FRENCH PORTS

ade Fails.

Paris, May 26.-Deputy Jules Gels
created a sensation in the chamber Of
deputies in the course of the discus
sion on the interpretations concerning
submarine warfare by producing stat
istics showing that merchant ships
aegresating $4,000 0 tons had been
sunk since the beginning of 1915. Az
ter he had sharply criticised the navy
department in connection with the
submarine question the chamber de-
ctded to continue the session in secret.
When the public session was re-
sumed, Rear Admiral LAcaze. minis
ter Of marine. replied to the interpel-
lators.
He pointed out that the position of
the allies and neutrals at the begin
ming OF this year al to tonnage was
about the same as at the beginning of
the war.
THE losses Of tho first four months
Of this year may be totalled at $780,
600 tons" the minister declared.
Taking into account the new boats
building the loss at the end Of this
year with tho same intensity Of de-
struction would be 4.6oo,0oo tons out
Of q total Of more than 40, 900 900
tons. IL this the effective blockade
with which Germany menaced us? We
can supply the essential requirements
OF the country In provisions and sup
plies for munitions factories"
The minister Of marine declared
that all merchant ships by October
wiz have been armed with two can
mons OF ~ mtllfmeters each. The ma

corn Ia to 4 lac; oats 1-2 to 1 7-8c.
and provisions IL 1-2 to 40c.
Interest continued keen in regard to
harvest conditions for the new wheat
crop. According to the best informa-.
ton at hand, cutting in Texas will
start In earnest within ten days, and
be general in two weeks. AZ a rule
the harvest there will be a little late.
The first wheat cut was In an ex-
tremely dry spot and was something
OF a n exception. although there are
numerous other dry places on which
early cutting will be done.
Corn prices broke sharply under
the weight Of general liquidating sales

a result Of increased rural offerings.
Oats duplicated the action of corn.

MARKET NEWS.

Chicago. May 2e.-ssntiment In the
grain trade taken n . whole IL more
bearish. There il little selling Of July
owing to light stocks for the present
and prospective September 10 being
sold by liquidators and shorts. on
the recent advance the short interest
was driven out Of all grains and the
rapid and severe declines nov are
largely the result as there is little new
bull speculation coming into the mar-
kets. In fact there Ia q feeling amonr
the trade leaders that there is nothing
bullish considering the present price
level. From the way July wheat and
oats were sold yesterday the trade had
the impression that foreigners were
unloading. Scattered longs among the
foreigners were dropping out Of wheat
but there was nc confirmation Of their
sales of oats. July corn was picked
up by a few commission houses in a
way that attracted attention ut the
last as 1t lost only 1-2c for the day
against 4 1-Sc for September. There
Is fear Of congestion In July.

Poultry Diseases.
The question of disease in the poul-
try lock Is of very little importance
II they are given the proper attention.
Remedies are nearly always found in
simply changing some discrepancy in
feeding or management. There IL very
chicken other than killing 1t 30 as to
remove any chance of possible infec-
tion. The losses are very largely due
to overlooking or an improper COM
bination of feeds. Also improper vent

Rules for tho Farm Stock.
Fol securing the best results from
poultry. Investigations made by the
department Of agriculture on the
question of Handling and Marketing
OF Eggs 10 very valuable. In bulletin
NO. 141 of the Bureau Of Animal In
dustry they give the following ugges-
tons to the farmer: First. improve
your poultry stock; second. keep one
of general-purpose breeds. such
as Plymouth Rocks, W%yandottes, Orp-
ington or Rhode Island Red; provide
one clean. dry. ivermin-proof nest for
every FOUR or five hens; conclude all
Matching by June l and sell off or
confine all male birds during the re-
matnder Of the summer; gather eggs
once daily during ordinary times. and
twice daily during the hot or rainy
weather; In summer place The eggs
as soon as gathered in a cool. dry
room; use all small and dirty eggs at
home: market eggs freQuently-twice

In taking eggs to market protect them
from h suns rays.
In selling insist hat the transaction

been given the eggs the system will
mean more money to the producer.

an important one. 1t is probable that
some may wish more information.
Their are perhaps a hundred books
published on various phases of poul-
try work.
There are published by the depart

GRAIN LETTER,

Chicago, May 26.-Prices rallied a
little early in the session but later
broke with coarse grains and on lack
of demand. Foreign reports show nc
change except that some Roadway is
being made in combating the sub
marine dangers. Weather conditions
are generally favorable and spring
wheat reports are very favorable.
Cash premiums have, worked off a
little but there is no special weakness
in this direction and while primary
receipts are liberal. there is no great
amount of wheat coming on sale. The
market will probably continue nerv-
Gus.
Corn was forced lower again on
local and commission house selling
and the demand soon gave out. July
was as weak as September. The cash
demand 10 only fair except from local
industries.
The weather map showed general
rains and the crop has sufficient mois-
ture. Talk of selling Of old corn was
heard in a more general way today.
Liquidation is likely to run its course
unless there m some radical
change in crop outlook.
