WHEAT MAY BE LOWER.
Canada Drops Barrier to United States
Trade

Ottawa. Ont, April 1.-THE govern
ment has placed wheat, wheat -four
and semolina on the free list, thus open
ing United States markets to Canada
and Canadian markets to the United
States in these products.
Under the reciprocal clauses of the
American tariff the United States will
admit free wheat and wheat products
OF any country which admits American
wheat without duty. The Canadian
tariff has heretofore prevented this
privilege being awaited Of.
The action taken by the Canadian
government today removes the duty
and automatically opens the markets
of each country to each other.
The order is due to difficulty in ex-
portingsowing to shortag of ocean tom
mage and the fact thatth British mar
ket has been virtually closed for Ca
madam wheat of lower grade.
The duties removed are 10 cents a
bushel on wheat andes cents barrel
on flour. "f

Canada's action will make'it easier
for millers to obtain wheat with which
to fill their -four sales as they have
been doing a liberal business of late.
There is a surplus of 100000 bushels
of wheat in Canada. A good part of
this will be taken for export to Europe.
Much Of it Is understood to be owned
by the British government, which is
doing most of the buying for the allies.
Grain traders who discussed last
night Canada's action believed that it
meant lower prices for wheat in the

Cattle.
cattle offerings lacked quality.
That the federal government will not
attempt to put a price on cattle Is
indicated by Washington action in re-
fusing 10 take over stocks Of wool, in
Guiding the new clip on an April basis,
as proposed by dealers II means that
Washington will not attempt Interior
ence with the operation of the law OF
supply and demand. What is needed
at this juncture Is not legislation TO
cheaper cost to the consumer, but ac-
ton designed to stimulate production,
and this can be accomplished only hy
encouraging the grower. If left to It
self. the cattle market will need no
apologist, and that IS doubtless. what
Washington will do . Australia has
tried the valorizing system and the
result has been disaster.
Probably the most potent liquida-
ton influence is feed scarcity and the
determination to put on record acre
ages Of corn and oats. In northern
latitudes flint corn IS to be planted ex-
tensivelv. Feed Is the factor, and semi
famine conditions make cattle
doubtful acquisition in the opinion Of
many handlers.

eEMl.PANlc CONDITIONS RULE
WITH WHEAT DROPPING
TEN CENTS.
REMOVAL OF DUTY BY
CANADA PRINCIPAL FACTOR
Corn Also Drops 10 Cent? In Early
Trading, Largely Because Of Weak
nsss Of Wheat-Prospect of Gov
Svwn,entai Regulation Of Foodstuffs
contrlhutory Cause

Chicago, April 11-Seml-panic con-
dit1ons ruled for q considerable time to-
day In the wheat pit here, with prices
breaking nearly 10 cents in wheat, fully
10 cents in corn and more than 81 in
provisions. The chief cause was the
action Of Canada making possible the
importation Of Canadian wheat duty
free.
Aside from the removal OF the Cana
dian duty, the market was bearishly at
fected by action In Washington for an
embargo, by peace talk and by rains in
the crop belts. Opening prices, which
ranged from "a cents to SIS cents
lower with May at $3.50 to 1882 and
July at s1.91 to S1.9T. were followed by
setbacks carrying July wheat down to
St.90, but then the market rallied TO a
level about to cents under yester-
days finish.
Reports Of German submarine OPP
erations within 100 miles OF the Amer
lean coast led atterward to greater
weakness than before. There were also
declines due to the fact that 5000. 900
bushels Of Canadian wheat in bond in
the United States, mostly at Duluth
was not free from duty and already
competing on even terms with dones-
tic wheat. May delivery here fell &C
cordingiy to 2.213s to 2.22 a descent OF
1. to 14Is cents IN twenty-four hours.
The close was unsettled at ~ to 121s
cents lower with May at 2.24 10 224A
and July at 1909 to 1915.
Corn.
Corn dropped chiefly on account or
the wheat weakness. The prospect OF
government regulation Of hog prices
counted also as a factor IN carrying
down the corn market
Later corn developed acute weak
ness with wheat. The Close was ner-
vous at ~ cents to 81 cents net de-
cline.
Provisions.
Liquidation sales by holders was the
rule In provisions. The biggest fall was
IN the value OF pork. which was off
S1.421s for May delivery.

SuiS0SOs API1l w uSdL- ne
wheat market was in poor shape to meet
the Canadian parliament's action in re-
moving the duty on wheat and -four.
Holders found difficulty In selling out
and many stoploss orders resulted in a
break, up to midday Of 10 cents per
bushel in May and nearly as much in
July and September. There has been
good absorption Of wheat around inside
prices but tho market does not show
the remarkable strength which has been
exhibited since the government began
to advertise widely the shortage OF food
and the poor crop outlook. Rains in
Kansas and Nebraska have helped the
condition Of the growing crop. 1t is
hardly likely that market will recover
for several days from the effects Of to-
days liquidation.
Corn-The influence of wheat was
felt in corn and the market was erratic
with a lower tendency.
Oats-The weakness in other grains
with the prospect Of large acreag.
raused a weak tone in oats. Cash
houses were the best buyers.

More About the Garden.

There is an unnecessary waste
of water here every summer;and
perhaps if there was not so much
waste our rates would be reduc-
ed. After one good soaking of
the soil, sprinkle the garden Of
ten and sparingly until the plants
are well up; then three times a
week is plenty, as it is only the
top soil which is dry. Flooding
washes the strength of the fertil-
izer down to the strata of rock
where it is carried off.
Now about your lettuce. Cut
and eat it when about three
inches high, and let it grow out
again for cutting, and afterward
let it stand for seed as there is
likely to be a seed shortage next
spring. You cannot get head
lettuce here unless you have
shady yard and a burlap shade
over the bed, as the sun has a
tendency to make it bitter.
Swiss chard is well-paying
green to plant, as you can break
off the outer leaves to cook and
it keeps right on growing until
frost. Beets and turnips are
easy to grow, and beets can be
canned for the winter supply.
Potatoes planted in the dark of
the moon in Ioamy soil will do
well. Carrots can be left in the
ground all winter, and be dug as
needed, so plant lots of them, as
they grow out in the spring and
are as good as ever for early
vegetables. Cabbages can be
put up as kraut, or can be stored
under ground where it will keep
fresh and nice if kept dry.
bitches for celery should be
dug now Is inches deep, and fill
ed with a layer of ashes, one of
soil, one of fetilizer, until the
ditch is filled. Wet it down
thoroughly and leave until time
to transplant the celery, which is
in July. Celery can be left in the
ground all winter and dug when
wanted.
When planting corn, put beans
in near it, as corn takes fertility
from the soil, while beans supply
it with nitrogen drawn from the
air. If asparagus and rhubarb
are planted this year do not cut
until next spring as it may kill
1t, but they will be one of your
first vegetables next March or
April. Garden peas can be plant
ed as early as February in a
shallow ditch if kept very moist.
They will not freeze. Late tur-
nips and beets may be left in the
ground over winter which saves
storing them. Late spinach can
be left out also with a few tomato
vines for covering.
If you notice the little green
aphis on any greens you do not
eat, such as turnips peas, cauIi-
flower spray at once with rose
nicotine that can be had1 at any
drug store, as they multiply very
fast in early spring and will
destroy your garden before you
realize it

Associated Charities.

The associated charities met at
the home of Mrs. Luce last Tues
day afternoon. Mrs. Klein
dienst, who has been treasurer
of the society for some time,
rendered her resignation as she
expects shortly to leave the city
for an extended visit in the east.
Mrs. Luce was elected to fill the
vacancy. The reports of the Of
ficers on the work done by the
association covering the period
from Jan. 9th to May 9th shows
there have been six meetings
with only an average attedance
Of nine, which is a very poor
showing of interest in the work
by the citizens, all of whom are
supposed to be members.
Between the dates above men
toned the association has fur
nished food and medicines and a
nurse to two women with three
children each, and one woman
with five children, gave trans
portation to one man to his des-
tination, and furnished supplies
and nurse to aged sick soldier,
in addition to assisting several
stranded travellers. In addition
to the assistance rendered by the
society the individual members
have personally aided many
cases, either by supplying food,
clothing or financial assistance of
which no mention has been made.

money received from all sources
was $212. 40 as follows:
