CHICAGO Horse Market.

Chicago, Feb. 1S.-The horse marker
was active today. There was a gener-
al good demand for bulk OF offerings
The weather was more moderate. rms
is expected to cause more hoerai
supply and at the same time help the
demand for horses, The run TO-DAY was
light, following a very light supply last
week. Prices wcre steady today
Army horses are rather scarce, ou'
supply was large enough to take care
of the inspection demand, which has
been light for some time. Shippers
had orders for horses today, which
added action to the auction ceiling
while city buyers were keen enough 70
stimulate the private sales.
Receipts for the day were estimated
at 500 head. against 800 week ago, l.
$50 a year ago and 1.43i for CORE
spending day two years ago.

Cicaso. Feb. 1S-Strength develop
ed In the wheat market today largely
on account Of the reports Of the de-
parture Of thTty-eight merchant ships
from the Virginia capes bound for Eur
ope, conveyed by speedy British cruis-
ers. Better weather conditions tended
further to encourage the bulls. 1t was
asserted now that the belligerents
needed food more urgently than shells

likely to improve. Opening prices.
which ranged from 1 cent to 2A cents
higher. with May at L76 to LII and
July at Isl to 1.521a, were followed by
something Of reaction but then a
fresh upturn.
Later gossip of wide spread move
ment to renew agitation for an en-
barge on foodstuffs export counted as
a depressing factor in the market.
Bearish sentiment was increased by
guesses about the probable course Of
the government In dealing with the
German naval program. The close
was unsettled, q to IL cents lower.

Corn.
Corn rose with wheat but soon ran
Into liberal selling and then began to
gag The bears were inclined 20 en-
phasize the prospect that mild temper
atures would lessen the demand for
seed. After opening y to q cent
higher and hardening little more. the
market declined to below Saturdays

The late weakness in wheat operated
as a weight on corn prices. The close
was nervous at q to 1 cent net de-
cline.
Oats.
Lightness Of offerings gave frmness
to oats. Dealers seemed to be watch
ing the action Of wheat rather than
that Of corn
Provisions.
Provisions showed no important
change. Business was only Of q scat

THE COAL SHORTAGE.

New England is deeply interested at the present time in the coal situation. At a season of the year when the SUD- ply is supposed to he the largest, when the price is usually the lowest and . when orders are ordinarily given in great numbers. it is next to impos- sible to buy beyond immediate needs. Bituninous coal is selling far beyond what anthracite used to command, and hard coal is quoted at figures which makes people wonder whether they can afford to buy and dealers declare that they are not anxious to accept orders. even at prices which are twice what were demanded only a few years ago
 The transportation question has something to do with the existins trouble but when the federal trade commission which has been looking into this matter declares that too tuucE money is being demanded for coal it indicates that that is not en- tirely responsible for the present sit uation- It makes it more and more apparent. however. that 1t is a mat ter which the government must take hold of sooner or later in the interest of the consumer.
 Efforts to relieve the transportation problem are being put forth and it is mot imDroba bIe that some relief will be obtained in that way for it is thor nuEhlv underst stood that coal shipments like all others are badly delayed. It is the suggestion of ex-Prssdent FL siott Of the New Haven road that the government can do much to aid in overcoming this handicap by repeating certain of the SIT Ubmarine regulations which now restrict *Ise coal carrying vessels which pass through Long Isl- and sound 10 New England ports to uayiisht sailing Every reasonable et- fort should be made to furnish all re- lief possible and the wisdom of the suggestion offered by MT Elliott that coal carrying vessels have the right of way at all times in order to care for New Engianc's shortage ought to be fully recognized by the government That would doubtless be of much benefit but there are even then trou- bles which nezd different attention and need t at once.
Norwich bulletin., 1917-05-11

farmers are doing out in the brush better look up a few facts.
 Not only is 12-cent milk a sure thing, but 15-cent milk will be a re- aiity in the fall and scarce at any frice. The cold, wet season means short grain crops and belated planting. With help at $2.75 a day. grain $3.5O hundred, four sugar, clothes, in fact everything dairyman uses double and triple, the usual price milk has got to go up or farmers will sell the cows for beef: which I have done with half my herd. and which thousands have done this past winter.
 You never hear '-BilI" kick about shoes being s8 it pair or flour s16 a barrel or because castor oil has dou- bed in price, nor say a word when his union votes eight hours and a S1 per day raise. that's as 1t should be of course. But the farmer pays for 1t !n the end and works his IA hours per day right along, and is supposed to be gentle dociie fellow. with whisk- CTS and hayseed, that will not kick use him. All he is good for is to work and raise a whole lot of grain, vege- ta bles and eats to feed "Bi11,'' Sub scriber" and their like. cheap enough, SC with their last raise they can buy new Dodge like the Jones family has and look wise and prosperous when they 20 home to visit their mother Jaw
 But dairymen wouldn't c0mplain if they could live and pay their bills but when thev ran in the hole s20G or more a month last winter. they com menced selling cows for beef, milk began to be scarce. is yet, and will be tor years to come, as there are be- tween 10000 to 25.000 cows in Con- recticut less than two years ago. And in Windham county there are draves of about go a day going to the butch CTS and the calves go with them.
 So Bill. don't kick on 12-cent milk. Smoke one less 1e-rent cigar, and drive the old Ford a while longer. and let the farmer live. because you city people won't live long without he raises a surplus over what he uses, and no surplus will you get unless yqu pay Q fair price for it.
