TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago. April 14-WHEAT-Whea
jumped today to new high price levels.
Shorts who tried to cover found the market
bare of offerings. and were forced to raise
bids with stunning swiftness. Eager pay
ment of premiums for cash wheat for mill
ing and export seemed to preclude any
chance of liberal deliveries on MAY con-
creasing anxiety to bears. Realizing sales
by holders developed somewhat the
bulge but not to only moderate reactions
in values. Opening quotations, which
ranged from &c to Sc higher with May at
S2.2315 to 1924 and July at S1-s9 to S1-s9a4
were followed by a general steep upturn on
which May touched s2.25al.
subsequently deferred options eased off,
especially September. as result of reports
of improved conditions in Kansas. The
close nevertheless was firm at &c to 4e
net advance, with May at S2-241a to s225
and July at S1.91I5 to S1.92.

top records. Sellers were scarce. After

SCORE NEW ADVANCE
Week Sees Wheat Up 8 to Is Cents
Corn and Provisions Follow.

Chicago, April 14.-Despite violent
temporary setbacks due to outspoken
advocacy of government control of
prices, the grain and provision mar
kets this week regained the greater
part of sensational advances that re-
suited largely from official estimates
of Unexpectedly severe crop damage
and from sharp competition between
exporters and millers. Compared
with a week ago wheat this morning
was up SC to 55sc. Corn q C to
9Ac and oats y @21zc. Pork and
ribs showed gains of SIC to $1.15, but
figures brought about at once frantic
buying of wheat and caused a seldom
paralleled upward sweep of values.
On Monday the market underwent a
decided break. 1t was not however,
/ until next day that the biggest fall
of the week took place. Big rebounds
which mainly characterized the course
of the wheat market on the succeed
ing days were ascribed for the most
part to brisk demand from seaboard
and milling interests.
/ Corn and oats borrowed much of
their strength from wheat but they
were also independent advances based
on reports that scores of distilleries
will be exclusively used for the manu-
| facture of denatured alcohol needed
for military explosives.
| High record values for corn and
hogs lifted provisions.

GUARDS in BATTLE
One PlOtter Killed, 3 Wounded
at Minneapolis.
Four Guards Hit by Shots From
Ambush.

Minneapolis, Mimi. April "details
of the reported killing of an alleged
3lotter by guardsmen, the wounding
of four guardcmen and three alleged
plotters and the court-martial of sew
eral supposed plotters leaked out to-
day despite the silence of military Of
ficials. Public anger was aroused as
the reports of attempted assassination
of guardsmen became known.
Guardsmen yesterday frustrated n
supposed plot to blow up the Wash
burn-Crosby flour mills and the st.
Paul railroad bridge at Mendoza, near
here A stranger seized at the Wash
burn-Crosby mills, carried a suit case
containing fifteen sticks of dynamite
and two bottles of nitroglycerin. He
was thrown in the Fort Smelling guard
house and with others taken to the
federal penitentiary at Fort Leaven-
worth, it is believed.
1t is reported another prowler was
shot to death ny sentries at mill
here. Military officials are silent. A
st. Paul sentry carries a bullet in one
leg today after being fired on from
ambush. Three cuardsmen and three
civilians are in the Fort Smelling hos
pital as a result of frustrated plots.
Sentry Fires on Spy Suspects
Boston. April IA sentry near
the Boston harbor orts fired several
shots last night at two men in a mo-
tor boat and another on land. The
boat quickly disappeared in the dark
ness and the man on shore escaped.
The sentry expressed the opinion that
the men were trying to cut tele-
phone cable

TO ENTERTAIN TONIGHT
II. S. Y. w. c. \. Girls VIII Give a
"Shan Kive" Carnival.

The H. S. Y. w. C. A. girls will give
a "Shan Kive" carnival at the Y. w.
building tonight at which all of the
high school pupils and the general
public will be entertained. The pro-
gram will begin at 1880 on the second
floor of the building. The feature of
the opening will be a farce given by
Miss Thelma Houston.
Following the 'up-stairs'' program
the activities will be transferred to the
gymnasium where seven booths will
be operated by members of the asso-
citation.
The object of the entertainment is
not to raise money but to furnish en-
tertainment to the high school stu
dents and to all who care to attend.
However, what money is made will be
contributed to the expenses of the
girls who will make the trip to Hol-
lister, Mo, in June as representatives
of the local association.

Second Regiment Band.
The Second Regiment band not only
furnishes a great deal of amusement
to the general public but does its
share in trying to make the life of a
soldier as happy as possible while on
duty The band is composed of a
number of the best musicians in town,
but if the law that all married men
will have to be discharged it will take
seven men from this organization,
thus it. is that the officers are de-
sirous of having all men who can play
any band instruments other than
drums, and especially those who are
good on reed instruments, to apply
at the band armory SO that all vacan-
cies could be filled at once, providing
such a law would go into effect. The

PEACE SOON?
Socialist Says Kaiser to Restore
Belgium and Serbia.
Conflict With Germany's Recent
Official Declarations.

Copenhagen, April 14.-Peace with
in two months and a half is pre-
dicted by the Copenhagen CORES
pondent of the Danish Socialist press.
which confirms the reports of I'M
official negotiations between Russian
and German socialists, as against the
diplomatic denials in the socialist
newspapers here and at Berlin.
The first negotiations, says the
correspondent who is socialist mem
Der of the Danish parliament, were
broken off, enabling two papers to
launch a denial that they were in
progress but they We're Immediately
resumed and are being prosecuted
vigorously. The correspondent then
enters into discussion of peace terms
in which he appears to take German
Socialist expectations and hopes for
the governmental policy.
Ready to Evacuate France.
81 am assured from absolutely
trustworthy source he says, that
Germany is ready to restore Belgium
and Serbia, evacuate France and with
Turkey arrange an agreement with
Russia over free navigation of the
Dardanelles. An agreement also pos
sible on the Polish question as the
Russian government knows
The correspondent pictures England
as the sole obstacle to peace. There is
reason to believe that the first part of
his statement regarding negotiations
bSIWS cen IbuSSld anu herman SOCIALISTS
is correct but his exposition of Ger
man peace terms conflicts with the
recent high official declaration of the
North German Gazette that Germany
| is willing to conclude peace but on
| terms compatible with the great sacri-
| f1ce which sic has made.
Russ Socialists to Berlin.
Amsterdam, April 14-By a STRAIT
| egic master stroke the German gov
eminent, it has been learned from
Berlin advices, mas given a powerful
| impetus to the Russo-German Socialist
movement for peace. 1t has flung
wide open the doors of the empire to
the leading Russian Socialists now in
Switzerland, permitting them to re-
turn to Russia by way of Germany. 1t
| has placed at their disposal two spe-
| cia1 trains and offered the every
possible accomm odation and courtesy.
The Russian Socialists, who thus
will be virtually the guests of the
kaiser's government, travelling thru an
! empire with which Russia is engaged
in u life and death struggle, have
spent some time IN Switzerland work
ing in behalf of peace. While in Ger
many they will be met and entertained
by the Socialist leaders, it is said, and
the two groups are expected to mar
out plans of far-reaching importance
plans which they hope to pave the
way for the end of the world war.

PEACE ENJOYS ON WAY.
Believe German Socialists Are On Way
to PetrOgrad.

Amsterdam, April 1.-THE German
newspapers say that not only is Philip
ScEeidemann, leader of the majority
Socialists, on his way to Stockholm
but that he is accompanied by three
other prominent German Socialists,
Adder, ErSZerger and HaaSe.
The four men are travelling on spe-
cial passports, and it is believed in
Berlin Socialist circles, that they will
meet ENJOYS of the Russian govern
ment with whom they will proceed to
Petrograd.

parliament will be summoned to meet
in Man
