STOCK LETTER By R. AIlyn Lewis

The stock market today continued to fluctuate within a narrow range. Trading was extremely professional with bearish selling of stocks on the theory that the advance has eonA . . enough. #Nis
 United States Steel was traded in heavily. The prevailing opinion seems to be that considerable buying of steel will develop on any decline from this level The stock will look very cheap ex-dividend A per cent on June l. Conservative houses urge changing over from stocks held for speculative value, particularly non dividend pay CTS, into steel, which has an estab- lshed investment value and a good market.
 Railroad stocks were strong on light trading.
 The market showed firm undertone at the close without any general news. Union Pacific March gross increase, s541,879; net after taxes decrease s6sl.sS2. Three months gross increase, s1.1s6.637. Net after taxes: deerease

GRAIN
CHICAGO Anril 27-

CHICAGO, April 2I.-Seventeen cents a bushel advance for wheat were re- corded today in less than half an hour on the board of trade, although the big margin calls enforced of late kept the aggregate of business relatively small. After many nervous fluctuations the market closed unsettled 3A to 14A net higher with May at $2.61a to S2.6Sh and July at S2.2312 to s2.24A. Corn gained 214 to "A; oats 7s to IS and provis- ions 25 to 92 cents.
 Disclosure of the fact that the wheat market was virtually bare of offer ings, especially of the May option, set the pit wild while new export bids were higher than ever before. Prices for May delivery jumped l to cents be- tween sales, and did not stop until the market had reached s2.70 as against s2.53 at the opening.
 A fall of 111a cents quickly ensued in the May price when holders showed a disposition to realize profits, but re- newed tightness of the market led to rallies. New crop months, in which the bulk of transactions took place were swayed chiefly by the strength of cash

CADETS IF NORMAL
 SPEND BUSY WEEK

TEMPE, April 2S.-Out at Camp Campbell, nine miles northwest of Tempe on the north bank of the Arizona canal, one hundred young men of the Tempe normal school composing the cadet company of that institution have been encamped for a week, partaking of military warfare and getting a mini ature insight into what will be expected of them if they ever join the regulars. It has been Q week cramfull of new and interesting experiences and military in
 structions that will give the fellows a better idea of actual warfare that they could probably have secured from their entire years drill
 Camp was pitched on the Arizona canal week ago this afternoon. Camp
 Campbell it was immediately named, after Governor Thomas E. Campbell, and the fellows have been busy every
 minute since. working out problems on the skirmish line in the day time and
 doing guard and outpost duty at night. During the first two days in camp, after the tents had been pitched, the kitchens erected and other details cared

FINANCES AND MARKETS

NEW YORK, April 27.-Dealings diminishing by one-quarter to one third from the two previous sessions was almost the only significant fea- ture of today's professional market.
 Less than half a score of leading stocks made up the great bulk of the business. Trading was marked by ir- regular advances and declines, final quotations in the prominent issues showing no change or slight loss.
 Rails and coppers were the only stable stocks. Metals were 1 to 8 points higher at their best, but sagged later.
 Fluctuations in United States Steel, which ranged between 115% and 117A closing at 116B unchanged on the day, were characteristic of the general movement aside from motors, which were increasingly heavy Total sales 610.000 shares.
 Bonds were irregular, betterment in domestic issues, especially rails. being neutralized by concessions in foreign war issues. Total sales, par value, s3,- i S50,000.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

MESA FURIOUS AT
 INSULT ID FLAGS

MESA, April 2S.-Some person or persons with little regard for the Amer ican flag, and still less for their own safety, taking advantage of the cover Of darkness, tore down flags from the front of the o. S. Stapley company store and the Japanese pool hall on Main street. The flags were thrown into the gutter. The proprietor of the pool hall discovered the act almost as soon as It had been committed, and heard the parties running away, but could not Identify them He notified Night Officer Sabin and a vigorous search was instituted for the offenders but without result. In the present tenn per of the people it will not go well with any one caught treating with disrespect the national emblem.

Let us build up similar reputation for being the prettiest town Tn Arizona. We have the natural set ting. the wide, level streets, the cozv homes, the tree bordered walkS Now let everybody clean up for Tuesday. Would it not be well for the street de- partment to take a hand in the mat ter of burning the tree tops that have been allowed to lie among the streets ever since the spring pruning It was the duty of the residents to attend to this, but let it be done today or Mon day by some one. This with the picking up of papers and other trash, will pre- sent a wonderfully improved appear ance for the entire city.

RAIN HURTS ALFALFA

Heavy ,lowers fell here yesterday afternoon damaging to some extent the aIIalfa which has been cut. A great deal is down and was caught in the fields. The need of alfalfa for feeding was shown yesterday when after the hard rain, a grower who had a large field down was offered $15 per ton for the cut hay and take the chances of more rain. The offer was refused be- cause the grower needed the hay equal ly as much as the other. Cotton will be helped by the showers.

PRESERVE THE WILD FLOWERS

An earnest appeal has been made by The Kansas City Star for the pres ervation of one of the most beautiful of wild flowers, the columbine, par ticularly along tourist routes This ap- peal will find sympathetic support everywhere throughout the states in which the columbine is a natural an- nual, but it should be broadened to include all wild Towering plants that are needlesly, and often wantonly, pulled up by the roots. The conserva- tion of wild flowers is a patriotic duty.
