Grain Review

Chicago, March 49, < Moderate
strength developed in the wheat mar
ket today as a result of the railway
strike settlement. Bullish sentiment
was restrained however. by the con-
tfnuence Of traffic embargoes due to
congested freight facilities. Trading
was checked also by uncertainty over
possible outcomes Of the increasing de-
struction OF American shipping in the
submarine war zone. Opening prices,
which ranged from the same as Satur-
days finish to &c higher with May
at $1.s4N to $1.S5k and July at $1.55 v
to $1.55h, were followed by limited
general gains, and then slight reac-
ton.
Quotations closed strong, 2ac to 4bc
net higher, with May at $1.SS to $1.ssh
and July at s1.5Sh to $1.5s1a.
In corn as in wheat, firmneSs result
ed from the strike settlement but adj
vances were not of a radical sort. The
upturns appeared to be due to scarcity
OF offerings rather than to any unusual
expansion of buying. After opening u
to Il a &c higher, the market continued
to harden.
The close was strong at 7sc to &c net
advance.
Oats sympathized with the upward
tendency Of other cereals. Business,
though was small.
Provisions as Well as grain advanced
on account of the disappearance of the
strike danger. Higher quotations on
hogs counted also as bullish factor

quite unlike the brotherly love and
unity existing between the two nations
to-day
Comparing the recruiting system
of those days to our present metnods
Of reinforcing the army, he said:
"The recruiting officers used 70 come
up from New York and Albany by boat
Monday nights and return 70 their
homes on Friday. Although they often
offered from S400 10 $1,000 10 each
man, the number Of enlistments was
frequently not encouraging. william
Reed. of Plattsburg, the supervisor, WAS
the most enterprising and successful
of all the recruiting officers in the
state. Beginning with Saturday morn
ing he and his men picketed the rail-
road tracks between Rouse's Point,
Mooer's Junction and Plattsburg and
caught the deserters from the Canadian
ranks and paid them $40 to S25 each
10 enlist. thus getting them cheap. He
saved the town of Plattsburg Sl5O,OOO,
while some of the other counties IA
well as the villages in Clinton County
were in debt tor hundreds Of thousands
cf dollars at the close of the war on
account Of the eXhorbitant bountles
paid to recruits.
Il want to add, however, that these
debts were all paid off in a few years
after the war. | cannot express too

and hunters from the Adirondacks, in
telligent and athletic men. We also
had a large number Of volunteers from
the Plattsburg district. Among these
was a young man of twenty-one, who
was made colonel of his regiment by
Governor Seymour. Although an OBJ
scure young lawyer at that time, IN
after life he became Chief Justice Gull
len, of the Court of Appeals. Three OF
the regiments from here were the lotn,
the 9sth and the 116th. Captain Rich
ard Sherman. grandfather of the for
mer Vice President, went from this sec
ton"
Speaking of the conscrlption riots
and the lawlessness prevailing in diff
ferent sections Of the country, and
comparing it with present conditions OF
law and order, he said:
There arc persons living in New
York State to-day who will remember
the raid made on the ST. Albans bank
tho year of 1s63-'64 by Southern de-
serters and refugees, who killed an
official of the bank and got away into
Canada with more than 100000. Fear
ing that a similar attack would be
made upon the Plattsburg bank, the
leading men of the town formed a
Home Defence Guard and picketed the
