damage in Kansas and Ne
braska and adjoining states the gener-
al impression is that it is too early
to tell definitely as to the extent.
Under these conditions, it is re-
garded as best to go a little slow in
buying July wheat at nearly $1.70 and
September at $1.50, as rains might
materially change the outlook. Lead
ing bulls continue to take profits on
all bulges. Locally their holdings
have been reduced materially of late.
New York, March 2s.-Many inter-
ests identified with the stock market
are fretting because prices do not rush
up in mad whirl under the influence
of widespread public buying move
ment. They might ease their over
wrought nerves if they would focus
their attention upon the remarkable
power of resistance shown by prices
to professional pressure and the un-
willingness of holders to sell in spite
Of the grave international situation
and the great unknown factors which
may at least possess elements of po-
tential danger as this country moves
into the circle of European conflict.
One of the strongest and best bull
arguments is the absence Of li1uida-
tion. The speculative element repre-
senting the big operators is in good
emily arranging for further bullish
transactions, reflection of which was
presented yesterday in the accumula-
ton of various issues, including the
shipping shares United States Steel
and the sugar issues.
Liverpool. March 2s.-Allied ex-
pcrters have been ordered officially
to stop purchasing grain of all kinds.
This is not an influence in wheat but
caused weakness in corn and oats in
Buenos Aires as these are not affected
by the prohibition. Wheat market
dull; arrivals fair and consumption
reduced, but purchases for distant de-
! livery difficult owing to flrmness Of
holders. Argentine embargo felt.
Corn strong with light arrivals.

Regiment, and has been commissioned captain. Mrs. Beeson has enlisted in the Red Cross, and they will lease their news paper plant Both of them expect to be in the active service soon.

Beeson is former president of the association, and one man who has made finan- cial success of the newspaper busi- ness, but is willing to make a sacri- fee when his country calls.

MORE RECRUITSASKED
 FOR THE U. 5. ARMY
War Department Wants 70,000 by June 0-They Are Needed to Fill Regular Army to War Strength.

Washington, June 12.-The war de- partment today called for 70,000 add- tional recruits in order to fill the re- gular army to war strength before June 30.
 "The cavalry, engineers, coast ar tillery, signal corps and quartermas- ter corps of the regular army have already been brought to war strength says an official statement. Forty five thousand recruits are needed at once to complete the new regiments of infantry and field artillery. Twen- ty-five thousand additional recruits are desired at the earliest practicable date to fill vacancies in order that the war strength of 3O0,O00 men may be maintained.
 Facilities are in readiness for placing these 70,000 men under pro- per training.
 Any delay in obtaining this num- Der will necessarily cause the loss of invaluable time.
 ''It is the earnest desire of the war department that 10000 single men between the ages of Is and 40 who have no dependents and who are not engaged in professional busi- nesses or trades vtally necessary to the prosecution of the war, be enlist ed in the regular army before June 30, 1917."

GREEK KING QUITS AT
 COMMAND OF ALLIES
Constantine Abdicates in Favor of Son. Prince Alexander Proceeds to Switzerland by Way of Italy.

Athens, June Fixing Constan- tine 1 of Greece, brother-in-law of the kaiser, has abdicated in favor of his second son, Prince Alexander. The latter is 23 years old.
 King Constantine has expressed the intention of embarking on a British warship and proceeding to Switzer- land by way of Italy.
 Allied troops have occupied Elas- soma without resistance.
 There has been no disorder in Athens up to the present.
 The demand for abdicaton of King Constantine is said to have been made by representatives of the en- tente allies
 The crown prince will leave with his father, reports declare. The crown prince was Prince George, who was born July 19, 1890.
 Premier Zaimis today made the announcement that Constantine had designated Prince Alexander as his successor. He said also that Con- stantine and Crown Prince George would leave the country.
 The above dispatch implies that Crown Prince George of Greece also has abdcated, since he would be the logical successor to the king. Of Prince Alexander little is known, ex- cept that he received part of his edu- cation in England and has reputa- ton of being pro-English.

RANK REPORTS SLOW
 ON LIBERTY LOAN
tremendous Drive Necessary to Complete the Issue-Hurry Call For More Activity and Information.

Washington, June 12.-Treasury .aoials declared tonight that because af tbe failure of many banks to re- .ort thev had been unable even to astimate the progress of the Liberty loon since last Friday night when onlv s1.3OO,0 O,00O,O00 of the $2,000,0 0,000,- OOO apparently had been taken.
 Another urgent call went out from the treasury tonight asking banks to rpport subscriptions so officials may m longer be kept in the dark.
 Reports today from many cities told of gratifying progress, but in most cases contained no figures.
 The small subscriber, on the face of today's general reports, has awak- ened to the fact that the country needs his money and officials expect the final count to show tremendous number of individual subscriptions to the $50 to S100 bonds-
 There will have to be a tremendous number of such subscriptions if the loan is to show the $100,000,000 a day needed for the closing seven days One official predicted tonight that the total number of subscribers would approximate 2,00O,000. He based his prediction upon reports from all re- serve banks and many other financial institutions.
 As the situation stands tonight, of fcials frankly do not know whether the $lOO,OOO,OOO a day has been ob- tained. Thousands of banks have failed to notify the reserve banks of progress made, and the tabulation showing only S1,3000 100000 stands as the latest official figures. Another tabulation may be made tomorrow.

WAR BOOMS AUTO
TRADE IN SOUTH
Packard Men Canvass Condi-
tions and Find No Ill
. Effects From Enter
ing Conflict.

Business conditions in the south are
especially sound and prosperous. That
is the gist of a survey made by Off
cials of the Packard Motor Car COM
>pany, just returned to the factory
from series of meetings in Cincin-
matt, Baltimore and Atlanta.
To get a frst-hand impression \of
the situation in the territory from the
Great Lakes to the Gulf and east of
the Mississippi river, dealer conven-
tions were arranged for the three GEN.
ters named. Twenty-Five dealers,
most of them representing small
southern cities and their tributary ter
ritory. were interviewed by Henry
Lansdale, manager of the carriage
sales department.; R. E. Chamberlain,
manager of the truck sales depart
ment. and o. E. Brown, manager for
the eastern district.
"The delivery situation was re-
ported particularly good" said Mr..
l.ansdale. "Only one dealer responded
fair. All the rest were highly pleased
with the condition. i
"All dealers were in an optimistic
frame of mind Each of the confer
ences brought out that its particular
territory was feeling stimulus from
the war, rather than any depression.
There was one funny feature to the
war talk. Dealer after dealer re-
ported that the war hadn't hurt him,
bu. hat he understood it was slack
ing up things few districts away.
And when we got over to those dis
tricts, they were untouched by the
war, but heard somebody else was.
The war seems to be highly migra-
.ory, so far as any bad effects on
business are concerned"
